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

Here's the translation into English:

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.

Here is that literally word for word:

Does the U.S military really prosecute military staff for cheating on their spouse, or do they close one eye if the cheating does not involve other military personnel since adultery is fairly common? Adultery is illegal in U.S military

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׃

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

What's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?

Here's the original Hebrew:

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.
