As「person with thrusting penis spurting shaft stance of battling dogs」the glyph refers to COIN payments to a service provider for services rendered. Coins were used as a medium of exchange and to store value for a later use by shamans, making the sale and rental of sex slaves possible as a real「cash cow」「milch cow」business as is said in English (see 牛 as an investment in assets, a means to produce future revenue), with the reference to milking sticky sweet white fluids with little effort not a coincidence. The first money after bartering was cash in the form of coin, not promises to pay coin printed on paper that evolved later. Don't laugh at the fools who trusted gold coins good for nothing except artful decoration at the time just because kings wanted gold and folks said that coins would always have value, or subsequently trusted and accepted paper IOUs issued by banks and then governments as promises to pay gold and silver coins at some later date, because today we have digital binary 0s and 1s in the Cloud as debit and credit balances, entirely ethereal from start to finish, and no promise to remit anything other than more digital entries in exchange, ever…think about that and who is a fool. At least, with a dollar bill or some other paper currency, you can use it to wipe your ass in a pinch.

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.
