Okay, let’s talk about this whole “bdsm ginger” thing, or as some folks call it, “figging.” I recently tried this out, and boy, was it a ride. I’d heard about it for a while—sticking a piece of peeled ginger up your butt to get a burning sensation. Sounds wild, right? Historically, it was some kind of punishment, but now it’s a kink thing.

So, I decided to give it a shot. First, I did a bit of research, because you don’t just jump into something like this blind. I read a few guides and watched some videos—nothing too crazy, just enough to get an idea of what to expect and how to do it safely. Planning is key in BDSM, you know? You gotta make sure everyone’s on the same page and knows what’s up.
Getting Ready
First off, I talked to my partner about it. Consent is super important, and we both were curious, so that was a good start. We set a date and talked about our limits, safe words, and all that jazz. We decided to make it a whole evening thing, not just a quick experiment.
The day came, and I started by prepping the ginger. I picked up a nice, fresh piece from the store, peeled it, and cut it into a manageable size. Some people say to soak it in warm water first, but I skipped that part—I wanted the full effect.
Setting the Mood
We made sure the room was comfortable. We put on some music—nothing too distracting, just something to set a chill vibe. Dimmed the lights a bit, too. Setting the scene is important; it helps you get into the right headspace.
The Main Event
We started slow. Some kissing, a bit of touching, just to get warmed up. Foreplay is crucial, especially when you’re about to do something intense. Once we were both feeling it, I grabbed the ginger and some lube. I took a deep breath, and well, in it went.

- The Sensation: At first, it was just a bit uncomfortable, but then the burning started. It wasn’t painful, exactly, but it was definitely intense. It’s a weird feeling—like a slow burn that spreads.
- My Partner’s Role: They were there the whole time, holding my hand, whispering encouragement, making sure I was okay. It felt good to have that support.
- The Climax: The burning sensation built up over time. We kept going for about 15-20 minutes. It got pretty intense, and I have to say, it led to one of the most powerful orgasms I’ve ever had.
Aftercare
Once we were done, we took some time to just lie there, cuddling and talking. Aftercare is super important in BDSM. It helps you process what just happened and reconnect with your partner. We talked about how we felt, what we liked, and what we might do differently next time.
All in all, it was a wild experience. Definitely not something I’d do every day, but it was interesting to explore. If you’re curious about figging or any other BDSM activity, my advice is to do your research, talk to your partner, and take it slow. And always, always prioritize safety and consent.
It is just a sharing of my experience. I think everyone should try it at least once if they are into it.
