What is it talking about?
Tan
English translation:couch potato husbands
Explanation:
Great answer with respect to the main question, but you seem to want more. So:
The "ladies" exploit their seductive wiles to the fullest, thus enticing their couch potato husbands from their
hideouts.
You can't use "lairs" or "preserves" because you lost the "tigers" in the translation.
