Women and rectal temperatures

I haven’t had one done that way, outside of play, since I was 14 and in the hospital after an appendectomy

Yes some still do 😁 My spouse gets her temperature checked at least once a week. Even if she claims she doesn‘t like it she takes some arosal out of it 😉

I have never had mine taken by anyone else (haven't worked up the courage to ask my fiance) but I take my own both when sick and not.

Yes I do. I love it and I love it more when my boyfriend takes my temperature when we are playing or when I am really sick.

@deepbreaths Wow you found a rectal thermometer in your parents' house and played with it?

I’m guessing that women still for necessary medical reasons get their temperature taken rectally. I think we can agree it is not as common as it may have been in the past.

Technology has changed the way many medical procedures are performed and temperature taking has been one.

I would be hard pressed to say it is no longer used, again as I stated for necessary medical reasons it may be and probably is still done.

Then too there are still mostly digital thermometers available that can be bought and used how the person opts to use it.

I’m guessing too that women do in other than a medical setting use the rectal method either by their own hand or by someone else such as a friend or family member during an illness.

Then too pretty much as is evident here on Zity, there are women who prefer the rectal method and experience it at times in a medical venue, a home setting and with a significant other.

I have over the years taken the rectal temperature of many adult females and if the opportunity presents itself and it is consensual I would do it again.

I have never had my temperature rectally

@JSChallenger Even as a baby or toddler?

@hhwO7….I am a 43 yr old woman who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and my temperature was always taken rectally from infancy to present! Growing up that is the only way my parents took my temperature @ home it was also done that way @ the doctors office!

Like I said I’m 43 and my REAL doctor still takes my temperature rectally when I am in for a sick visit and once it was done as I was there for a routine women’s physical!

Does it bother me to have it done in the doctors office….no not really! When it’s done there it’s not sexual or arousing….it’s all professional by REAL nurses! Only once has my actual doctor taken my temperature….usually it’s the nurse!

No

When I had COVID and ran a 102 fever, my husband took my rectal temperature several times until it was back to normal. He didn’t really need to take it that way, but he liked seeing my bare bottom and I rather enjoyed the TLC.

An interesting topic. In Ireland, where I am living the practice, outside of infants (0-2yrs) is all but consigned to textbooks. As many posters have eluded too, the popularity of ear thermometers has taken over across the board.

That said, I dated two girls in the past. One, actually enjoyed her temperature being taken rectally because of experiences at her doctor. This shocked me, as well as completely aroused me as we would have grown up in 90s and early 00s. Another previous partner of mine later admitted to me that she would regularly have her rectal temperature taken by the nurse at her gynaecologist as part of the pre-checkup before the exam. She was also of the same age. Now, the caveat is both vaguely knew I had a medical fetish but I still maintain the uniqueness of their accounts and detail they went into lead me to believe they were both genuine as opposed to playing to my interests.

No memory of it growing up at the doctor's office. Certainly not at home, given how overly modest and Puritan my parents were. Always oral. I'm a bit surprised that some people get them even today as adults at a regular exam. For me, it's just been with trusted play partners.

In the clinic where I work, the doctors occasionally check rectal temperatures, depending on the medical condition. Sometimes, they ask me to take rectal and oral temperatures without providing an explanation; It's just listed like blood pressure and body weight

Why would they do that @Nurse-natalie and take their temperature unless they think the patient has got a fever? It sounds a bit odd to me.

Kinky Docs, maybe @Amethyst.

Apart from some very specific clinical situations, there are very few occasions where rectal temperatures for women OR men would be indicated. That said, when a person is really ill, a temperature in the hiney isn't uncalled for. And....when it comes to playtime, its a great way to measure a temperature.

I would love to take my wife’s temp this way however she does not like anal play

Look up basal body temperature on the internet. The Planned Parenthood site still mentions rectal as the most accurate.

I’ve researched rectal temperature online, mainly through google, reddit, and quora. There are still claims that rectal temperature is the standard in Europe, but if you read the comments on these forums, they would refute that. I’ve seen a couple of people from the Netherlands claiming that all ages use rectal temps, while most people in Europe have adopted to scanning thermometers, including oral digital ones. And I don’t believe that women are taking their ovulation temperature rectally in most cases. If you look at the YouTube or TikTok videos, there’s no mention of it for adults.

@JJM Rectal temperatures were used 40 years ago in France for patients of all ages, and it's true that people who were kids in that era may well continue taking their temperature rectally. However this is I think considered quite old fashioned. Hospitals no longer use that method.

What I wonder is what is advised today in France for women who wish to check for ovulation. I'd expect rectal because it's reliable.

It will be accurate to take her basil body temperature rectally, but with advances in technology that can track body temp in various ways, I’d be surprised if women in the US trying to get pregnant are still sticking a thermometer up their behind.

I'm thinking of something. Decades ago, contraception was illegal in many countries, and even if legal was not necessarily practical and accessible, and some married women would try to avoid conception by tracking their ovulation through various methods (temperature, examination of cervical mucous, etc.). Nowadays, I suspect very few do that (basically, only those that belong to a religion banning artificial contraception but tolerating cycle methods, such as Catholicism). So there should be fewer women tracking their ovulation, mostly those trying to conceive.

There are at least five adult females, I am friends with who were in their mid 30s who had no issue first, discussing the issue of rectal temperatures, and second, relating that there were times as both teens and now in their mid thirties had and still have their rectal temperatures taken. This was as needed medically and how they preferred it taken.

I don't think nurses even take rectal temps on infants any more. It's much quicker to just zap their ear or scan their forehead.

Sorry, but rectal temps have been banished to the stuff of 50s nostalgia and fetishism.

Years back I was with my friend at his apartment, he told me his mother was in bed, ill. Their family doctor did a house call.

Though a brief glimpse we both saw his mom face down on the bed. Her dress was pushed up over her hips, her panties lowered.

My friend’s dad was standing next to the bed too. .The doctor was sitting on a chair next to the bed shaking the thermometer down . Don’t know if it was before or after her temperature was taken. Circa early 60s
