Rectal by Choice

Was anyone given a choice about where to have his/her temp taken and chosen rectal?

Never (except when playing with my wife). The method was always selected by the caregiver.

My doctor's nurse when I was 13 started to ask, rectal or oral. I turned 13 in 1971. I never minded rectal so told the nurse to just do that. My brother two years younger hated rectal so got the nurse to change to oral as soon as he could after he turned 13.

Growing up it was rectal all the time, both in the doctor’s office and at home. I was never given the choice. If I had been asked I definitely would have chosen oral. It would have been an easy decision. Also, if I were given the choice or if I had been switched over, I probably would never have developed the fetish that I have now.

I didn't personally, but I knew a classmate who's mom would ask her and her brother, which method they preferred, and I think that she chose between both, to have some variety.

It was always mouth or ears for me. But I'm open to having the doctor do a rectal temp during a play exam. For a real doctor's visit, I'd prefer my normal ways.

Always rectal never had a choice as a kid.

I was never given a choice it was always rectal at home and the doctor.

For everyone who had their temp taken rectally ( would have been extremely embarrassing, but welcome if done by a pretty nurse), I seem to be one of the few who had his temp taken orally only. I remember one or two times having my temp taken under my arm, but the other times were all oral.

Well many times I asked a play partner, knowing bottom would be the choice..

On more than one occasion I was asked if I either wanted or was willing to have my temperature taken rectally. I was fine with it.

Well.....I had a girlfriend once who when asked if she wanted mouth or bottom asked for bottom..

When I finally met a woman who passionately wanted to Play Doctor, it was one of the few women I dated who was more ass fixated than me. So with her there was never a choice, the thermometer was never going in my mouth or under my arm. Any excuse to fully expose my bottom was her desire. Of course if she asked I would have said Rectal anyway.

When I first took her temperature, I did not ask her. I calmly told her “it needs to be rectal, so please turn over on your tummy for me.” She refused, I was surprised. But then she said “I want to be on my back so I can watch you do it”, which was ok by me. It was very intense to be inches from her spread open pussy and bumhole, slowly lubing into her anus with my gloved finger, while she stared at me. The look in her eyes was nervous and crazed!

Rangerboy: Oh? Tell us more!

I never even knew there was anyway but in my bottom until my early teens.

Back in the Old School days (1954--59) the rectal thermometer was a matter of fact for infants through age 6. Fidgety/Hyper kids as old as 9 or even older got the rectal thermometer on a case by case basis or if the family Pediatrician advised it.

I remember not having a choice. It was done rectally up until age 3. I remember them vividly.

It depends entirely on the circumstances leading a person in the situation of having a temperature taken rectally with a glass rectal thermometer.
