Figging
Figging
Figging is a practice originally used as a method of animal discipline, but has since been adopted in certain human sexual practices. The term is derived from the 18th-century practice of inserting a piece of skinned ginger root into a horse's anus to encourage it to carry its tail high. In human practices, it is used as a form of BDSM play and involves the insertion of a piece of ginger root into the anus or vagina.
Pronunciation
Figging is pronounced as /ˈfɪɡɪŋ/.
Etymology
The term "figging" comes from the 18th-century word "feaguing," which refers to the practice of inserting a piece of ginger into a horse's anus to make it carry its tail high. The word "feague" is of unknown origin, but it may be related to the German word "fegen," which means "to flog."
