Figging - Ginger - Male perspective

Has anyone tried figging?

This is when you create a plug made out of ginger. The burning is supposed to be intense for about half an hour.

It is one of the most pleasurable sensations I've had 😃

This is also referred to as 'figging'... Google it. It's fairly common in BDSM play, and often used for punishment.

Typically to add to the punishment or humiliation, having the sub/slave skin, (peel), the ginger root themselves, bring it back, have it inserted, then go stand in a corner, and let it do it's job.

It can be used vaginally or anally, and from what I have heard and experienced by administrating this, the 'receiver' claims that it burns quite badly, usually very quickly, begging to have it removed.

Left in, the burning effects typically will only last about 20 minutes, before the ginger root looses it's effectiveness.

Personally, I believe there is some myth, or 'good acting' shared by sub/slaves about how bad it really is!

I've tried it a couple of times with mixed results. I think it depends on how fresh the ginger root is.

The first time I tried it, it got very warm and quite intense and lasted about an hour. Other tries have had almost no effect.

The feeling produced by the anal insertion of the ginger root is EXTREMELY pleasant. It does NOT sting. Rather, after you insert a piece, you slowly begin to feel heat, literally. At first it is warm, but it continues to heat up for 15-20 minutes. Then it starts to lose its effect. It does not hurt. It heats up your ass, and you can stop it by withdrawing the ginger.

Hello all,

I have been playing with ginger in it's various forms for like 10 years now. I've never had a problem with it if you take it easy and go slow. I'm also assuming here the majority of people into enemas have an erotic connection in there arse. Yes, ginger does get very warm but if you let go, and relax, it becomes quite erotic. And no, ginger doesn't die out after 15-20 minutes, just wiggle it around, slide in and out some and it will warm up again. I've had many woman say just ginger on the clit is instant wet in there pussy. And it doesn't have to be a sliver of ginger root, good ole ground ginger works just fine. Ground ginger is potent enough as to it's fresh counterpart. I happen to make my own ginger suppositories which are true suppositories that melt once inserted, which can be done rectally, or vaginally. Makes for some rather intense sex and orgasms...

I did some research for a woman acquaintance who brought up the subject of figging one recent evening. And, since I found the discussion here, it was my thought to share with you. More of my research is available, and it gets more interesting with pics and stories; just let me know if you are interested.

About Figging... (from 3 different perspectives)

ONE....Figging most commonly refers to the act of inserting a piece of fresh, skinless

ginger into the anus or rectum. The ginger causes a strong burning sensation in the anus without causing permanent damage.

Historically, this practice, also known as

feaguing was used to ginger up older horses in order to deceive the purchaser as to the age and condition of the horse. The horse reacts to the sensation caused by the ginger by holding its tail and head high and moving around nervously, which is more characteristic of a younger horse.

This practice is also used in human sexual activity as a form of BDSM. The painful burning sensation is said to be very erotic to the sufferer. The ginger is not only skinned but is often carved into the shape of a butt plug. If the submissive tightens the muscles of the anus, the sensation becomes more intense.

Figging is reputedly an activity that was common during the Victorian era. It was often combined with the practice of whipping or spanking, as this activity would cause the tightening of the anal sphincter. Supposedly, the Victorians felt that a spanking should be received on unclenched buttocks, and figging was a useful practice in the training of the submissive.

TWO The Figging Experiment Figging is what Tina said all the cool kids will be doing this year. You get a decent-sized lump of root ginger, peel it, whittle it into the shape of a schlong and stick it nicely up yer bum. Within seconds you’re tingling inside and out, and horny as a fuck. Awesome!!!

Obviously intrigued by this, I popped into Somerfield on the way home and got some supplies. That was an hour ago; since then I’ve worn the root down to a stump, come twelve times, and caused water damage to the flat below. Jennifer

THREE Spanking and figging, from Spanky Loves Kallisto Once I was already well warmed up, we got to the ginger. I think I was a bit tense, with everything going on. It wasn’t quite as comfortable–if you can really use that word when talking about figging?–as last time. It was still really good though; there is nothing quite like that tingling burn. We did also cut a little piece that I held by my clit, and that was really good. It creates a warm burn that seems to intensify everything else. Between a warm and stinging bottom, and the warm burning of my clit and bottom from the ginger, things were feeling pretty hot. Then Spanky put my fav toy in back there, and ——ed my brains out, after removing the ginger–haha! And, it was sublime. Wow!

I was interested in trying figging after reading about it in another board. My GF had also heard about about it, but had no intention of letting me try it on her since an incident with tooth paste.

So I purchased a large fresh ginger root and skinned it nicely into shape using a potato peeler.

I had my GF insert it up me just before sex. Well the sex was fantastic, but the ginger up my bum did absolutely nothing. So she pulled it out.

The next day, I planted the ginger root in the garden. Within a few weeks there were stems and leaves and a lovely ginger smell.

Same here ginger roots in my rear seems to turn me on, I was able to hold for as long as 30 minutes or the effect wears down. I once extract and shred ginger root and took them as enema, golly! I love the effect! I find it very hard to hold em. Excellent when doing punishment.

When I have used the ginger root peeled it is an intense experience. I can not imagine that any damage or trauma would result. The sensations I experienced were a hot or burning feeling, it seems to subside after a bit and when I moved it around the feeling came back quickly.

Figging can be very intense depending on the size of the piece of ginger used. I had a domme that used a piece on me once while administering a spanking. At least for me it produced copious amounts of pre cum and a very intense orgasam

It's a delicilous burn and well worth trying...

At a health food store I found "extracts" of various herbs and roots. Ginger was one. I can tell you that a small amount goes a long way in an enema. Start with 1.0 ml, an eye dropper full per 2 quarts. It is very intense as an enema. Don't over do it.

You can find ginger in the vegetable section of your local grocer. It looks kinda like a hand. It should have fingers on it and some skin that resembles bark without the hard parts. You trim the skin off the fingers and shape them into a plug form, then insert it into the vagina or anus. Then you take a spanking. The ginger stings and makes you want to relax your muscles while the spanking makes you want to tighten those same muscles.

OH MAN what a rush!

You will LOVE it! Ginger play (figging) is VERY warm! Have fun. W

The better the quality of the ginger the longer it will last..

I will have to get my favorite lady to try this on me the next time we get to play. She has told me about this but we haven't had a chance to get to this play yet. Looking forward to surrendering my butt to her ginger root.

The key to using the ginger is NOT to use any lube..only water. Lube creates a barrier that won't let the ginger oil thru. Take your time and insert slowly..its a somewhat of a 'controlled' burn in the fact it will reach its peak within a few minutes and maintain but the burning will subside very soon after removal with little residual effect.

I was 'figged' for the first time during an encounter with a very skilled Contract Disciplinarian. I had never heard of this practice before and would have been quite hesitant, except that I was securely bound and ball-gagged. At first I felt nothing, then the heat began. I couldn't complain, but my squirming brought me nothing but a severe strapping and, as mentioned earlier in this thread, any tendency to "clinch" intensifies the suffering. Ultimately, the burning sensation from the figging was unberable... much worse than the leather strap. I was sincerely in tears when the whole thing was over. This was true punishment, perhaps more than called for with respect to the issues I had sought help for.

Here, ginger root is in the veggie section of the grocery store. Assuming it would be the same there? Very exciting, especially if you're restrained and someone is putting it in you, and making you squirm a bit.

I do it occasionally. The burning sensation is not as intense as many put it up to be. Still, a stimulating feeling...

The longer it ages the stronger it gets so let it set on the counter for 2 to 4 weeks and you will notice a difference, do not use lube to insert. It varies also, some just don't seem have the kick that others do. I know the last one Miss used on me was very intense and I almost had to beg to get it removed. We have used fresh ginger and that just gives an interesting mild feeling compared to aged.

Once carved a ginger root into the form of a butt plug. Administered it to a female lawyer after an initial enema. She danced around the room for some time before expelling. Quite the sight!!! 😎

Just wish I could give one to Nancy Pelosi!! 😶

Also if you scrape, not peel, it tends to make it juicier(ruptures more cells).

It seems to be very very hot! I wonder where I can find ginger root in Portugal!

well tanya I'm sure you already find out by this time but you really Can find it almost every grocery and supermarket it's called "gengibre" in portuguese. It is also supposed to have aphrodisiacs propreties.

By the way, interesting That figging stuff...

Witchy -

They are easy to make. Just get a large sprig of ginger root and wittle it into the form of a butt plug. Let it sit around for 7-10 days to increase the intensity of the ginger. Use minimal, if any, lube prior to insertion.

TRUST me.... they are FANTASTIC!!

I've done it many times to myself (can't find a playmate 😳)

Based on my own experience and what I have read of other's experiences, here are my thoughts:

#1. Some roots are much more potent than others. Maybe this is due to age or variety or both. The ones I have gotten have been killer potent.

#2. Some people are more sensative to it than others. I find it to be an incredibly intense burn.

#3. Shoving it up into your rectum is counter productive. It needs to be just inside or at the sphincter like a butt plug.

The first time I tried it, I peeled the root and shaped it into a plug. I didn't wash it and I inserted it without lube. At first it felt cold (fresh from the refrigerator) and then it began to warm up. The heat intensified until it burned so badly that it made me a little nauseous. I removed it at that point and the burning slowly abated. Since then, I have held a piece long enough that the burning naturally fades to a simmer.

I can't fucking wait to get back to the grocery store and I would love to try this with a sub.

Ok ~ Ssssoooo, a woman friend tells me about figging one day, and I want to know more. Completed a due diligence of sorts researching online, and went to the grocery store to make the purchase. Typically, I will not do to another, that which I've not experienced myself. My research provided all of the information that I thought needed for my exploration, so I washed it, trimmed it to size, washed it again, and then inserted.

Twas not the experience I expected; there was not a lot of sensation. It naturally departed my anatomy after a while when I figured not much was going to happen. But, then, the aftermath stayed with me for 5 to 8 days. No permanent damage, but figging is not something I would do again personally, much less share with another person.

Check it out and make certain that you know everything you need to know b4 sticking that particular piece of a foreign object through your anus, or that of a friend, and into a healthy rectum...

You are absolutely right about testing things out on yourself before foisting them on others.

Regarding your bad ginger experience, have you ever had an allergic or unusual reaction when eating it? Have you ever eaten ginger? You could also have had a contact dermatitis in your anal area.

Before pushing something into someone's butt, people should at least know if the person is allergic or somehow sensitized to the substance.

Thank you for your kind thought...

SS asked,

Regarding your bad ginger experience, have you ever had an allergic or unusual reaction when eating it?

No; ginger is used in a variety of dishes.

Have you ever eaten ginger?

No; it's not something that I would necessarily snack on.

You could also have had a contact dermatitis in your anal area.

Yes, I suppose that could have been possible. May I call upon you as my physician for a diagnosis, if 'it' ever occurs again?

. . . . "You could also have had a contact dermatitis in your anal area."

Absolutely, just bring a full tube of KY and be prepared for deep exploration of the area. 😁 😁
