That really does not make sense to me. How can concubines women have the flesh of
a donkey? That is why I think that PILAG:$"HEM should be translated as
genitials or something related to it.


Well, women do have large fleshy parts which men lust after. Could the reference here be to those parts?

And to the objection that the lusting one is female, I would say that the female word is being used allegorically of males.
