Ezekiel 23:19-21

19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Comparing Israel (the 10 northern tribes) and Judah (in the south) to two sisters who are prostituting themselves and looking for sexual satisfaction all over the place. This is because Israel and Judah were willing to run after all sorts of religions instead of being faithful to God.
Some of the language is shocking to us because we are still under the influence of the Victorian age.

If you read the entire piece:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=33&chapter=23&version=31

the key sentence is "Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem", but then the guys goes off on this rant about the donkey genitalia and whatnot that lasts for a while. Guess he wasn't getting any.

It concludes with "You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.", as typical of our loving god.

Mr Ed said it well (giggle @ his name, in reference to a horse) and verse 25 says "they shall remove your nose and your ears"

This refers to a prostitute in Egypt who searched for men with big penises that released a lot of semen in their ejaculations. She loved to be touched.

It's an analogy about Israel, talking about their unfaithfulness to God - it's compared to a prostitute being unfaithful to her husband.
