Each paragraph unfolds a distinct scene, state, or shade of meaning. Read them in sequence so the interpretations stay clear.
The fortress symbolizes the female genitals.
If you besiege or storm a fortress, but cannot capture it, you are unlikely to achieve your goal; you are wasting your energy because the object of your desires is indifferent to you.
If you broke into the fortress, your behavior in sex is accompanied by elements of sadism.
If you inspect the fortress from the outside, you are very indecisive when meeting with members of the opposite sex, and any hints that can be double interpreted cause panic.
If you inspect the fortress from the inside, in sex you prefer to be the passive party, led by giving the initiative to your partner.
If a man is near the ruins of a fortress, he is dissatisfied with his partner and would like to change her.
If a woman is in the ruins of a fortress, she feels aversion to sexual contacts (in general or only with this sexual partner).
