Figging
Figging[edit | edit source]
Figging is a practice that involves the insertion of a piece of peeled ginger root into the anus or vagina. This practice is often associated with BDSM activities, where it is used to create a burning sensation as a form of erotic stimulation or punishment.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of figging are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been practiced in ancient Greece and Rome. It was reportedly used as a method of discipline for slaves and women, where the discomfort caused by the ginger would serve as a deterrent for undesirable behavior.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare ginger for figging, a fresh ginger root is peeled and shaped into a smooth, finger-like form. The ginger is then inserted into the anus or vagina, where the natural oils and compounds in the ginger cause a warming and tingling sensation. The intensity of the sensation can vary depending on the freshness of the ginger and the sensitivity of the individual.
Sensation and Effects[edit | edit source]
The sensation caused by figging is often described as a warm, burning feeling that can range from mild to intense. The effects typically last for about 20 to 30 minutes, after which the ginger can be removed. The sensation is caused by the gingerol and other compounds in the ginger, which are known to have a warming effect on the skin and mucous membranes.
Safety Considerations[edit | edit source]
While figging is generally considered safe when practiced with care, there are some important safety considerations to keep in mind:
- Use fresh ginger to avoid irritation from mold or bacteria.
- Ensure the ginger is peeled and shaped smoothly to prevent injury.
- Avoid using figging if there are any cuts or abrasions in the area to prevent irritation or infection.
- Be aware of any allergies to ginger or related compounds.
Related Practices[edit | edit source]
Figging is sometimes compared to other forms of sensory play in BDSM, such as wax play or impact play, where different sensations are used to enhance erotic experiences. It is also related to anal play and vaginal play, where various objects or substances are used to stimulate these areas.
