Turning the inserted thermometer

When your temperature was taken rectally as a child, were you ever specifically asked by the taker (mother, aunt, babysitter) if you liked having the thermometer turned by them during the measurement?

Asked as a child? No.

No I wasn't asked. My mom didn't touch the thermometer until measuring time was over. My dad was the opposite because he twisted it to read the midterm result, sometimes he removed it midterm and reinserted it. At the pediatrician or in hospital no one twisted the thermometer

As an adult I was getting a rectal temperature taking which I requested, from a young “trainee” ( the badge she was wearing) as a registered nurse oversaw how the trainee was doing the procedure. The trainee was and I’m guessing 18 or 19. Really good looking, too.

So the nurse lowers my pants and underwear, instructs the young woman, “ You take his temperature!”

The girl grabbed a thermometer, held it up, looked at it, shook it down. Opened a foil packet and plunged the Thermometer into it, pulling it out w/ a good deal of lube( similar to K-Y.) I’d have to think this was not her first temperature taking as I watched her. Seconds later she was spreading my buttocks admonishing me to relax, then inserted the thermometer about 2”.

. After a few seconds she began turning it. I immediately became aroused, explaining it was causing me to get an erection.

She immediately stopped, apologized.

The nurse realizing the situation, told her that rectal temperatures on males and how they’re done sometimes cause erections which were not uncommon.

After a female physician saw me, she ordered an antibiotic.

The nurse did the shot. And my butt cheek (upper part) was sore for a day or two!

As a child, no recollection of my Mother doing that.

If I experienced it, it would have to have been done by a former girlfriend, possibly. I’ve tried doing that when taking my own temperature, and it didn’t make any difference. A thermometer is a tiny object, in an adult sized rectum. At least for many people.

My Mom or Gram never did that once it was placed. My doctor's nurse never did either.🌡️

I was never asked. as a child.

Same with danto my mom never did but my dad did sometimes to check and he sometimes would ask me if I felt okay and I said I don't know you can see the reading

No it was just inserted and left alone for around 6 minutes

No my mom or the nurse at the doctors office never turned the thermometer they just inserted it and left in alone

When my mother took my rectal temperature, I don't remember she ever turned the inserted thermometer. She just held it, sticking out of my butt.

But, when she stopped taking my temperature, when I was 13, my parents gave me a brand new glass mercury thermometer to take care myself of my temperature. And. I quickly realised it felt so good to allow the thermometer small back and forth movements as it was registering.

Later, I remained a virgin till I was 21 and unfortunatelly, my first girlfriend, Christine, was strongly opposed to rectal temperature and never accepted to take mine, saying ''I am not your mom''..

I had to wait till I met Maria, my second girlfriend, four years later. She was exactly the opposite to Christine, a medfeter and a rectal temperature fan. She had set the rules for our relationship. She accepted to have sex with me only after taking my rectal temperature on her lap. And she did play with the inserted thermometer as it registered. And those temperature sessions are among the best memories of my sex life.

No, I remember when I was in the hospital at a young age, got the first temp up my butt that I remember. They didn't turn it while it was up my butt.

I have a glass one that's oblong, I do turn that one!

There was a guy in our neighborhood, I think his name was Norman, who finally went off the deep end and killed his mother, and left her body to rot in the attic. It was rumored that Mrs. Bates would take Norman's rectal temperature, on an hourly basis, and would twist and twirl the thermometer while it was inserted.

Did they own a motel?

I always adjust, twist & turn the thermometer once inserted - even women patients who were not thrilled with having their rectal temp taken ended up enjoying the twisting and turning - some even orgasmed - play exams of course

When I was a child and had my RT taken. I was never asked by anyone if I wanted it adjusted in any way. It was inserted and just held there until it registered. I had no say in it. There was only one time at the Pediatrician's office as I was struggling and crying as usual when my mom asked me if I wanted her or the nurse to hold the inserted thermometer. Needless to say I screamed out.."nobody"!! Didn't make any difference.

Not as a child nor in real settings BUTT in play exams, of course! Ugh 🥵 love the feeling of the thermometer twirling and twisting in and out of my rectum.

What would be the purpose, in a real setting, of turning it in the rectum?

@shygirl17 I don't see any reason except perhaps trying to trigger a bowel movement. (I was told that when I was little, my mother sometimes triggered bowel movements by inserting a thermometer.)

Interesting! I could see that but then, an enema may be a better option 😉

@shygirl17 Oh, I don't even recall it being done to me, I was told about it later! Mom, in later years, no longer used that method, and instead used glycerin suppositories.

I got enemas as a kid, usually after having my temp taken rectally, by mom or gram. 🌡️

When I was a kid, the thermometer was inserted in my rectum and just kept there until it was time to read it. Never had it turned or twisted while it was in me.

When I was in my teens and started inserting the thermometer solely for sexual pleasure, that's when I started turning and twisting it. When I met my first man when I was 18, that's when the fun really began. Yep, the fun really began when I met another man. I would really play with thermometer. I'd insert the stubby bulb of the thermometer just a little bit in a teasing manner, then deeper and deeper in his ass. And in and out, in and out. And up and down in his ass slit like a joy stick. I would insert the thermometer in his ass slit at different angles. You can really feel the difference in the sensations when you insert the thermometer in the ass aiming north vs. south, if you know what I mean.

Not as a child, but I once brought a girl home from a bar (in our 20s) and bet her that I could get her hotter than me as part of foreplay. She asked how we would prove it, and I didn’t hesitate. I’ve got a thermometer, so we can play doctor. She blushed and grinned ear to ear. “Only if I get to take yours first,” she said. I grabbed the recall thermometer and Vaseline from a drawer, handed them to her, then rolled onto my front. We were both naked.

She said “This is wild,” still grinning, lubed the thermometer, separated my cheeks and took my temperature. After a few seconds, she started playing with the thermometer. “Oooh. What are you doing?” I asked.

“Twirling it!” she said playfully.

We took each other’s temps several times that night, and had great sex too.

We hooked up a couple of other times but she eventually moved across the the country. Fond memories.

Well I’m sure I had rectal temp taken before this but my earliest memory is around age six my sister would put me on my bed face down an pull my pants completely off she would spread my cheeks an mom would lube me shake down the thermometer and insert it it was always left in no less than 10 minutes but as I got older at the doctors office my doctor an mom believed that rectal temp was most accurate so with mom doc an nurse in the room one of the 3 would take my pants down I was bent over a stand to expose my area one would lube my hole both outside and push a finger in an yes I got very hard it was out where all could see they put in the thermometer and held it for selvral minutes if they pulled it out an something was on it from that area I got an enema

Never asked by the nurse. She just did it !

Never happened to me as a child.

Not as a child. But as an adult love to glide it in and out and twirl it.

I was never asked it just happened, twisted and pulled out and pushed in.

Yes, the nurse would do it to get it settled and in position. When taking my own, i do the same and sometimes slide it in and out.

It followed the nurse's insertion and was accompanied by adjusting it in position. She made sure to have it sufficiently inserted despite any attempt to push back!

This thread brought back vague memories of mom twisting the thermometer when I was little and getting my temperature taken. Haven’t really thought about it, but I was anal erotic from a young age - maybe this contributed to it!
