Rectal temperature to start an exam

Definitely prefer it later. Like other commenters, I enjoy the anticipation that builds up. I had a play doc who, at the start of an exam, asked me if I knew three ways a person's temperature could be taken. I correctly guessed orally and rectally, but couldn't think of a third. (Through the urethra.) From the get go I knew I'd have my temp taken a few times--just didn't know when or which method he would use. It was very hot.

Prefer to start examinations with a rectal temperature.

I like it at the beginning but also enjoy when it is rechecked later in the exam.

As a patient I would like the rectal temp taken at the beginning. It is part of the vitals being taken. As the doctor it is the first thing I do with my patients. It is a very important part of the examination.

I would prefer it to happen during the exam, after things like weight, responses, etc are taken.

After chest / abdominal palpation has been done, and while on the examination table, my underwear would be taken off, and I'd be told to spread my legs and pull my knees up. After a quick inspection, a thermometer would in inserted anally, and kept in place by a nurse while the doc would very elaborately check now erect member; my foreskin, glans, urethral opening and my testicles.

After withdrawing the thermometer, it would be time for an elaborate DRE and prostate stimulation.

When I'm doing online role play, when we're doing the vitals, we always say.. we'll get the temp when we're in the area... And move on.

I´ve never had a real life play exam. but i must agree that after auscultation and blood pressure, rectal temperature is perfectly reasonable

For me it definitely set the tone at the beginning of the exam as part of my vitals being taken. It was the initial part of the "hands on" that started me feeling that much more anxious and embarrassed than I already was and the lead in for much, much more that was to come . ?

That is exactly how I would like the exam to begin.

It could be a good start especially if it were done by a different person to the main examiner This would allow the tension to fall and subsequently build again.

Our play exams is always initiated by measuring the temperature rectal with an old mercury thermometer.

I always like to start exams with questions, followed by checking ears, eyes, pulse, oral temperature, and then a rectal temperature. Its about the anticapation.

I liked my last exam started with oral when underwear came down he did a urethral temp on me then a rectal temp for comparison finished off with another rectal temp to make sure no change. the scary part was the thermometer he put in my penis was glass thick and about 8 inches long watched as he put a lot of lube on it and I thought it was for rectal until he grabbed my penis and started to work it in not quite sure I liked it but now I can't wait to try again

I always start with taken rectal temps at the start of the exam.. sometimes I wait till the end and surprise it on her that the nurse forgot to take her temp.. have her get off the table bend over spread her butt cheeks apply lube and then insurt the thermometer...

I like having it taken multiple times and ways. I think it would be cool if another person had me lay down and took it rectally then doctor had to check later. I always like when we can do a pr exam and then later move to a full fledge exam.

I always take a rectal temperature at the start of giving an exam, and like to receive one at the start of my exam.

The first time my ex and I had a play exam ,I did not start with a rectal temp. I listened to her heart and lungs,, she wore a cotton gown , open in the back. I next checked her throat and mouth using a tounge, depressor ,and a penlight. I dutifully felt her neck for swollen nodes or glands. Reaching into my lab coat top pocket I with drew and uncapped an old glass thermometer. I told her it was time to take her temp. She very compliantly tipped her head back and opened he mouth. I thin because, up to this point the exam was very modest,that she was genuinely shocked when I told her ,"it isn't that kind of thermometer. the red cheeks made it all worth it

I have never done a real role play or exam. But it would definatly turn me on. (does your wife in a nurse costume count as roleplay?)

Surprisingly my doctor has not yet taken my temp in our role play although he knows he has full access and control over me once I enter his surgery.

I guess I'm now in for a rectal and/or urethral temperature at my next appoitment!

I prefer to wait a bit. First perform heart and abdominal auscultation as well as breast exam. Build the suspense towards the first exposure of more intimate areas!

Oral and rectal temps are part of taking the patient's "vitals" at the beginning of the exam. It doesn't interfere with any of the more invasive procedures later on.

I would expect my temp to be taken at the beginning, a part of the assembly of 'vitals' (possibly by a nurse) before the full physical exam by the 'doctor'.. 😉

I like rectal temperature as first thing, because it makes the atmosphere more exciting

I enjoy rectal temps but also urethral temps. its different, invasive and exciting

I have never started an exam by taking temperature.

First i always check the bloodpressure or the heartrate and the tongue and ears.

So i think the excitement increases...... And you can do this in a very erotical way.......

Than i tell my "patients" that i'm going to take their temperatures....... Ooh i love this! ?

I prefer to build up to exposing myself, so at the start wouldn’t really work for me.

I like rectal temperature to be taken by lifting the gown slightly, or lowering my underwear while I’m facing away, just before the genital exam. Then I’m fully exposed for it.

I love when a play doctor starts an examination with a rectal temperature. It really sends the message right from the beginning who’s boss.

Definitely at the beginning to add to the anticipation and also to mirror the usual sequence of procedures at a doctor visit.

In my medfet office, RT's are given fairly early on. I agree that it should be in a standard sequence of assessments and for me, this means following the ear exam when the patient is standing and holding the eye chart. Given that he is already undressed (and potentially wearing an exam gown) I signal that his temperature is next. Since there can be some hesitation, I gently place my hand on his shoulder guiding him down to the exam table. This is often accompanied by words such as "it is common to feel embarrassment at your age, but the rectal temperature is the most accurate way of measuring body temperature ..." If the patient is in his underwear, he is asked to lower them past his knees. Once in position, I inform him that I am about to spread his buttocks quite wise. After I do this, I ask him to confirm that indeed, he feels open (and I hope vulnerably exposed). With my other hand, I place some lubricant on his anus and alert him that I will be "going inside slightly" so that he is able to receive the thermometer without friction. He needs to spread his legs and I make certain that his genitals are OFF the table so that they drop in between (what a fantastic display of submission!). This is the most common protocol for this assessment, but by no means, the ONLY protocol. Dr Nash has many ways to help his male patient understand that every part of him will be assessed, measured, touched, and closely scrutinized.

I have had a few patients ejaculate on the floor beneath them as the thermometer is inside of them (and I continue to hold their buttocks open). But, that's another story.

In my triage in my cyber clinic, my nurse makes the comment that we'll get the temp when we're in the neighborhood, later.

You'd be surprised at the various reactions.
