What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?

The chapter is a prophetic denunciation of Judah and Samaria, both of which had committed spiritual prostitution, that is, they had gone after false gods and pagan religion with a sort of sexual lustfulness, hence the prophet's words about them being like horny women going after men with huge penises.

Here's the original Hebrew:

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

And for she lusted/for/her illicit lovers/whose/the flesh/of donkeys/is like/gushing of fluid [as in, the organ that provides that]/of horses/whose gushing of fluid.

She lusted after them like the concubines of men whose male members are like those of a donkey and whose genitals are like those of a horse.

וַֽתַּעְגְּבָ֔ה עַ֖ל פִּֽלַגְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׂר־חֲמֹורִים֙ בְּשָׂרָ֔ם וְזִרְמַ֥ת סוּסִ֖ים זִרְמָתָֽם׃
