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. This was a particular concern for our doctor, as my husband and I closely watched Jen's breathing for signs of congestion. She developed a mild cough but, thankfully, more serious.

Long story short, she ran a fever in the 102s rectally 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.

It is for me, Like I don't think I remember getting one in a medical setting, so if I did it was when I was really small... That being said it's part of my fantasies now...

I can’t speak for others and the word ‘kinky’ isn’t one I use, but oh my yes it’s a part of my erotic fantasies and my sexual life.

Yes I always make the patient step off the table and bend over the side of the exam table

I’ll take kinky anytime which rectal thermometer use for anything other than actual medical situations clearly is. Doesn’t bother me any.

From a clinical standpoint it’s not kinky, unless you enjoy everything from looking at a naked ass and butthole, to being on the giving or receiving end of it. An open minded, and adventurous, high spirited person would likely get off on it, while a close minded, and socially boring person might not. If in doubt, ask. I wouldn’t want to have a socially and sexually boring person in my life.

Rectal temperature play is very kinky. And very rare. In over four decades of sexual experiences with men, I have taken the rectal temperatures of well over 50 men. In every case I was the taker. None of these guys had every experienced or ever imagined rectal temperature-taking as a sexual activity. One guy even told me he thought it was so kinky. Another guy, who was a physician, told me it was so erotic. Out of all the guys there were probably only two who backed away because they didn't want it done to them. And one guy who let me do it, but told me he thought it was a stupid idea. The vast majority of the guys enjoyed having me put a thermometer in their ass for the very first time. There is nothing sexier than a man's ass.

Medically, taking a rectal temperature is simply a method of measuring body temperature. In a BDSM or kink context, however, if someone incorporates it into a consensual scene because they find the intimacy, vulnerability, ritual, or power dynamic arousing, they may regard it as a form of anal play or medical-role-play.

It can be I do role play exams for couples. Having the wife bend over the side of the table and look at her husband in a chair looking her in the eyes as I ask her spread her legs and have the husband watch me slip on a pair of rubber glove and explain I’m going to open her anus before I insert the thermometer. I’ll apply lobe to my index and middle finger than start with the index finger than adding the middle finger as the look at each other. You always get a moan or grunt to enjoy the husbands expression. After I insert the thermometer I’ll ask her explicitly questions about her sex life present and past as she has to look her husband in the eyes

I think rectal temperature play is kinky . Being a straight guy I do find having another taking my rectal temperature pleasant.
