Japanese adds MANIPULATE (to use hands and handle with some skill), and REPEATING THE SAME ACTION or a REPEAT PERFORMANCE, that also might describe the same motions of feet and hands repeated again and again in a DANCE STEP or particular DANCING STYLE such as the waltz, tango, jitterbug, twist, bump and grind, etc. There is little doubt that one obvious purpose of modern dancing is sexual allure, and really old dancing, too for that matter.
「Orifice with erotica」and「lordosis in use, ass bucket, rod in mooning meat」details booty-shaking, twerking, and mooning to attract or manipulate potential sexual partner(s) for the moment, males and females LEAPING AT AN OPPORTUNITY that presents itself, and REPEATING THE SAME PERFORMANCE with as many as possible until exhaustion, all descriptive of how both the males and females of many species copulate, MATING DANCES in what is more politely referred to as COURTSHIP DISPLAYS.
As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis:「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …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.
