This method of physical punishment was first used as a form of discipline on female slaves in Ancient Greece.^[2] ^{[irrelevant citation]} The detainee was restrained to varying degrees in order to restrict mobility while the sensation grew from uncomfortable to extreme.^[3]^[4]

Method

The ginger, which is skinned and often carved into the shape of a butt plug, causes an intense burning sensation, and often intolerable discomfort to the subject. The effect reaches climax within two to five minutes after insertion, and persists for around thirty minutes before gradually easing. The ginger, after use, can be further skinned, and used to extend the experience; each fresh application of ginger root refreshes the duration of the sensations in the subject.^[5]

If the person being figged tightens the muscles of the anus, the sensation becomes more intense.^[3] For this reason it is sometimes used in caning to penalize clenching of the buttocks. The subject must choose between bracing for the strike, at the consequence of increased burning sensation, or relaxing the buttocks and taking the full force of the blow.^[6]
