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

Here's the original Hebrew:

Here is that literally word for word:

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.

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

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.

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.

The full verse is way funnier when translated accurately and in modern English.

Here's the translation into English:

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