Gingerotica
Consult your herbals, ladies and gentlemen! Is it true that ginger is an aphrodisiac?
Buried in the links in a couple of recent posts over at Spanking Blog (where the discussion focuses on the painful effects of ginger when used in BDSM play) comes this startling assertion in an article called Figging: The Art of Anal Ginger Root Play:
Ginger also has a property that puts it far ahead of any ginger substitutes. So it is said, the juice of the root has the ability to cause incredible sexual desires. I have had subs begin to sob, begging to have something inserted into their female opening and to have orgasm. The reaction is tenfold if the ginger juice comes in contact with the clitoris. Cut a small slice of ginger, making sure it has one flat side. Place this side directly onto the clitoris and hold it there. Depending on anatomy, some women will be able to retain the slice on their own without assistance.
Apply ginger to the genitalia while the ginger plug is in place and watch to see if it brings the pleasure you both seek. I have experienced some of the most stunning results with submissives using this technique. I don’t have a perfect scientific explanation as to why ginger cause such an effect but suffices to say it works.
Update: Intrepid experimenters, check Figging.com for your instructions, then experiment and (please!) report back.

I said it before and I’ll say it again… Ginger play is much fun especially for those of us with masochistic tendencies :)
Any ideas about pickled ginger? My wife & I have experemented used the uber-stong mint “breath strips” before (when they get wet they stick on skin like a sticker).
Amen Chelle…LOVE it!! puurrrrrrr!!!
Didn’t know playing with ginger plugs was called “figging” when I read about it in some forgotten book fifteen years ago. Rather than a “retention ring,” which seems to represent some risk, we wove a withdrawal string through the center. Indeed, much fun… certainly raises the temperature of the sphincter to a range best described as “boiling” causing hips to thrust frantically and involuntarily to aid in cooling.
