Substitute for a rectal thermometer

@rodjerkerr

@TakeItAgain - I have done the same, with the same. As an adolescent male (about 12), I had easy access to a similar bottle in our family bathroom. Without being too graphic, I’d frequently spend time in the bathroom exploring, and often that exploration included the use of baby oil. I liked to pour the baby oil on the bottle, and then between my cheeks as I lie on the bathroom floor. It was a bit messy but somehow that added to the experience, sorta like a punishment to have to clean up for what I was doing, when I was through. This perfume bottle was a bit tight going in and I think I may have even stretched things a little to far back then as I’ve occasionally get some pain there even today, 40 something years later.

I wish I understood why putting things inside of me has been such an interest of mine over the years. Of course it feels good but it has to be more than that. Certainly, there is something today about my mindset when opting for this activity. And what caused and reinforced my interest in doing these things to myself? Grateful for the opportunity to discuss and explore the topic with understanding and like-minded people here.

The whole perfume bottle? Impressive! You raise a good point. Feeling yummy aside, what else is behind (I said it!) this? Sometimes, it’s not until someone expresses the way they feel about pleasures we share that I realize that’s the way I feel. We can’t always put a finger on (or in) it until someone shares their insight. That‘s why I’m grateful for peoples posts on here as well. There‘s something about having to hide in the bathroom, wait until no one is home, or hope a significant other doesn’t run for the hills - while quite thrilling - can also be really isolating.

I have always loved the feeling of a rectal thermometer sliding in. Though wife likes my lubed finger in her rectum, she isn't up for reciprocating. During my teen years, I had sometimes pushed in toothbrush handles with Vaseline on them; so on my own, I would come back to those from time to time. Later on, being curious about what a larger object would feel like, I used the K-Y jelly she and I always have on hand, to lube up large candlesticks (one at a time) and slide them in. I was surprised how far in I could take the candlestick, without pain. That was so pleasant that I finally ordered a prostate massager to use with lots of lube. It feels wonderful, and the orgasms are in a class by themselves.

As a boy of about 12 I was afraid to put the glass thermometer in my rectum. I wanted to experiment but at the same time it seemed somehow dangerous and I was afraid I’d hurt myself or break the thermometer. I used a q tips and the stubby end of a bic pen as early substitutes before I got the courage to use the real thermometer.

A few things… sharpie markers were a good fit

I've used the casing of Bic pens, but inserted deeper than a thermometer would have been. I've even had one completely inserted (yes I know, stupid, but I could poop it out).

If you ask me, I can tell you I can substitute a rectal thermometer with another rectal thermometer with a different shape. It is very simple for me as I own various types of rectal thermometers. So I would not replace a rectal thermometer with any other object.
