Glyph elements [ Toggle Font ]
「Rotations, screwings」with a「plugging orifice」as a vehicle, a means to an end of some sort, with a「temporary use」「begin to use」「spread wider.」…or as a「vehicle used by one's father」: PROVIDING ASSISTANCE, to SAVE or to RESCUE someone who was currently being used by their father (right element「screwing rod in meat with emphasis, in use, with excrement」), or more likely, a SPARE set of meat orifices kept by the father for his use in an emergency (i.e., something that emerged).
In Japanese, the main meaning today is to SAVE or RESCUE someone, but also to COMPLEMENT as in 'something added' that goes together well with the primary item or actions, one placed on each side as depicted by the left element. Glyph also means CHEEKS (buttocks, or oral) as「spread wider」and「begin to use」a spare set, a「vehicle for father」when in need…auxiliary use, and so on.
Perhaps significantly in dynastic China, these elements also are「emphasis」on「three screwing」with「abdominal meat, plugging meat orifices」that may have referred to clients accessing the groin CHEEKS and oral cheeks, with another using the no-longer-integrated feet of a service provider as she lay on her backside as COMPLEMENTS, ready to ASSIST as needed,「temporary use」「begin to use」「spread widely」「in rotation, taking one's turn with」and so on. This same sort of multi-access servicing can still be seen today at various sites posting videos and images on the Internet, sans no-longer-integrated feet, naturally.

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.
