Siblings rectal temperature

As the oldest of five kids, I saw plenty of bare bottoms get mom's ping pong paddle- or thermometer.

My sister and I watched mom take our rectal temps most of the time. We didn't have much privacy in our house and it wasn't all that uncommon to be laying on the sofa, watching TV while home sick, with a thermometer in our butts.

Yes. It was always me getting it there. We had one TV and that was in the living room. If I felt like I had a temp Mom would pull down my panties and slide a well-lubed thermometer in me. Then if she was cooking she would tell my sister who is two years older to hold it in me. I would always push it out and my sister would push it back in. Then we would giggle. This would go on until we heard the timer mom had set in the kitchen. We knew she would be right in to take it out and read it.

Yes and on the receiving end, especially for physicals with no concern for my modesty

My brother and his best friend that lived with us at the time saw me getting my rectal temp taken at pediatrician. It was at our back to school check up, I was 10 years old and they were five years older than me. Well we all get there and my dad brought us my mom had to go out of town. They call us all into the exam room and they start doing the preliminarie of weighing us and listening to our hearts when the nurse feels my forehead and ask my dad if I have been running a fever. And he said yes I had been running a fever last week. And the nurse asked what was his temperature then and how did she take it. And dad said I believe it was 101.6 and she took it rectally. And I was so embarrassed that he said that in front of my brother and his friend. And she said okay well I'll confirm with Dr Miller and then she walked out of the exam room. When she came back she said to my dad helped me to get his pants down and up on the exam table for Dr Miller and she unbuttoned my pants and pull them down and Dad lifted me up onto the table oh my stomach. As my brother and his friend watched , the next thing I know Dr Miller came in grabbed the thermometer off the cabinet shook it down and put some some lube on it, parted my cheeks with his thumb and forefinger and stuck the thermometer up my butt. Then he washed his hands, and got another thermometer shuck it down and placed it under my brother's tongue and and the same with his friend , they were sitting in chairs with thermometers in their mouths while I was laying on the exam table with a thermometer in my butt. And I laid there for 5 minutes at least and I know I had a tear in my eyes from the embarrassment. Then the doctor came in and pulled the thermometer from my butt and and read it. And talk to my dad about me going into the hospital to have my tonsils out and setting up a time. Where my rectal temp would be taken many more times throughout the hospital visit..

As I mentioned previously, I saw my sister having her temperature taken rectally at our pediatricians twice. I also saw my cousin getting an r/t once. It was during our first visit to Montreal when I was five. I walked into his room one morning and he was lying on his bed, pajama bottoms and underwear down, with a thermometer sticking out. His older brother did the honors. I didn't ask any questions and left the room, and we never talked about it afterwards.
