Meanings of elements

DEPRAVED, INFECTED DEAD MEAT, DENUDED within SKIN SHEATH, PREPUCE, PLACE FOR YOUR HAND, ARMREST
…or: STRETCHED SKIN, HOW MANY TIMES ERECTION THRUSTING FORWARD with ROD in HEAPING TABLESPOON OF FLUIDS
…or: STIFF AND SWIFT LATERAL MOVEMENT with ROD SKEWED TO ONE SIDE
…or: STIFF SWIFT LATERAL MOVEMENT of ROD HEAD SLIDING with TENSE GASPS

Significantly, the use of 夕 in this glyph purports to mean DAWNING, EARLY, PRECOCIOUS BEHAVIOR.「Swift motions, erection thrusting with heaping tablespoon of fluids」fits well with morning erections common to most primate males awakening in the cave as an INBORN human characteristic, LONG-HELD (both figuratively and literally) and LONG-CHERISHED morning wood: 'nocturnal penile tumescence,' the fancy way of saying these same elements today, is a natural process that occurs for healthy males with balanced hormones (should be a daily occurrence).
VERY EARLY IN LIFE that some sources suggest as INBORN, inside and under the「stretched skin」and「within the meat and bones」or「down to the marrow of denuded bones」as a depiction of THROUGH AND THROUGH. Birth (the「born」of「inborn」) was a LONG TIME AGO for most of us and including the Chinese sages, a process that「stretches the skin」of both the mother and child while passing through the birth canal, and is most often performed while nude (or「denuded」), at least the mother's lower extremities, and certainly the child. Other element combinations need no explanation as the historical human condition from ages past, generally inborn human characteristics.
OUTCASTS FROM SOCIETY, a Japanese meaning, perhaps using the elements as「depraved infected dead meat within skin sheath, prepuce」to describe the effects of a sexually transmitted infectious disease.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: morning; early; long-held; long-cherished
Japanese EDRDG: bright and early, long ago, early in life
Unihan extended: early in morning, dawn; previous

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.
