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.
