RT lovers who didn't experience it as children

I'm curious if anyone else here didn't experience rectal temperatures growing up but became interested in it anyway. I never had my rectal temperature taken at home or by a doctor (at least that I can remember) but I knew I was fascinated by the idea as young as 5 years old. My mother outright refused to use a rectal thermometer and would check either orally or under the arm. My gag reflex made/makes oral thermometers uncomfortable at best and I really didn't care for holding my arm against my side for the three minutes so I would often ask her to take my temperature rectally but she refused. I think that taboo aspect of it was what held my fascination over the years and led me to trying it on my own. Obviously I enjoyed it or I wouldn't be here but I wonder sometimes what might be different if she hadn't made an issue of it and just tried it for me. A lot of people here seem to have gotten their fetish from childhood experience so mine coming from unsatisfied curiosity is interesting to me.

I have a young friend a female acquaintance, early 20s who told me she never had her temperature taken rectally. The matter came up when we were discussing Covid 19. That came up because she had a cold which was evident from her nasally voice and her coughing, and asked if she had a fever. She said she didn’t think so. I asked if she took her temperature. She said no.

I mentioned that one thing about the covid issue, was the temperature taking that seemed required everywhere for entry into various venues. I told her the scan thermometers used really weren’t accurate. Then I said there were probably many instances where a scan actually missed a person’s real temperature.

I also told her that during an illness, if someone was not skittish or had hang ups with it, the most accurate measurement of a body temperature was rectally. I also acknowledged with a laugh, that the taking of rectal temperatures on a mass scale was simply out of the question, and very impractical, but in certain circumstances it could possibly be done on an individual basis.

She asked if I had it taken rectally beside or in lieu of a scan. I told her I had. She asked if it bothered me. I told her it had not.

I was surprised when she said she’d be comfortable with a rectal temperature even though she’d never had her temperature taken that way, but would be willing to

Her next question was, “ Where did you have this done”? I told her that most recently by a friend who is a nurse , and at facilities (some anyway) that I went to for certain medical needs. She was ok with that.

I told her if she didn’t mind, I’d give her a extra glass rectal mercury fever thermometer I had which she could keep. She said she’d like that and it would be great.

The next time we met, I gave her the thermometer , and told her how to use it.

She , as I posted, said she’d never had it done. Now, not having seen her in a while, I can’t say if she has had occasion to use the thermometer or not. If she tells me some day when we cross paths again, she has taken her temperature rectally, I would have to see how she felt about it. Could I call her a RT “lover”? Hard to say. Have to see her again.

I've no recollection of mine taken rectally as an infant, or adult either. But yet I have this fascination for it 😃 Perhaps some event in my very early childhood has triggered it? I have no idea.

My fetish for RT's is from a very early age though, and it's connected to my fetish for diapers, which also started during a very early age.

Nowadays, it's a combination of laying in the diaper-change position, and the very pleasurable sensations from the tickling of the small rod that does it for me.

@OverRainbow,

I lived your dialog wirh this young lady who never had her rectal temperature taken. I allmost find it ''romantic''.

Why did not propose her to take her rectal temperature yourself ?
