Taker's view

I think that one of the most thrilling things of RTs from the taker's point of view is the wonderful sight of a glass thermometer sticking out from between the cheeks of the patient.

Thoughts on this?

I have always liked that view as well. That's why I truly hate videos or photos of RT being taken when the thermometer is not put in far enough on an adult the thermometer should be pushed into the rectum at least two inches with the standard glass USA type rectal thermometer. The look of the thermometer just bulb in is a huge turnoff for me. Also the look of the thermometer so high up that it looks like it will fall out any second is also a huge turnoff. If you are going to take a RT on camera it should be done right.

As with many things, the more the taker enjoys it, the better it is for the receiver.

Oh I LOVE seeing the thermometer between her bottom cheeks. Huge turn on for the taker. As a receiver, I've had the taker situate a couple of mirrors so I could enjoy the view of my own temped bottom.

@X1900,

I absolutely agree with you. I think a girl with a thermometer inserted in her butt always looks so vulnerable...

One of the best and most simple turn on in medical!

I like this thread. I have a lot of photos of a taker's view posted and they all of women getting their rectal temperatures taken. X1900, please check out the photos that I have posted in my album.

I do agree that some pictures fail to capture the significance of a rectal temperature and are more designed to reveal the anus rather than the very intimate nature of the procedure. Having the patient on his or her belly is truly the best view while seeing a nurse spread the patient's cheeks. I agree that the thermometer requires insertion of 2 inches and not the tip. It needs to be surrounded by the patient's cheeks and not appear as an antennae. Most of all, the thermometer should show KY or Vaseline residue over most of it's length or it wasn't a rectal temp. Pictures showing the patient's face when instructed that a rectal temp is required helps tremendously as well as showing the patient preparing for this very personal and somewhat embarrassing experience.

Indeed. A glorious sight. And seeing those cute round cheeks holding the thermometer makes me want to pull them apart. Then make gentle but electric little adjustments, in and out and twisting the cold thermometer in her soft, glistening anus. And listen to her subtle and not so subtle grunts and groans and breaths.

And it feels good too........

Who, in their right mind, wouldn't enjoy that view ? When I comb through the rectal temp. pics, I always get excited, and want to thank those who have made them available. I've searched Youtube for rectal temp. videos, and whatever was there, has been removed. There are many beautiful things in this world to be photographed, but, a woman's butt, preferably with a rectal thermometer sticking out, is definitely at the top of the list. I also fantasize about how great it feels for them too.

The view...of a thermometer, protruding from a beautiful woman's bottom..... priceless. The look on her face, as the glass rod of joy is very delicately inserted.....priceless. The movement of the thermometer buried deep in her anus as you give her a nice back and bottom massage......priceless.

I am curious how the nurses and sometimes doctors felt with respect to their view of taking the temperature of boys and girls, and sometimes men and women in doctor's offices and in hospitals. Did any of them get turned on by this, or did the fact that so many rectal temperatures were taken, that they became immune to the sight.

I separate work from play. I never get turned on. I worked trauma right out of nursing school. I had done a rotation and liked it. We had male and females brought in sometimes passed out from heat exhaustion or heat stroke or drunk passed out and these were college kids. I was fresh out of college myself. That never turned me on. It was a job and they were sick. Plus you were worried not just for them but if you did something wrong. At the time glass thermometers were what was being used. Then they went to tympanic thermometers and now they have infrared where you don't even touch the patient.
