The effect should differ a little for men and women. For men, this sensation might offer stimulation to the prostate as well, giving an extra intense sexual arousement (anal orgasm).

I'm not gay and seriously, stuffing something up my arse is not my cup of tea :hmm:

Dunno if any one brought this up yet, but there are times when you take a dump that has the same burning feeling in your a-hole. Or is that just me? :hmm:

you eat spicy food the day before? :lol:


least thats what does it for me...

Oh man.. habanero peppers in the ass...

habanero peppers! Ack!

Well I guess if he likes it it's fine. I know I wouldn't do it. I mean, it's not as bad as the people who stick animals up there...*shudders*

Why are people always against shoving things in their (male) ass because that's gay? Your asshole is not a homosexual organ, nor does doing things to it make you gay. Sheesh.

People against shoving things where poop comes out of? That's where I'm at. :)

I'm personally not agaisnt shaving things up there, whether we're talking about the "gay" or "poop" issue. after all, babies come out of vaginas. you vomit out your mouth(I know these aren't the same, but still)...you ejaculate with the same orifice from which you pee. I like having multiple uses for things.

Call me crazy but I have something against shoving food products in my ass...

Hehehe... i'm suddenly reminded of that one episode of South Park :lol:

I've tried figging... Its all right, not something I'd do a lot, and not something that has a particular sexual response from me... but then again, its always been part of a D/s relationship, and something that was done to heighten sensation during play.

Vicks' VapoRub on a butt plug is another extremely intense method of getting a similar reaction... About the time the burning starts to fade into a pleasurable heat, a strike on the ass can rev it up again. Its, um, intense.

Martel really, really liked it when we did it. I put a little piece of ginger on my clit and it produced a *very* intense sort of heat- like having a bunch of blood rushing to my clit at once. I can totally see where people would really like it, and I definitely want to try it again :)

Sage, I think a piece on the clit would be pleasurable, but man, in the ass was not comfortable.

That sounds... interesting. Any masochists out there tried anal sex shortly afterwards?

heh, i'll have to try doing that sometime. :o sounds interesting.

Never tried it and I don't think I'd ever want to try it either...

First of all, I think it is not recommended to insert foodstuff in the anus. Second, the lining of the anal canal is very delicate so it definitely would cause painful irritation. Third, why a ginger root, of all things?


To all my fellow TFP members out there who enjoy anal play, stick to dildoes, anal beads, fingers, and penises when it comes to anal insertions---don't shove foodstuffs in there.

Figging/ Ginger is not just for the back door. Master uses it regularly with me... and it has proven to be delightful. The Ginger when peeled gives off an irritating oil. The oil can be mildly warm to hot. I have never had a reaction and have found ginger to be safe on many who I have shared it with. It can be used traditionally as a peeled insertion of a finger from a ginger "hand"... or it can be minced and put in a fine mesh bag with a bit of water and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours prior to insertion. This seems to enhance the oils and give a delightful result. We have used it as a match stick up Master's urethra, and also inserted against my clit and in my vagina. Please don't write off this wonder just because anal may not be your bag.

It actually became popular in Victorian times. A misbehaving servant or wench had the fig inserted into her rectum before being spanked. Every time the hand or paddle came down the natural reaction is to clinch. That helps milk the oil from the ginger and increases the "burn".

LovrofLife2b... that's one hell of a first post, even for the TFP. Quite informative. :)

You have no idea how many times I said, "Oh, God, OW!!" just reading this post....

BTW, while it's not the method I would use, liquid can enter your bloodstream through the thin layers of tissue in the anus; since ginger root is a powerful immune enhancer, so "figging" might actually help you fight off colds. Raw ginger juice can be rather irritating, so I think I'll stick with drinking ginger tea....

Funnily enough, the usual herbal remedy for soothing too much ginger ingestion is the juice of cucumber. But I'm damned if I'm going even consider that anywhere near my ass....

I'm going to try that :) I like spicy food and spicy sex

According to Wikipedia:

"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."

At first I have to admit I was confused to why anyone would think of shoving peeled ginger up someones rear, but after reading the above it all made sense.

Figging....or "How to enjoy being a Pain in the Ass!
 

I have been doing this for about 8 years. My sub/wife enjoys it immensly! I have given "Demo's" at play parties, and always have several come and ask Me to do it to them. Results can depend on pain tolerance levels of the individuals. Some like it very much, and some think it is more a "punishment" than a pleasant "warm up" for a great session. The preparation of the Ginger is most important! Some say to wash the root while peeling it. I have found that this can wash away the juices and make it less intense(pehaps good for an initial session). Storing the remaining root for another session must be done in a certain way, or it will lose potency. It is best done by placing it in a sealed baggie, and waiting until it becomes moist looking, sometimes with a bit of mold, This mold is not important, as you peel it before using. My wife reported that the intensity was quite magnified this way.
BDSM BEAR

In my opinion this falls into the Seemingly Harmless, Possibly Worth a Try category. I wouldn't discount something too quickly. At least you can't deny it would be hot?

I find that intense prostate stimulation, which can be incredibly pleasureable, sometimes will make me go flacid, & cause my balls to pull into body. Lighter stimulation will intensify my erection.

The strangest sensation that I had was when my wife pushed (think ringing a doorbell) my prostate; it felt as though she was pushing a pencil up through my cock. I don't know what my balls were doing, but I had one hell of an erection!

I can see us buying some fresh ginger root this weekend.

No...never tried it. It sounds painful...

Am I the only one imagining cartoon-like images about this?

If you draw some please post them :thumbsup:!

I am a masochist but would never try this :)

Geez, the things people think of.

The Ginger thing made wonder about other produce that could be fashioned into a stimulating butt plug. Avacado's and Pears - too soft. Thought of corn on the cob... but then re-thought that we really don't need a permament easy acess hole for our doctor's hand when getting a prostate exam. Celery.... make sure u keep the leafy side out... otherwise could give a whole new meaning to the "Tossing your salad" phrase. Radishes ... hmm, make sure to thread a good safety fish line through them in case the stalk breaks off. Oh yeah... don't even try a big jalepeno! (Not that I have any personal expierence with any of these)

Ginger root up the ass

why cartoon when you can see it with people?

Um...no. The pathway of putting things that are not a buttplug in your ass is eventually going to lead to a "I slipped and fell" ER visit. Be safe, guys.

hahaha EXACTLY what I thought. Though, I always thought that song sounded perverted before, but now, even more so....

never even heard of this. crazy. i tend to stay away from ass play stuff though. I'm a vagina-only kind of guy.

We, me being the recipient, tried figging yesterday. I chose a curved root to match the shape of a g-spot and/or prostate toy, & peeled it as instructed in this thread (didn't rinse off the juices), exposing about 3".

To be honest I wasn't blown away. There was a very warm, but certainly not what I would call hot, sensation in my anus & rectum. Hard slaps & cheek clinching definately increased the warm sensation, but it never got intense, didn't spread to other areas of my body, & wasn't especially arrousing. We tried leaving the root in place for a while, about 7-10 minutes, but the warming sensation never reached an intense level. Trying something kinky & different was certainly stimulating, but the actual figging was a little disappointing.

Maybe I was expecting too much, or perhaps we'll need to try a different approach. I'm thinking that an enema before figging might make the membrane in the rectum more sensitive to the ginger juice, & chopped ginger in a fine mesh bag, as LovrofLife2b mentioned, would release more juice.

Some people asked about afteraffects. I found that the affects faded quickly once the root was removed, & I've had no tenderness or burning to speak of.

Would this qualify for the masturbation with veggies thread?

Oh man, I laughed til I cried reading this. Thank you all. Personally, I think ginger is for people who are too cowardly for cactus.

I've been figged once and did my partner the at same time, and we found out for her it is punishment for me uncomfortable but nice. When she's in trouble ginger comes out and goes in. :)

I read somewhere that this didn't start in victorian times but (butt) with show horses... ginger in the ass made them hold their tails up high.

[QUOTE=la petite moi;1978554]Figging is basically peeling ginger root, and sticking it into the anus to create a burning, yet supposedly arousing sensation. nwlinkvxd and I tried this yesterday with mixed results. I felt nauseous, feverish, and the burning was so intense that I felt like dying. It was not arousing at all. However, for him, it was incredibly arousing. As he said, it burned so bad that it was arousing. He was twitching and moaning and wanting to orgasm on the spot.

Could be an ideal for some kind of female viagara maybe?
I do not need "my little blue friend YET....":shakehead:
