Basal/ vaginal temperature

What about taking vaginal temperature? we know it's useful to take daily basal temperatue for improving the chances of pregnancy but do youfind it erotic and what do you think about using it for a play exam?

I'd love it. Most instruments going into the vagina are large so something small, thin, something that might need to be held in place would add an additional embarrassment factor to the experience.

I had the vaginal temperature taken during my ovulation time, when I was trying to get pregnant. It did feel a little odd, I had never heard of this before. The doctor does have to stand right there when he takes it, as the thermometer can easily become dislodged. Even though the thermometer is small, it is still a very erotic feeling.

I agree, a thermometer in the vagina can be very erotic and feel quite amazing. I think a play doc should also teach a patient to take her own vaginal temperature and "hands on training" would be the best way.

Perhaps trying different positions for insertion and also testing the depth of insertion by sliding a gloved finger in with the thermometer. Play docs should be very thorough.

Does anyone know what is considered a "normal" temperature for the various temperature taking sites: oral, rectal, vaginal, armpit and ear?

The idea of a playdoc taking my vaginal temp along with a rectal temp really turns me on

Hi Kimberly . I read your post on vaginal basil temp taking. How were you positioned? Were you laying on your side or on your back? My girl friend says on the side tickles more for vaginal and really tickles rectally!

I think you'll find thermodoc that Kimberley hasn't logged on since September 2009 - so you'll need to pose your question maybe to others.

I think I'm right in saying that none of her regular correspondents know what has happened to her. It's such a shame because she was a good contributor. She is in my 'people I like' list and will remain so pending her hopefully awaited return.

I actully had a sub that I had , take her oral, anal and vaginal Temperature daily. She found it really erotic, but she told me to her it was a form of humiliation. I enjoyed watching her do it.

Are vaginal temps a real procedure? I had no idea, and I'm mightily intrigued!

I think it's sexy. and accurate! just watch for cross contamination when sharing thermometers with other orifices 😉

I had no idea this was a real procedure either. Does anyone know if there is expected to be some variation between oral, basal, rectal etc?

I remember having to taker her basal temps daily years ago in an effort to predict ovulation. I didn't realize they were still using that method. A couple of kids later I can testify that it is possible with accurate graphing to predict ovulation for either conception or contraception. So much the better if it can be foreplay as well.

If I remember correctly and its been 4 years, the temperature was a few degrees different, from rectal, vaginal, and oral.

I didn't really realize taking a vaginal temp could be that erotic but the way some of you describe it, I definitely understand it now.

Vaginal temps are generally not done for real. However, it soulnds absolutely wonderful to do during a medfet exam. Something to incorporate into future exams for my patients!

I can visualize all four temps being taken in play. Oral, anal, vaginal and urethra. Again, cross contamination an important thing to prevent.

After the last time I said anything about this topic (and for which I was given a shot), and before I open my yap this time, I decided to scan the Web for more information. Here is a current summary of the information which I gleaned:

In Real Life, Vaginal temp taking appears to have two common purposes: a) It is used in an attempt to determine the Core temperature of a woman who is trying to estimate when ovulation occurs during her (monthly) menstrual cycle. (This could be for either avoiding, or (more likely) promoting pregnancy.) For this purpose, it is attempting to determine the lowest body temperature of the day, assumed to be immediately after sleep cycle, and before any physical exertion of any kind. 6:00 A.M. is a commonly suggested time. The EZ Fertility site gives a reasonable description of the use, as Wikipedia does of the monthly variation in the Core temperature. b) The other typical use is of determining the Core temperature of a body. This is an alternative to 'rectal'. (As the body cools at a certain rate, if the temp is in range, the M.E. can estimate the time of death.)

As most women seeking to become or avoid pregnancy aren't likely to have their gynecologist on a sleepover, it is highly unlikely that a doctor would be called upon to use this procedure. Vaginal is recommended for the basal taking, as it is a lot less likely to be influenced by external factors (see the EZ site). When used for this purpose, it is necessary to use a more accurate thermo, one that reads to the 1/100th of a degree. There are digital thermos with the extra digit available online for less than $20. There are also glass thermos (with no mercury), but I couldn't get a look at any of them.

So, three things must be concluded:

1) Because a woman's core temp can vary depending on the time of the month, a blanket statement of whether it is higher or lower cannot be made.

2) As this temperature cycle depends on hormones, a woman taking any type of hormonal contraceptive invalidates the legitimacy of these observations, as the externally assumed hormones will override the body's natural hormones. And

3) It can still be an excellent addition to a play doctor's set of procedures.

Happy days,

Cos.

I have never had my temperature taken in any way and didnt even know you could do this!!

I'd love to have this incorporated into a play exam, but the reasoning seems a bit specious, as if vaginal temperature is a more accurate indicator for fertility because conception is a vaginal activity.

Regardless, I wonder what MY vaginal temp is?

Well I guess anxious patient there's but one way to find out your vaginal temperature.

Yes, of course, both vaginal and rectal and their companion urethral temperatures in the play scene are done for somewhat doubtful reasons.

But from the point of view of taking a vaginal temperature for the purpose of determining ovulation, vaginal is perfectly valid, especially with the degree of accuracy required.

Firstly, the reading should be taken before rising and before any form of exertion. And that, lol, means none of 'that' sort of exertion too. No doubt it's first of all easier to insert into the vagina than the anus when lying down thus minimising exertion in changing position. I understand that that is vital. And the oral/axial routes are unsutiable because they are not core temperature sites.

Secondly, I would suppose that those hundredths of a degree could be affected if faeces move down into the rectum and even when there is some fermentation etc going on.

But hey, why not go the whole hog, get 4 thermometers, none of them mercury please, at least one plastic for the urethra and then tell us the outcome (in tenths of a degree will do).

Basal temp is a legitimate measurement fertility. I must be done the same time each day preferably in the morning in bed before doing anything. getting up or any movement will spoil the temperature accuracy.

I ve never done that...

What's not to love? 😃

I'd love if a vaginal temp was taken during an exam of that area. Especially if it was with one of the digital thermometers at the doctors which uses the thin metal probe. "Just relax...this may feel cold."

For some reason, temperature-taking during a play exam never really got my engine running in the past. Not that I wouldn't do it if asked, I would just be indifferent while it happened However, funny how things can drastically change over the years.... Lately I've done a total 180 on the subject. Thinking of rectal temperature-taking by a play doc turns me on like crazy and I'm looking forward to having that done the next opportunity I have for a play exam. I also thought of how many different positions you can use to do this and expose yourself to the doctor. Then, strangely enough, I recently also started thinking on my own about....vaginal temperature-taking! I didn't even check to see if it was a legitimate procedure, whether real or fake (in my head it didn't exist....). It just seems sooooo erotic to have a doctor tell you, after taking your rectal temperature: "now I need to properly check your vaginal temperature, please lie on your back and spread your legs wide.....". Oooooohf, could there be anything more embarrassing yet arousing? And actually, for me, the thought that the procedure MIGHT not be a legitimate one during a gyno exam makes it even more stimulating and embarrassing

since it would make me suspect that the doctor is taking advantage of the situation by getting an added thrill (believe me, I've had things happen to me in the past during REAL doctor exams where I thought the doc was a bit of a perv, so this wouldn't really be unrealistic to me....). Anyway, kudos to who brought up this topic. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who thought about this. My idea is to also use thermometers that are unconventional. First do rectal / vaginal with standard digital or non-mercury glass ones and then (thinking how this would freak out a real patient!.....), whip out candy thermometers and/or horse or animal ones that are oversized and tell the patient that the first readings were "inconclusive" and that the doc needs to get more accurate readings by using more advanced instruments... (confidentially, I've just purchased a few of these hoping to put them to use real soon.....).

I am male so I have no idea what a vaginal temp would feel like. I'm willing to try it on any of my play patients (all female) and let them decide.

I would love to try this!

I would think that a clothes pin could be used to assist in holding it into place. that would free up a hand to be used else where

In a play situation its very erotic

My vaginal temperature is ALWAYS taken during a play exam - sometimes more than once!
