I get most of it but what's the eggplant for?

I'm tempted to add the translation_request tag

Suwako is the only one not a virgin of the three (being Sanae's ancestor), which also explains Kanako's expression. Hope that explains this.

Seriously, what's the eggplant for?

Not in public, Kanako.

...I can't help but think she's talking about futas, looking at the top right pic.

Nah, that's "the train enters the tunnel." The eggplant I can't hope to explain.

I only understand the top right pic.What are the others talking about?

Some how i get it

Yeah, everyone knows there are no trains in Gensoukyou.

Girls sometimes use eggplant and boys need tissues to soak up all that tension

Key and lock - key fits in lock or it can also mean unlocking that sweet spot.
Train - the train enters the tunnel
tissues - well ya gotta clean up after yourselves

and now for the one that confuses people

eggplant - ... simple some women used vegetables to masturbate, and well an eggplant would be an impossibly thick dong... and thus men gotta compete with the girth of eggplants now.

No comments on where Kanako's hand is?

Suwako is the only female* character absolutely confirmed to have had sex -in the entire cast-. Various characters have been (or are) married, but you can be married without sleeping together with your spouse, especially if it was merely politcal and the both of you are effectively immortal (such as the Watatsuki sisters).

• Konpaku Yuki is the only -male- character, since he's Youmu's grandfather.

Even then, wasn't he technically just said to be her predecessor?

Kanako, just where exactly is that hand of yours going?

Who in Touhou is or has been married?

The Watatsuki sisters

I feel sorry for the poor sods that married those two.

Because this was never really properly answered, here's a quote from a report on symbolism in Japan:
"The word for eggplant
(nasu) is a homophone for “giving birth”."

In other words, the Eggplant is a symbol of fertility and childbirth.

Key = insertion
Train = excessive release of energy
Eggplant = fruition
Paper = clean up

hope that's explained

"The word for eggplant
(nasu) is a homophone for “giving birth”."

At least one person made the effort to find an answer, instead of posting their best guess. Thank you.

Train goes in the tunnel. Classic metaphor.

Is that also why the eggplant is part of the lucky hatsuyume trio?

Not really, Suwako is a god so its possible that she just went YHWH on some poor womens ass and go "Give birth to my child".
Then again the Kami weren't really into that and these days we have Junko who's motivation is her betrayal by her husband and the death of her kid and Hecatia who's inspiration was a Virgin Goddes untill she shacked up with Hermes so unless we learn more about that thats a possibility as well.

And I thought the eggplant was meant as a visual euphemism for a penis

Wait, but one of the Watatsukis has kids. We know this because the other one is married to one of 'em.
