I am 23 and just recently figured out that I liked RT’s; quite by accident, I might add. I had heard of temps being taken that way in adults on TV, so I began to take things that resembled a thermometer and press them against my pajama-butt at night when I was alone. The sensation that I got was pleasurable. I then became curious as to whether it really worked on adults. So one night, I took one of our family’s digital thermometers, pulled my pants and panties down, turned the thermometer on, and inserted it. It registered, but did not give me the same sensation that I had gotten before.
Earlier this week, I went out to Target and bought a three-in-one quick-read digital thermometer and some generic brand personal lubricant jelly (similar to K-Y, but less expensive). When I got home, I went upstairs to my room, opened the thermometer, and read the instructions for “rectal use,” which said to “insert 1 ½ - 2 inches into the rectum.” It was at that time that I realized that I had been taking my temperature in the wrong place the entire time!! I looked up the location of the rectum, learned that it is accessed via the anus (anal opening), and then looked up the location of the anus. After sticking my finger up my anus to make sure I knew where the thermometer SHOULD go, I looked up “taking your own adult rectal temperature” and found this site. I’m glad I did, too, because I learned that digital thermometers are not ideal for taking a rectal temperature for pleasure BEFORE I used my new one. I learned instead that a candy thermometer in the butt for no less than five minutes provides a similar sensation to the true “rectal thermometer”; especially when it is twirled while it is in, moved in and out all the while in the rectum , and checked mid-temp and then stuck back up the butt.
Next week, I am going to purchase a candy thermometer and maybe a jar of Vaseline, just in case. In the meantime, I am going to have to settle for the digital that I used before. As for my new digital thermometer, I am going to use it as an oral one for use only when I have “company.”
