Who has taken your temperature rectally

Both my parents worked so I had 3 babysitter and next-door moms watching over me. Later in life I found out that mom gave the babysitters and next-door moms permission to take my temperature rectally if needed. Seems like I was ill most of the time. I was born before vaccinations so I came down with all the illnesses growing up. Mom also gave them permission to use suppositories or enemas if I didn't poop for 3 days.

The first rectal temperature I remember was given by mother on top of the changing table. I remember her lifting my legs up by my ankles and felt the thermometer inserted. After 5 minutes mom removed the thermometer. Then I saw mom pick up a tall jar and took out a long thin clear object that I later learned was a glycerin suppository. Mom lifted my legs and I felt the object slowly inserted. Mom held the suppository for about 5 minutes. Mom then pulled the suppository back out and slowly pushed it back into me. I began squirming as I felt the need to poop. After 15 minutes as mom pulled the suppository back out I pooped on a diaper. Mom just smiled at me as I emptied my bowels.

The babysitters and next-door neighbor moms did the same as detailed above. At age 5 they placed me over their lap the take the temperature and sometimes used suppositories on me. One of the neighbor moms gave me my first enema given by someone other than my mom. I began to be embarrassed as they attended to me knowing they are seeing my most private area. A age 7 te babysitters were also using enemas which really got embarrassing.

The Rectal temps, suppositories and enemas continued until age 13.

Thank you @Kathy4161 for this history which goes back sixty years and more.

When I was a child it would have been my mother, my grandmother, or the pediatrician. As an adult the only person who has taken my rectal temperature is my dom and it was horrifyingly embarrassing because he pulled me over his lap like a baby.

As a very young child, my parents. from adolescence on it was either medical personnel or myself.

My bff back in high school and more recently a play partner.

In online chats, a few more naughty people have done so 😉

As a kid, there would have been my mom, the nurses at my pediatrician, and the nurses at 3 different hospitals.

I don't think that anyone other myself has done it as an adult. Although I have had a few surgeries as an adult. It is possible that I got one while unconscious, but I doubt it. ( I did have it measured by a temperature sensor in a Foley catheter through, which is right next door to the rectum. )

As a child, all of my Dr’s nurses did.

When I was 3 & 4, the older next door neighbor girl did when we played Dr.

In my late teens, I had a girlfriend who did.

When I was in a chemically induced coma, my wife / (then girlfriend) said they took my RT every 2-4 hours.

In my older age, I’ve had ER nurses and techs take it when I was very ill.
