Figging, Photography, and Condoms Made to Order

What do all these delightful items have in common? I've just found out about them and am certain that you want to know about them! They may only be related in pertaining to sex, but since when is that a bad thing? I've discovered these very fun finds and am throwing them into one news bulletin to deliver a complete dose of adult sex-ed as soon as possible, even if in one large gulp. After all, gulping is a sexual practice as well...
First things first. One of my all-time favorite adult blogs is Tell Your Sex Story, and the very lovely and personable couple behind the site are conducting their first Erotic Photography Contest. This is very exciting, not just because we turn to Tell Your Sex Story for truly beautiful and sensual imagery and stories and can expect superb quality, but because the contest ties into the much anticipated erotic photography how-to book that Sabrina and Daniel have been putting together for the education of amateur photographers, models, and lovers and professionals alike.

Your favorite WebMistress consequently put the book suggestion into their heads, I have to mention. This couple's own amateur photography is so exquisite, perfectly lighted, composed, framed, and themed... and they've offered tips for posing and taking erotic photographs in the past. A book written for all of us couples and singles who want to try our own hand at explicit photography to capture ourselves and our loved ones in the most professional and sensual manner is sorely needed... and something I know we're all going to want to have on our shelves. I'll be first in line to order the final product when Sabrina and Daniel announce its arrival.

In the meantime, the TYSS Erotic Photography Contest is your way of earning a featured spot in the upcoming book that everyone akin to sensual imagery is going to have a copy of. You could also win a featured spot, for an entire month, on Tell Your Sexy Story itself. Great exposure and such a beautiful forum for your work. Don't delay. The winners will be announced on Oct. 15th, so get your entries in (you can enter as many times as you like) asap. And don't forget to tune back into TYSS to view the delicious results of the competition!

Oh, yeah... and you could win a 1GB iPod Nano too.

scarlet magazine


Now, I know you're dying to know what this "figging" is all about. Thanks to Scarlet, the UK's sexiest women's magazine and the publication that I wouldn't dare miss receiving each month myself, I now know that... well, that figging actually exists. A sexual practice and new fad that I haven't heard of?! HOW?!?

"A History of... Figging" written by Linda McCormick and illustrated by Elita in Scarlet's August 2006 issue describes the whole thing. And it has absolutely nothing to do with fruit.

"It's an age-old sexual practice that involves the insertion of a prepared finger of raw ginger into the anus." Figging has been around for awhile but is apparently making a comeback in the BDSM scene, and I hear it's extremely pleasurable... if you're into a bit of pain.

Why ginger? It's "a natural vasodilator, which means that it opens up the blood vessels." So, blood flow is improved, which we all know helps to improve orgasms. The ginger is also responsible for a burning sensation that's supposed to be a real blast. Now, you can't just pick up ginger root in the produce section of your local grocery store and stick it up your ass... but almost.

Avoid pre-cut ginger; buy the raw, unpeeled, whole-root version. Cut off one of the fingers of the root, and peel it. Carve an indentation into its side 2/3 down, that must-have safety measure to ensure the "finger" can't be pulled, irretrievably, into the anus. Forget any lubrication because that prevents the ginger's own chemicals to be felt for that choice burning feeling. Just use cold water, and you'll be lubed enough along with the ginger's own moisture.

A bit of figging history: in the 1913 edition of Webster's, "to feague" was an obsolete term to describe the act of beating, whipping, or driving, such as the Victorian "figging" later used to describe the accepted means of disciplining children. By 1811, the dictionary of slang included, "to 'feague' a horse meant to put a ginger up its derriere. This would irritate the animal, forcing it to 'carry its tail well,' which was considered desirable during dressage shows" (Scarlet, Aug. 06, p. 48). Prior to the late 1700s, live eels were used instead of ginger...

Now, go give ginger root a try, and tell me all about your experience. The effects of the root upon insertion should last about 20 minutes, creating a different reaction in any recipient according to the potency of the root and the lover's mental attitude. Be warned though. Doctor Michelle Bodner points out that "ginger contains volatile oils that can redden and irritate the skin or tissue it is applied to... the area would continue to be irritated and red after the ginger has been removed... it would be very difficult to remove or wash off these oils" (Scarlet, Aug. 06, p.48).

lebenslust condoms made to order

Last but definitely not least, I introduce you to Lebenslust. What?? Yes, that's "Lust for Life" in English. There's no longer reason for annoying your cock or your sex life with ill-fitting condoms. Now, you can order them tailored to your specific manly measurements from a Cologne-based manufacturer.

This is also a find from my Scarlet mag, the Sep. 06 issue. These wonderful folks at Lebenslust, who are well known for high quality in many sexual aids and products, have an innovative process, which translates your personal measurements into a 3D image to produce anatomically correct condoms fitting your penis perfectly. Read about the process here. In about 3 months' time and with a minimum order of 250 at roughly $12 USD per condom, you'll have a treasured case of condoms that wouldn't fit any other man. Use them wisely.

Don't worry about losing this link in the future along with your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire condoms perfectly designed for your member. I'm adding this link to my Sexy Shopping page. This one's way too good to forget.

Figging. Good God. I am at a loss for words, almost. Even my imaginative and deviant mind never thought of sticking ginger up the rusty sheriffs badge! I will have to sink deep into my depraved mind and come up with something suitably perverse...

Hi Tara :) There is currently a study going on that one of my former professors was involved with about condoms with specific sizes. They aren't made to order but from what I know, there is an elaborate measuring system resulting in a size that men can use to order the condoms which is more specific and accurate than normal condoms (similar to bra sizes with numbers and letters, I think). Standard condoms don't fit all men (whether it's length or girth issues) and it's good to see that something is being done to account for that! It is meant to be a system where you can't tell what the size is just by looking at the size code so that men would feel comfortable buying these in a store. Anyway, it's still in study form and last I knew, the condoms were only available online or in a store in Manhattan (of course, I heard of this nearly 2 years ago so it might've changed by now). It'll be interesting to see what effect this whole movement has on using condoms as birth control and disease prevention, as men can no longer use the excuse "but condoms are too small for me!" (how's that for my first comment? hahaha)

Vasper, I couldn't agree more! It is wonderful to know that we'll never, ever run out of new experiences when it comes to sex. For this act specifically... I'm not really into burning sen...
