RT as a gateway to other anal play

Does anyone else view RTs as a gateway to other anal play? I've always loved RTs and now enjoy being on the receiving end of anal sex, anal toys, and even fisting. I think it all started with my RT obsession. Has anyone else started with RTs and "graduated" to bigger things?

This is how I got started with my wife, I took her temperature rectally for play, and we progressed to other things, but not actual anal sex.

I do agree... It can be a good medical starting point for vanillas but also for spankos.

It can be very easily combined with other forms of punishment, and it can be followed by an enema for example...

I agree. It’s a nice form of foreplay and can be followed by anal penetration with toys or penis.

I've never had my temperature taken rectally, although I maybe did as an infant. If I had been old enough to remember it, it certainly would have opened me up earlier to anal play. I love anal play of all kinds, but the gateway was enemas.

Maybe so… my Mom always took my temperature rectally and the older I got the better it felt. I do love anal love making and can have great orgasms with anal too ❤️

I’d have to say up to about age 9 it didn’t matter one way or another but after age 9, the arousal and other things about it just was absolutely amazing.

My 10-year-old male friend and I between age 10 and 13 when we could get alone time and nobody else was around took each other‘s rectal temperatures and in some cases did digital rectal exams and once or twice we gave each other enemas so I’d say sure RT can lead to other anal stuff. This was late 60’s to early 70’s.

Definitifly yes; RT has waked up my interest to Anal Sex, I went this way together with wife, but also with other guys. Its still a importend part of our foreplay, and I never want to miss it.

Rectal temperature is the prototype for all my fetishes involving bare (and the baring of) bottoms, power, and submission. I believe even the oldest image that I can retrieve of my temperature being taken rectally by my mother bumps up against something beyond the reach of conscious memory. It is primal for me--the lying on my tummy with my pants and underpants taken down; the thin glass thermometer emerging from the big Vaseline jar with a smudge on its stubby bulb; my very beautiful mother in her 20s and early 30s, gently spreading my cheeks, resting the bulb ever so briefly against my anus before inserting it, then taking the thermometer between her index and middle finger, placing her palm flat on my bottom to hold it in space for three minutes before removing and reading it. I think there were later medical experiences--my first shot in the bottom at 8-almost-9 and my first rectal exam at 12--that felt so emotionally overwhelming that they did a great deal to further imprint this fetish. But the root of any obsession with anal and bottom play is in RT.

Like a gateway drug?

At first my Dom just did RT. Then it progressed to spanking bare bottom, enemas and suppositories. Yes.....definitely a gateway for me.

At 72, I have had a strong rectal temperature fetish thoughout my life and I have come to see rectal temperature taking as a way to make love, and a very intimate one, just like anal or oral sex.

So, I quite agree that rectal temperature can be a gateway to something else. I even think that rectal temperature taking can be a step in the process of developing a full scale sexual relation for teenagers or young adults.

Definitely true for me. The fascination with rectal temperatures started early in childhood and has stayed with me, even while as I got older, I also experimented with fingers and other things. As an adult anal play is a big part of my sexuality (fingers, anal sex both giving and receiving). But the rectal thermometer was the start of it all and still holds a strong fascination that goes deep to a childhood part of me.

I think that having a rectal thermometer fetish, is only one indicator of anal eroticism. I’ve tried using anal toys, with no positive effect. Everyone is different.

Fascinating question. I would say that for some this is entirely the case but for me it has remained isolated to the act of receiving a rectal temp. Associated with this is the variable of acquiescing to the directives of the nurse or doctor. I don't recall having my mom take it like that but then again I would have been very young as an infant or toddler. I do recall that it was a ritual when visiting the doctor for a physical. It was always the responsibility of the nurse to have me undressed and then told to turn over onto my belly for the inevitable intrusion of the rectal thermometer while mom watched!

As I got older, the ritual became associated with total embarrassment and eventually an element of eroticism as I entered prepuberty and then puberty. To some degree, the requirement of receiving a DRE has replaced the embarrassment associated with having my cheeks spread and feeling an insertion. I think for me, the act of having my bottom fully exposed and awaiting a medical procedure be it a RT, DRE or shot has a lot to do with becoming fixated on this in an erotic manner. Still the feel of lube remains a very strong trigger for me!

I would say definitely yes to the question. Denise

I haven’t had anything larger than a largish enema nozzle in my rectum. I do like to precede enemas with a rectal temp preceding the insertion of the double balloon nozzle. The exquisite feeling of @Iris1858 ’s hand on my buttock and perianal area as she holds the thermometer in my rectum. It’s so loving and intimate. More intimate than conventional penile vaginal intercourse. The enema which follows is dreamy and oh so urgent.

I think that things for me started with thermometers and suppositories (plus a couple rectal exams).

My lover and I have started taking each other’s temperatures rectally just before administering each other’s enemas. For us, taking a rectal temperature is foreplay and administering an enema is lovemaking.

@liquidsky is so tender and gentle. I love the sweet things he says to me while he’s filling me up with warm, soapy water. And the encouragement he gives me while I’m holding takes my mind off the sensations of urgency that build up to an amazing release.
