Held in or left sticking out?

Growing up, was the thermometer held in place between the fingers, or left sticking out of your bottom? Mine was always left sticking out, and it seemed to stay in place fine.

Id say 9 out of 10 times as a kid mom just left it sticking out.

I'm pretty sure it was held in. Not that I would ever want to push it out...but for some reason mom felt that it needed to be held in there.

I don't honestly recall at home but at the doctor's office it was left just sticking out. I do recall seeing (and often reading/re-re reading) a book on "your child's health" that had a section (too short) on taking your child's temperature. It said to hold him/her across your lap, spread the buttocks, insert the thermometer just past the bulb, and hold it in, resting your hand across his bottom and letting the thermometer protrude between your fingers like you would hold a cigarette. Now that's a reference you wouldn't hear nowadays but it sticks with me.

Sometimes held and sometimes let it sticking out. In position face down normally let it sticking out.

- Sims Position: when it not slide out i let it sticking out

- Laying on my back and legs in the air I did hold it

Glass thermometers could usually just be left, but digitals generally need to be held.

Typically left sticking out. However, if I fidget too much, the temperature taker would press down on the thermometer a bit to make it somewhat uncomfortable and hold for a few moments until I became still again.

My Mom always held it in.

Sticking out.

Mine was left sticking out when my mom would do it but I remember a nurse holding it when she took my temperature once.

Mom didn't hold the thermometer, she was too busy gently patting my bottom. i saw her do the same to my brother.

Held in and subtly manipulated/swirled. Got me turned onto a lifetime of anal experimentation/pleasure.

I remember both my mom and the nurses at the doctors office leaving their hand on my bottom. This was back in the 50s and early 60s when all they used was glass thermometers. Since they had to stay in your rectum for awhile I remember mom and the nurse having a casual conversation while I laid there with the thermometer in my butt.

When I was 12, I was completely naked and on my stomach. The nurse spread my buttocks to expose my rectum. She inserted the thermometer and held it in place. I laid there with my arms down to my sides and my head down on the table.

With me, it was always held in, but never twirled. One nurse would hold the thermometer itself in place, while another held it between 2 of her fingers and rested her hand flat on my backside. My parents would usually hold the thermometer.

Always in the diaper position and held between the fingers.

Held it in place between two fingers so her hand was against my butt.

Usually I was lying in bed with my underwears down to the knees and with the thermometer held in place so it didn't fall out...

When the thermometer is not held, I have found that it will stay in pretty well using the tummy position, but can pop out if the person is in diaper position, or if standing and leaning forward. You will have to hold the thermometer in when doing diaper position, or standing RT's.

Also when doing a otk RT the thermometer is more likely to be held in rather then if someone is laying on a bed or exam table.

Mom never held the thermometer in place when she'd take our temp. My occasional play partner always likes to hold it in place.

If you don't hold it how will you play with it ?!?!? 😃

My mother would just hold the thermometer but my farther would put it in and out and twist it

It was always left sticking in my bottom. sometimes it slid out and then my mum reinserted it.

Sticking out - but i like the pressure now on my anus when someone holds it there...

Mine was always pushed in deep and left sticking out. I remember that very distinctly. For some reason I especially remember one trip to the doctors office. I was told to remove my clothes, put up on a table covered by that soft, fluffy paper and next thing I know this very attractive nurse was parting my bottom and putting the thermometer up in me. For some reason that experience really stayed with me.

Left Sticking Out.

When I was old enough to be properly scared by horror stories of loose mercury, mom left the thermometer in.

The horrors of broken thermometers and their dire consequences were only surpassed by sticking yourself with a sewing needle. Once under the skin they travelled, doing uncountable harm along the way.

"When I take rectal temps I generally hold it in place. Always love the expressions on the faces..."

I'm no longer an adolescent Beccamommy, but I'd love you to take my temp and hold it in place.

Only held in place when I was lying on my side, but when it was with me on my tummy it was simply left sticking out.

I only remember getting rectal temps during my many stays in the hospital. The nurses would typically hold it in place.
