 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.
