I had to do an assignment on Figging and figured you might like to read:

The most well known informative on the use of ginger root, or as it is referred to as the art of figging most of the articles are writen by Master Michael. Even those that have writen other articles end up parapharse from Master Michael as well as most of the sources used would show.
Though there is much say about how figging actually started however it is dated back into the Victorian era. One of the statements I like is "Back in those days, the Victorians were a fairly bawdy, perverted, kinky bunch behind closed doors." The main use was at first to use the ginger root to stop clenching the buttocks during a caning punishment. If the punishee where to clench their buttocks while the ginger root was inserted it would cause a burning feeling.
Now onto the how to:
First and for most! Make sure that your or your partner is not allergic to ginger. This would not make for a very good situtation. Master Michael again states in one of the articles about, "if by some chance the ginger breaks off in your sub's butt and you can't retrieve it, don't bother with emergency rooms. They will only cause you a hassle." For this may actually acure I have not read what to do though would imagine the sub would release it the next time they use the bathroom. With this however I will stick in some of my own idea's of what can be done. A little bit on Ginger Root itself taken from [http://www.allnatural.net/herbpages/ginger.shtml] mostly in the caution section. Do not use ginger root with gall bladder disease without knowing from a Doctor what could happen. If pregant again be sure the dosage and if using ginger is even in question.
When you select a ginger root it is called a hand be sure to buy the largest hand you and find Before you use the hand make sure to keep it in a cool dry place unless you want to "turbocharge" your ginger root which would come into play after you make your first cut into the root anyhow. Never store the ginger for long periods of time unprotected. It will take away from the potency that is looked for. To keep the ginger safe store it in a sealed plastic bag in your refrigerator. Mold is a good thing when you are wanting to charge the ginger root since no matter which the process in prepairing the ginger for play is the same. One can always add a mind-fuck to the experience by watching the whole prepairing process. Or worse, maybe make them prepair the root themselves.
To prepare the ginger root, each hand has what is called "fingers" coming out from the middle section. When looking at these fingers you want to make sure it is no less then 4 inches long. Do not cut the finger at the joint of the hand. Make the cut by cutting down into the falm of the hand to go with the uniform width of the finger. Using a peeler, peel the brown skin off the root without removing too much of the meat. Rinsing it under water while peeling will help remove the pieces of skin as you work toward a smooth finish. Meaning no bumps or knots! Be sure to round the tip of the finger as well.
After skinning the ginger root about two thirds of the way down the root take a paring knife and make a concavity around the finger, not tapering it to the end of the finger. Be sure to make only make this indentation no more then half of an inch wide. With doing this it will act like how a butt plug is used with the sphincter tightening around the concaved part. Do Not! Make the concaved part to tiny that it would weaken the finger. This would almost insure that the inserted end slips in further as the end breaks off. Now I've played around some thoughts about tying a string for such cases. The string would wrap around the concaved section then if lost could be pulled out by the string. My other thought would be taking a small drill head make a hole within the ginger root and threading string. Wrap it around the ginger then tie the string off.
Do Not use lubricatn for it acts like a sealant and you loose all that work you just did. Instead dip the finger in cold water and slowly insert the finger into the anus. Be sure to take your time! Its just like a butt plug. Once in ginger takes a little time to work its magic. Do Not wipe your eyes or your partners eyes. Go wash your hands! Then you can watch the show. Or to increase the effects you can pinch the buttocks together, holding them together for a few minutes. Letting them feel the burn! The effects last about twenty minutes depending on the potency, but quickly diminishes afterwards. Then remove the ginger and go on about your business.
Another delicious thing to do would be to take a sliver of ginger making sure one side is flat. Placing this side down onto the clit, some would be able to keep it there themselves others being held. Placed with the ginger root butt plug it would surely send the sences into overdrive.
Master Michael states as well that though he does not know why but ginger causes like an aphrodisiac effect as well. This whole process gives a burn much like Ben Gay, or thats as close as it could be described and each person reacts differently.
If using for CBT, julienne a slice about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide and at the least one inch long. Be sure it is smooth and the edges are rounded. Dipping the ginger in cold water and inserting it into the urethra. Leaving enough sticking out to remove it as well. The effects here are rather quickly, if it is too much remove the ginger and give a minute. The burning drops quickly. Then can always place the ginger back in and resume. The sensation eventually will wear off. Now I did not find anything on if this type of insertion could also go over to inserting into a female the same way. It surely gives one to think about and perhaps to do more research.
