Ladies - Which are you more reluctant to have done: Getting a RT or Enema?

I can’t say for sure what is done in Gyno exams or general medical exams for adult females, but out of curiosity and a past experience I ask if in either of those exam settings would you be more reluctant to have your rectal temperature taken or have an enema administered? Again, that is if either was part of or needed during an exam.

My experience was years back. I wanted to take the RT of a young woman . She was adamantly opposed. I didn’t. To my surprise she said I could give her an enema which I did, but I was baffled by reluctance for a RT and acceptance of an enema.

Neither.

But if I had to choose between the two, I’d go with the enema.

Reluctant? I would have to say enema. I know it sounds weird coming from me,"I love enemas". The enema that my Gyno's Nurse gives if patients show up backed up for the exam or are dirty is no pleasure, for me, at least. Being laid knee to chest, seeing that blue 4 Litre tank of liquid dynamite dangling a balloon party rolling up beside the table after the pre-exam, makes my mouth go dry. It is a real encouragement to do it myself before showing up. I have to admit, when I am backed up with chunks, it is a relief.

This policy started after some one pooped the table during an exam. Ya I did that. She says it is for checking the lower bowel more efficiently.

I do not think she has a rectal thermometer, that's sort of not the regular anymore. Not opposed to it, though.

If I were ill, being examined, and a nurse needed to take my temp rectally, I wouldn't be reluctant. Neither would I be if the nurse told me that I was going to have an enema. I might ask why, but I'd figure there would be a reason.

When I was 22 (OMG, nearly 40 years ago) and hospitalized with critical injuries, nurses would come and go at all hours, and I quickly got over being "reluctant" to whatever they were going to stick me with or insert. I had a bunch of both. They needed to do what was necessary. You tend to forget being "reluctant" after a day or two of temps taken in the butt at 3 in the morning. (They probably don't do that now. Thankfully, monitoring is improved!)

The enema easily. I just don't get the right sexual switches flipped for me.

PS- This is a topic for the ladies so gentlemen...don't answer otherwise it may get deleted as I did with one male reply.

An enema.

Neither but I can only remember having my temperature taken anally a couple of times. I've had thousands of enemas. In fact, I am going to have a coffee enema followed by a rinse enema momentarily. "All I have to do is grin and B A R E it." My friend will do the rest.

I would have to say that I would not be reluctant with either. Looking back I have endured more invasive procedures than either of those. Admittedly, it has been many years since I have had a rectal temp, but for enemas I probably do a couple every month and actually look forward to doing one.
