[Elements vary by font] a SINGLE LOG USED AS A BRIDGE that describes the connective tissue between the body mass of a client in dynastic China and the body mass of a service provider, or spouse, of the same era. Not the safest means of reaching one's goal, being very slippery when wet and lacking any means to prevent a precipitous fatal fall. Shape of a client's appendage engaging a foot is the FOOTBRIDGE that is bridging the gap between the two parties involved. See the various related glyphs that use this same analogy and refer to a BRIDGE.
The instep would have been used for stepping on the vines or rope used as the first BRIDGES. Purposeless motion may be the side to side swaying, or bounding up and down a bit. Loitering, dawdling, and hesitation might have been common also.
Or: PILLWOOD (Japanese まるき, 丸木) is a heavy hardwood for outdoor use, resistant to both rot and invading vermin. A bridge made of pillwood should stand a long time. Note that まるき, 丸木 also simply means「round tree」as a log laid across a gap, sunken hole, cavity, or gorge: the gorgeous parts used during a coupling,「loitering sliding rod head motions with rod wrapped in tension and gasping.」

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.
