Rectal temp naked at doc office

Hiii zity members !!!! By any chance when you had to go to the pediatrician or internist...did you have to get a rectal temp while naked on the exam table??? I hear a lot of funny/crazy stories of kids as old as 15 getting rectal temps either naked or undies to ankles or naked with a gown on....tell us your stories!!! 😃

I could see stripping down completely is to take a rectal temperature with a glass rectal thermometer if it were followed by a full physical exam.

50 years ago, near Paris, France, I had my last high school physical as I turned 18.

After examining the penis and testicles or the young man, the doctor, a young and attractive lady, aged around 35, asked the pupil to turn around and then without notice, she inserted a thermometer defly into the boy's rectum.

In my case, as the thermometer registered, she kept her hands on my buttocks and gave me my only ever erection in a medical seting.

An humiliating ( two other ladys were present during thé exam) but also exciting experience.

Yes at the pediatricians office I was naked laying on my belly for the young nurse to take my temp.

@docshelper010 imagine if they do that now???? I’m sure the medical industry would be rich hahahaha with all these people who loves temp taking that way lol.....”now turn over to your stomach I’m going to check if you have a fever” 🤒

@joe_thom how old were you??? Did you protest!!??? Did ur parents say anything??? I’m sure you were embarrassed but excited too hahaha

Naked is a very relative term when it comes to having one's temperature taken. I am not sure that being completely naked versus having one's underpants pulled down past one's knees makes a real difference when awaiting a rectal temperature experience. Both made me feel very vulnerable and on display. There is no way to feel shielded. The position also mattered. Having a temperature taken while lying on my belly was an invitation for an erection when I began puberty. Having it done while lying on my side placed less pressure on my penis but then it created more awareness of my rosebud being and genitals being displayed. While I might not develop a full erection then, it didn't do much for my sense of self consciousness about what was taking place.

@Svensson omgggg 18!!! Lol what the heck was the nurse trying to prove!!!?? Lol what did your parents say!!??? Did you go to the appointment yourself??? Did the nurse saw your privates when you stripped nude??? Lol

@Nick321 yea I think being naked and having temp taking goes hand in hand.....I mean the doc is going to see everything anyways so might as well get nude and be prodded and penetrated with finger and instruments and injections lol....imagine if this was still taking place at the doc office??? There would be major lawsuits !!! Lol

@Pitbull,

It was the yearly physical exam at high school. The two women present were the school nurse and thé school psychologist. Parents were not present and as I told m'y mother about it, she said: '' that's normal, that's just medical'' That was also the opinion of most of my .schoolmates.

@Pitbull I was between 6 and 13. Parents were not in the room with us, or maybe a couple of times, Could not protest really. The young nurse stayed in the room the whole time.

@Svensson hahahaha as a psychologist I would have thought they would know how a young lad would feel if they had to subject to a rectal temp at that age lol....funny how psychologist now think that’s it’s abuse in this day and age lmaoooo

@joe_thom wow your soooo lucky!!! I wish I was naked on exam table with legs wide apart with a anal thermometer in my butt lol 🌡.....I’m sure the nurse would have seen my privates while I lay on my stomach lol.....I bet nurse sees the Vaseline dripping around the vagina or maybe patient got too excited and started to get wet lol

@pitbull The nurse did use lots of lubrication on the thermometer. and inserted it deep inside.

Miss Pitbull,

Anytime you feel you may need your temp taking just let me know. I will be glad to have you come over, strip, lay on tummy, spread your legs open and I will part your cheeks and lube you well and insert that beautiful mercury rectal thermometer into you sweet pink butt hole and take that temp.

Or I will make a house call just for you.

Have a great day!!!!!!!

@joe_thom that’s soooo cool a lot of lube niceeee lol....I’m sure you didn’t felt it when it went inside your butthole lol

Born in 1958 and 13 in 1971 all rectal temps were done in only underwear and always pulled way down so actually pretty nude. I had RT at every exam till I joined the navy at age 18, they did ask you after age 13 if you wanted oral but i just let them do RT's. Mom didn't come in the exam room after i was 14 or so. but it was always the nurse doing the RT and doctor came in after. It's just how it was in those days and no one questioned it and all the local kids used the same doctor so we all got it. RT was so normal that when kids as kids do played doctor. we alway did play or real rectal temps. This was in the midwest USA of the 60's and 70's.

@Kenw omggggg at 18!!??? Imagine if they did that nowadays !!??? There would be so many lawsuits like handing out candies hahahaha

This was the 1960's 70's in the USA it was just not any big thing. I had a roommate in college that told me he had RT as a kid also well into his teen years. It never bothered him. And even in college he took his own temp rectally when sick and sometimes for just fun. We even did a little RT play, with each other.

Absolutely until age 5 or 6 every visit and occasionally up to age 10. Always by the nurse pants and underwear down to ankles or pants already off underwear to the ankles face down on table. Sometimes the nurse would be ordered to recheck it with the doctor in the room usually before a shot most of those were in the butt too. I guess the reasons be8ng hey their is easy access haha.

At the doctor, I was lying on my belly with nothing but my underpants pulled down to my knees. So it's the same as being completely naked. The last barrier that protects your dignity is gone. And my genitals were clearly visible to everyone when I turned around to pull up my underwear after the temperature taking.

A few years ago I had to take my son's rectal temperature at the pediatric ward, since the nurses had required it. He was completely naked, lying on his belly.

@Pitbull

Wow so many members had this happen to them. I have no memory of anything except an oral thermometer at the doctor's office or at home. I supposed I did get it taken "back there" when I was really young, just don't remember.

Funny though because at some point I started becoming obsessed with the idea of rectal temperatures and just couldn't imagine having it done to me, the embarrassment, anxiety, but also the excitement. I love reading people's histories.

As an adult though, I do love to play the patient AND the doctor...!

This seems to have been very common in USA up to the late 1980's from what i have read on a number of RT sites. It just seemed normal to my generation, noting odd about it, so normal that we even included it in our play doctor games as kids, as I have posted before.

When I was there for a physical, the rectal temp was taken with my underpants pulled down to my knees. If if was there for a sore throat or something they just pulled my jeans and underpants down to my knees. I usually had my shirt off by then so I was almost completely naked.

My college physical when I was 18 I was all alone with doctor and on table on my back he always grabbed my underwear and pulled them fown to my knees, he moved my legs so my knees were up and removed my underwear then out of nowhere he pulled my legs back and inserted thermometer I was so exposed. He left it in forever it seemed and I wound up getting erection. He said it was normal, I never went back to him he examined me alot while I was naked. Now that is my biggest fantasy.

I don’t recall ever being totally naked. As a toddler and preschool aged boy, my pants were usually unfastened by my seated mother as instructed by the attending nurse. I then would be instructed to “hop up on the table so we can get a temp on you.” Once up on that crinkling white paper I would be rolled over by the nurse where she would pull my trousers down to my knees and inch down my underpants to just below my bottom cheeks. After the usual prep, RT and lubrication jelly wipe up, I would be assisted to a sitting position and be instructed to “please remain pantless until the doctor has a chance to examine you.” There I would sit peering down into my tightie-whiteys at my usually hiding penis, trying to avoid eye contact with my mother for what seemed like an eternity.

Gowns weren’t an option in the 60’s and 70’s, and doctor’s office humiliation seemed a rite of passage. My rectal thermometer privileges were hit and miss by age five, and all but completely taken away by age six. I have a hunch I received my first rectal thermometer the day I was born, and that day imprinted me for life.

I was never completely undressed but it’s splitting hairs when my underwear was down to expose my butt. Yeah they came back up after my temp was taken then back down again at the end of the exam.
