If you are anything like us, then you will have read the new 50 Shades of Grey<\/em> instalment Grey<\/em> by now and there may have been a small excerpt that made you pause.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about the errant fantasy that Mr Grey has in which Ana Steele is bent over with a peeled ginger root being used as a butt plug.<\/p>\n

\"CHx4wsTWUAA-D9X\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though it seemed to catch a lot of people off guard, this practice of using ginger during a spanking session is in fact an established activity called Figging, usually used as a form of punishment during a BDSM scene.<\/p>\n

\"giphy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…I know right. But some people love it.<\/p>\n

The ginger root is peeled, shaped into the classic butt plug shaped with a flared base so you don\u2019t lose it mid play and inserted into the ass. It will them begin to aggravate the sensitive skin and create a burning sensation.<\/p>\n

\"peeled-ginger\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This heightens the submissive’s awareness, makes them all twitchy and hot and will add a whole new element of pain and pleasure to the sexual experience.<\/p>\n

…OK so it’s not for everyone.<\/p>\n

But for those who are intrigued by this spicy fetish…<\/p>\n

\"kristen-stewart-lip-bite\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…make sure to remember a few things first.<\/p>\n

Keep the root flared at the base for safety and shallowly inserted, especially if it\u2019s your first time experiencing this unique sensation. With those few things checked off your list, then all that is left for you to enjoy yourself!<\/p>\n

Happy Figging Everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
