Ginger anyone?

(Note: Seriously guys, none of these links are safe for work or opening around your children or minister. Priests, on the other hand, should be ok, ‘cause I get the feeling this was created by Catholics.)

Imagine this: It’s my day off, and I’m messin’ around on the internet. When all of a sudden I innocently click on a link that takes me to this site.

Before I found this site, I honestly thought I had a well rounded knowledge off all sexual practices. Boy, was I wrong! For all of you who are like me and have never heard of Figging before, here's what trusty Wikipedia has to say on the subject:

Figging is a sexual practice involving the insertion of a prepared "finger" of ginger root or even a chile pepper into the anus. The burning sensation is said to induce intense pleasure. The technique is used by some practitioners of BDSM. Ginger may enhance sexual pleasure by increasing blood flow to the genitals. The genital muscles, supplied with more energy, can produce especially powerful orgasms.

Wikipedia goes on to state: The practice is sometimes said to have originated in a preparation technique for show horses, where an irritating "fig" would be inserted into their anus to induce them to hold their tail high. (Ok, seriously, What kind of person, while shoving a “fig” up a horses ass, thinks to himself; “I wonder what would happen if I shoved this up my girlfriends ass?”)


I’m still a little shocked that I’d never head of this and I’m sure I will be a little weirded out (yeah, I get that weirded is not really a word. Bite.me.) until I get used to the thought of it, but far be it for me to have a problem with something that gives you “especially powerful orgasms”. In fact, I could use a few especially powerful orgasms myself... ;)
