Figging
Figging is a practice originally used as a method of animal punishment by the Greeks and Romans, which has since evolved into a sexual practice within the BDSM community. The term "figging" comes from the 19th-century word "feaguing," which involved inserting a piece of skinned ginger root into a horse's anus to make its tail lively. Today, figging refers to the practice of inserting a piece of skinned ginger root into the human anus or vagina.
History[edit | edit source]
The practice of figging dates back to the Greeks and Romans, who used it as a form of animal punishment. The Greeks and Romans would insert a piece of skinned ginger root into a horse's anus to make its tail lively. This practice was known as "feaguing," a term that has since evolved into "figging."
In the 19th century, figging was used as a form of punishment for women. A piece of skinned ginger root would be inserted into the woman's vagina, causing a burning sensation. This practice was believed to be a deterrent for women who were considered to be behaving inappropriately.
Modern Usage[edit | edit source]
Today, figging is used within the BDSM community as a form of erotic humiliation or consensual non-consent. The skinned ginger root, when inserted into the anus or vagina, creates a burning sensation, which can intensify feelings of pleasure or pain. It is considered a form of edgeplay, a category of BDSM activities that are considered to carry significant risk or danger.
Safety[edit | edit source]
While figging is a consensual practice within the BDSM community, it is important to note that it carries potential risks. The burning sensation caused by the ginger root can be intense and may cause discomfort or pain. It is recommended that individuals who engage in figging do so with caution and use a safe word to ensure the practice remains consensual.
