Who takes your rectal temperature?

Just me, though it's always nice to have a little guidance.

To my great disappointment, I take temps. on myself. My wife's not into it. She thinks I'm not right in the head. In the past, I've shared temp. and anal play with a number of girlfriends. Oh well...maybe in the next life !

My wife takes my rectal temperature and I take hers. That is the only way we have done it since we were married 28 years ago ( and the only way I took my own for many years before that.) At first she really wasn't into it, but I told her that my paramedic training had been done by an osteopathic physician who only took rectal temperatures, and that it was the most accurate way. We got a lot of practice early on, because we had to chart her basal temperature every morning when we were trying to conceive. She never argued then, but she didn't really like it. There were many times when she would feel sick or look flushed when I asked her if she wanted me to take her temperature, but she would usually say, "No, I'm OK." In the past couple of years, however, she has had issues with her thyroid that frequently leaves her feeling sick for days at a time. I started taking her temperature regularly when she had these low-energy spells, and it frequently led to sex. Now she likes me to take her temperature, and she likes to take mine, even if neither of us is feeling sick.

Growing up mom, my older sisters, and the nurses at the clinics all took my rectal temperature. My sisters will still take my rectal temp if I ask them. Each learned the process from mom. She had told them they will need to take rectal temperatures when they have children of their own. Mom had developed a schedule so each sister would get equal opportunity when it was times for my rectal temperatures. Each sister followed moms guidance, but developed their own unique methods for my rectal temperature checks. The process was always finalized with me laying on my tummy, underwear at my knees (or removed), the glass pearshaped bulb rectal thermometer deep in my bottomhole, while one hand was resting at the small of my back, and the other holding the rectal thermometer in my bottom. Each would gently twirl, slightly withdraw, then reinsert the rectal thermometer deeper into my bottomhole. The temperature checks always lasted for 5 minutes. To this day, I can send out a group text to my sisters, and within a short amount of time, a sister will respond back with a reply for me to be ready. It's still a rush to see which sister shows. Each enjoys the procedure, and we have fun recollecting childhood memories.

I take my own rectal temperature. When I was young, it was taken either by my mother or the family doctor. Twice I had it taken by a nurse in the hospital to compare it with my oral readings. I was in my 50's at the time and too sick to enjoy it !!!

Room visitor: how old are you and your sisters?

I do most of the time but I do have a roommate, who happens to be a nurse as well, who takes it for me.

My fiance usually takes mine, though sometimes I take my own. It's usually foreplay for the both of us, though when we're actually sick we still take each other's temperatures rectally.

I always take it myself ?

Niknoks^^^A helping hand goes down a treat. 😁

I usually take my rectal temperature on my own (sometimes while surfing on this board).

However, rarely my fiance does as foreplay; she is not too much into it, but I guess I am lucky that she agrees to include a rectal temperature in our foreplay once in a while.

We usually don't take our rectal temps when we are sick, though.

My rectal temperature was always taken by my mom or dad until I was 11 years old. When I was 11, I was "an old boy" meaning I was old enough taking my rectal temperature by my self. I was teached by my mom how to make it...

No one but me. 😃

My wife and myself.

I take my own rectal temp most every morning before getting dressed. My wife isn't into it unfortunately.

I take my own. Been a long time since I had anyone take it for me. Mom was the last when I was around 8 or 9.

I take my own.

Lol, sadly no one but myself.

I, unfortunately, take my own. When I was little, my mom and her mom (my grandmother) were the only people that took it.

Used to do it myself. Since then it's been girlfriends but the woman I'm dating now does not want hers taken, but she happily takes mine nice and slowly.

Sadly I, too, have to take mine myself...usually I just do it for the feeling of having something in there, in which case I use my new Geratherm and don't even look at the reading. However, if I am genuinely feeling sick, I will take it orally with a digital thermometer.

Only when i was up to 4 yrs old by doctor.

I'm the only one that takes mine. That's not by choice, though.

I take my own and sometimes my girlfriend takes it for me.

Me, when the mood strikes, or when a certain someone tells me to over the phone or skype tells me to. But soon, that certain someone will have to do it himself if he wants MINE!! 😜

I take it myself

Sometimes myself. It has also been taken by friends during play sessions.

I try to hide my illnesses for as long as i can because my husband, my cousin- Tara, and even my daughter take turns taking my temperature. Usually, my husband does it in the morning, followed by my cousin- Tara, who takes it during her lunch break. When my daughter, 24, gets home from work, it's usually upstairs to my bedroom for yet another, "Bottoms up!", for temperature. The "bottom line' is- don't get sick in our house!!!

@ruthiney Is the temperature taking procedure extended to all the members of your group or just to you?

Most frequently I take my own. I've been considering finding a play partner locally, though.
