Ginger punishment

Ginger for Punishment or Punishment enhancement (also known as figging)

While there is still controversy as to the origins and reasons to figging, it is fairly well agreed upon that it dates back to the Victorian era. Caning, a very popular form of punishment for hundreds of years was elevated to an art form itself during that time. There is evidence that figging actually had it’s beginnings during that era as ginger was used in a caning or spanking, put into the male anus to prevent clenching the buttocks during punishment. Clenching reduces the effects/pain he experiences when spanked. However, clenching of his butt while ginger has been inserted causes a very intense burning sensation that keeps getting worse the longer you clench. Even with out clenching, the ginger causes an uncomfortable burning that gets worse and worse the longer it's left in. This results in the male submissive to endure the full aspect of pain from the spanking or caning, but also the burning sensation of the ginger in between spankings.

Ginger, in its natural state is sold and called a "hand", it’s called a hand because it somewhat resembles one. The protuberances from the hand are called fingers. It is these fingers that will be used to bring undeniable submission and probably even tears from your male submissive. Unfortunately, many supermarkets now precut the hand into fingers and package them as convenience. Try avoiding anything precut less than 4 inches, unless you’ve had enough experience to safely play with small fingers. Find a place that sells a full hand. If the supermarket doesn’t have any, try a different one or visit any oriental grocery store. Buy the largest hand you can find and scurry it home. Keep the entire hand in a cool dry place until you are ready to use it. The sooner you use it, the better the effect will be unless you age it properly which I’ll get to later.

Cut a finger of ginger from the hand. Unless the fingers are very long, do not cut the finger off at the joint of the hand. Remove the finger by cutting down into the palm of the hand so that you get a long, uniform width finger. Use a finger no smaller than 4 inches. Longer is better. Take a paring knife or vegetable peeler and remove the brown skin. Make sure all the skin is off as well as insuring that all the bumps and knots are cut off and smoothed as well. Try not to remove too much meat underneath the brown skin, as you want to retain as full a finger as possible for thickness and the juices are best in the meatier part.

Take your time and don’t rush this step. As you work, rinse it under cold water periodically to help wash away pieces of skin. Ginger is fibrous and sometimes takes a little time to prepare properly. If you’re into oriental cooking, you’ll love the delicate ginger aroma that is released as you do this step. The smell is a great stimulus for the submissive male as well while he is tied down, and it is brought into the room and placed on a table or bed near him, just before insertion. It heralds things ahead, especially once he becomes to recognize and associate the smell with his punishment.

After you have the skinned root all nice and smooth, you now have to perform the tricky bit. With the paring knife, a little over two-thirds of the way down, carve a concavity around the finger. This will act as a retention device to keep the root from falling in his anus, just like a butt plug. use the picture above as an example.

Make the ring no more than a half-inch wide. Remember; do not taper the finger all the way down to the end. You want full circumference of the finger two-thirds of the way down, a half-inch retention ring and then full circumference continuing down to the end of the finger, like the picture above. Do not carve out too much however, as this will weaken the finger and increase the possibility of breaking it while incerting it in the submissive male. You don’t need a very deep ring for retention.

After you have carefully completed this step, rinse the finger off and dip it in cold water. Make sure the tip of the finger is sufficiently rounded, use a knife or a peeler to accomplish this. Now it’s ready to insert. Unlike your own finger, you *do not use lube* with a ginger finger. Lubricant acts as a sealant and prevents the ginger moisture from releasing which will hinder the burning sensation he feels. Instead, use the cold water to keep the finger wet. Slowly insert the finger into the submissive male’s anus. Don’t rush at this point. Take your time. Wet ginger is slick enough to slide in with care. When the anus finally opens and accepts the ginger, slide it in up to the ring and let the submissive male close around it. The beauty of ginger is that it takes a little while for the effects to take place so give it about 5-10 min before you start using your cane. This gives you time for stern taunting, humiliation, and other preparation for training or punishments like nipple clamps or ball stretcher etc.. Once it begins, it builds steadily. Directly after insertion and before the fun begins, go wash your hands. You don’t want to touch your eyes or your submissive male’s eyes by accident with ginger on your hands.

After a few min or so you should hear a change taking place from your sub, soft words, a discomforting low moan but that's not what your waiting for, give it a bit more time. Soon the burning will intensify and that moan will be louder and the begging to pull out the ginger will follow and that's your cue its time to begin caning. now its time enjoy your work. Or, as the Victorians did, start your caning or leather strapping. Most submissive males will become rather vocal as the ginger works its magic. Depending on the fortitude of the submissive male, the potency of the ginger and the mental attitude you projected will give you a variety of reactions. Most submissive males report that the effects were far greater than they imagined.

To increase the effect, squeeze your submissive male’s buttocks together and hold them for a minute or two. This causes a big boost in burning sensation and if done every so often, keeps your submissive male in better agony. The effects of the ginger will last approximately twenty minutes or so, after which, the effects diminish rapidly.

The nice thing about ginger is that no matter how intense the effect on the submissive male, you won’t hurt him and it is short-lived. Once the sensation ceases, remove the ginger.

Apply ginger to the genitalia while the ginger plug is in place and watch to see if it brings him discomfort as well. I have experienced some of the most stunning results with submissive males 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. You can also just use ginger as a punishment or combined with any other punishments, just remember to secure your bitch as he will try to remove it once the burning gets rough.

"Ageing ginger" 

Using your ginger soon after you buy it will assure potency. Strong ginger, unprotected, for long periods of time will loose its “zip”. However, if you have any ginger fingers left after playtime, place it in a sealed, plastic bag and place it in the veggie bin in the refrigerator. Check on it daily until mold forms. The mold is harmless and does not penetrate the tough, fibrous skin of the root. Wash off, Peel and prepare the ginger as before and play as usual. But look out! The juice of the ginger has increased dramatically in potency. If you think you had a good time when the ginger was new, wait till you play now. Any unused ginger should be discarded after this time.

I have also heard of a cream or topping that does the opposite. When applied directly to the anus it quickly builds to a burning or stinging sensation that is eased with the clenching of the anus. I heard about it from a male Dom during a social event. He said that it is used when he fucks his male and female subs. It forces them to clench giving him a tighter, better feeling on his cock but also makes them focus on clenching which forces them to loses pleasure. I'll look into it further to find the name of this cream and post back here with the information.

ENJOY!!
