Formerly「woody with clitoris meat pulled in lordosis position」here as「woody meat spurts with clitoris.」May be depicting the most common way to begin peeling and eating an orange, which is to insert something stiff into the bottom and piercing the skin, then continuing to slide deeply into the hole between the orange segments, prying it open. Apparently, the vivid imagination of the Chinese sages depicting that the bottom puckered hole between orange segments also could be likened to the puckered appearance of an anus, or to initially penetrating a virgin's hymen and then sliding between the vaginal walls…or that the yellowish color of semen (or, pus) mixed with the reddish color of a bloody torn hymen merge to appear as an ORANGE color. Perhaps「tree-climbing」to pick ORANGES, although one might climb all sorts of other trees as well in order to gather fruit or nuts.

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.
