Is a rectal temperature fetish common?

Do you think a rectal temperature fetish is common? I would imagine more people like rectal temps as a form of sexual foreplay than we think. It was a very common procedure. Any thoughts anyone?

Most definitely not. Look at how few vids there are compared to other fetishes. Enemas appear to be fairly popular and their popularity appears to be growing but there are many, many fetishes more popular than RTs. People really into anal want more stimulation than a little thermometer.

I felt like the Lone RT Ranger until I found (old Tumblr) and finally Zity. It’s definitely more popular than I thought it would be. It’s hard to find younger people who are into it, simply because they weren’t exposed to rectal thermometers as children like many of us were, but there are a few! It will likely continue to inspire my art illustrations, and I’m certainly willing to guide anyone who’s interested in taking it up as a fetish.

It’s a little more common than I thought it was, but it’s still the ugly duckling of fetishes.

It seems pretty uncommon. If you look up rectal temps. on any search engine, there's scant little information that would lead you to a fetish forum. On the other hand, vintage rectal thermometers are artificially inflated on Ebay, and oral thermometers aren't. So, apparently some sellers are aware of the fetish, and are trying to take advantage. Personally, I'm surprised that it's not a lot more popular, especially with an older crowd, who would remember them. Anyone under 40, would likely be clueless.

Probably not but then it’s an embarrassing interest to admit to. Like with any kind of sexual interest with the anus, there’s something shameful, dirty, naughty about it that’s ingrained in our minds from a young age.

Very very few of the women I’ve had sex with would discuss the anal play we engaged in, although each of those women allowed me, repeatedly to touch, kiss, lick, or penetrate their bottom holes. And the majority of them clearly loved it, based on the movement of their bodies and the sounds coming from their lips.

But taking someone’s rectal temperature is somehow even more delicate an idea. I think many more people would be into it if they could psychologically allow themselves to.

No it is not common fetish I don't think.

Not common? Oh I don't know about that. Over 35 years I've had 23 partners of whom 21 LOVED IT!! They ranged in age from 55 to 24. I think its more prevalent than one might think. 😉

@rangerboy What was the reactions of the other 2?

There are a lot of MEDFET and even BDSM videos that include RTs. I would guess it really is a pretty common fetish, just not talked about a lot. Same for a lot of other kinks on here.

As for my thoughts - I never developed an interest in RT's. Growing up in the late 1940's it was the only way my temp was taken, and it seemed natural.. by comparison, it didn't have the scare factor that enemas and spanking had..

I would say not in my experience in the fetish world, which is most of my adult life. Of all the fetishes or interests out there, you find very little discussion, photography or other material in comparison with say, spanking, where there is literally a whole subculture with lots of interest

I think it is more common than people probably realize.
