Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 06:27: pm In reply to: kenw 's message, "Re: Rectal thermometer" on Sunday, March 12, 2023, 04:48: pm Hi Ken, I also had my temperature taken rectally as a kid in the '60s and '70s. We only had one thermometer in the house and it was a rectal thermometer. My mother would usually be the one taking my rectal temperature. I think she took my rectal temperature until I was 9 or 10. My older sister had a developmental disability so my mother continued taking her temperature only rectally through her adulthood. I have also taken my sister's rectal temperature occasionally. I don't think my sister ever had her temperature taken orally. My father took his temperature rectally as well and there were a few times when I took his rectal temperature for him. I also played doctor with friends when I was a kid, but it involved inspecting each other's asses and dicks. It never occurred to me to take each other's rectal temperatures. Since my teens and early adulthood up until now, I have continued taking my rectal temperature frequently, but only for pleasure. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 07:33: pm Not a problem! One of the other things I've always enjoyed is peeing outdoors. My friends and I did it all the time as kids. My father always preferred peeing in the bushes or against a tree when we went to parks. I still like peeing in the bushes or behind a tree whenever I'm in a park. Although my area is in a suburb of New York, not at all rural like South Dakota. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

When you wrote that you had your rectal temperature taken until your teen years, exactly how old were you? Was it your mother or father who took your temperature? That's one of my regrets. If I had to do it over again, I would want my mother to have continued taking my rectal temperature in my teens and throughout my adulthood. My father, too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: kenw [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 09:41: pm My mom or my gram, dad never took my temp. As to how old, I never minded RT so pretty much till I left home at age 18. As I said, we only had rectal thermometers in our house, I'm sure mom and dad took their temps rectally too. My doctor's nurse asked at age 13 if you wanted oral, I just let her take it rectally. They didn't even have oral thermometers in the exam rooms, the nurse had to leave to get one, if you wanted oral. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My mother stopped when I was 9 or 10. But my sister, because of her disability, always continued to have her temperature taken rectally through her adulthood. Not only at home, but at the doctors' office and at the hospital. This includes male nurses who have taken her rectal temperature. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 10:28: pm Do you ever have someone else take your rectal temperature for you? I'm talking about now, not when you were a kid. In reply to your comment about enemas, I do know we had an enema bag with a hose and nozzle attachments at home when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I have no recollection of my mother giving me an enema. I'm sure she must have, but I just don't remember. I have seen her give enemas to my sister a number of times when she was in her teens and as an adult. I would pass by my sister's room and see her lying on her side with the tube in her ass. She did not get enemas often. But once a month, my mother would give my sister a vaginal douche to clean out her vagina after her menstrual period. My mother used the enema kit but attached the longer vaginal nozzle to the tube. My sister would be in bed on her back with her knees bent up and her legs spread and the nozzle in her pussy. This is something I witnessed countless times over decades. Just like seeing her ass when she had her rectal temperature taken. It was no big deal and wasn't shocking. My sister was sick much more frequently than me. That's why she had her rectal temperature taken so often. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'm not gay but never had any lady friends over the years that were interested. My college roommate also got RTs at home, and we did take each other's RT a few times for fun and also if sick. that's about it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 10:50: pm I take my rectal temperature almost every day. Always with a glass thermometer with a stubby bulb or a pear-shaped bulb. I prefer not to use Vaseline since my asshole is already moist. I do not like the digital thermometers. You can't insert them far enough. They're no fun. I have a Geratherm glass thermometer but I don't use it because it's difficult to insert without lubricant, and with lubricant, it keeps sliding out. The old fashioned mercury thermometers with the rectal bulbs are anatomically correct and the only ones I like. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I don't like digital or the Geratherm ones either. I don't give myself enemas all that often, though I do have a Bag and hoses, and pipes. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 11:14: pm When I take my rectal temperature, I lie on my side and insert the thermometer at least half way or three-quarters of the way. What about you? And do you ever get poop on your thermometer? I love enemas but they are a lot of work. Would rather have someone else give me enemas. One of my fantasies is to give myself and someone else an outdoor enema. In a secludes place in the woods. That would be hot [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, March 12, 2023, 11:35: pm Ken, how deep do you insert your thermometer in your ass? Also, what is your favorite position? I almost always lie on my side. And I insert the thermometer at least half way or three-quarters. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I usually do it standing in the bathroom. it’s very rare i will do it laying down. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, March 13, 2023, 12:57: am Thanks for sharing, Ken. I've tried taking my rectal temperature standing up a few times. That was a long time ago. You refreshed my memory. Another thing. I believe a thermometer is actually 5 inches long. I always thought it was 4 inches until I measured it with a ruler several months ago! As far as inserting, I just like the thought of most of the numbers on the thermometer slipping into my asshole while I take my temperature. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Ken, I was wondering how you felt about your nudity in front of your mother when your rectal temperature was taken as a teen. Also, as you began to mature sexually, did your pubic hair and other body hair become an issue of modesty for you? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It's why find posters on here saying they were embarrassed at age 5 etc. 5 years, ya right. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Rectal thermometer Author: Kalib [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, March 31, 2023, 10:31: am The veterinary, five inch glass rectal thermometer has been ideal for taking the rectal temperature of an 8 to 10 year old not considered capable of responsibly managing a glass oral thermometer placed in the mouth. It allows deeper penetration and firmer contact with the lining of the rectal interior more so than a standard four inch glass rectal thermometer in that age group. By removing the glass ring off the non-entry end and shaping and polishing it off to a slightly dull point, it looks to be a larger and thicker, four inch glass rectal thermometer. The non-entry end also makes a larger presentation of the non-entry end when in use. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
