Was your rectal temperature ever taken two or more times in the same day?

When I was starting to feel sick when I was a child and teenager, my pants and white briefs, or my pajama bottoms were removed, and my mom would either have me lay down across her lap or have me lay on my back on the bed. She always had a jar of Vaseline and a rectal thermometer handy to insert slowly in my anus and leave inside for about five minutes. I can remember how cold the thermometer felt at times. This would happen two or more times in the same day. I would feel embarrassed if the bedroom door was left open and family members would walk in to ask if the temperature had changed after repeated insertions of the thermometer during the day. This procedure was followed again if I was sick on the second day. I am curious as to whether others experienced this in the past or currently experience it due to the pandemic and spending more time at home for social distancing.

When I was a little boy and I was sick, my mother took usually my ( rectal ) température twice a day, when I woke up in the morning and around five in the afternoon. Some times, when she had the feeling, I was getting better or worse, she would take my temperature another time.

I have posted about my girlfriend who dumped me recently after having taken quite often my temperature.

Deborah's fetish for rectai temperature was as strong as mine. On one occasion, we decided to have a ‘’temp day''. We took eachover's temperature every hour, so we had a list of about fifteen temperature for each of us. Deborah kept a record of these on her smartphone and she was kind ( or pervert) enough to leave me a print of this list.

Yes . At home and in the hospital .

Growing up my temp was taken in my bottom 3 times a day when I was sick. Rectal temps stayed with me throughout adult hood, but due to Covid I would take it twice a day (waking up and before going to bed) every day.

It was measured more then 2-3 times if I was very ill. Maybe 4-5 times.

Mom and gram usually took my RT every 3 to 4 hours when sick, I even recall waking up in the night with a thermometer in my butt.

When someone has the flu, their rectal temperature should be taken every 2 hours to make sure that the temperature is not rising and to find out when the infection is subsiding.

During my stay in hospital, it definitely was taken something like twice a day on a regular schedule, once in the morning once in the evening.

At home… I recall my mom saying something like “you seem hotter than you were in the morning so let's check your temperature again”.

When I was sick growing up it was taken at least every few hours from the time I got up to the time I went to bed so at least 3-4 times a day

Whether at home home or hospital, temperature was taken every 4 hours.

Twice a day here, once in the morning not long after waking up, and once before bed in the evening. Of course, that's not including the initial temp-taking, which wasn't on a schedule so much as a response to suspicions of fever.

When I was sick yes

Never had that! Hmmmmm… Now you have me thinking!!! It might be fun to be “demonstrated” on. LOL!

Sorry, but as a woman who had a pediatric nurse for a mother, nobody experienced a rectal temp in the diaper position. It was always pants down and face down, or on our sides. Believe me, our temps were taken rectally into our twenties, when we left home- and even after that!

My temp was taked every few hours when I was sick

Our temps were taken rectally before each meal and before bedtime. About 4 times per day! We thought twice about pretending to be sick to get out of school!

My temp was taken 3 or 4 times a day when I growing up when I was sick.

My temp was taken 3 or 4 times a day when I growing up when I was sick.

I was very young and went to oral by 6 or 7 but when sick I think that was the case as well, 3 or 4 times.

I was in the hospital for several days following an appendectomy in the late 70’s. I was on the pediatric wing so it was rectal temps. They were taken morning and evening.

Hospitalized as a youngster, every four hours.

When I was in the hospital as a kid they did my RT every 4 hours also.

When I was a kid in the hospital it was taken every 4 hours. When I am with my playdoc he takes it every 15 minutes in different positions.

I don't remember rectal temperatures being used to find out my actual temperature. Under the tongue…that I do remember. It was done a couple times a day with Mom's hand on my forehead being use in between to check.

Yes . Two or three times ( max ) at home during a childhood illness and twice daily by nurses during a hospital stay as a kid .

I am from the era in the 60s as a child where rectal temps were still routine but the only times I had more than one was when I was sick. My mother did them up until I was around 8 or 9 then it was accepted to take it orally. I had several surgeries as a child and teen and back then you stayed at least one night and it was a ward. The nurse would go right down the line of beds and take every kids rectal temp and blood pressure. She did position herself between the person getting their temp taken and me so I felt disappointed and on the other side she pulled up the sheets so the kid on that side couldn’t see anything as well. I remember several times per day but I’m not sure 4 hours was probably the standard from what I’m hearing. I also remember going into surgery with my own underwear on and then waking up even as a teen with hospital underwear on.

Yes is the short answer. Often it was taken multiple times. Each time I was told to turn onto my tummy and my pajama bottoms were taken down. Next, I was told to be still and relax as the thermometer was slowly inserted.

Yes when i was sick it was checked quite a bit until better

Yes it was. Growing up when I was sick My Mom or Step-dad would come into my room with the rectal thermometer standing in middle of the Vaseline Jar bulb side down. Sitting on the side of my bed they had me get up and pull my pj bottoms down to my ankles and then guide me over their lap. Once in position they would seperate my clenched tush cheeks with their thumb and forefinger. With a dollop of gel on their finger they would spread it around the outside of the anus and then slowly butt firmly push it all the way in and then slowly pull it out coating the rectum and bowels. Once the finger was removed they would slide the thermometer into my rosebud hole and hold the end so I couldn't push it out. After five minutes they would pull it out and wipe it off and read it. If there was a streak of brown on the tissue they said that I needed an enema and they would prepare it then call me into the bathroom. If I protested they would spank my already naked bottom to remind me to settle down and behave.

Yes, of course. My mother was a stellar RN and took our temps as needed from young childhood through adolescence, always with a glass thermometer, from roughly 1955-1970, mostly rectal, sometimes orally (same type thermometer - oral had a roundish, bulbous tip holding the Mercury, rectal more elongated). I recall being home from 3rd grade (1961, age 9) several days to a week with ChickenPox virus with a fever and several temps done on some days. There was never anything remotely sexual about them, but I did think the cool glass sliding in and out of my little bottom felt pleasant.

After my first orgasm at 15 and first self-enema shortly after that, I did figure out that the later RTs I got kind of made my privates tingle and feel like an erection might happen.

Yes, in fact, that was probably the pattern most of the time when I was sick. My mother was also an RN, so she would more or less stick to a hospital routine of checking every 4 hours if I was sick. Of the many times I was an inpatient in the hospital, it would be like clockwork every 4 hours. As I had mentioned in previous posts, this constant assault would soon result in my anal area being broadly coated with slippery petroleum jelly. I discovered this after having been sitting on my feet in bed (no underwear of course) that my heel was glistening with vaseline that got transferred. This never happened at home. Maybe my mother was a bit more neat, not wanting to get Vaseline stains on the sheets and my pajamas. The nurses at the hospital were a bit more sloppy and in a hurry and would never wipe away the excess. There were prolonged hospital stays when I was essentially well, but there for additional diagnostic tests, and yet the constant rectal temperatures continued unabated.
