Rectal Temperatures Who is more reluctant to have it done?

I've often wondered whether the male or female patient, from their teens into adult hood are more prone to show reluctance to or balk or outright refuse (I doubt a teen would if accompanied by a parent-though the parent(s) my agree with their son/daughter.) to have a rectal temperature taken. Any experiences to relate from care givers who've as they say, "been there, done that (and in this case) got the reading!"?

Even as a teen boy, I had little to no say in the method for my temperature to be taken. I was not one to fuss or argue, as I was so used to it being done that way. That isn't to say I was numb to the experience, rather I was more or less trained that I would accept the rectal thermometer. I know that must sound archaic in this day and age of digital ear thermometers, but back then it was either a mercury oral or rectal thermometer. I will say I had butterflies both in the car on the way to the pediatrician and in the office waiting room when my name was called.

Clearly growing up, the nurse and doctor determined what was to take place in the exam room whether I liked the idea or not. Mom made sure that I complied, which I would to save further embarrassment from taking place, and get it over with. I always wondered if it would happen and no matter how often it took place, it's not something I ever forgot about. Butterflies then and to this day continue when told a rectal temp is required.
