Might as well face it, animals are naturally ADDICTED to sex, a result of evolutionary forces to ensure the propagation of any species, including homo sapiens.
「Liquid and poked in cauldron」are the modern elements for making pickles, meaning to PICKLE, STEEP. Right element itself means「responsibility, liability, blame」and perhaps depicting the action of being「responsible, liable」for completely submerging something in a「liquid」and leaving it there implies that there would always be a proper time to remove the items from the liquid. Once something was IMMERSED, SUBMERGED for pickling, dyeing, or any other reason, eventually it must be drawn out of the solution. Marinated for a long while, but then removed from the marinade. Dunked into the dye, then rinsed.
Alternatively,「flowing fluids」of「prick with fleshpot」refers to EVIL INFLUENCE, SEX ADDICTION, and so on.
The phallic shape of cucumbers, Asian eggplant, Asian radishes, green or purple or yellow-white color, slimy feel, bumpy withered skin, covered with herbs, strong smell and taste of PICKLES are clearly being likened to the characteristics of a gonorrhea-infected penis wrapped in a poultice for many hours or days. Perhaps a source of the English expression,「in a pickle.」
「PICKLED」is an expression of the last century that referred to intoxication, noting that alcohol is in fact toxic when consumed in large quantities (the root of the word 'intoxicated').

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
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!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
