A lot has been said about rectal temperature comfort. There is no real physical discomfort felt when getting a rectal temperature, provided that it is taken properly. However, there may be a psychological discomfort, particularly when it is taken against a patient's wishes. For example, an eight year old boy may not feel comfortable (and feel embarrassed) about getting his temperature taken rectally while seeing his seven year old brother and ten year old sister have their temperatures taken orally and having just seen his five year old brother also having his temperature taken orally due to his age.

It shouldn't hurt or cause physical discomfort if there is a fair amount of lubricant used and the person actually inserting the thermometer, has first explained the procedure, knowing it will be your first time as well as inserting the thermometer gently, slowly and at a proper angle. Good luck.

Yelhas,
How old are you, and why "might you have to get one"?

I think the discomfort depends on the temp-taker, and the patient. I took one gf's temp. rectally, and she said it felt great. I was gentle, and used plenty of lube. She had memories of painful rectal temps. taken, even during her teens, by her mom. Getting off the subject, though, Yelhas, how do you know that you will be getting a rectal temp. taken, and what was the reason given for it ? Also, what country do you live in ? Rectal temps. are very uncommon today,especially after age 2.

Hey Yelhsa, Even if you don't "have to" have a rectal temp, I will suggest that you try it for fun. I think that you'll like the cool tingle that you'll feel in your bottom, when the thermometer is inserted and then is held in place. John, Bill, and Richard are right: it depends on who is taking your temperature, whether or not the person is gentle, inserts slowly, and has the proper angle on the thermometer. You might try KY Jelly, or a good hand lotion....those are my favorite lubricants. Having your temperature taken in your bottom is the most delicious feeling ever. Be sure to have someone take yours soon. You'll be glad you did. Then please post, and let us know how you liked it. Bottoms up! Jenn.

I agree with Jennifer. Having a thermometer put in your bum isnt painful or uncomfortable. However if it is done the wrong way it can be quite uncomfortable. You should consider trying it. Wheather for fun or otherwise. the sensation is that of a cold tingling one and is very nice. I would suggest you start with a something simple. A shallow insertion, lots of lube and a simple + comfortable position.

However rectal temperatures aren't for everybody. It may be your thing it may not be.

Yehsla,
You started a thread on the question of, do rectal temps hurt and what are they like? You've received a number of genuine replies, and some inquiries as to what prompted this concern on this board. Will you at least give us an answer on this? It would be appreciated. Last, speaking personally, I've probably had more rectal temps taken on me as an adult, than a child/adolescent, and with one exception, the procedure never caused me any physical discomfort or angst. So, let's hear from you, OK? Thanks.

Jennifer I think your completely right. The only way to truely know if you like rectal temperatures is to try it. I can be for fun or for medical purpose. It is a unforgetable feeling. The cold feel of the glass thermometer as it is pushed into your bottom and the tingle it brings is sensational. I agree with you in saying that who is taking the temperature really determines how good it will feel. They have to be gentle, letting your bottom take the thermometer, not forcing it in there and they have to use good lube. If this is all done properly then the experience will be a good one.

Rectal temperatures aren't uncomfortable at all for most adults.... as long as it's done properly. All you need is ample lube and gentle handling, and you'll barely feel it go in. As a kid I hated having my rectal temperature taken, especially by the girl at the doctor's office. And I always pitched a fit to prove it. She tended to stick the thermometer in too far, or so it felt. But when you're a little kid, a gentle 1.5" insertion with a slender thermometer feels like what a whopping 4" insertion with a thick enema nozzle would for an adult.

I have had my temperature taken rectally several times by a nurse in the er and by my mother. All times it really hurt to the point that i was crying hard. once it was taken out, i still was in pain. they both used lubricant but the thermometer was in my rectum for at least ten minutes, or, as it felt. it probably wasn't and the nurse and my mom both told me that the thermometer was inserted to the proper inch which is one. is there a reason why it hurts so much?

For me, as a kid, rectal temps hurt probably because lube was never used. Now as an adult, age 43, the glass thermometer feels good going in and it also felt good going in when I took them as a teenager and when I was in my 20's, and 30's. my mom stopped taking my rectal temps when I was 5, so I got all oral at home after that,and I only received one rectal temp at the doctors at age 13, although that one was felt a little more. I think the key is to gently insert the thermometer in your butt and it won't hurt as much. As far as a lube, only use a lube if your rectal area is completely dry. If your rectal area is sweaty then that serves as a natural lube and KY or Vaseline is not necessary. So try inserting the thermometer without lube and if you have any resistence to it going far enough in, then take it out and use the lube.
BTW- To get the optimal feeling a glass rectal thermometer is best, but if you have to use a digital thermometer, try a BD Flex Tip thermometer as that feels almost as good as a glass one. Do not use Geratherm ones as they don't go as far in and they don't feel as good.

i do not want to have my temperature taken rectally or have anyone else do it for me. it just hurts too much. i'm 37 years old now. about a month ago i was taken to the er for stomach pain. the nurse took my temperature orally and noticed that it was over 101. she then told me that i was going to have my temperature retaken rectally. i cried the whole way through and afterwards. it just hurts so much.

why is that? is there something wrong with me physically?

I don't understand why your temp. would be taken rectally under those circumstances, especially as a rational adult, who was apparently conscious and alert at the time. Is there something missing from this story ?

Nothing is missing here. I still go to my ped (I know it sounds weird) but he always ordered rectal temps. So, at the hospital, they went by what I had in my chart from my ped.

I don't know why it hurts so much - it just does.

i do not know why people young or old object to have their temperatures taken rectally if the thermometer is lubicated with k-y jelly which is my favorite because i still take my temperature rectally and i am 63 years of age and i really enjoy having a rectal thermometer sliding up my rectum because it does cause me to get an erection.

I agree with no name- and as well as causing an erecton, a glass thermometer sliding up my rectum many times causes me to feel a tickly feeling down there and causes me to jerk off and many times I ejaculate. Nothing like that feeling. As I said before,sometimes I stick the rectal thermometer up my rectum just to get that feeling , to jerk off and ejaculate. I often use the red tipped one I got from Deputy Dog a while ago to take my actual rectal temperature, and I use the MCP one from India I bought on the Internet to to sexually satisfy me. No, I'm not gay for those who want to know, but I am not married and I don't have a girlfriend and I find I need to satisfy my self sexually in some way, so that's how I sexually satisfy myself.

I never had a rt before until I was 10. I was really scared because mom gave me lots of bulb enemas and they really hurt.

Mom called me into her bedroom and I had to drop my pj's and lay on her bed butt up. I was scarred but was surprised when I felt it go in my butt. Felt smooth and cool(the vaseline) I still remember the feeling years later. didn't hurt at all. Had rt taken couple of times later with same results. Had many enemas to after 12 they didn't seem so bad.

I agree with Rich and Mike K. the feeling of the rectal thermometer is magical and sweet,provided that you insert the thermometer in your butt gently and slowly. If the thermometer is inserted in your butt too quickly and forcefully then it will hurt like rectallysore said. Also, if you try to force the thermometer in your butt when you face resistence without lube, it will hurt.That's why if you face any resistence when you insert the thermometer in your butt, use lube. If your butt is sweaty from sitting or for some other reason, and you don't use lube use your butt sweat as natural lube and insert the thermometer in your butt slowly and gently(while spreading your butt cheek the whole time you are inserting the thermometer in your butt, and stop spreading your butt cheek when the thermometer is inserted as far as you want to insert it) that way it won't hurt when you take your temp rectally .

Actually, RT's feel so cool. with vaseline on the thermometer, it slides right in. Mom was an expert in inserting the rt or enema nozzle. never seperated my buttocks. she knew where to put it. Never told me when she was ready. what a surprise feeling a coolness slide into my butt

I wouldn't say that it feels great but as long as you have a good amount of vaseline, you keep your cheeks and anus completely relaxed while it's going in,it's tolerable.I think suppositories are more uncomfortable because they're fatter and cold due to being stored in the refrigerator.

They might hurt if taken by someone who's clumsy, or if you have a very tight anus. As a child I remember being sore for awhile afterwards, but as an adult, it's incredibly comfortable. I guess much of it depends on your body size too.

Usually they do not hurt unless your recrimination is dry and there is little or no lubrication on thermometer. Also if it is inserted too quickly it can hurt. But if it is done correctly it can be pleasurable and in some cases even stimulating depending on your whereabouts and why it is being taken in the first place

I find that NOT using any lubricant on the thermometer when I insert it slowly give a much greater sensation especially when it presses against my prostrate. It is very arousing
