Wiping and washing the genitals before and immediately after sex will not guarantee by 100% the prevention of any sexually transmitted disease…nevertheless, genital washing before and immediately after sex does reduce the risk of passing along an infection to someone else, even if only by removing the big chunks…cleansing as soon as possible before and after is critical. The United Nations reports that:「Genital washing has been suggested as a means to prevent STD transmission to men. Studies of military personnel in World War I and World War II found that washing with soap and water soon after exposure to STDs helped prevent chancroid.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Unihan extended: evil, wrong, bad; criminal
EDRDG: Shintō zigzag paper offerings; bad habit; humble prefix; gift
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?

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.
