Is there a lack of spice in sex life? More and more couples are now using ginger in bed. He makes sure that the act gets hot. Is it dangerous?
That people reach for vegetables during sex is nothing new. Cucumber, zucchini, carrot – what is phallic is converted into a sex toy. Currently, however, many couples have come to ginger. The abundantly misshapen tuber with the rough surface is supposed to ensure sharpness during lovemaking in the truest sense of the word. This sex trend is called figging – and it’s not without it.
Figging, which means something like fueling, originally comes from the BDSM scene. So the sexual variety in which bondage games, dominance and submission as well as (pleasurable) pain play a major role. In BDSM, figging is often used as a means of punishment. But even couples who tend to belong to the vanilla category are increasingly bringing ginger into their bedroom. Behind it lies the allure of pain.

In figging, the ginger is inserted into the vagina or anus. For this purpose, the tuber is first cut into shape. The ingredients of the ginger provide the special kick. If these come into contact with the mucous membranes, they ensure increased blood circulation, heat development and trigger the pleasure pain. The corresponding places are not violated. The effect, however, is said to prolong the man’s erection and intensify the orgasm.
But it’s also a game with pain. Once the mucous membranes have come into contact with the essential oils, the substances take effect. The effect lasts even if the tuber is removed immediately. And that for about 30 minutes. A careful approach to this sexual practice is therefore recommended. It is also important to remember that intensity is related to the freshness of the ginger. The fresher the tuber, the more powerful the oils in it. Basically, only peeled pieces of ginger should be inserted and never switched between the vagina and anus. If you don’t want to try the tuber, you can also experiment with powder or ginger juice.
