What do you know about figging, and why do you think most BDSM couples prefer it? Herein is a complete guide on everything you need to know about figging, including how to prepare and its impact on your sex life.

Figging involves the insertion of ginger into the vaginal or anal cavity. Unlike other BDSM activities, it is not commonly applied. Generally, figging combines extreme punishment and anal play to provide an unforgettable experience. With this guide, you will learn to plan for a comfortable and safe figging that comes with pleasure and pain. This BDSM play comes with extreme punishment only for the advanced BDSM players. Here is everything you need to know about the figging,

Why Do People Engage in Figging?

Figging is used to instill pain and pleasure. However, most women might enjoy figging as a BDSM play due to their ability to find comfort and endurance in this punishment. Although it is not for the fainthearted, some people find figging pleasurable and sensational. For some women, the insertion of ginger in their anal canal causes arousal and a great desire to reach orgasm. You should consider trying this, especially when you are advanced in different BDSM activities that involve pain. 

A Guide to Figging 

Are you thinking of introducing figging into your sex life? This BDSM play is commonly known for instilling punishment using ginger and other bondage tools. Here is a complete guide to figging.

Prepare for Figging 

Prepare for figging before you get into it.  This play is all about pain and pleasure, and there is a need to be careful. When buying ginger, choose one with fingers for comfortable handling during insertion. Peel your ginger into a recommendable size and shape, and carve away all the bumps while peeling. You can also create grooves on your ginger, a flared base, and a thick neck for comfortable and safe figging.

Fermenting 

Some people love making their figging experience painful but pleasurable. You can ferment your ginger before the erotic play to achieve this. Insert your ginger inside a plastic bag, and squeeze it to remove any air. Place it inside your refrigerator for 5 to 6 days. Peel the ginger before inserting it into your orifice.

Alternatives to Ginger

The burning effect of ginger makes most people prefer other alternatives. Here are some of the alternatives you can choose to replace ginger;

  • Toothpaste 
  • Peppermint 
  • Tiger Balm and creams
  • Stinging nettles

Before getting started, revisit your BDSM rules. You can also use cooling or heating lubricants for erotic sensation play. This might not be as intense and risky as figging.

Insertion and Playtime 

Slightly insert your perfectly peeled ginger inside your asshole. However, consider applying plenty of lube on both your ginger and anal canal for comfortable and easy insertion. Insert the ginger until the groove/neck to keep it perfectly in place. Consider doing it slowly to prevent the ginger from breaking. Males and females can use the insertion of ginger for pleasurable anal stimulations. However, the oil in ginger varies since some of them are intense compared to others. 

What if the Ginger Gets Stuck?

The ginger can easily get stuck inside your anal canal during figging when not peeled perfectly. Therefore, consider making your ginger ‘plug’ with a neck/groove and flared base to prevent any chances of getting stuck. Also, you can do squatting or bearing to get the ginger out of your anus. 

Vaginal and Clitoral Figging 

You can try out figging in your vagina or clitoris for some sensational pleasures. The preparation is similar, but the flared base of the ginger is of no use. Unlike the asshole, the vagina can use the cervix to prevent the ginger from deeper penetration or getting stuck. You can also design your ginger to resemble a curved dildo for pleasurable G-spot stimulation. For the clitoris, figging might not be extremely intense compared to anal and vaginal figging. Moreover, you can also hold the ginger on your clitoris during anal and vaginal sex for additional sensations. 

What Does Figging Feel Like 

The feeling of figging does not come immediately, especially when using ginger. It takes a few minutes for the pain caused by ginger to be felt. Generally, the ginger often begins with a cool effect, followed by tingly burns. The burns are a result of gingerol contents. Also, gingerol contains capsaicin, which is present in the vanilloid compound. Capsaicin is what causes the hot effect in peppers. However, in ginger, the burn is caused by gingerol. It also causes intense heat during a figging session. The oil from ginger might transfer to your eyes or face, which will be challenging to handle. Therefore, consider washing your hands after figging to prevent the sensitive areas from experiencing a burn.

What are the Risks of Figging?

While most people consider figging a comfortable and safe game, risks are involved. Great preparation for figging is ideal but might not prevent you from exposing yourself to other common risks. The risks of figging include;

  • Cutting yourself when shaping or pealing your ginger root
  • Vaginal and anal irritation.
  • Ginger sticking inside your anal canal or vagina
  • Transfer of oil inside your eyes.

When using ginger during the figging session, make a wider neck to prevent it from breaking inside your ass. Also, insert the ginger inside your anal canal slowly and gently to prevent breaking. Unlike other materials, figging with ginger does not cause any burn. In fact, including ginger in your figging session allows you experience its juicy taste.
