Candy Thermometers

This sounds very fun although I read mixed reviews about using it. So I wonder...

Do people use it? Is it safe? Suggestions?

The candy thermometer is safe and fun. It feels better because it is much larger than the standard rectal thermometer.

I have several of these, and it surprises and delights the gentleman when he realizes how much more fun is mine than the one he has provided.

For years we used a candy thermometer as part of our enema and medical role play scenes, but have since learned from instructors in the kink community that candy thermometers are a bit risky to play with. Ideally, I am going to track down a glass workers that can custom make me some over-sized (almost comical) fake thermometers out of glass so we have a safe alternative when we want a thicker thermometer that provides more stimulation.

Would love to know what they said was so risky about it, please.

I'm going to guess it could be unsafe if the glass was thin and broke while in use.

Candy thermometer glass is not like the glass of a standard rectal thermometer in both density and thickness of the material used. It would be very easy to have one break while inserted, and I never want to explain that to a MD or RN in the Emergency room. Sure I have used a candy thermometer in the past, and it worked, and it is fun, and I never had a problem...but...better safe than sorry is how I play. Honestly, no wonder some ladies won't play with some guys...they are smart enough to avoid glass shards in their bums! LOL! Seriously though, I don't want to win a Darwin Award. If you want to take the risk...be my guest. I just can't condone it.

Okay, I hear what you are saying, but maybe you play more roughly than I do. I am very careful and gentle and I do not leave my patient unattended while it is inserted. My candy thermometer is quite thick as it made to be clipped to the side of a hot pot containing boiling syrup at 340 degrees. But, I respect your advice and thank you.

Any recommendations on where to buy a quality candy thermometer? Also, are they safe to use as a rectal thermometer for my own pleasure?

Remember that some ppl have posted warnings about them.

I asked the person who posted the warnings and they never did tell me what it was that they learned in their bdsm class.

I was assuming that breakage was the issue, but I don't play rough, so that would not be a problem and as I said before, I would not leave my "patient" unattended so it would not be an issue of them rolling around and either snapping it or driving it in further at the wrong angle.

I had one of those shatter when I was washing it. I'd used it to make candy and washed it right away so the candy wouldn't harden. It just plain shattered...no bumping or hitting it on anything. I'd be afraid just pressure from squeezing it to hold it in could cause it to shatter.

May I suggest an alternative that is a lot safer than a candy thermometer? It's a glass industrial thermometer made by Taylor. Comes in a little pocket case with clip, and has a permanent cap so it can't get lost where it isn't supposed to. It's also quite a bit thicker than a standard thermometer and about two inches longer, and very accurate in case anyone is actually interested in the temperature. Go to www.taylorusa.com then to "industrial products" then to "specialty devices." They list a couple of different models. I found mine in a nautical supply store of all places, and it is perfect, believe me!

Veterinary Thermometers work well. They are a bit wider, and a good inch or two longer than a standard rectal thermometer. Finally, (and most importantly) they are safe to use.

Dear Lady Di,I did post what I learned in the BDSM medical play class under the last section on candy thermometers. The glass is too thin to support the strength of many people's anal sphincter muscles, and eventually, one will break during anla play, causing serious physical harm. Now, while I don't "play rough" (quite the contrary) or engage in unsafe BDSM practices (like leaving people un-attended), I still think the slightest error or momentary mistake can be disasterous, and I don't want to hurt myself or a partner. Also, I am not explaining that one in the ER/Naughtydoc

Www.tractorsupply.com sells a rectal termometer(in a carded 2 pack) that is an inch longer than a regular rectal thermometer but much safer than a fragile candy thermometer. Its in thier livestock section.

The reason it shatter while you were cleaning it off was due to thermo shock. Cooling the glass too rapidly causes stresses due to rapid uneven contraction of the glass. As with most things, one must use risk management when playing with such items.

My Bf recently agreed to play doctor with me...i didn't have a rectal thermometer ..so he went to the kitchen and got my large glass one for making candy..i have to say it was quite a thrill have that shoved in my skywards pointing bottom.

Having been anal erotic since puberty, I always enjoyed having my temperature taken rectally. One weekend when I was about 15 and home alone I was looking for a whisk in the kitchen and came across the candy thermometer. My curiosity about how that would feel got to me. A quick trip to my bedroom provided the answer - it felt wonderful. I am recommending that everyone give this a try. - Vicki

The only times ive had my temp taken rectaly was with a regular thermometer, digital or glass, but never a candy one

Besides a rectal temperature, it is important to also take a vaginal reading.

A candy thermometer works well for this procedure. 😉

Yes, I love candy thermometers. I have two...a glass one and a metal one...and I love them both.

I agree a candy thermometer can be a pleasant experience. This is one of the procedures that I ALWAYS include when interviewing for future play patients as being anal erotic is always up there on my list. My goal is to wring out the maximum number of orgasms each visit. It seems that it is always uncomfortable for the patient to get turned on while being examined-- and sooo much fun for me. There are always many other items to be found in the average home that will also be fun to try also. An open mind and some lube then .... How about a turkey baster for example for a quick enema to start things off. I am sure that you can think up many others.

have fun

play safe

respect others

Candy thermometers are very thick, and meant to hold up to much more abuse than even a standard rectal thermometer...so they are quite safe.

The downside, however, is that most do not work properly until they reach close to boiling....so using them for a real temperature is not exactly ideal.

I have two candy temps: one that I only use for RT and one that I only use for vaginal temps. A lot of the ladies have loved it when I've asked them to roll over on their back, inserted the RT and then the vaginal at the same time. Then I try to get a rhythm where one is pushing in as the other is being pulled back out and then vice versa. Can be very exciting with the right lady.

Is there any candy thermometers that would read a lower temp. reading? It makes it that much more fun when its accurate.

I bought my Play Doc a Candy Thermometer for a Christmas present.

Guess where the first place it was used. Thats right in my tight fanny.

Did you know that a viganal temp is one degree less than a rectal temp?

Where I can get candy thermometer ???

At most kitchen supply stores. I bought mine in the kitchenware department of Sears.

One new thing I have introduced to my enema experiance is taking my temp before my enema. The other day I was in a local cooking supply store and going the biggest candy thermometer I have ever seen. It is almost 1inch thick and 8 inches long. The thing is pure delite with it's harden glass casing ang old school red mercury red meter. I love running under ice cold water and leaving in my bum for 5 to 10 mins. Gets me so hot before my enema treatment. Try it guys
