Triggers and eroticism around the experience of rectal temperature taking

For me comes from early experience in childhood and over the course of time playing on my own.

What I have found for me, is the porn and media around rectal temperature taking misses the mark on most accounts.

First of all the age of the digital because of the era I grew up in does nothing for me.

Additionally I've found and wondered about others experience, that the observation of the preparation and vocal instructions to be even more erotic than the actual act.

The image of a fully clothed nurse, or mature figure, shaking down the thermometer,dipping it in Vaseline, showing the glistening glass and bulb coated and ready, is as erotic if not more to me than an anonymous set of cheeks with a thermometer poking out of.

I did not have the early childhood experiences with rectal temperatures. If I had experiences of childhood rectal temperature taken, I might have asked for a play doctor set as a kid and used the play thermometer like my husband did. I think that psychological component is a big factor. I think these psychological factors like the sight of the jar of Vaseline, the sound of the jar of Vaseline, sight of someone shaking the thermometer, the sound of parent saying they are going to take your temperature rectally, the feel of someone pulling down your clothes and spreading your butt cheeks, insertion of the thermometer are all triggers.

@medfedcouple I agree.

"the sight of the jar of Vaseline, the sound of the jar of Vaseline, sight of someone shaking the thermometer, the feel of someone pulling down your clothes and spreading your butt cheeks"

All these things make my stomach clench and my blood suddenly feel very warm, make my eyes bulge and suddenly I am totally submissive to the other person and can't even speak.

On a visual level, I have to admit I enjoy the sight of a butt with a thermometer in it.

That being said, I agree with you overall about what sort of feeling that evokes in comparison to going through all the right motions, so to speak. One of the biggest erotic triggers for me when it comes to temperature taking is that the patient is still mostly clothed. Top still on, pants and underwear just barely down below the butt, that's far more appealing to me no matter who is involved than a nude person could be in a similar situation.

Gives an element of realness, I suppose.

For me its the old fashioned BD glass thermometer with the pair shaped end. I have vivid memories of standing there naked watching her shaking it down if i was going over her knee for my temp or laying on my tummy on the bed watching her shake it down. Then feeling my cheeks being parted and the cold therMOMeter slipping in. She would tell me to watch the minute hand on the analog clock by her bed side and call her once it had gone around at least 3 times

I don't even know where to begin ! When I take my rectal temp., it's almost always accompanied by erotic pics of women, that I have on my tablet. I often incorporate fantasies that I have that were triggered by memories of women that I've seen in public places. The thought of a sexy woman having me lay on the bed, while she's shaking the thermometer down, and covering it in Vaseline. Porn works very well for me, in this instance. The imagination can actually be better than reality, in many cases.

It’s a pretty broad-based interest for me.

I like the embarrassment and sense that I’m being treated like a kid who can’t be trusted to hold a thermometer in his mouth. And the concern that friends might find out.

Plus the vulnerability of lying there and having my underpants pulled down.

I love watching the thermometer being shaken down and prepared.

And I do like the sensation of having my cheeks spread and thermometer inserted.

And the sort of intimacy between patient and caregiver as the thermometer is held in place while it registers.

And of course if my temperature needs to be monitored over time the anticipation of when I’ll be told it’s time for the next reading.

Thanks @MrStrat for starting this interesting thread. I agree with many of the points raised. For me, the most erotic aspect of having my temperature taken is lying, exposed and vulnerable, on a bed or couch while a fully-clothed nurse or caregiver prepares the thermometer by shaking it down and applying vaseline. As @RTEnthusiast puts it well, there is something oddly erotic about being treated like a child who can't keep a thermometer in his mouth. I look forward to reading on this topic from other members.

Triggers include someone new like a nurse doing it. And just being told to “drop my shorts” or being called a “big boy”.

Robse01...I agree with your reply.
