How many were put over your parents lap for rectal temperatures

@Reman "I no longer trust you"?

I'm sorry my mistake. The cousin's mother felt she could no longer believe her daughter. She believed that her daughter was cheating on her, taking advantage of her concern for her health.

As far as I can remember my rectal temperature was taken in diaper position on my back with my legs held up when I was a baby, then as I got older I was curled up on my left side in bed with my legs pulled up to my chest and my mother sitting on a chair beside the bed holding the thermometer in my rectum as the kitchen timer ticked off 5 minutes.

Mine was always taken facedown on a bed.

Daddy put me across his lap because he takes my temp the baby way. Everything that Daddy does to me is the baby way and it seems to all involves taking my panties down, and my bare bottom across his lap like spankings and suppositories and pokes.

Why do y’all keep referring to rectal temperatures as “the baby way”?

Yes it’s how you take babies temperatures but rectal temperatures are NOT JUST FOR BABIES!

RECTAL IS THE MOST ACCURATE WAY OF TAKING A TEMPERATURE!

Is it the most comfortable of convenient way….well no….it doesn’t hurt. But it’s NOT just for babies…..I am in my 40’s and rectal is what I do because of accuracy!

My doctor recommends it being taken ONLY rectal! No my doctor is not a pervert…..she is a real deal doctor who is super smart and not perverted at all!

Anyways my point of this post is…RECTAL TEMPERATURES ARE NOT JUST FOR BABIES! It’s an accurate way to take the temperature of ANY AGE PERSON!

It is the most accurate way and the most pleasurable way for the person handling the thermometer.

I start all of my enema sessions with my enemates with rectal temps and my ladies tell me that they have gotten to looking forward to them as a prelude to their enemas.

I agree wholeheartedly that rectal temps are not just for babies! On the other hand, I think that many of us grew up with that stigma, so referring to it as “the baby way” adds a nice layer of embarrassment to the procedure. 😊

@Luvbottomtemps In France, up into the 1980s, rectal temperatures were very common for both adults and children in many households, and were the standard for adults and children in hospitals. The only thing is that if you were old enough and not incapacitated, you would be asked to insert the thermometer. So definitely it was not just for babies.

"The baby way" is I think an American idea, because in that country it was commonplace to switch to oral or other methods.

I born and raised in the USA….Texas to be exact and rectal temperatures have NEVER just been for babies! One of my siblings though says her rectum is an “exit” only hole….they said they have used a few suppositories but that’s it….other than those few times….ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOES IN THAT Orifice.

Funny we have the same parents and grew up in the same house….raised the same way

When I was a medical resident I made extra money by working evenings at a nearby urgent care office. This was the early 70s so nothing was as advanced as it is now. This was just a small office with a receptionist out front, a small office for me, a supply room and two exam rooms. Most patients were pediatric with colds, sore throats, and the like. The receptionist would room the patient and tell the mother (usually) to take the child's temperature however she usually did. There were both rectal and oral thermometers in jars on the counter. When I walked into the room I'd say in about a third of the cases the child would be over the mom's lap with a thermometer being held in their bottom. Some children, especially those on the older end of the spectrum would be laying on the exam table with the thermometer in place and the reminder were having their oral temp checked.

My mom always took my rectal temperature while across her lap. On rare occasions it was done in the bathroom. Usually it would be taken in the living room.

@Pollux So 12 year old boys and girls got their temperature checked by their mother in public? Like in view of the other kids and their parents?

No. They had been placed in the exam room where they (and later, me) were the only ones present.

@Pollux And their mom did the deed?

She did. Her choice. She initiated the temperature taking before I even entered the room

@pollux That must have been way embarrassing for a girl.

Dunno. I doubt a 3 year old noticed much. Also, since whatever happened was parentally determined, however the kid's temperature was taken in the clinic was presumably the same as it was taken at home.

My parents also always took my rectal temperature while across there lap. When I was around 12 I asked if I couldn't have my rectal temperature taken while laying in bed. It would have given me some more privacy, but they insisted OTK. Not long after that happened, they decided to switch to an oral thermometer. I was so grateful, but the fetish had already started by then.

They probably did it when i was a wee, wee bairn, but not when I was old enough to remember.

I was brought up by my Aunt and Uncle (who had one son a little older than me). Rectal temps at the first sign of a cold or flu were the norm. It was a big shock the first time especially seeing and being seen by my cousin. But happy memories now.

For me never OTK always in the diaper changing position. Main reason I still wore pampers and Huggies diapers well past the potty training age. Other then that this was always done in diaper changing position as my parents had more control over my body when I either got my diaper changed or needed to have my rectal temperature taken.
