Which way to take a temperature would you prefer?

Don´t want to be a spoil sport, but for anything having to do with an actual and real medical setting or with an illness or malady, I´d just as soon have the personnel use an electronic thermometer that is placed into the ear ... very much easier than anything else, even an oral device.

Play exam situations are an entirely different thing of course, whether solo or with someone else ... then rectal temps are of course de rigeur. But we should all bear in mind that this is just play, make-believe stuff, not the kind of thing that happens in a real medical setting. It doesn´t do to let fantasy intrude on real life situations.

I have to agree we don't want fantasy to intrude into real life but...there is still no question that rectal temperature is the most accurate assessment of body core temperature.

Rectally offcourse!

I have yet to try rectally, but I want to have someone take it that way.

Rectally of course.

Rectally, over a woman's lap while at least one other woman is watching and waiting her turn to have me over her knee.

Of course rectal in diaper position and with cold glass thermometer

Orally using an old school glass thermometer.

Rectally of course, preferably by a hot female nurse.

Rectally, across the knee with old fashioned glass thermometer

Rectally, while lying face down.

Rectally of course !!!

I like it done rectally.

I would prefer it rectally and that is how we do at home, at the Drs. office they do it orally, forehead or ear.

Since this is a fetish, it is only taken rectally, at home, and in private. Accuracy was never an issue. I believe that taking it orally is close enough. In a medical setting, I have never had a rectal temp. taken, and wouldn't allow it. It's sort of like enjoying the view of a Penthouse model's naked behind, but you wouldn't necessarily view it in a public place for all to see. .

I would prefer rectal.

I like rectally, too!

I have always believed rectal is the best way for all ages.

As a child the temperature was always taken rectally and after that I learnt to take the temperature rectally by my own, I prefer that way...

I perfer rectally too, and enjoy when my wife take my temperature.

Rectal is the most preferable although that probably wasn't the case in my childhood days.

If I'm the one taking the temperature, rectal, always. It's accurate and fun, whether male or female.

Depends on the setting, haha. I would be so embarrassed to get a rectal at the doctor's... but it would also be a thrill. I'm not sure.

Would definitely prefer rectally, just as others have said.

Rectal at home by myself, oral if at a doctors office or hospital.

Rectal anytime when playing, usually oral at doctors

In a medical setting I would probably prefer oral but I have had rectal temps as an adult and liked it. As I said before forehead and axillary temps are worthless. Ear temps although attractive intellectually have been shown to read low. This may be because they are reading off earwax. Pediatric hospitals rarely use aural (ear temps) now.

Definitely rectal at home, and I usually can't go more than 20 minutes without drinking ice water so RT at the doc too.

I had to admit that rectally of course. It's so invasive and embarassing. You just can't avoid that feeling. 😃

I would prefer to have my temp taken rectally, if I could only get anyone else to do it. No one except me wants to take it down there, docs and nurses included.

Are any medical professionals still making a practice of taking a rectal temperature?
