Is Rectal Temperature considered Kinky (fetish) Anal Play?

I think and it is just my opinion/ feeling is that outside of the medical settings where it was used as per policy if not contra indicated for a/ the patient’s well being/ recovery; it may be where adults in their relationship one wanted to involve rectal temperature taking, while the other did not.

The buttocks, anal region for many, was “taboo” and not spoken of or about by adults. Very possible for adults today that the practice as a child was traumatic and they wanted and still want no part of it.

And yes, along with expressions such as “taboo”, or the quip, “ that’s an exit, not an entrance” or as the thread discusses, “ kinky”, that’s how many saw/ see the issue of rectal temperatures be it in a mutual setting between adults.

Again just an opinion.

It depends. Some women think that is kink. Some think it disgusting I probably is kinky but I love ass play, a beautiful part of the body that should be explored

I dunno. Is a rimjob necessary in order to lubricate the rectal area to ease the insertion of the thermometer? If the answer is Yes, then it might just be a tad kinky.

In the summer of 2020, our older daughter suddenly became very ill with the COVID 19 virus. She was 30 at the time. She texted me in the middle of the night and wrote that she was so sick that she was frightened.

My husband and I drove over to her apartment and brought her back home with us. She was shivering uncontrollably, and I could tell immediately she was running a high fever. When we got her home and into bed in her old room, I thought that I needed to take her temperature, and it should be rectal.

I just felt that I needed to get as accurate a temp as possible. We had a vintage rectal thermometer that my mother gave us when we were married, and it was still spot-on like new. Jen was shivering and somewhat agitated, so I had to hold the thermometer in her bottom for the three minutes or so, and I was pretty freaked out as well. The first reading was just slightly below 103 degrees.

Long story short, she ran a fever in the 102s for about 48 hours. I ran out to our local pharmacy that first day and bought a new digital thermometer that I would use to take her rectal temp, which blessedly gave an accurate reading in less than 15 seconds.

Talking with our doctor, she agreed that I should continue to take Jen’s temperature rectally so we would have consistent readings. There was no kink on my part. It was what our doctor and I felt was medically appropriate. Jen never complained or questioned what we were doing.
