figging
practice of inserting a piece of skinned ginger root into the human anus or the vagina
Figging is a BDSM and kink practice that involves inserting a piece of skinned and often-times peeled ginger root into the anal or vaginal cavity of another person. This can be done for various reasons such as sensation play, stimulation, punishment, humiliation, and other power dynamics between partners. Figging usually produces a strong burning sensation due to the natural capsaicin present in ginger, which can cause intense discomfort and even pain depending on the length and thickness of the root piece used, the individual's tolerance levels, and how it is manipulated during play. It should always be carried out consensually, with clear communication about boundaries and agreed-upon limits set beforehand.
