Has anyone left their rectal thermometer out in the open?

Has anyone either accidentally, or intentionally, left their rectal thermometer (Or enema equipment for that matter), out in the open and then discovered that it was seen or moved by someone such as a housekeeper, hotel maid, friend/visitor?

If so, what was the reaction?

I’m usually very careful with putting my stuff away. But once I left the glass thermometer and vaseline on purpose on my night stand when someone from a moving company came to make an offer. Imshowed him the house and he quickly inspected the bedroom. No comment was made. I’m not sure if he noticed the thermometer.

I didn't leave it out, but my wife found mine in the drawer when we first started seeing each other. There was a small jar of Vasile in the drawer ith little holes where I had dipped the thermometer. When she asked, I explained that's how I took my temp since I was little. She told me to take my pants and underwear off and get on the bed on my back and put my legs up. I was already getting an erection when she came over and lubed me with yhe Vaseline. This brought me to full attention and as she pushed thermometer in she started stroking my penis with her Vaselined fingers. She also started wiring the thermometer and that Sent me over the edge.

Mine is hanging in the tooth brush holder beside the sink and the enema bag is hanging beside my exam table in my one large bathroom, anyone that walks in can see everything.

@BottmsUP-TX It is very cute that she accommodated you.

I don't know if my sister's girlfriend has figured out the difference between a regular oral and a rectal thermometer. We were up at the lake and my sister's girlfriend felt hot so I went to Mom and Dad's and got the thermometer. We were staying in the guest house. Anyway, I was starting to cook. My sister was in the bathroom. I handed the thermometer to my sister's girlfriend and went back to the kitchen area. The kitchen area is separated by a bar. The bedroom and den are all in one area. All of a sudden I hear my sister yell NOOOOO! I turned around and she had it in her mouth. We told her that it was a rectal thermometer. She started gagging a little. We were laughing. Then we told her the good thing is that it was only used on me and my sister. She stopped gagging. BUT used it the right way the rest of the time we were down there.

Sometimes, we doforget and leave it, along with the Vaseline, on the stand in our bedroom.

Honestly I find this a very naughty idea... leaving my thermometer out near the sink when a certain platonic friend is over visiting. OMG would she notice and if so would she say anything to me??? Platonic but I can admit here that I've had some thoughts about her 😇

Go for it! You never know where it will go unless you try.

Growing up when I was sick and out of school for a couple of days, my mom kept the rectal thermometer and the jar of Vaseline on the nite stand next to my bed. When friends came over to visit it was easily seen by everyone. My mom would also not hesitate to come into my room with my friends present and tell me it was time to take my temperature. She would sit on my bed and I would have to lie over her lap. She pulled my pajama bottoms down and took my temperature in front of everyone. I would have much preferred nobody else there, but it wasn’t considered a big deal, as I had seen others in the same predicament, After a while we didn’t think about it.

Yes when I am sick

I do it, mostly the rectal thermometer (!mercury) sticking out of a jar of Vaseline on a table readily visible. Sometimes I hang a half full enema bag ( coffee) in sight.

If I’m getting a massage mostly the thermometer and a few other health related items intentionally left out.

Sometimes they sit there..nothing. At other times they’ve been a conversation starter and went on to be used. Same for the enema.

Usually I hide my thermometer, suppositories and stuff very carefully.

I thought of leaving a thermometer and some lubricant openly to see for a lover but never did it. Perhaps I will do so in the future…

I have a little caddy on the bedside table that I keep a digital (basal thermometer) and a glass mercury thermometer, alcohol swabs and a small tube of lubricant (but usually I do it with out any)! Suppositories and enema equipment is kept put away out of sight!

Taking a rectal temperature is something “normal” and a natural thing….not embarrassing to me if someone sees or knows but the other stuff well that’s a little more private

Not really in plain sight but in the bathroom cabinet, over the sink, first shelf along with a small tub of Vaseline!

@Nennie I'd like to hear of the results of such an experiment!

While in college I was sick with a cold and took my temp before bed and left the glass thermometer and Vaseline jar on my bedside table. The next morning my flatmate came in my room to talk to me and eventually noticed the thermometer and Vaseline. He told me he had an digital oral one if I needed to borrow it 😂

A few years ago I checked my then sick husband temp and gave him a suppository for cold / coughing. The next morning I left the thermometer in its case and the suppo box on the bedside table and forgot the maid was coming 🤦🏻‍♂️ they clearly were slightly moved.

No I am careful to keep this hidden but will discuss it with friends who I feel share the same interests.

I do like to hunt in people's bathrooms for glass thermometers though and you often find them and imagine where they have been. No interest in ear or forehead types they are dull.

Even if you did leave it out, most people would just think it's an oral thermometer.

I usually leave it out when I am sick. My wife then comes over and feels my head and will check me

@Luvbottomtemps A basal thermometer is not unexpected in the bedroom of a woman trying to conceive…

Oral or rectal thermometer, Vaseline when it was needed, I usually kept on a dresser or nightstand in the bedroom when one of us was sick. We had a small tray where I kept these items, and I covered the tray with a towel. My daughters’ friends didn’t need to see what type of thermometer we were using!!

Any trace of an enema bag, no way!! That was a pretty rare occurrence with the girls, anyway. Suppositories, always kept back in the fridge, out of sight.

Yes! My latest Rectal thermometer was received in the mail yesterday. I was doing some photography on it for a possible eBay auction. It is a B-D red flash. Came in a red box ( original) and was in one of those plastic two part cases with a holding base and clear top (will put some images up)

Just then my pizza got delivered, and the really lovely young girl placed the pizza on the table where the thermometer and its box was sitting . I’m pretty sure she saw it. But she was probably too young even if she did see it; to appreciate a piece of medical equipment that-and I’m guessing was something she had no experience with.

Day to day, I do not take rectal temperatures, not even for illness. So despite my love for rectal temperatures, you would be surprised that I never caught on to this.

I always keep a jar of Vaseline on my nightstand to use as lip balm right before sleeping. This jar has only EVER been used as lip balm and nothing more.

Well, I had a cold recently and had a low grade fever with it. For the duration of my sickness, I only took my temperature orally with a digital thermometer. During this time, the thermometer was kept by my bed.

It just dawned on me a couple days ago have having a thermometer and jar of Vaseline together beside the bed certainly gives a specific impression!

Mine is always next to my bed alongside the Vaseline. If anyone's noticed they haven't said anything about it.

When I am sick I leave it out and the wife comes and will take it

I haven't left them out, but, (no pun intended), I did see a enema bag and nozzle hanging on the back of the bathroom door when I visited a friend of mine. I was in my teens and the enema bag belonged to the mom of my friend. I thought, wow, I would have loved to see the nozzle up her butt getting a enema. I was a butt man at a early age.

@Emanfun Maybe she douched!

Yes. Many people my age take their temperature rectally and it would not seem out of place in the bedroom of a sick person. A bit old fashioned!
