A Dominatrix Experiments With Figging
Agnes Teesdale wrote an article for the SF Weekly called BDSM 101: Figging, or You’ll Never Look At Ginger The Same Way Again. In it she says in part:
[W]hen I first heard about figging, a now somewhat popular BDSM practice that involves ginger used as a buttplug…I became fascinated with what sort of sensations raw ginger exposed to such a sensitive area could create. Since I am a dominatrix, getting a willing partner was as easy as blogging about my new interest.
…
I carved my ginger in my dungeon, smoothing out its edges and leaving a solid base so that it wouldn’t disappear up my slave’s ass. After dipping it in cool water, I inserted it and waited for the burn. It was delightful. Or at least, I found his noises delightful. Having never played with this toy before, I stuck to my Victorian erotic classic: I gave him a good spanking and that was that.
