Meanings of elements

SUPINE, PRONE PERSON with MANY UPWARD THRUSTING PENISES and EVENING ACTIVITIES with INVERTED FEET

「Prone person」over「many upward thrusting penises side by side」(or doubled「orgy, cooperation」) with「evening meat」and「inverted and curled feet」(those found within foot-binding cloths): Chinese meanings are to hold something in one's hands and excitedly wave or shake it around, recalling that females with all the bones in their feet crushed into a buttery paste did not in fact dance around too much in the usual sense of dancing,…yet, their feet were held off the floor while in the hands of others and moved in a jiggling waving and shaking manner as the men got themselves off, as it were, while DANCING and HOPPING AROUND, WIELD or BRANDISH something in one's hands, hold no-longer-integrated feet for jiggling and turning in circles in order to give an audience on all sides a good look as might occur at a bonobo-style human orgyfest, and the girl with her legs up in the air pivoting in a circle while lying on her back, BOOTY SHAKING, JIGGLING, TURNING IN CIRCLES, creating a BUSY, BUSTLING SCENE full of live action. Clearly,「booty shaking」is this sort of dancing, with「boot」referring to her feet sole wrappings of skin.
「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture…Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
