Benis
What exactly is a benis supposed to be? Two reverts have been done where the word benis was replaced. A quick search of the term benis brings up a bunch of comics regarding benis as a corruption of the word penis.

Yeah benis is just a meme joke thing, I'm guessing some incredibly witty teen thought it would be funny to do a bit of vandalism. 81.101.32.116 (talk) 18:17, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Previous versions
Thats a shame, I've acctually done the practice, and know others, but I don't know any books or references, sadly. 68.237.184.104 22:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

This entry has been deleted twice already largely because it was the repository of a large number of claims unsubstantiated by reliable sources. It has been recreated and appears to be going exactly the same way with exactly the same claims with zero sources. I'd say referencing this should be a priority or it will go the same way as the others, rather quickly. (Emperor 13:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC))

Well, in certain circles this particular activity is well known and practiced. It's a shame that it isn't allowed to be kept on Wikipedia simply because it is not documented elsewhere. I personally had not heard of the race-horse origin, but the butt-plug made with Ginger is well known here in Sweden. ... And here be my IP nr.


 * Unfortunately, being documented elsewhere is one of the core principles of Wikipedia and is needed to satisfy WP:V and WP:N or anyone could add anything.
 * It is worth noting that this entry is now devolving to virtually the same state as the previous version (possibly worse) that got deleted. I first checked this page out because of the wild claims it was making (especially about its history) and I have tried to source them from WP:RS and failed last time and they have been added back in without any attempts at sourcing so I hold out little hope for this article. As I suggested last time this might be better as a small paragraph in anal masturbation as time and again it seems to run away with itself and starts including unverified claims and getting itself deleted.

_________________________ Well, most of the article is common knowledge (at least, as above, in "certain circles"). The problem is in the history page, which is undocumented and, to my way of thinking, highly suspect. It seems like the problem of deletion overall could be averted by simply deleting that one section. I'm a novice at the backside of Wikipedia, so I'm reluctant to do it myself. But someone should.

Video of Figging gone wrong
http://www.(efukt).com/20778_Figging_Gone_Wrong.html has a video of figging gone wrong. It's actually somewhat informative, although it clearly is considered pornographic. I'm no big wikipedia editor, but this may be useful. 98.118.130.3 (talk) 00:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)nobody2000 it certainly is interesting and informative — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.189.76.3 (talk) 14:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

History
The (german language) reference for the history section (3)   does not state ginger was used on greek slaves,as in the text,  but that a radish was. 178.197.206.188 (talk) 18:54, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
