Meanings of elements

START USE OF, REAMING MEAT with DISCHARGED RELEASE, EMISSION BLASTED OUT, EJACULATE, LIBERATE, SET FREE
…or: SPREAD TO ALL SIDES, MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT and COERCE, FORCE, INCITE ACTION, PROSTRATE AND STROKING, WHACKING

「Spread in all directions」with「forced, coerced, inciting action」meaning literally to PAVE THE WAY for something, such as a parking lot with asphalt, or SMEAR as if applying paint. PROMULGATE is a figurative extension depicting to spread the word and enforce it with whacking as needed. SITTING may be derived from「spreading」one's fat buttocks on a seat or cushion and the body weight「forcing the person's flesh to spread」in all directions (related to the「spread legs mooning」element), not to further mention that service providers often were forced to sit most of the time, unable to stand or walk too well.
Applying some fluid to a surface as a means of PAVING THE WAY「forced to spread in all directions」seems to indicate first dipping one's rod or stick into something wet in order to fully coat all the surfaces and then spreading the liquid, such as a brush used TO PAINT a surface. And as a lubricant: top-left element「spread legs in mooning position, temporary use」may indicate the 'proper sequence' (番) to avoid contamination and bleeding…recall the innate behavior of bonobo-like humans and「father coercing a person.」

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.
