Meanings are less convoluted if the left element is interpreted simply as「sexual encounter, foreplay」with the right element itself formed from「erect gasping while getting lucky, or, spread legs revealing vagina with penis inserted deeply.」'singing girls' with deft tonguing skills cohabited in caverns and halls (bagnio, brothel house) enabling clients to easily move from person to person to person, engaging in「foreplay over the complete circuit, full penetration into orifice」allowing INVESTIGATION of skills, PREPARING the ARRANGEMENT of PUTTING IN ORDER the desired sequence of activities and list of singing girls for the next trek across the floor, sampling the MOOD and CONDITION of each service provider, permitting ADJUSTMENTS of all sorts as the need was felt, changing the TEMPO of activity. Allusions to music perhaps are extended meanings pertaining to 'making music and poetry, songs while flashing with the singing girls' and so forth.

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.
