Doctor reluctant to take a rectal temperature?

Have you ever been in an exam where certain procedures were done rectally but the person doing them was reluctant to take you rectal temperature?

Nope, it never happened that I recall.

No that has never happened to that I can think of.

I can’t even remember when a doctor or nurse, last took my rectal temperature. I was lucky enough to have avoided a hospital stay, as a child or young teen. I knew a female classmate in college, who was placed in the pediatrics ward, during a summer break, at around age 19, and she was forced to accept having her temperature taken rectally. She told me that she had last had it taken that way, as a very young child, and said that she was embarrassed and humiliated. She also said that it was uncomfortable physically.
