Feedback on RT experiences

If you've ever been involved in a discussion relating your latest medical experiences or temperature taking experiences and said you had your temperature taken rectally, what types of responses or feedback did you get? Was/were the person/people shocked, did not want to deal with the issue, or openly admit that this was not something they as adults had not experienced? Most people I've made mention of this to, in related as said above, discussion, said it was 'kinky", "unnecessary", alleged a "medical fetish" or as some related, an experience they (both male and female adults) had done and really had no issue with it. Would like hearing back from members here.

I like doing them the ones I have got to do on 2 of my friends ashley and Amanda... Ashley was kinda like wow this is different but she was willing to try something new and said it wasn't bad at all we did it many more times....now Amanda it took me a bit at first but when we met and I looked Atbher ass it was good looking then I got pic of her tattoo on her back but you could see her bare butt in it.. So I figured I would try my luck she said no at first then asked me why I wanted to do it I said it something I'm into and your a good friend.. And then I made a deal with her I get us something and you let me do it and she agreed and she did stick true to her word she let me do it she said it was very different but didn't hurt and that and had teased me about doing it again.

@PENS2016Champs, These ladies that you've had some RT play with... had either of them ever had an RT before, or was this the first time that they had ever remembered having it done? Was there any loud gasps or anything of that nature upon insertion?

@RTneo they said the didn't remember it happening when they were young... And no Ashley jumped a bit and Amanda just stood there with her cheeks spread and I asked her if it was in and she said yes but no gasp of air or anything

I am very selective in who I share this very personal information with aside from having posted here! Most ask why or express surprise that it is still done! Even here, there have been some responses expressing disbelief, even ridicule while others have been supportive and share that their medical experiences have also included a RT. For me, it's something that my doctor requires and it's such a small moment of the exam that it just doesn't matter now. I am passed the shock of having it taken and trust that my doctor has better thing to do with her time than to make me feel embarrassed on purpose!

As for the ladies (in my case) who were rectally temp'd, I'd say after the initial shock of knowing I wanted to take their temperatures rectally, I got various responses. "No way!", some of them , and I could understand this, when I asked or suggested it to some of them, their main concern was if the thermometer was "clean", or would a covering be put on it. I took their temperatures both ways, with a disinfected thermometer and a disinfected thermometer, sheath covered. Some ladies, upon realizing my interest based on my request related they had it done as youngsters and some as teens and young women, and were very accepting of getting their temperatures determined anally. Some I even photographed, and a number of them now on this site.

Where are your photos located?

Thank you.

Most of the people who grew up with me, knew my mother was a pediatric nurse and also knew the hospital where she used to work. It was probably one of the last hospitals to change over from mercury thermometers. Even after they switched over to Welch Allyn, they continued to take temperatures of most patients, children and adults, with the rectal probes. So, nobody who grew up with me was surprised about rectal temps. Almost all of us had either been a patient there and/or knew someone who had been there.
