Is Rectal Temperature considered Kinky (fetish) Anal Play?

You know the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer……………..the taste

I want my nurse to spend at least a couple of minutes lubing with her finger making sure that it is safe for the thermometer to enter. I think that most would like this and if everyone likes this then maybe it's not kinky and it might be natural.

Most would consider sticking things up your butt for sexual pleasure a kink. If you’re taking your temp to check for a fever it’s not a fetish. If you check it regularly because you’re obsessed with what it is vice a real medical reason (daily, every other day, weekly) even if non sexual, I’d say it’s a fetish, whether you do it orally, temporal or rectal.

To me seems as though you've been put in a infantile state. Can be embarrassing and humiliating.

It’s also the most accurate way to take temps. It’s a pleasure as well.

If you’re using a thermometer for anything other than measuring body temperature, or inducing a bowel movement, then yes- it’s kinky.

Yes, many consider it kinky. Its about more than just inserting an element in a hole, its abt control and regression and thats where the kinkiness comes in

If you're an adult playing with a rectal thermometer in your or somebody else's ass, it's definitely kinky. I have taken rectal temperatures on lots of men. Almost none of them have ever had their rectal temperatures taken as adults before. One guy flat out excitedly told me how kinky he thought it was as I was taking his temperature. Another guy, who was a medical doctor, exclaimed to me how erotic it was. For me, a rectal thermometer is like a sex toy. But it's not simply the thermometer itself that turns me on. It's all about a man's ass. There is nothing as sexy as a man's ass - every part of it - the cheeks, the crack, and the hole!

Yes, for me this is foreplay on medfet ground.

Anything "anal" these days are considered a fetish thanks to digital technology. As a "boomer" there was only 2 ways of temperature taking. Orally and...GULP... as kid's, rectally. Both of which were mercury driven and required a 3 to 5 minute wait time and to BE STILL / QUIET.

If you were home sick coughing, Mom usually resorted to the anal. Her making me turn over, my jammies being pulled down, the cool air hitting my ass cheeks getting spread, then the lubed thermometer getting inserted...yeah, kinky.

The 3-to-5-minute wait with Mom at the bedside holding / moving the thermometer around to keep me from pushing it out was another, as it stirred up my anal interests.

Then the dreaded outcome. A fever over...,, blank and calling the doctor usually meant an enema before he arrived, or Mom giving one at home before an office visit.

Rectal thermometers are kinky.

I'm sure @AnthonyRT could give more insight to this than myself. For me, I do find it rather erotic. Just tonight, we were envisioning a role play scene of the doctor coming over for a home visit, so hot. I was feeling very feverish. Anthony was out but the doc still made the visit. Once he came over and got set up, I crawled on our exam table in the knee-chest position....legs spread, butt in the air, fully exposed and vulnerable. The doctor lubes the thermometer than my anus, while I reach behind and spread my right butt cheek, anticipating him filling my rectum with the thermometer. I wonder what's taking so long, then look behind and, as I do, the doctor shoves the thermometer deep in my butt. I moan in pleasure and the story goes on. To me, rectal thermomenter taking is kinky, and I'm happy to oblige the fantasy. ☺️

I cannot remember ever having my temperature taken rectally. Would be more than happy to experience the process in order to help me decide, but as I am sure I would enjoy the experience, I suspect that answers the question...

I always enjoy it turns me on as well just being treated like a baby when I’m sick. Down comes the onesie then diaper and and placed in the diaper changing position. Stubby thermometer comes out and gets inserted for a good 5min

If you have to ask , then you know the answer , for at least 20 years you have thermometers that can take a forehead reading and convert it automatically, the only time I can think of a rectal core being needed precisely is sleep studies and cases of hypothermia aside from that is basicly fetish play .

Lets see-- Big oblong glass thermometer, along with a thick candy thermometer. When I slide them in, I like to hear moans and have her tell me it feels good. I move in and out and twist the glass rods. Other than that, is that kinky?

To me, the rectal temp taking is all fetish/kink now... It's interesting that with animals, that's the only way the temp is taken, which is considered normal, but for people, it's a kink! I enjoy it when a play doc puts one up my ass!

Times change. 40 years ago in the hospital when I had facial reconstructive surgery, nurses took my temperature with a rectal probe like clockwork every few hours, even during the night. Then when I got home, the first afternoon I remember the wonderful visiting nurse who cared for me, standing by my bed shaking down a glass thermometer and asking my husband if we had any Vaseline!!

Nowadays, advancements in temp monitoring, might even make that home rectal a bit kinky?

Just an opinion, but given your case because of your condition the route used was medically indicated?

Yes medical technology has come far but there probably are those medical circumstances that warrant rectal temperature monitoring and even at home by a visiting health care person, so I wouldn’t think it as kinky or fetish related.

@OverRainbow "Just an opinion, but given your case because of your condition the route used was medically indicated?"

Among other bodily repairs, I required facial reconstructive surgery. For over three months after the accident, anything I could "eat" had to fit in a straw. Lol. I had to be taught how to swallow, and it was painful.

In its day (nearly 40 years ago), I'm sure they felt the route was medically indicated. Likely today, they'd use less invasive means.

What I remember, in the ICU for 24 hours, they placed a tiny sensor into my rectum that monitored my temp continuously. I was so drugged up at the time, I didn't know it was there until a nurse removed it.

Transferred to a med-surg patient room, nurses tools rectals with an electronic probe hooked to a unit beside the bed. It was uncomfortable being turned on my side, but the probe took only 10 to 15 seconds until I heard a beep. Sometimes a nurse would do a temp check in the middle of the night, but with the sleep medication they gave me, I was only faintly aware what was happening.

When at home, a visiting nurse started by taking axillary (underarm) temps with a glass thermometer, and it worked OK. That changed on the third day when I started getting terrible headaches and a low-grade fever. Then she wanted it taken in the butt and also trained my husband to do it. They got to laughing, and I got sooo upset at them because it hurt so much to laugh.

My husband joked that he never knew someone who had such an intimate relationship with a thermometer. By the way, we still have that thermometer, and it's still spot-on accurate.

Thanks Vicki- good to know you can look back and joke w/ your husband.

Definitely the best for accuracy and maybe a little kinky.

Is the pope Catholic? I think that just a glance at this forum provides an answer to the initial question.

I think we can summarize all discussion by "it's a matter of context".

Take a baby's temperature rectally with an electronic thermometer? It's actually often recommended to do it this way since other forms of thermometers are difficult to use on babies and may give unreliable results. Not kinky.

Take your 5 year old son's temperature rectally in 1978? This was the method that was commonly advised for children back then, at least until they could hold a thermometer safely under their tongue for extended periods of time (US) or stick the thermometer in themselves (France). Not kinky.

Take your adult partner's rectal temperature? Even if you say this is for reliability, there is absolutely no reason why an able-bodied, sane adult would need another person stick a thermometer up their behind if not some form of play. Kinky, but I think in a fairly harmless way.

Take your own temperature rectally when you know you're not feverish? Kinky, but again harmless.

Not if you’re reminiscing about childhood RTs. Being young was, and sometimes still is simply inherent of the procedure.

When you become old enough to connect and relate it to being erotic, then certainly it’s kinky!

If you look at some pictures of rectal temps. on the different sites, along with the captions and backgrounds, then it would seem like most people would associate them with being kinky, and not for accurate measurements. Maybe it’s due to a cultural shift between how often they were used decades ago, as compared to today. In America, it’s probably seen more as a taboo, or as a sign of being gay. I don’t think that most mainstream people are attracted to the idea of assplay, involving a rectal thermometer. I would be hesitant to bring the subject up with a female friend, unless I knew them intimately.

I was brought up with rectal temperatures! I think in people of my generation (French born 1970s) it would be normal.. but old-fashioned, to take one's temperature rectally! What I think would raise eyebrows is if you do it for sexual play! And I think it would be worse with younger people I think because they were not brought up this way!

It's kinky only if you think it is.

Most women that I know think that it is kinky. So what. I think so much sexual pleasure is lost because some of

the fetishes that are so enjoyable are frowned upon. The problem is finding a partner that enjoys RT and ass play.

I would suggest to anyone entered into a relationship with a man or women discuss. Or there may be a life of

sexual frustration.

In theory that is all good and well, but how does one go about discussing fetishes with a potential sex partner?

Start too soon and you end up scaring them off or having them think you a disgusting pervert they never want to see again. Wait until a vanilla sexual relationship has started and the same could just as well happen.

Even starting a vanilla sexual relationship can be hard to accomplish for most people.

Thinking back reading about common medical practice in the early years of the 20th century, rectal was preferred in many hospitals. Nurses would wake patients to take vital signs, including a rectal temperature. And if a doctor made a house call for an ill member of the family, he or she would often take the patient’s temp in the behind. When did this start to be kinky?
