Siblings rectal temperature

As the oldest of five kids, I saw plenty of bare bottoms get mom's ping pong paddle- or thermometer.

My sister and I watched mom take our rectal temps most of the time. We didn't have much privacy in our house and it wasn't all that uncommon to be laying on the sofa, watching TV while home sick, with a thermometer in our butts.

Yes. It was always me getting it there. We had one TV and that was in the living room. If I felt like I had a temp Mom would pull down my panties and slide a well-lubed thermometer in me. Then if she was cooking she would tell my sister who is two years older to hold it in me. I would always push it out and my sister would push it back in. Then we would giggle. This would go on until we heard the timer mom had set in the kitchen. We knew she would be right in to take it out and read it.

Yes and on the receiving end, especially for physicals with no concern for my modesty

My brother and his best friend that lived with us at the time saw me getting my rectal temp taken at pediatrician. It was at our back to school check up, I was 10 years old and they were five years older than me. Well we all get there and my dad brought us my mom had to go out of town. They call us all into the exam room and they start doing the preliminarie of weighing us and listening to our hearts when the nurse feels my forehead and ask my dad if I have been running a fever. And he said yes I had been running a fever last week. And the nurse asked what was his temperature then and how did she take it. And dad said I believe it was 101.6 and she took it rectally. And I was so embarrassed that he said that in front of my brother and his friend. And she said okay well I'll confirm with Dr Miller and then she walked out of the exam room. When she came back she said to my dad helped me to get his pants down and up on the exam table for Dr Miller and she unbuttoned my pants and pull them down and Dad lifted me up onto the table oh my stomach. As my brother and his friend watched , the next thing I know Dr Miller came in grabbed the thermometer off the cabinet shook it down and put some some lube on it, parted my cheeks with his thumb and forefinger and stuck the thermometer up my butt. Then he washed his hands, and got another thermometer shuck it down and placed it under my brother's tongue and and the same with his friend , they were sitting in chairs with thermometers in their mouths while I was laying on the exam table with a thermometer in my butt. And I laid there for 5 minutes at least and I know I had a tear in my eyes from the embarrassment. Then the doctor came in and pulled the thermometer from my butt and and read it. And talk to my dad about me going into the hospital to have my tonsils out and setting up a time. Where my rectal temp would be taken many more times throughout the hospital visit..

As I mentioned previously, I saw my sister having her temperature taken rectally at our pediatricians twice. I also saw my cousin getting an r/t once. It was during our first visit to Montreal when I was five. I walked into his room one morning and he was lying on his bed, pajama bottoms and underwear down, with a thermometer sticking out. His older brother did the honors. I didn't ask any questions and left the room, and we never talked about it afterwards.

I was babysitting my 9 year old sister she went to bed and A little later she yells that she wants water and had A tummyache i went to her bedroom and asked her whats wrong im sick she said i feeled her head and said your not making this up ore ill spank you (i was 20) no she said allright im fetching the thermometer i Came back and said roll over no not that wat she says mummy does it under my arm roll over and quick she rolled over and i rolled her nightgown up and slided down her panties i slipped the thermometer inside and waited and watched after 3 minutes she had A slide fever and i was All over

No siblings but I often wondered about the very private moments that some siblings have shared. What I also have wondered is Do the siblings later discuss it or is it too private or embarrassing to discuss? Do any siblings discuss such memories as adults later in life?

In a jokey context yes between siblings as adults would make reference to parents RT method if say my brother was not well would advise not to let mom know, never told old for the RT even now as adults.

My sister and I will, on occasion, talk about our rectal temping escapades.

I saw my brother getting his temperature taken on several occasions over the lap of my parents, I'm sure he also saw me getting my temperature taken like that.

Yes, many times. Even for adults who are not with it. If one of us is sick and has a temp that is how we take it. My sister, her girlfriend, and myself.

Yes; we all got the thermometer in our bottoms every morning and after dinner. Mom had us lie across her bed or on the floor knees to chest if we were watching TV. At the Doctor's, it was the same. We were 2 to an exam table. We never really spoke about it as we all thought it was a normal occurrence.

@Laura41 Why was your rectal temperature taken regularly? How old were you at the time?

My mom was always afraid I'd catch something. She took hers the same way too but I never saw her, my grandmother told me. Temps in my bottom never stopped, it was the only method of getting an accurate temp and only way my temp was taken. My mom continued to take my rectal temps into adulthood. Then my ex and her would share the task along with my doctors. I was never any good with oral temps and did not like them.

@Laura41 That sounds very intimate. You and your sister were always measured at the same time? Next to each other on your stomach, I assume? With your pants pulled down? Was it really just their mother's concern or was it arousing for her too?

@rectemp Yes, my sister and I were taking the thermometer side by side on our stomachs at the doctors and we were naked from the waist down. At home it would be one of us at a time or both in the knee to chest position if we were watching TV. I believe it was true concern as she was a germophobe but since my grandmother took my mom's the same way, maybe its all she knew. i just never saw my mom taking the thermometer; my grandmother and aunt told me.

No, I was the sibling who always got their rectal temperature taken because I wouldn't cooperate. And it would normally last longer because I would move around too much. Sometimes my nurse would take mine 2 or 3 times, She would tell me that she couldn't get a reading do to my excessive moving.

There was also one time when I caught my mother taking my brothers rectal temperature. I thought it was so funny that it was him & not me that I laughed. Which resulted in my mother then taking my rectal temperature.
