I have always found the position of being on my stomach most erotic. I guess my experiences from childhood and adult experiences have been responsible for that.
Getting my rectal temperature taken during home visits and not too much these days but in the past, visits to medical facilities where I requested a rectal temperature and often had it taken, there were psychological responses complemented by the physical sensations.
I was never placed in any position other than on my stomach. NOTE: if enema(s) given, yess on all fours, knee-chest or on my right side.
Either in my clothing or changed into a gown, I’d either be told to loosen my pants or remove them and be told , also when gowned, to “ “Lay on your stomach”, “ Lay down and turn over , please!” Or “ You’ll need to be on your tummy, for this”.
Laying there, I awaited the actual procedure, looking at the caregiver getting the thermometer, usually glass mercury, holding it up, reading it then vigorously shaking it down and again holding it up re reading it. They’d either dip it in a jar or packet of lubricant.
If it was an electronic unit the nurse usually had it hanging from around her neck, then removed, sheathed and lubricated the red topped probe.
Next, after my underwear was lowered, a pair of fingers would spread my cheeks, the admonitions of, “Ok, relax!”, or words of confirmation such as,” This is the best way for your temperature to be taken”, I guess you take it rectally at home, too?” “ Not too often requested, but when i take rectal temperatures,I know it will be an accurate measurement!” Some have asked if I’d prefer to insert it while they stepped out of the room. Always preferred them doing it!
Being on my stomach, my briefs would get their waistband lifted, the garment peeled back and down below my cheeks sometimes halfway down my legs left crumpled behind my knees, (Note: there were times when my cotton briefs were mentioned, as to style or how good they looked! )then my buttocks briefly spread, the probe or the bulb of the instrument entering my anus, getting my attention! My cheeks were let to close, hugging the inserted glass numbered rod or sheathed probe. Some would twist and turn the glass thermometer while inserted, very much exciting me. Once when the nurse in the exam cubicle let a much younger female do the temperature taking immediately after inserting the thermometer she started turning it, and I asked this girl with “trainee” on her badge, to please stop as it was giving me an erection. She stopped.
She did it under the watchful eye of a ER nurse. The nurse pulled my pants, underwear down and gave the trainee, the honors of taking my temperature, saying, “ OK,I’ll get hi pants and underwear lowered you get the thermometer and take his temperature!” And she did.
I’ve had oral thermometers and dual scale rectal thermometers used on me, a time or two.
Once an electronic unit’s probe was left inserted longer than the usual matter of seconds it took to register. It had to be in for a few minutes!
What I also experienced which made being on my stomach, erotic, was laying there, underpants down, thermometer or probe jutting out from between my cheeks, my legs spread giving a view of my testicles; was having others walk in accidentally, both staff and on one occasion a mother and daughter who profusely apologized and as they left, hearing the girl ask her mother if she’d be getting hers taken “ like him?” I found out, she did!
Yes, if my rectal temperature is to be taken I definitely want it taken while I’m on my stomach, bare bottomed, legs spread, briefs stretched taut across my legs and the glass rod or probe inserted in my rectum while my caregiver visits until the reading is done.
