Rectal Temperatures after taking a hot bath

Has any of you members ever tried taking a rectal temperature as soon as you exit the shower? I did. As soon as I dried off from a hot shower, I got my thermometer, shook it down, held it in cold water, lubricated it, separated my cheeks, and inserted my thermometer into my rear end and leaned over the bath tub for 5 minutes. Then when my timer went off, I got the reading of 100. If felt good and cold being inserted. If you have taken a rectal temperature after a bath, what was your reading?

Even after waiting awhile, my temperature was much higher, than before the shower. I took it orally, (not with the same thermometer of course), and it was normal. I guess that the body core takes time to cool down.

Will try this and get back to you...wish I would of known and just took a shower about a hour ago after work..

I never tried that, but it sounds like a good experiment. Will try!

I have not taken it as soon as get out of the bath as its bound to be very high as i like a hot steamy bath.

My eldest takes baths so hot I am surprised she doesn't denature. You could easily poach your dinner in it.

He's probably poaching his balls.

Well ovaries

Susie: Charlotte70 was referring to a female in her post-she may be VERY unique if she's poaching her balls......lol

He's probably poaching his balls.

If it were a he I would ban baths that hot as would likely ruin any future chance of being a granny.

Ah, yes. I grew up as the younger sister with an older brother.

Memories of early experiences die hard. 😁

And has he made you an auntie or to much poaching taken its tole.

Yes he has. His children are older than mine.

Any rapid radical change in ambient temperature may cause body temperature to rise. Sweating fights this effect, but a symptom of heat exhaustion is a rise in body temperature. This is caused by the sweating mechanism failing to keep pace with the ambient heating source, usually sunlight on a hot sunny day. Failure of the sweat glands will leand to heat stroke, and probably death, if left untreated.

If anyone tried I'd like to know the results!

Yes tried it last night after taking a hot shower and told my girlfriend about your post the other day so as soon as I got out of the shower she let me put a towel on then over her knee and 5 minutes the glass rectal thermometer went in and she took the reading at 100.2 and then she spanked me and that hurt as my butt was still wet and it stung and got red quick!

Of course I did, and it works. Same after sports 😉

I’ve never tried taking my rectal temperature before and after a hot bath or shower. I have done it before and after either exercise or sexual activity and it definitely can change by almost a full degree.

I have never done this before.

You have a digital thermometer that beeps after 5 minutes? Just the way you said held it for 5 minutes and it beeped made me think it was a digital, but digital's never take that ong unless it is a beeping mercury rectal thermometer...

Caresabouthealth; I have a mercury free thermometer and I used that one to take my rectal temperature after I had a hot shower. I just inserted it for 5 minutes and got the reading of a 100. I was using a timer on my cell phone to time the 5 minutes while the thermometer was in place.

50 years ago, as a shy virgin teenager, I used to take a hot bath on sunday evening and I checked my rectal temperature before and after, noticing only a sligh increase after. On several occasions, I took my temp while in the bath and then noted a bigger increase of the temp. I used to write all the figures in a well hiden notebook, that I have unfortunately lost.

Yes I have.

Usually in the 99's the last time I did it, it was 98.0 before and 99.4 after the bath.

I've always found a high reading after a hot shower, which means that there's no reason to take your temp. at that point, expecting accurate results. I also prefer to be dry and comfortable while the thermometer is registering, not hot and sweaty. If you're hot and sweaty on a cool day, then you probably have a fever, and a real need to take your temp.

You made me curious, reading this topic, so I experienced it. Last night, I was a bit horny. I was playing a little with one of my rectal thermometers, rubbing my pussy, having a good time. When I checked out my thermometer I realized that my rectal temperature was 37.7 degrees. At that moment I asked myself how much will rise temperature if I will take a hot bath, how hot my ass will be? I took a relaxing and comfortable hot bath for almost 40 minutes. I felt my body very hot so I slowly pushed thermometer inside of my ass, and hold it inside for 3 minutes. When I removed it from my ass, it was still warm and my rectal temperature was 38.5 degrees. 😃

I did it not long ago it was 99.6

A hot shower, or sitting in a hot tub, sauna, etc., is going to artificially raise your body temp., maybe into the fever range, when you don't actually have a fever. For me, being hot and sweaty, ruins the whole ambiance of a rectal temp. I prefer to be dry and comfortable.

I took my rectal temperature after I had a hot shower and talking to my female friend and the reading was 100. Just like I post under another thread, I was chatting with my friend while taking my rectal temperature and then before signing off, my friend wanted me to take my rectal temperature again to see if the reading came and it was at 98.8.

I just took my rectal temperature not too long after having hot shower and the reading was like 98.9.

Try taking your rectal temp. after going from a cold environment to room temperature. You're most likely to get a true core temp. reading. If you're hot and sweaty, your body will have to work hard to lower your temp., or as I've said before, it will register a high temp., when in reality, you're not sick. Kind of like taking your blood pressure readings after being all stressed out. Unfortunately, this often happens during vital sign checks, and the doctor accordingly prescribes medications, even if it's a temporary reading.
