We get a lot of questions what food is safe to use as a sex toy. We already discussed toothpaste and the special effect it has on the genitals. Today we take it a step further and tell you about anal play with ginger root, or Figging.
Origin
Figging comes from the German word ‘fegen’, which means sweeping. Before people ever thought about putting ginger root inside the anus of another human, the act of figging was primarily practiced by horse traders. Whenever you place a piece of ginger root in a horse’s anus, it will rise its tail and lift its legs higher when it is trotting in the field (something that is associated with virile horses). With a mare the ginger is put in the horse’s vagina to get the same result.
Preperation?
In order to fig, you need ginger root. You can buy it at any grocery store. The piece of fresh ginger should be the size of a finger (about 10 centimeters). You can keep the fresh piece of ginger in the refrigerator.
When it’s time to use the ginger, you have to peel away the brown skin and any lumps with a vegetable peeler. It is supposed to get nice and smooth, so work accurate, because you want a nice thick piece of ginger left. When you are done, wash it under running water to get rid of the left over dirt or skin.
Then it’s time to shape the ginger root. Try carving the shape of a butt plug, by making an end that is slightly thicker than the shaft, to prevent it from sliding up the anus entirely. Don’t make notched to deep, because the ginger rot can break at that point. Make the top nice and round.
Use
Now you can insert the ginger root. Don’t use any lube. Lube will decrease the sensation. Instead, make it wet with some cold water. Because you are not using lube, be careful when you insert the root. Do it slow and controlled. And then it’s time to wait. Only after a couple of seconds, the effect starts building up. The person on the receiving end will start to notice a burning sensation, that can differ from person to person. Some compare it to using tiger balm, but some find it even stronger than that.
You can use the ginger root anally, but also vaginally or even in the urethra. The vaginal fluids will cause the effect to decrease soon. You can then increase the sensation, by washing the root and inserting it again. For the urethra, you will have to make a thin shaped root.
Think about how you can surprise your partner, by tying him/her up, bending over. Don’t say a thing. Just insert the root. Wash your hands, so that you don’t accidentally get the juices in your eyes. Sit down and wait until the burning begins. Enjoy your show!
Is it safe?
The burning sensation will stop after about 20 – 30 minutes. Unlike when you use tiger balm or toothpaste, ginger root is completely harmless. It won’t cause blisters. You can let it rest inside the submissive, because ginger will not damage anything and after 20 minutes the submissive’s misery will be over. On top of that, it will have a positive effect on the horniness of the person on the receiving end. In fact, it is a shame ginger isn’t used much more often.
