I'm feeling pretty anal today
Today is a banner day! Is it because of the DNC? HELL NO! It is due to the fact that I learned something new! I had a customer come into Eros and inquire about something I knew absolutely NOTHING about. That something is called "Figging." All that I knew was that it involved assplay. Who did I run to when posed with such a quandry?
I'll tell you who!!!
TRISTAN TAORMINO! That's who!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting the anal expert, herself, when she came to Eros to do a reading from her latest book, "The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women." She was very charming and informative. I can't say enough good things about Tristan. She's a class act all the way and I'm glad to have met her. I'm also grateful as hell to her for giving me a copy of her "Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex" video. I was new to the scene and I learned quite a bit from it. If you haven't seen it, get it! It not only gives you a lot of information, but it entertains you, as well. It is no wonder that it won so many awards.
I digress...
Back to this "figging" issue. I needed to get the lowdown on figging. Luckily, so did someone else because Tristan had just recently addressed it on her site, puckerup.com. Here is what she had to say about it:
"For readers who may not know what it is, let me begin with a definition. Rumored to have been practiced as early as the Victorian era (they were so kinky!), figging involves sticking a ginger root up someone's (or your own) ass, and most people I know do it in the context of a BDSM scene. The idea is that the ginger illicits an intense, long- lasting burning sensation in the sensitive, delicate tissue of the rectum. I've heard of some Dominants who insert the root into a submissive's ass before a spanking, paddling, or caning. The longer the root is inside the butt, and the more blood that rushes to the area, the stronger the burning. Plus, any kind of movement---including clenching the sphincter muscles---increases the fiery feeling. This is not an activity for anal play novices or people with extra-sensitive behinds. I consider it an internal form of genitorture; if your bottom enjoys sensation play like ice cubes or metholated sports creams on her pussy lips or her anus, figging takes this "torture" one step further. Plus, you should not use creams like Ben Gay or Icy Hot inside the pussy or ass. While some bottoms say that figging feels warm and tingly like the creams, most report that the sensation is ten times more intense. There are a few safety tips that go along with this practice. You should begin with a fresh, whole ginger piece (also called a hand), and peel off the brown rough skin before slicing a "finger" to use for penetration. Because it obviously does not have a flared base (and therefore could get lost in the ass), select the largest piece you can find, and either carve out your own shape with a base or attach a string to it in order to make it easy to retrieve. After handling a peeled root, you shouldn't touch your eyes or your slave's eyes. Some figging fans say that lube can seal in the moisture and prevent it from releasing, thereby defeating the purpose, but you know my stance on lube: you need it! Other than those precautions, as with all perverted activities,use your common sense."
WOAH! We may not sell ginger root, but we have many other toys for your anal pleasure:
First off, I just have to tell you about the Colt line of toys. They are some of the best new anal toys to come out. They are made of a high grade rubber that is non porous and hygienically superior. They have a great feel and they are easy to clean. They look good too.
Here are a few favorites that have been flying out of the shop:
The Colt 10" Explorer
The Colt Ass Stuffer
I can't let Colt get all of the attention. This lovely vibrator is the not too distant cousin of the Bling Bling vibe. The Vibrating Anal Popper has the same slick glass look with the jelly feel. It's one of our new favorites!
Speaking of asses...
I should get mine back to work!
