What do 50 Shades of Grey, horses, and the ancient Greeks have in common? Keep reading, and by the time you’re finished, you’ll understand.
Ancient Cultures
We know how creative (and twisted) ancient cultures could be. They didn’t have TV or social media to vent to strangers, so they had to invent… other ways to entertain themselves.
The Greeks were the originals, obsessed with extremes, and Rome, true to form, copied everything — like eternal little copycats. Somewhere along the way, someone probably looked at the spicier practices of their neighbors and thought:
“Hmm… that’s clever. But what if we take it a notch further?”
And just like that, the idea that would later become figging started to creep into Roman “entertainment.” No one wrote down the mastermind’s name — maybe they were too busy marveling at their own creativity — but the concept of getting ginger into a hole was born.
Female slaves were punished with this activity, introducing it inside a hole, with the big question of where to put it: on her butt or her V.
The Origin of Figging
Now, normally after doing such things, society would improve… sorry, but no. The name figging comes from feague, which means putting something inside a horse’s ass to cheer it up — something like ginger or horseradish — and if the horse was particularly lacking in spirit, some of them used live eels. Why not?.
After this hilarious history class, figging made its grand entrance into the BDSM world. What was once a “motivational” trick for horses and a brutal punishment for slaves became a tool for humans to explore sensations that are… let’s say, intense and fiery.
Now you know what to try with your partner when you are lack of creativity.
