FIGGING – LEARN ABOUT BDSM AND THIS BOTANICAL BUTT PLUG

Traditionally, figging was used as an animal cruelty form, but nowadays, it's part of kink among humans in BDSM plays. In sex, when you think you've seen it all, the wonders never stop. Figging involves the use of ginger during sex. It's also known as gingering, and this article is here to discuss details about the real magic. It'd be best if you continued scrolling to learn more.

Defining figging

What exactly is figging? It's the act of inserting raw and peeled ginger into the butt hole. It may also extend to inserting ginger in the pussy or urethra. The purpose is to create a tingling, warm, and burning sensation that feels sexy to some individuals. It may also feel painful, humiliating, and intense simultaneously, but exciting. People do that by peeling a fingerlike ginger and properly curving it to penetrate the asshole for pleasure. They even go ahead to make it tapered at the tip for easier entry and widen the base to prevent dislodging. While ginger is the most used food in figging, any other can serve as long as it gives the joy you want. Mostly, people prefer going for anything with pepper, such as peppermint, hot peppers, garlic, and cinnamon.

Figging may have several other definitions depending on the use. Generally, it's the practice of shaping a ginger root into a butt plug curve for penetrating in the anus. When inserted, the root's oil brings a warming and burning feeling to the receiver. We can also describe it in role-play as a performance used in the times of Victorian, hence mainly used along with the Victorian style role play and medical role play too. For people who enjoy intense arousal in kink play, figging with ginger root is a wonderful game that creates moderate sensitivity. No one is at risk of injury or harm. Additionally, in BDSM, when one fails to follow the rules and gets punishment via figging, the act helps tighten the rectum muscles making the sensation more intensifying- mostly experienced with spanking or whipping the butt.

Origin of figging name

Why call it figging, yet figs don't take part at all? Probably, fig comes from the word 'feague,' meaning placing ginger in a horse's butt hole to make it lift its tail for appearing spirited. This information is sourced from The Dictionary of Vulgar Tongue as written by Francis Gross in 1811. You feague a horse by filling ginger in its ass to give it livelihood and enable tail raising. Furthermore, feague describes physical decoration to improve looks via artificial ways. To get the most out of this act, peel the ginger and run it on a grater to obtain finer and wetter particles on its surface, then insert. That intensity created can be renewed by grating every ten minutes ad inserting back. Avoid insertion using lube.

Ginger is available in two types, the old and new types. The difference is that old ginger appears woody on the outside and is more intense. Ginger is also grown in different varieties and differ in tastes. Many advanced BDSM players enjoy playing a game called 'match the ginger.' Here, the sub sniffs or licks different ginger types and uses the same varieties for figging. It's their duty to feel the type inserted through the feeling they get. Don't forget that they're blindfolded during the game.

Reasons for figging

People carry out figging because they love the burning emotion it creates in their orifices. That’s not general, since humans are different. While some people enjoy the feeling ginger delivers to their asses, others find it unbearable. There’s also a category of those doing it for the sake, but dislike, more so if playing the dominant or sadist role in power exchange.

Ginger sensation builds up slowly when inserted. The receiver feels warm and tingling as it interacts with your fragile genital nerves and tissues. Later, the feeling grows to a burning stimulation. Suppose the receiver wants to heighten sensation, they can press the butt muscles as if clenching the sphincter area. In case you want the ginger's potency to hike, fermenting is recommended. Accompaniments to figging could include spanking, cropping, and flogging. Most of them make the receiver compress their ass and increase the burning. Failure to clench will only raise the implement’s impact when acted on their bodies.

Are there any safety concerns in figging?

Generally, ginger causes irritation, but its risks are minor because it's a natural root. That means you shouldn't panic since it's organic. The irritating or burning sensation will only last for around 20 minutes or so. It may only be unfortunate if the base you make isn't wide enough, and unluckily disappears inside your ass. You may have to find your way to the ER for help. Other concerns are when one forgets to wash their hands and scratches eyes with ginger that possibly causes a less kinky eyeball burning.

The best practices involve ensuring the ginger is smooth without patches and edges for smooth ass hole penetration.  Maybe a question could be, do you need lube? Well, a debate is ongoing, and some say the item is slippery enough. Besides, lube may reduce the intended effect of the ginger. Others, on the other hand, claim lubing up is more important. All in all, it’s matters of the rectum and heart.

The bottom line

Figging is the practice of inserting a nicely carved ginger root into the shape of a butt plug for inserting in the anus. The act was earlier applied mainly to animals- horses, to raise their till and get spirited. But nowadays, it's applied by humans in achieving sexual fun and enjoyment. Figging comes from the term feague, which implies decorating something to improve its appearance using artificial ways. The process is mainly enjoyed by people who are so much into kinky plays and want to explore the burning sensation created by ginger in the sphincter nerves. Others even use it in the vagina. If you're concerned about its safety, note that ginger is a natural plant, thus organic and safe for use except for a few concerns discussed above.
