Age of self temps: were your parents still taking them?

In reading posts and chatting with others it seems that a lot of us like myself started taking our own temps around our early teen years when puberty began to sink in. This is and still is my favorite form of play with masturbating. It also seems that some people also still had their temps taken by their parents during that same time period they were experimenting on their own and getting aroused. My mom stopped taking my temp rectally when I was much younger so this was never an issue. What was that like? Was it very embarrassing? Did you feel different about it when a parent did it? Did you secretly or maybe not so secretly show you enjoyed it?

My mom stopped taking my temp rectally when I was about 10-11 years old, so this was never an issue for me either. After that age I had to learn taking my temperature rectally by my self. My mom told me go to my bed and undress my underwears, while she went for the thermometer and prepared it with vaseline. She handed the prepared thermometer over to me and told me to insert it gently half the way in. After about five minutes she come back. I took the thermometer out and gave it to her for reading...

I never liked getting my temp taken and I didn't begin to like it till after my mom was stopped doing this. I remember only once that I took my own temp. Our neighbor was at the house and I was in my bed. My mom came in and said I need to have my temp taken again. I have had it done like 3 times before that day (the time was about 21) and a have had fever. I protested like always but now it was even more embarrassing because I knew our neighbor heard what was going on. After some time my mom gave op and told me that I could do it myself. So she dipped the thermometer in the jar of vaseline and gave it to me. I laid there with my blanket over my. I turned on my left side, and without she could see it, put the thermometer in. Then I turned over to my tummy. She looked at me and asked: Have you put it in? I, full of shame said yes and then she left the room. I heard she was talking to our neighbor about how annoying me protests were. After about 3 or 4 minutes she came back and gently said that it was over now. Then I gave the thermometer to her and she told me that I still had fever. The day after I stayed home but I didn't got my temp taken and few weeks after that she bought electronic thermometer that was used in the mouth or under the arm.

I used to take it orally myself in younger years, now it's rectally.

Started when I was very young, before school age. I'm not sure why. I must have remembered having it done. I quit between about 8 and 12 when I was at my grandmother s, bored and picked up a toy that resembled a thermometer. I decided to try it and liked it. After that, I'd go in grandmas bathroom, get her thermometer, straddle the tub rim (it was wide), and put it in. I didn't learn to read it until a while later.

I began to do it a lot at home,away,even sometimes at school. I enlisted my best friend who never seemed to mind doing it and would let me do it to him once in a while. As a teen, after being caught by my stepfather, I took it openly, though usually behind a bedroom door. Though more than once he arrived home to find me proudly displaying on the couch. He'd ask if I felt better then tell me to do that in my room.

He knew my friend David often helped but didn't make a big deal of it. Once, when I had David come over, complaining I was ill., He met David coming in and said I was in my room and the thermometer and Vaseline was in the closet. That surprised me.

I left his house at16, came back at 18 for a bit and he came home once to find me nude in bed with a thermometer in and David, also nude, coming down the hall with a filled enema bulb. I tried to tell him that I was constipated and David was only nude because he was changing, but he didn't buy it.

After that, he told me if I needed any medical treatments, I d have to go to a dr. David and I never did anything in front of him again

My mother always insisted on taking our rectal temperatures, even in high school, and beyond. Self-temps were never permitted because mom said they were not hygenic for the patient, Her belief was that patients might not be able to wash their hands, like after a healthy person who had just had a bowel movement. Besides, there was never any point in arguing with mom- she usually got her way or our behinds would pay!

My mother took my temperature rectally, with vaseline. Then at some age, I would say around 5-6, I was to take my own temperature. Mom would pass me the thermometer and I would insert it rectally, under bedsheets or covers. Same in hospital. Rectal temperatures were common for teenagers and adults back then in France, but of course, above a certain age, people took their own temperature themselves, except if incapacitated.

Even after adolescence, reason to my mother and grandmother had that much more precise

Yes, like mar1978, when I observed to mom that in cartoons people took their temperature orally, she said it was possible but rectal was more precise. But at least I was inserting the thermometer myself.

When I was thirteen my mom came in with the thermometer and KY. I untied my pj bottoms and rolled over. She said wait a minute you're going to take this yourself. You know the routine but I'm going to watch to make sure you do it correctly. After that I took my own temps. Frequently without my mom knowing and not because I felt sick.

I was 9

I would guess around third grade (8 or 9). My parents had stopped taking rectal temps around 4 or 5, but my brother and I " played Doctor" with Popsicle sticks or pencils. Around third grade I discovered where the thermometer was kept and began taking my temperature rectally when I could get away with it. Never got caught. Now, of course, it's only rectal for my wife and me. Sometimes ( usually) when we're not even sick.😉

I was 13 when I started taking my own temperature rectally - and my parents never knew about it! My mother stopped taking my temperature rectally when I was around five, and I never had it taken rectally at the doctor's again after age seven.

My r/t fetish was born during that last rectal temp and I developed a craving for rectal stimulation. It wasn't long before I started experimenting with different objects, trying to duplicate that incredible sensation I felt during that last r/t as the thermometer registered. At first I tried using a pencil, then on one occasion I took a toothbrush and was surprised how easily the handle slid in.

Finally popsicle sticks became the item of choice. I was able to insert a popsicle stick more than halfway in, and once it was in place, I'd look over my shoulder and admire it sticking out. Miraculously, I never got a splinter. This went on for almost five years until I finally acquired my own rectal thermometer. I actually could have bought one much sooner; I remember being at our local pharmacy at age eight and seeing rectal thermometers openly displayed.

On the day I finally bought one, I had to ask a clerk if they had any thermometers. When she asked, "Oral or rectal?", I replied, "Rectal." She took one out of a drawer and rang it up without comment. I went home and tried it out that same evening. My heart pounded with anticipation as I lubed the bulb with Vaseline and slipped it in. I remember the tingle as the bulb passed my sphincter muscle and by the time it was fully inserted, it was in about three inches. Still, I could see the end sticking out when I peered over my shoulder. It felt wonderful and was the first of many, many rectal temps over the years.

My Mother took rectal temps up to age 6 or 7 as a general rule unless we ran a high fever or she thought we "might bite the thermometer " if we were congested and not able to keep our mouth closed for the full three minutes. In the hospital as a child, my nurses in the pediatrics ward used the "rectal method " to age 12.

In my teens, I would go into the master bathroom and get the rectal thermometer mom always kept on the top shelf. I would unscrew the top and withdraw the thermometer, get the Vaseline jar , lube it up and slowly insert it up my rectum and enjoy the sensations while I masturbated into the toilet while standing with the thermometer between my cheeks. It was a blast.

I later went to the pharmacy and bought my own rectal thermometer and hid it in my bedroom.. I would shake it down, lay face down on my bed and insert it up my rear. I would recall hospital rectal temps and fantasize I was a patient again - what memories

I started taking my own temperature rectally around the age of 13

I sometimes took my temp around the age ov 12 or so but not with a real thermometer. I enjoyed finding something such as a pencil as a substitute. I guess it reminded me of the times I occasionally played doctor with somebody else.
