How far do you insert the thermometer?

Depth of Insertion? I think it depends on the particular thermometer being used. Is it a glass mercury, a digital, a GERATHERM or a Rectal Probe from an electronic unit? I think they might have different insertion depths, but I know this much. Face down, underpants lowered, and whatever thermometer was being used, was fine by me, and I've had every type out there, resting snuggly in my bottom as my cheeks closed around them. Time of insertion? Depends on the type as well. And if I'm doing it for a fetish photo, it's a glass mercury, in but not too far, to show the young lady getting her RT taken...seeing the numbers and the word RECTAL on it as her cheeks are spread and the rod is well placed in her bottom.

I think it feels best to move it in about 75% of the length of the thermometer. That cool, slender feeling is what feels best, maybe even a little uncomfortable. Just take it slow and stop at any resistance, talk to the patient constantly. The talking is what I like most of all... "relax", "I'll take care of you", "just be still and relax".... those things all drive me nuts.

I stop when it protrudes from the patient's mouth. That is with a rectal thermometer.

How far in it would seem that that should depend on the position the "patient" is in, far enough though that it will stay anchored.

I mean if it does not stay anchored then it would not work out too well.

Halfway and held in place, especially with K-Y as a lubricant.

About an inch is right. Don't want to lose it in there! We usually move it in and out a bit to let the other person get used to it, and to think about what's coming next!

3" for both mercury glass and my Alaris Sure temp Rectal probes..

I agree about an inch......makes the patient crave for more, anticipating what will follow after the temperature has been taken.

A home health nurse coached me to insert 1.5 inches for an accurate rectal temp. Digital about 1 inch.

Fear of losing the thermometer inside keeps me from going too deep but the deeper the better for me. I also enjoy the "in and out" movement to determine the best spot. I also look forward to the thermometer being "rotated" in my anus as the nurse attempts to read the result or verify that the temperature is registering before the full time is up.

Maybe 1/2 to 3/4, more isn't possible (I'm too small I guess ^^)

My girlfriend puts it in there and usually not too far in and guess about halfway in and feels great, only time it doesn't feel good is when I been bad and she will put me in diaper position and shove it all the way in and it doesn't feel good but know it's for punishment so never try to make her go that route, only happen a few times and after each I learned my lesson quickly!.

I'm guessing that whatever the halfway mark is, would seem right. I once pushed it in too far, and had a panic attack trying to retrieve it. Luck was on my side that day...(night). I was finally able to get it out. Should you lose anything in your rectum, the medical bill will be the LEAST of your problems.

When my mom took my rectal temperature, she followed the directions on how far to insert it. I will have my pants down and over my mom's lap and I would feel the cold rod go in and stop as directed. It was no harm at all.

My mum pushed the thermometer always 4 inches in my bum.

For me is usually 2-3 cm. However it depends from the thermometer style. For the old fashion mercury one is usually 2-3, for the new digital also more.

For me it is around 2 cm - dont know how much that's in inches. The same for my wife - we have an old mercury thermometer.

Yes, i think for the old mercury style thermometers 2 cm is more or less the perfect lenght to insert into the bottom.

For myself I push it half or 3/4 length in. I guess deeper is not possible because I am so small?? When I was a kid my parents pushed in the small part. It changed when I was a teenager, because I got it half way in also of the bigger part. My brother sometimes angered me while pushing in almost deeper what sometimes hurts. At the doctors as a child there was a long thermometer, several centimeters were put in, afterwards my shorts were pushed up so there was always a feeling of pressure in my bum.

For me it's usually inserted 2/3 of the way in and left there for 5 minutes.

I have one of those ring top veterinary thermos, and I like about half of it's 5" length inserted for 5 or 6 minutes.

I don't know but the nurse at the health department told me as she inserted into my rectum I know you don't like it.

When I take my rectal temperature I usually insert the rectal thermometer in my rectum up to 5 or 6 centimeters. The rectal thermometer is very well lubricated every time I am taking my rectal temperature. I am using for that best quality massage oil, because it is the best lubricant for me. I insert the rectal thermometer in my rectum and I start to rub gently my pussy, and sometimes I put one of my fingers into my ass beside the rectal thermometer. I feel my temperature raising, I sweat and I get very horny. Other times I insert the rectal thermometer as deep in my rectum as I can, I almost pull it out of my rectum and again I start to push the thermometer in several times. Playing with the rectal thermometer using one hand and with the other hand, full of massage oil, I start to rub my clit. 😃

Last post from vennuslo, actually caused an erection. Could not describe it any better other then someone else should be doing that for you.

I usually use index finger aim for the belly and usually stop when it stops sliding in

The health department told me that it goes in 1.5 inches into rectum. Which to me is uncomfortable. But the health department told me that I have to have it done before getting vaccinated. Which means one more round of vaccines for I go on vacation this summer.

I am getting very hot reading the Vennuslo's description of taking her own temperature. it seems we don't pay enough attention to the twisting and turning of the thermometer when we're doing our own rectal temps. Even though I'm male, I can see one hand twisting and turning while masturbating with my other hand. Though, yours is the best lady. Thank you

I once had the real doctor at the hospital insist on a rectal reading, because she was sure I had a fever, but the oral was reading low.

She got a reading in about 4 seconds, and contrary to everything I've always read, she only touched the tip to me, did not even lubricate it or insert it-Just touched me with it. She was trying to be as gentle as possible I suppose. Good job she did though, I was immediately on IV antibiotics when she found I was in sepsis.

When taking your own, have you ever tried moving it around in "figure eight" shapes? I find that the best feeling of all.

I took a former gf's, temp., using plenty of Vaseline, and stuck it in really deep. She cursed me out, not because of discomfort, but because she just didn't like it that far in. Anyway, she had a tight anus, bone-dry vagina, and a personality to match. No love lost when we parted ways.

As deep as I'm told.
