Your reaction to wanting or being told your temperature is to be taken rectally.

A few years ago while in my mid fifties, the ER doctor ordered an RT on me. I said, “Oh come on! Really? No!” It actually made an awkward situation even more of an awkward situation. My objection did not matter; it happened regardless of my protest.

I know some people say its more accurate, and I'm sure it is, but really its not like you're using temperature for titration of meds (usually body weight), and even then there is some room for error. I would definitely protest if I was told it was happening. Hell even in a play exam I feel like I'd put up a least a little resistance to the doc to them going 😃

Dosen't bother me and so use to it now that it's normal for me, it's the only way my Nurse/Mistress Girlfriend will take my temperature in this house and it's her preferred method...so don't argue it and just enjoy it everytime!.

I would love it, I, too, have no faith in ear of forehead readings.

I think I'd been hit with a bad case of the flu a few years back. I was sweaty, felt roasting hot with a horrible cough, etc. Went to my doctor and sitting on the exam table, he took my temp orally which showed 101F. He then suggested a rectal temp to get the body core temp to compare. I took my pants off, laid down on the table and he pulled my underwear down to my knees and slid the lubed thermometer in. After a couple of minutes the temp read 102F. I was told to stay the way I was, he came back with 2 syringes and two 2 inch #18 gauge needles. He filled first syringe with B6 and I got that in the right buttock, filled the second syringe with Pen-G for the left buttock and that one really hurt, ended up with a small bruise at the injection site. Even though I felt like crap I really did enjoy that visit.

In a clinical/medical, non-fetish related setting, I would be perfectly fine with that. Some Doctors will take a rectal temperature if you request it. They are few and far between and most certainly do not have any hangups about it.

I was fine with it. Because it made me feel like a toddler

If needed, I wouldn't mind at all.

Yesterday I went to the hospital cause I wasn’t feeling well, I had some belly pain in the lower left cadran… anyhow at triage it came time to take my temperature and he needed to take it rectaly, at least he offered I take my own temperature, so I did I was surprised at first but I was really sick and just wanted it to be over. Later that night one of the nurses came to me and told me she needed to take my temperature “in my butt” she told me, I became so red… it was a electronic thermometer with the red probe it was really fast and she was really professional.

If I was told I was getting my rectal temperature taken in a medical setting these days, I would have no choice to be a compliant little boy and submit to the procedure.

I’ve had my temperature taken rectally since I was around ten years old at my new doctors office. I can tell you that as a teenager, when suffering an accident or going to a hospital and being told this. It’s embarrassing, you ask why can’t it be done another way. And then to have complete strangers do it, there are all sorts of emotions….shock, embarrassment, excitement, etc.

I’d be in absolute shock

Having had a number of procedures such as being catherized when I had sepsis, a camera scope inserted in penis to check bladder and an operation on testicle to fix a hydrocele(Correct spelling?) having a rectal temp is no big deal. The only time it ever happened was when I was four and taken by a nurse.
