Glyphs having identical meanings (关, 關) apparently with equivalent internal elements may tell the story best.「Emissions」with the original form of「heaven」(middle stroke is wider than the top stroke) within a「gateway, methodology.」Older version uses「multiple loose dripping emissions」(幺) with「diva, hair-raising experiences」within the「gateway」as something TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. Indicates a CONNECTION, being INVOLVED since if a person became ill in this manner, then everyone know there was only one way it occurred, and NO TURNING BACK, NO GOING BACK to the way it was before. Both older glyphs lead to the conclusion that the glyph represents「heaven's gate.」Traditional fonts display 关 as「arrow, sick penis」(矢) with「and the other side, too」at the top-right, suggesting that if one is struck on both sides by an arrow, or multiple infections and illness, the predictable result will be certain death and a one-way pass into heaven, checking in but unable to check out as it were.
Suggests barring participation in the communal sex activities, the bonobo-style orgies due to illness, or being underaged (was that possible?). Original element of「methods of many loose and dripping emissions with prepubescent female」indicate pedophilia and NO TURNING BACK, NO GOING BACK to the way we were. Etymology in English of「pedo, paedo」from Latin and/or Greek refer to one or all of「young and small child」「feet」「feces and flatulence, anal emissions.」…just coincidences?
A MOUNTAIN PASS functions as an unavoidable BARRIER, ONE WAY THROUGH or THE ONLY WAY to pass, and a CONNECTION from one side to the other.
Scholars explain these elements as treadles that are actuated by thrusting downward with one's feet on one side of a loom and then the other side, too.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
