Have you seen other people taken rectal temperature?

Yes when I was in the hospital at age 6, I was in a double room. We got out temps taken every 4 hours rectally. I shared a room with another 9yr old boy. His arm was in traction so when the nurse came in she would have to roll him over slightly on his side away from me. She would come in roll me over and slid the thermometer in me then go over to him. I was able to watch as she rolled him and inserted the thermometer into him. Then she would leave for about 5 minutes before returning.

Here in Argentina dont have privacity, when i was a girl .

The room not tapeworm drapes and temperatures were without privacy. We could not see details but if it was easy to watch the procedure

Several times.

My 3 yrs older brother, but often I left the room because I was annoyed on his discussions before measuring and scenes he made during it...

In hospital when I was 10 I shared the room with 3 other boys (11-14)so in that time I saw them getting the massive lubed thermometer in their bums three times a day, and of course they saw me measured, too. First I wondered why the other boys had a wet looking area at the sweat pants, till I recognized that I had the same esp after sitting: a lot of gel was used for the thermometer and afterwards it was not cleaned up...

When I was in hospital at age 13 I shared the room with a 15 yrs old boy who first wanted me to scare about getting a thermometer in the bum. But I found out, for him it was the bigger problem to bare the bottom and let them stick in the thermometer. He always mentioned he had a girlfriend and don't want to "turn gay" because of the measurings. So at that age I asked myself why I had more emotions to boys than to girls, was a confusing time for me...

And when I was in hospital at age 16 (I read it already in other threads why) I had to share the room with an 12 and 13 year old boy. The younger one obviously had no bigger problem with RT, only moaned while insertion, things like "oahhh please not so far" or "wow is that cold". The 13y.o. started discussing every time, but always he lost that battle,so at the end he nearly cried when the thermometer went up inside his bum...

But besides that there were no other situations.

A few times i saw my friends daughter get it done to her. She's 3 now last time was like a year ago in the emergency room.

My younger brother when we played doctor and took each others temperature rectally.

I have seen two other people get their rectal temperatures taken and both of them have seen me get mine taken. My sister is two years younger than me and if one of us was sick and had our temperature taken in the bedroom, it was done in private. However, if one of us on the family room sofa for a rectal temp, the other was usually in the room playing or watching television. There was also a few times at the pediatrician where we both got our temperatures taken in the bottom.

My best friend Rick, and I usually came down with strep throat every year at the end of April. In April of 1976 when this happened, Rick's mother had just started back at work so my mother took both of us to the pediatrician. We both got our temperatures taken in the bottom in front of each other. Fortunately for Rick, my sister was playing at a friends house and was not with my mother in the exam room.

Saw my cousin a couple of times when I weekended there,my Aunt did it on his bed on a towel,we shared a room.

I have a nice memory of the days when I was a camp counselor. One of the boys in my group (he was 10) was not feeling well.. I took him to the camp nurse and she wanted to take his temperature. The nurse was very surprised when the fellow said he only had his temperature taken rectally. He pretty much insisted on the method. I was in the room and got to see her lay him down, lower his shorts and undies and take his rt.

I was amazed how he chose the method. I think the nurse, who was pretty young, was almost embarrassed to do it. It was very interesting to see the whole scene unfold.

My bother and I shared a room till we were older , so I saw mom take my brothers temp and he also saw mom take mine, this was the 1960's. I also saw my 10 year old friend have his temp taken, actually by my self when we did RT play, while his mom was away from the house and we got the thermometer out of his bathroom, he also took mine. I grew up on a ranch in South Dakota so I also saw animals have their rectal temperatures taken by my father, and also by my self. So yes as a kid I saw many rectal temps taken.

I've been to a Pro Domme and watched her take rts on three different girls while I watched. Lots of fun but hardly the domestic setting this thread addresses. Never watched any other times.

My younger brother when we played doctor and we took each other's temperature rectally.

The memory that stands out for me, was about 20 years ago, i went with my wife to visit her girlfriend in the hospital. We were there for a while, along with her husband talking. A nurse came in with a thermometer, and handed it to the girlfriend, and much to all of our surprise, the friend didn't ask us to leave, but just turned onto her side and inserted it (under the covers) into her bottom. She said "sorry, but this is the most accurate way" and lay there with it inside her for a few minutes. Although I didn't get to actually see anything, it still was very exciting and left little to the imagination.

I have not seen another adult have a rectal temp taken, but I have seen it happen to a child. When I was about 19 years old a friend of mine asked me to pick up her 5 year old son from daycare and take him to the doctor. She had to work late and was not able to take him herself. When the nurse walked into the exam room she asked me how old he was. After I told her his age she asked me to remove his clothes except for his underpants, and then she left the room. When she came back she told him to climb up on the exam table and then she pulled his undies down and took his temp. He never complained or said anything. After the thermometer was in place she again left the room and came back a few minutes later to remove the thermometer. That was the first time I witnessed something like that....it was about 1970. Of course after I was married and had kids of my own it was not uncommon in our household.

On a few occasions, I saw my nieces and nephews get their temps being taken rectally.

Yes many times. And I been seen many times getting mine done.

I have seen it done to my brother a couple of times when he was little..

I remember mom lining us up on her bed and doing one after the other. There was no getting out of it.

Candoc , knowing that the your wife's girlfriend was lying there with a thermometer between her cheeks while you were visiting in the hospital must have been exhilarating. Especially that she had inserted it herself.

Well I used to play with a ProDomme. She would take my temperature.

in front of her playmate (female) then take playmate's temp in front of me. I put the thermometer in playmate's bottom a time or two.

I really wish I could see such an amazing scene with maybe a friend of mine!

I remember one time when I was around 13, I was staying over at a friend's house, and while on my way out of the shower, I had to exit through his parents bedroom. To my surprise, and excitement, his younger sister, who was around 12, was laying on the bed with a thermometer in her butt, while the mom was downstairs. She was a very pretty girl. That image has stayed with me for decades, and still makes me horny.

My younger sister and I saw each other getting our rectal temperatures taken numerous times, at home or at the doctor's.

I do remember one time when we were at the doctor's. My sister was 3 years old, so I was 5 or 6. she was lying on her stomach, her bottom on display and I watched her getting a rectal temperature, then a suppository and a injection in her bottom ! She was crying from the beginning, but she cried more loudly when the doctor inserted the needle in her bottom. I felt sorry for her.

Many times. When I was growing up modesty was not a priority at home, at the doctor's office or at the hospital. I remember leaving the exam room after getting dressed. My dad was already speaking to the nurse in her little office about what treatment I would be getting at home for the next few days, because I had the flu. On my way, one room down to my right, there were 2 girls lying on the table getting their temperatures taken at the same time. I was 14 at the time. One of the girls was 14 and her sister was 12. Other than the difference in age they could be twins. I knew this because I knew the girls. Their mom was sitting down with her back to me and the 2 girls were lying in opposite directions on the table, one whose head was to my left and the other to my right. Thank goodness they were both looking straight ahead. The nurse also had her back to me, holding in their thermometers. I couldn't believe the sight and I still think about it many years later. They never knew I was looking, and I was not going to pass up the opportunity. Of course, I was in the hospital twice, once with 1 roommate and once with 3 others. Nurses would come in around every 4 hours to take our temperatures, so there were no secrets and no privacy among us.

I live in Arizona and when I worked in trauma they were always bringing in college students who were dehydrated and had heatstroke. We would take rectal temps. We didn't have tympanic or IR thermometers then. You sure couldn't put it under their tongues. Kids would come from Northern states and Southern and mid states and not realize that Arizona is a dry heat. They were constantly being told to drink water, more water. Of course, some were dehydrated from drinking the night before. It was their first time being away from mommy and daddy. Heatstroke is a real thing here and you can die from it. During the summer it happened often. I did males and females. It never turned me on because it was my job.

If my lover/partner is sick I will take their temp rectally if they like it.

When I was in the hospital I shared a room with another boy my age. We got our temps taken 4 times a day rectally. I used to look forward to it every time. He had his arm in a sling and elevated so he has made to turn more so on his side, his butt would be facing me. After the nurse slid the thermometer in me, she would walk over to his bed and help him on his side. I watched as she opened his gown to bare his butt, spread his cheeks and slide it in. Then she would leave. I enjoyed seeing his bare bottom facing me with the thermometer inserted while I laid there enjoying the feeling of the thermometer in my butt.

As a child I got to see my little sister get hers taken whenever we were at the clinic. When I was 10, I got to watch my aunt take my 4-year-old cousin’s temp. She let me hold the thermometer in his bottom so it wouldn’t fall out. It was exhilarating!

Yeah - I think I was in hospital in the 80s in Hong Kong and saw this girl who was with her grandmother and the nurse asked her how she would like the kid's temperature to be taken and the grand ma didn't have any opinion so the nurse said then take in the bottom. So this girl was put on the bench and the nurse pull the girls skirt and her underpants off. And I saw her stick the thermometer into his girls bottom; the thing is no lubrication was used but still it went in.

I have experienced this growing up both at home and the doctor's office. It was not as upsetting at home from mom but rather dreadful from the nurse with others able to view my condition! Privacy appeared to be less of a concern for pediatric offices but improved as I became a teen and then adult.

Growing up I lived in a duplex with my cousin next door who was my age and fem. We shared the same doc and on occasion our mom's took RT when we were sick or more likely trying to avoid school. There was never a doubt when going to the doctor's office how temps were to happen. The only question was who would be first! It's one that I never guessed right!

All the best in the New Year.

A few times over many years. From seeing it in hospital settings to the procedure being done in homes, ranging from other hospitalized patients, to friends, a baby sitter and my friend's mom (see my posts).
