How long do you keep the thermometer in place?

5 minutes

Five mins it was always left up bottom in hospital all those years ago so always stuck to there timings with glass type but digital until it beeps

25-30 minutes with repositioning and rotation every 30-seconds. 😃

5-10 minutes.

I use one of those digital thermometers and once it beeps I usually remove it.

For a digital thermometer it's only necessary to keep it in place until the instrument registers. This is about thirty seconds at most. For a traditional glass thermometer it's only necessary to keep it in for three minutes. Some members may want to keep it in longer if it feels good.

As liquidsky said most digital thermometers are fairly fast and take about 30 seconds to register's a patient temperature. Traditional mercury filled thermometers do need to be kept in for a minimum of 3 mins , but we normally keep it in for around 4-5 mins to ensure an accurate reading.

However in my clinical environment we usually have a rectal temperature probe in situ so that we are constantly monitoring your core temperature. With the advent of catheters with a temperature sensors we have started to use these more often as the majority of patients have a catheter in situ .

I try to keep it as long as possible and move the thermometer back and forth for a better reading!

I always keep it for 3 minutes.Its good feel

I always leave the thermometer in for about 5 minutes when I use a glass thermometer. If I use a digital thermometer I leave it in until it beeps.

Three minutes minimum, sometimes up to five.

3 minutes or more, depending on what mood i am in

Taking a rectal temp during a play exam I keep it in at least five minutes or longer. Many patients enjoy the entire procedure and especially the sensation of the thermometer. Moving it around as they're holding it heightens those sensations.

I think it is best between 3 and 5 minutes .

I always leave the thermometer in for about 5 minutes when I use a glass thermometer

5 minutes for the traditional glass thermometer.

Electronic thermometer: until it beeps.

Glass thermometer: at least 3 minutes. Depends on the circumstances of the temperature taking (my wife and I sometimes take the temperature before a spanking for obnoxious humour, and the thermometer stays in place throughout the scolding).

Depends, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10, push it in and out, play with it, move it around, its all awesome.

At least 10 minutes or until orgasm.

Because I do it just for the enjoyment, I usually combine it with pictures of sexy women. If I don't reach an orgasm within a half hour, it's time

to stop, and wait for another day !

It all depends on my partner and what she likes. I'll have her pick out the style of thermometer she wants to use. Then its up to her,usually after 3-4 minutes I'll being fingering her vagina or play along in whatever way turns her on.

The thermometer was kept in place for three minutes at home when mom took rectal temperatures. My hospital nurses kept the rectal thermometer inserted for longer. When I take Susan's, she likes it in for a minimum of five minutes with lots of twirling and "in and out" movement. She can almost orgasm just from a rectal temp if it is done right.

Mom always held it in place for five minutes. For me, that was long time, especially when I was older and in high school. However, being my mother's daughter, I find myself doing the same things that she did. You just hoped that nobody would barge into the room while it was being taken, especially if you were over her knee with your bare behind in the air! Yes, that happened to me, more than once!

When I was 14, I was hospitalized to have my appendix removed. Temperatures were taken rectally, back then, just like at home. The difference was that, after the nurses pulled the curtain around most of your bed and inserted the thermometer in your bare behind, they went on to the next patient or to another room. Most of the time, they returned within 10 minutes to read it. But, more than once, I can remember being bare bottoms up-thermometer in, for almost a half hour.

It depends on the amount of arousal that we already have at the moment of insertion and play when it's in. I think normally we keep it in for 5 to 15 min. When she has climaxed (or I have) it's time to remove slowly.

If I am sick 5-8 minutes for fun 15-30

If I’m not feeling well, than my wife will take my temperature with a digital, she never learned how to read the older glass thermometers, so it’s pretty quick. If she isn’t around and I’m taking it myself than I’ll use the glass one about half the time. With the glass I will leave it in for about 5 minutes. For play we leave it in for at least 5 minutes. As a child my Mother would leave it in for 5 minutes, unless like some others she left the room and got distracted, than it could be significantly longer. Even to this day I can lie down on my tummy and with the thermometer inserted be transported back to my childhood. Right after she would insert the rectal thermometer waves of pleasure would build up from my bottom area. These would slowly grow more intense as the time passed. Amazingly I guess my little body got used to the time because these waves of throbbing intensity would climax with a final hard twitch right before my Mom would remove the thermometer. It was only years later that I realized how arousing these events where.

Today i left it in for 10 mins since i am sick have a fever of 103.0

Up to five minutes if it's one glass therm ... if it's a digital one then until it beeps... and usually is such a short while that make me miss those glass thermometers of past years...
