Which way to take a temperature would you prefer?

Rectally is the most accurate way

Rectal of course . However I've also given and had administered one down the penis . Interestingly in the subject involved his rectal temp was 37.6 but through his penis it's usually in the 35 to 36 range . Both are done using digital thermometers fully sanitised

Surprisingly, as I've never had anything down my cock, I thought the experience was pretty good

I've only ever seen Doctors take temps orally or occasionally under armpits

In my home, rectal. At the doctor, oral.

My preferred method is on my belly with a rectal thermometer. I enjoy lying still for 5 minutes with the vaseline covered thermometer inside my rear end going in cool and gradually warming up. I also enjoy the slick sensation it leaves after it is taken out. I wish I had someone that shared my interest especially when I am sick and running a fever.

On my stomach, rectally. Rectal, hands down.

Rectally .

I would certainly rather have mine taken rectally.

At the dr, I prefer it to be checked orally, at home in my room with the door locked I will check it rectally.

Rectally for sure.

A rectal temp for sure. But in today's world at the dr it will not happen. They all use what is the fastest so they can get you in and out and get to the next patient.

Rectal, of course. It's the most accurate and, for many, the most enjoyable method. But in most real-life medical scenarios these days it's not very likey to happen.

Rectally, of course. Not going to happen in a real medical setting these days, unless it's for an environmental emergency like heat stroke. But at home, it's a different story. Rectal only for me and my wife, whether sick, or just playing.

We're all drawn to a rectal temp. forum for a reason, so it seems a no-brainer as to who among us would prefer to have our temp. taken rectally. At home, I never take my temp. orally. At the doctor's, or in a hospital setting, I wouldn't allow it to be taken rectally. A rectal temp. gives me incredible stimulation, and allows me to fantasize without any negative repercussions. It stimulates the prostate, the endorphins, the imagination...AND you get an accurate reading. So far, I don't see a down side !

Rectal, either with me lying on my stomach or lying on my side.

If i don't feel well, I prefer my rectal temperature over my husband's knee. He does a great job rubbing my back while the thermometer is in place.

In real life under my arm.

but playing, must be rectally of course

Axillary temperature is so unreliable, it's a joke.

If you are embarrassed to stick it up your ass, at least use oral for a good temperature reading. There is no humiliation in that.

The fun thing is that my wife used oral (since her last childhood encounter with a glass thermometer and Vaseline), but after we started playing she mostly switched to rectal also for non-play and even if she's alone (if she needs her temperature taken I'll usually do it). It's now a habit for her.

We however keep an electronic thermometer for oral, because sometimes we want a quick reading, without having to pull down trousers etc.

Ruthiney, so sweet and yummy at the same time !

I only check my temp rectal.

Never do it a other way.

And when at doctors office or hospital must check my temp also do it rectal or let do it.

When I'm sick at home I take my temp rectally but at the Dr's office its taken orally. One time when I was in the ER waiting to be taken for surgery the nurse took my temp rectally because the Dr wanted a core temp from me before I went to surgery. But now a days they take your temp with a scanner they move over your forehead from temple to temple.

At home only rectally. I keep one of my thermometers and a small jar of Vaseline in the drawer of my night table.

I prefer rectally, but only get it that way at home.

I perfer oral temperatures at home and at the doctors. Now if I went to the doctor and I was real sick with a cold breathing thru my mouth and if I was alone and if an accurate reading was needed; I will perfer a rectal temperature. My mom will have to stay in the lobby of the doctor's office. I would try to do an oral temperature before coming to the doctor first.

Definitely rectal. When I was probably around 13 years old, I got sick. My mom took my temperature under my arm and it came back normal (I remember the screen flashing green to indicate no fever). It was weird because I was hot, and the next day, I secretly took my temperature rectally and it registered a fever. I barely get sick and take my temperature even less frequently, but ever since then, I've always thought rectal was best.

Rectally is the most accurate way for sure!

I prefer rectal, with a glass mercury thermometer. For me, oral temperatures register to low, and when measured rectally registered a fever. I have also found that digital thermometers, when used rectally also register low. a temp of 98.6 registers 99.4 with a glass rectal thermometer taken right after the other.Rectal temperatures are also more comfortable for me.

I'm going to be waiting longer than it will take for the sun to run out of hydrogen before someone says they prefer oral, axial, temporal or ear probe.

If my head is so stuffed up that I can't breathe through my nose then I take it rectally. If my nose is not stuffed up It kind of depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Usually prefer rectal temp though.

I have no problems taking my own temperature and it is always rectal, lying still on my belly with a glass thermometer and Vaseline for a full five minutes.
