Barefoot with thermometer sticking out from your butt

Back in the days in your childhood, how often were you barefoot when your temperature was taken by your mother or your grandma at home?

And if turned out you have a fever, did your mother ordered you to put on socks to prevent being more sick due to cold feet?

Or during your temp taking, did your mother scold you for not wearing socks in bed during winter time, associated this with catching cold?

Also, when the thermometer was in your bottom, and you were laying on your tummy/OTK position, how often did you rub your soles to each other in your boredom to pass time?

Any similar memories, stories about barefoot temptaking welcomed by me here, thank you in advance!

Hmm. I don’t recall a link between rectal temperature taking and my feet. When I was sick in bed I did’t wear socks so the temp taking was done barefeet. My feet stayed without socks even with a fever. If I was on the sofa I could have worn socks. There was no rubbing of my foot soles.

Same for me. I don't remember a link between rectal temperatures and my feet. In bed was always without socks, elsewhere in the house would have been with socks on. Unfortunately also no rubbing of the foot soles.

Nothing with my feet at RT time. 🌡

Depended on the type of pjs I was wearing , if I was in them. Footies or not.

It always happened to me and my sister at a clinic, so I associate it with socks on.

I normally did not wear socks to bed, but maybe I did if sick and cold, I don't recall.

Ii have always worn socks to bed, cold feet I guess. Even now as an adult.

So when my temp was framed rectally when I was little , I was usually on my stomach, my u derwwar lowered to just my thighs, and most def wearing my socks :-)

I never really paid attention as to whether I was barefoot or wearing socks when my rectal temperature was taken as a kid. I know it was always in bed with my pajamas lowered and my legs covered with a blanket.

Today, I am totally nude when around the house except for wearing thong sandals (Flip flops). When I lie down on my side to take my rectal temperature, I am usually totally nude, or sometimes wearing only a tee shirt. And yes, I am always barefoot.

I have always liked seeing men barefoot and especially love seeing men in flip flops. Unfortunately, with the cold weather approaching, I won't be seeing men's bare toes for many months.

You know, being bare foot during the taking of a rectal temperature has not been something that I have held onto as a memory. I am sure that it has happened. Being bare, on the other hand, has had a more telling impact on me!

In my case there wasn't a link between the feeling of the thermometer in my bum and the feeling of being barefoot. In summer or when I was completely naked, so I was barefoot of course too. But when it was colder I felt more comfortable with wearing socks because I am at all bit sensitive to coldness (as my friends always said for fun: my Turkish genes^^)
