First attempts at figging (shoving a ginger root up the submissive's ass)

Saint and I have been playing for about two months now, and I keep comming up with new things I want to do with him. About a week ago, I tried figging for the first time.

For those who don't know, figging is the practice of placing a prepared ginger root into a body orifice, with the intention of causing an interesting sensation. Most commonly into the ass like a small butt plug, though I've read about it being pushed into the vagina and even into the uretra. The descriptions I've read vary from "mild tingling sensation" to "felt like my ass was being poked with a burning torch", so I had no idea how Saint would react. As it turns out, he was more in the "burning torch" cathegory.

He'd gotten fairly used to things being shoved up his ass already, as I finger him and fuck him with my strap-on regularly. However, he was prepared for the ginger being more painful than just a regular finger. When I first put it into him, he was thus fairly nervous and clenched up. As it turns out, clenching makes it hurt more. That made him tense up even more, and what we had was a vicious circle.

I took it out after a minute or two, but he kept complaining that his ass really, really hurt for several minutes after that. It kind of freaked me out, as I didn't feel in control of the process. I'd never read anything about any product that would lessen the stinging sensation, but I used some basic deduction and got lucky:

The burn in your mouth after eating spicy food (and ginger is basically a spicy food product, and the inside of the ass is comparable to the inside of the mouth) can be reduced by drinking something containing oil/fat (like tea or a milk-product). I know it's got something to do with the burning spice being oily in the first place, and you remove like with like (which is why you need soap, which is fatty, to remove grease from your fingers, whilst mud can be removed with just enough water). Now, I'm not a chemist, so I don't know the details here, or even if my understanding is right... So don't take my word on it. If you want to try this at home, please do your own research.

Anyway, I quickly took some regular vegetable oil, lubed up my hand and used my fingers to rub oil into his ass. It seemed to help conciderably, and the burning sensation went down to a tolerable level.

After cooling down and talking about it, I whiped away most of the oil and we tried again. This time, he was more prepared for what was coming and managed to relax more. Relaxing, plus the remainder of the oil, made the burning more bareable. The pain level kept going up for the first three-five minutes, and then staying at that level for as long as I kept the root in (13 minutes in total). For the final five minutes, as he seemed fairly in control of himself and more comfortable with the process (though still in conciderable pain), I tried wiggling the root around, slapping his butt and generally trying to see if I could make the root hurt more. Like before, it hurt the most when he clenched his muscles, but he was prepared for it and able to bare it. Still, it was very painful, and he was close to tears several times.

Figging is truly painful, at least for Saint, and in my opinion not something to be done for a lark or as an element of light and fun play. We will probably try again though, because I enjoy hurting him. Next time it will be with a slimmer and longer piece of root, but with the ful understanding that this is ment to hurt. Of course, there's something so lovely in having a guy lie down and give himself over to you in such a way. Especially when he knows how much it will hurt, and how little enjoyment he will get from it. The fact that he willingly submits to it anyway, because he know you take pleasure from his pain... That is just amazing, and fills me with such gratitude. :)
