Pared finger of ginger
Figging is the practice of inserting a piece of
ginger root into the
anus or
vagina. Originally applied to horses as a form of deception as to the horse's condition, it now most commonly refers to a practice in
BDSM.
Historically, this practice, also known as
feaguing,
[1] or
gingering was used to
ginger up older horses in order to deceive the purchaser as to the age and condition of the horse, by having the animal hold its tail and head high and moving around nervously, characteristic of a younger horse.
The ginger, skinned and often carved into the shape of a
butt plug, causes an intense burning sensation and discomfort to the subject.
[2] If the
submissive tightens the muscles of the anus, the sensation becomes more intense.
[3] For this reason it is rumored to have been done to recalcitrant wives in the
Victorian age to prevent them from clenching during a spanking.
