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

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.

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.

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