Did your friends know you were having rectal temperature taken?

I have never found an RT painful, I wonder what the taker is doing wrong if they are causing pain.

My friends & I never talked about it. The only time was when my friend saw mine being taken at the doctors office & I saw one of my friends temperature being taken during a physical at school.

Up until the age of 8 or something I didn't even know there were different methods than rectal and it was a topic that just didn't come up at school/with friends etc. The only person I know also got rectal temps taken were my siblings and my nextdoor neighbour. We used to always play together and dtarted taking each others temps some time in elementary school. That continued until we were around 10, when we went to different school, had different friends and didn't really hang out together anymore. Nowadays I only see her occasionally when we're both home for the holidays. And neither she nor I ever mention what we used to do. I miss her

I had a couple of friends that shared their experiences with RT as I did as well. It seemed normal to talk about each others experiences

Having been fascinated with bottoms since at least 5 or 6, I recall conversations with friends who had been sick whether they had their temperatures taken "in their butt?" The answer was invariably "yes" at least till 9 or 10 which is about when I was switched over. However it's about when I started taking my own rectally.

I saw my female friend many years ago while she was getting her rectal temperature taken. If I remember, she was 15 or 16.

She knew I saw her but my seeing her did not bother her. We didn’t discuss it either.

I overheard my sister and her bff at age 9 my sister said to her frend my brother was sitting me when i had the flu last week and he took my temperature in my Butt that was weird and her frend said whats the problem my mom does that every week at sunday morning to me and my brother (11) wow i thought nice

SOME of my friends knew that my sister and I had our rectal temperature taken at home, as well as at the Pediatrician. The reason they knew is because we all played "Doctor" and "House" together with our closer friends. Those games always involved rectal temping, as well as spankings (Depending on who we played with). Alot of our friends went to the same Pediatrician so it wasn't really a big secret that you had your temperature taken rectally when you went there.

Wow it was so common in earlier generations.

I have no memory of it though I can remember the thermometer in my mouth at home. I can’t remember how I learned of rectal temperatures but must have learned by around 10 or 11 years old because I can recall being in school and wondering if the school nurse ever took someone’s temperature in their bottom. Not that I ever asked anyone… always too shy.

I would die if my friends knew my fascination.

Up till I was eleven I didn’t dare to admit that my temperature was taken that way. Once the teacher asked how our temps were taken at home. I said oral. I can’t remember any other kid stating rectal but I’m sure this was the case with many more in the 80’s in the Netherlands. Later, when it had changed to self taking rectal temps I felt more confident about it and asked my friends how they did it. One did it in the armpit and others also rectally. I off course told them that I did it rectally. I was already aware of my kink so it was also very exciting to bring this topic up. but I was very careful not to unveil my kink.

I did not tell anyone until last year that I had a fetish for temperature being taken rectally. The friend I told now takes my temperature that way. She is a retired nurse and insists that is the most accurate way to check. She has a rectal thermometer with a black cover. She brings the black holder into my room and a jar of Vaseline. She removes the thermometer from the case and places me over her lap. She generously applies the Vaseline before spreading my cheeks and inserting the thermometer. It stays in at least 5 minutes.

I occasionally chatted with friends about how their parents took their temperatures. At one time, we said to each other the next day as soon as we saw each other, if we had received the thermometer in the buttocks

Absolutely not. In my part of the world such things would be a well kept secret.

Only one friend as we had the same doctor. One day we were chatting about upcoming exams when he blurted out hating to be told to "turn over." I immediately knew what his was likely to refer to but pretended to act surprised. He then said that he hated each exam as the nurse made him remove his briefs once he was weighed and get onto the table and lay back down while she readied a thermometer with his mom watching. I gasped as I knew the drill and acknowledged this was so embarrassing for me as well. I also volunteered more about how the insertion felt and the pressure as she twirled it inside me.

No, and it is not something I would share. In the North of Ireland, where I grew up, such things were very much hush. If you had for example a rectal or pelvic exam at the doctor, your mother or father, whoever may have been there would not openly disclose that in the family home. It would be a case of "the doctor checked a few things" etc.

Some of my firends new it, because we had the same pediatrician, where the nurses and medical students always took rectal temperature with you laying naked on the exam table. Also i had a sleepover at my friends home, just before we go to bed, his mum wanted to take his temperature. He had to lay over her lap, but to my suprise she wanted to take mine as well.
