I know you've had a few silly answers but just to put an interpretation on this, it kinda evokes that he is sad because he wants her emotionally but that she's only interested in sexual gratification. She's pushing him at her crotch, he's almost weeping, squeezing her legs out of despair. Powerful stuff!

edit: I think its pretty fucking cool

Or maybe that he wants her, but she is trying to push him down (and away).

I definitely get more of what you're saying from the original statue, but with this particular piece I get more of what I said.

That is to say in the statue I think she's pulling away more, where as I don't see that here. If anything it's almost like she's pulling him in by the hair.

I love this interpretation! When I first saw the statue I sorta had the feeling there was a bit of repulsion but I think looking at her face I get the sense that she pities him. In my head cannon for the drawing I loosened her arms and she just doesn't know what to do when confronted with this man who needs someone so she pushes away.
