Nature or Nurture or Both??

Hi. Rangerboy here. Been gone off this site for a few years now. Glad to be back. I was born in the early 50's so in my growing up years, RT was the standard both at home and at the Dr.'s office. It stopped for me (at least at home and in the clinic) when I was 6. Now I have a very good memory of long term events and I cannot remember a single time when the thought of a RT didn't stimulate me. I'm talking about three or four years old. I'm wondering of some of us are anal erotic by nature or if early experiences made us that way. I'm a spanko and likewise, I can't think of a time when the subject didn't ring my chimes. What do some of you think?

Born in 1958, had RT at home and at the doctors as well, till age 13 when the doctor's nurse asked mom how she wanted it done. Mom said ask Me and I said RT is fine. I have liked RT since I was a young child. I also like enemas. I don't like anything to do with spanking. I had a male friend as a kid that also liked RTs. We did doctor play when parents were away, and took each other's temperatures I'm not gay but, I prefer RT play with males. We both agreed about liking things in our Butts I.E. thermometers, enema pipes, etc. Anal erotic, I know my friend and I seemed to be.

I am sure that the early experiences of RT, suppositories and enemas definitely helped being anal erotic.

Welcome back @Rangerboy.

I had my temp taken rectally at age 4 by nurse. It was the first time. The nurse had checked my breathing, say Ahhh, as she checked throat. Then had me lie face down. The next thing I knew she had slipped pants and underwear down to my knees. I had no idea what she was going to do as I watched as she took a thin glass rod from a container on medical stand. I felt her spread my butt and slipped the rod(the thermometer) in my bottom. I was immediately aroused. I still remember being so hard. No tears, just wonderment at what I felt.

Years a later my wife, at the time, suggested she take my temp as I wasn’t feeling well. But we only have the rectal thermometer, ok? I agreed, and had the same reaction as when I was 4.

I suspect that it is a mixture of both nature and nurture. Early childhood experiences be they at home or a doctor's office seem like a very distant memory. This is more nature I believe say before age 6. Once you realize that being naked comes with a sense of vulnerability, the process changes to nurture and total awareness of being susceptible to whatever the adult requires. Should the RT occur beyond this age, one has to realize that the sensations coming from the insertion let alone lying in the prone position with a parent or nurse observing is very different than what one experiences on a daily basis. It's total surrender and with that may come other associations particularly once puberty begins. Arousal while on the exam table or at other times makes for a sensory fixation and the beginning of a medfet curiosity. For me, it was necessary to act out at home, alone, in anticipation of an upcoming exam, which remains a very strong preoccupation.

Fascinating question to ponder. Thanks.

Very thoughtful replies from all. Thanks.

I would say both for me

I'd like to thank you ALL for some very thoughtful and intelligent replies. appreciate you all.
