Which do you prefer to see - thermometer wise ?

I recently posted three images of a friend having her temperature taken rectally with a glass mercury thermometer. What is your thermometer preference as far as images are concerned?

I think most of us will prefer the “Old School” mercury rectal thermometer as that's what was inserted into our rectums as kids, and probably started our fetish.

To me the glass mercury was a part of my experience and I guess when someone conjures up a mental image, yes it’s the glass mercury type.

Glass mercury! Love when it slides in/out of my a$$. Love when my play partner takes my temp with it. 🍑🌡😈

I prefer the good old glass, hopefully mercury thermometer. Maybe because it was the one my mother used on me, sixty years ago. Feels so good when it moves slowly back and forth in my rectum.

But, when, in the course of our games with my late girlfriend, we monitored our temperatures by keeping thermometers in our asses when having sex. It was always ''safety first'' and we used small plastic unbreakable thermometers.

Glass mercury for sure! Nothing other then the best.

I always have liked the USA-style glass rectal thermometer. The European style is just too big, and the digital style is also! The look of a glass thermometer just showing above the butt cheeks is just so lovely. Not too far over though, many people while taking a rectal temp seem not to insert the thermometer deep enough. They need to be, on adults pushed in ½ the length of the thermometer, say 2 inches, through the anus.

If I were too use a rectal thermometer on my wife, I would choose a digital thermometer - don't like the idea of using a thin glass probe that could possibly break. We don't have any oral/rectal/temporal thermometers in our house. I've taken my temp (when I was feeling well) with a digital Weber Meat thermometer and it registered 98 deg F. Close enough for me. I think I'd know if I had a fever without taking my temp at all. Given the crap going around these days, if I suspected anything, I'd call the doc and get tested.

Old school glass variety. Born in the early 50's I saw many of these in medical facilities and often used on me to my chagrin and embarassment by mother and medical personnel standardly. Even at times it became the object and topic of humor and bemusement in all manners of media inc. film and print. Later classic adult printed materials and on screen appearances would occur it becoming the focal point in various scenarios predominantly that being the med. fetish platform generally exhibiting it being employed by the willing hand of a nurse upon either a male patient or the same gender in whatever situation. There were also mainstream films giving it mention or briefly exposing it's handling inc. shakedown administration leaving it all to our imaginations and sensory delight. My most memorable viewing of a depicted rectal temperature procedure was the result of purchasing a popular water enthusiast magazine of the big “E” variety and a photo layout within it had a series of still photos of a male patient being given care by two old school nurses in the traditional white starched uniforms inc. the duties of sponge bath with gown up to chest, a rectal glass thermometer bottom reading whilst he had half of his face buried into the pillow top in humiliation and lastly the duo about to purge his bowels with the bag and a rather long black nozzle as he was atop his stomach with a rather quizzed frightened face with one spreading his posterior rear and her co-host squeezing lube jel upon the soon to be intruder destined for his supposed virginal rectum about to be in their control each smiling in approval and tandem. I frequently gave that feature many looks. This was in the mid. seventies period of such adult publications available at a selected adult bookstore in various cities. Lots only published bi- monthly or quarterly. Fretter.

Old fashioned glass for us. We HAVE used digital but prefer glass. NO candy thermometers in our house. Too thin and liable to breaking.

We have a couple different older glass thermometers. We just don't use them all that often. We aren't that interested in our actual temperatures. A hand on the forehead suffices to say if there is a temperature or not.

I like them big, long, intimidating, scary. 😈

As long as they're safe to use, I don't mind if they're unrealistic looking.

@SadisticDaddy This one probably goes beyond your “safe to use” criteria:

The World's Tallest Thermometer is a landmark in Baker, California, US. It is a steel electric sign that commemorates the weather record of 134 °F (57 °C) recorded in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913.

In my opinion, nothing beats the sight of an old school glass rectal thermometer. Just the sight of one will start scenarios playing in my head. Digital or Geratherms just don’t do it for me.

Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything when I saw your post, @Rigel. 😁

Glass mercury. That's what I grew up with and still love it. Nothing like it!
