Stories about grandma taking your rectal temperature

I've seen many post about that. How that happened? Why your grandma and not your mom? And rectally taken, not orally because she was old fashioned? How do you behave the whole procedure, and the top of that, did she do this even when you were older? (for example high school aged)

My grandma took it that way several times. If I was ill, she usually came to us to help me, to make lunch because my mother couldn't be at home, only in the afternoon and evening. I always cooperated, because it was ordinary.

One thing about "old fashioned": people tend to continue in adult age doing how they were taught to. I grew up in France where, until maybe the 1990s, rectal temperatures were the norm in hospitals (got them in early 1980s) and in many families (including mine). My mother went into adult age "knowing" that rectal was the only reliable way and still does it this way only (me too but that's for kink reasons). The only progress was the use of electronic instead of glass.

Thank you for your replies!

My grandma took it that way several times.

Can you please Matthew describe exactly how this thing was done, and what age were you? Never say to your grandma that you want to do another way, like orally/armpit? And never thought other kids maybe don't take temperature rectally?

My grandma took my rectal temp. once when I was around 8, because the oral thermometer had broken, when she was babysitting me. She didn't use any Vaseline, and it was so painful that I almost cried. It even hurt when she was taking it out. It felt like a sharp metal pen. I had a sore ass for hours afterward. The only positive side is that she didn't take it again, because my temperature was normal. Bad memories.

Sorry to hear that! Have you asked your grandma to not take this form of temperature? When you found out it will be rectally, how do you react, and behave? You said your temperature was normal but what if she wanted to repeat the examination later that day, what were you do?

I visit my grandparents every summer from the tiem a was a little boy. They lived in a small farming village. Where time stood still so to say. They where strong believers in the old fashioned. So spanking, enemas, suppositories and also the rectal thermometer was and is common there. I lately found out grandma keeps records of everything from when i was a little boy. If i was a bit cranky or She would look at me and feel my forehead she would say let's take you're temperature. It would not stop after that one time. She would take it 3 times a day at least 2 days until it was under 37 degrees for 2 measurements at a row.

Did your parents know this, or did you tell them? Whats this records look like, only your temperatures was registered, in a book I guess? Have you ever prostested against this? Well, should we say your grandma seized every opportunity to check your rectal temp...

Well the grandparents are from my fathers side. So i think he knows and has experience. I never spoke to them about it. But i think my mother knows to. She is also a believer in the good old times.

I saw the book for the first time the last time i was there. Afterwards i got a chance to look quickly in it. Everything is in there from spanking, normal, enemas punishment enemas, suppositories etc. She wrote the last time: "would not come out of bed" temp morn 37.8, temp mid 38, temp even 38.4 protested spanking 20 hand. Check again morning pos suppo. Temp morn 38.4 suppo parc. 1000, temp mid 37, temp even 37.3.

I wrote i an other tread not every household is the same. I am being dominated all my life so i go with it. Well some time a protest but i think you know how that ends.

And how your grandma taken your rectal temp? I mean in details, it was only for punishment or you have to be at least very slightly seem sick? What method she use the thermometer, in what positions, and the amount of lube? You had to be fully naked? And has she ever taken your temperature in front of other person(s)?And finally, what was your age during this, how long was this period of your life? I hope you don't mind this questions, thank you!

My grandparents never took my rectal temperature at all. It was always my mom. My mom was always the only person who touched me.

Hi Master,

I mean in details, it was only for punishment or you have to be at least very slightly seem sick?

As i said mostly as i was cranky or irritable, or she would just feel my forehead. Of course with every punishment she did.

What method she use the thermometer, in what positions, and the amount of lube?

Over the lap or in diaper position after about 18 on my side or over the bed. The thermometer would be lubed and my anus.

You had to be fully naked?

Mostly with a long t-shirt on with punishments other wise pajamas.

And has she ever taken your temperature in front of other person(s).

Grandpa could always walk in. With punishments he was mostly present. She had a female neighbor who would visit couple of times during the week. She helped sometimes.

And finally, what was your age during this, how long was this period of your life?

Last time i visited was last year. I'm now 35 of course the frequencies of measuring have gone down. I visit them every year. Grandpa is now 79 and Gran 73. They got a living in help this year i heard. Some people on this forum don't understand how an adult can undergo this. But i can't just walk away or do anything about it in my mind. I just go with it if they believe it's good for me.

Hi Master! Not only my grandmom took it that way, my mother too. Till 18. Never had any problem with that I think. It's not common in our land, but I secretly liked it after 13.

My mom's mom , my gram helped mom many times when my brother and I got sick, as for a time she lived in the same area. It was not that uncommon for gram to take my bother's and my RT.

Thank you for the details Paul! And you too Matthew, can you please tell me about what do you know about the other kids in your neighborhood? Did you know that time (when you was teenager from 10-18 ) rectal temperature was mostly for only little children? How did you feel about this, it was humiliating? Never questioned your mom about this?

For me, this was not a fantasy, but a reality if I was staying with her while my mom was away. She raised my mom in a structured way, so I was no different. She was very, very kind, but also the one in control. If I was to have my temperature taken, it was rectally with no discussion. My mom was a believer, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
