Any logic for turning/twisting?

Logic?!? Other than it feels really good? No.

When playing with someone, and they are into it, twisting, twirling, tapping etc helps them get off (Your mileage may vary)!

How it feels.

When taking a rectal temp for medical reasons there is no reason to twist the thermometer. With lube it goes in fine. If a nurse or doctor twisted the thermometer I would question their motive and professionalism. Reason why is because I've done it to many women in a play setting and it's almost always enjoyable. It should be done in a play setting. Most fetish or mainstream porn videos with rectal temps don't do it. They are boring. If the girl was not having an orgasm or close to it then I was not doing my job correctly. My wife definitely enjoys it. Last month I got to witness our male friend twisting the rectal thermometer deep in her ass. Also pushing it in and out and tapping it. The nerve endings are there for a reason. Stimulate them.

Other than getting the lube spread around in the anus the only other reason is for the enjoyment of the person getting their temp taken. I use a combination of twirl and sliding it in and out a bit, sometimes a little tap on the end

When the Pediatrician arrived for a house call when I was “sick in bed” a rectal temperature reading was last…after the basic pulse/stethoscope/tongue depressor rituals were done. Sitting on the armless desk chair in my room-I knew what I had to do..lower my briefs p.j.bottoms and lay fully across his lap. He did not use Vaseline--it was some kind of water based hand cream. With my Dr.the insertion felt like it was inserted maybe 1" deeper than the parental style-with one partial twirl felt. Not a big deal but it sure was a more memorable 3 minute “fever check”..

I love when my play date twists, turns, & taps on the thermometer 🌡

As others have there is no logic for doing it in serious medical terms, but in play it is pleasurable. I always use this on my wife, me taking my wife's rectal temperature has become a very common thing in my life, me turning and it twisting it doesn't exactly turn her on but rather relaxes her. It is really comforting for her and I use it on her whenever she's in stress. I also try pushing it in and out. Whenever she's stressed, I lay her over my knee and take her rectal temperature while twisting the thermometer.

When I was three years old I was in the hospital for a couple days. Both times when the nurse took my rectal temperature she moved it in and out some, I think she enjoyed it

Several years ago my play doctor would take my temperature rectally. He always took his time, constantly adjusting the thermometer, moving it in and out, twisting and tapping on it. I think he enjoyed it as much as I did.

That never happened to me when my temperature was taken rectally

No reason to twist and swirl and turn it around, except for extra stimulation, esp to young already horny guys who the taker wants to see get aroused, which it does do.

I guess turning and twisting was used to get the thermometer deeper inside me. My mom let it stuck in place, but my dad was more on edge, therefore he withdrawn the thermometer mid-term and reinserted it

The only reason for I can see would be for glass thermometers. Sometimes if you want to try to get the reading without removing the thermometer you have to twist it in order to see the mercury line.

Already posted a reply. That said, if done by a medical person, it could be a pract they were taught.

Oh lord, to remind the one whos temp you’re taking that, you’re taking it and there’s something inside them….

If there is any logic to it, I’d like to hear it. If you’re trying to turn yourself and the patient on, it makes sense. Don’t most just stick it up there, take their hand away, and remove it when it’s ready?

@Enemamike ,

The twisting incident was late 70s.
