My Most Memorable Rectal Temperature

I am a Generation Xer, and I was sick and, in the hospital, a good bit when I was small. My rectal temperature was taken regularly, so having temperature taken rectally wasn’t a unique experience for me. I will admit that there was always an element of relaxation, or calmness, to the experience for me.

There was one experience of having my rectal temperature taken that has always stayed with me. This has remained a point of curiosity to me. There are parts of this experience that I don’t understand, but it has always stayed with me.

My age, when this happened, would have been about 3 to 5. That means that this would have been about 1970 to 1972. I was in the hospital and my mother was present when this happened.

A nurse and a younger woman came into my hospital room. The nurse was wearing the traditional white nurse’s uniform. It stood out to me that the younger woman had on a very light blue uniform. I would say that the younger woman was in her early 20s or maybe her late teens.

The nurse asked the young woman in the blue uniform, “Are you ready”? The young woman then told me to roll over on my tummy. I did and the woman in blue, very gently, pulled down my pajama bottoms just enough to expose my bottom and then she pulled up my pajama top just a little. The woman in blue spread my bottom cheeks with a thumb and an index finger. This let me know that this was a rectal temperature and not a shot. It seemed that the woman in blue held my cheeks parted a little longer than I was used to before inserting the thermometer. When the thermometer was inserted, I let out a low sigh and this caused the woman in blue to giggle a little. The nurse then told the woman in blue to put her hand on my back. She did.

What seemed to make this rectal temperature experience unique was that everyone seemed so quiet. It seemed that I was getting more attention than usual, and I was especially enjoying having my bare bottom stared at. The tingly sensation in my tummy, that always came with having my rectal temperature taken, seemed stronger than usual.

When the woman in blue was finished taking my rectal temperature the nurse told her to pull my pajama bottoms back up.

Does anyone have any idea who, or what, the woman in blue was?

Very likely a nurse aide. I had a similar experience in the hospital at the age of 12 y.o. I was there as the result of internal bleeding from a kidney injury and had previously had multiple thermometer in the butt takings but later had the same nurse with a trainee assistant who performed it which circumvented my embarassment and humiliation and created a erection in the process which I'm sure they noticed once I rolled back over onto my back withy protruding pajama bottom. The year was 1966 .

Hospital emergency room In the early 80’s. I was sick with a virus running a high fever. 2 nurses and my mother in a small curtain cubicle. The nurse telling mom she need to get a rectal temperature because I was so nauseated. I was dry heaving and couldn’t keep anything down. The one nurse helping me remove my pants having me turn over on my stomach. The other holding the thermometer. me laying there looking around the front of the curtain not even completely closed. People walking by me knowing everyone can hear knowing I got a thermometer in my butt. It was not a good night got a shot and a suppository that night . Got home and finding out later mom telling me she needs to give me another suppository.

I would say my most memorable rectal temperature taking event was at age 9 (in 1959) I had a stomach/intestinal bacteria infection and had a 102F+ fever. The Doctor told my Dad (single parent home) to check my temp every 4 hours from 8am to 8pm. The Dr.himself did the first (home visit) temp check.He used the otk/across the lap style.My Dad used the on my tummy on my bed method.With a 3 minutes-in timeline. Baby aspirin was not working. This continued into the next morning. The Dr.then advised I be given a (1 quart) cold (distilled) water enema.It was not pleasant..but it broke the fever…

I’ve had many RTs as an adult, so my “ most memorable” is hard to pick. One though was when I volunteered for a clinical trial. A thirty-ish year old charge nurse in her white uniform and cap came to my room. Then, when she finished her brief talk, she opened a draw in a table next to my bed and removed a thermometer and foil packet ( lubricant) and started shaking the thermometer down.

“ I’ll be taking your temperature rectally, so, please turn over for me.”

Seconds later she quickly had my underpants down then was spreading my cheeks and inserting the instrument, leaving it in for a few minutes.

She said I should get use to it as all temperatures were to be done rectally. And they were for the three days I was there.

The temperature taking done, I soon found myself in a knee-chest position and got a very intense DRE from her. Knowing what it might do, she slipped an absorbent pad under me. Wise move, as I immediately became erect and as she worked her finger, I ejaculated! She said I shouldn’t be concerned or embarrassed, as it often happened.

In my stay she saw me a few times, RT and DRE repeated.

I've experienced quite a few rectal temperature takings over the years (From both the taking and receiving side) and many of them were memorable and enjoyable in one way or another. I think that one of the most memorable experiences that I've had was a few years ago when I met “Kajira” (From Enemarotica) for some rectal temping and enema play. We met a few times and I even gave her a few rectal thermometers to use in her videos (Kajira's Irish Odyssey was the first time she used them in a video).

Kajira is such a sweetheart and overall nice person. Like me, she truly has a rectal thermometer/temperature taking fetish. There was no acting on her part. We had a great time just taking our temps etc. We drifted apart due to distance/work etc etc but I always will remember our get togethers with fondness.

My Most Memorable Rectal Temperature when I was 14 years old and the doctor refused to take it orally regardless I am old enough to hold the thermometer in my mouth he called a female nurse and told her to take my temperature rectally
