Remembering First Rectal Temp

The first one I remember was over my mother's lap on her bed. I was 4. I remember her giving me a choice to pull my own undies down, which I did. She always waited til I was barebottomed over her knee before shaking down the thermometer and dipping it in the large jar of cold cream that always seemed to materialize when it was time for a thermometer in my bottom.

My first memory was when i was 5. I was feeling sick and my doctor was on vacation. My mom took me to a health clinic and it was for school age kids 5-17 yrs old. There was no privacy. All the exam tables were lined up in a row about 10 of them and there were kids running around the perimeter of the tables. I was lifted onto the exam table and the exam was routine. Then i was turned over and my panties lowered down to much knees. The nurse inserted the thermometer into my butt and all i remember was some discomfort. I didn't know how to react so I stayed quiet because there were about 10 kids watching you exposed with a nurse hovering above your penetrated butt. But i wasn't the only one like that. I saw about 2 other kids older than me getting it rectally at the same time. After bout 5 minutes the nurse removed it and told my mom i was running a temp and she would be right back. She consulted the physician in charge and came back with something wrapped in foil but i had no idea what it was. She unwrapped it and the next thing i knew i felt something big get pushed into my rectum. Also my first experience with tylenol suppositories. When we left on the way home i kept reaching into my panties trying to see if there was anything sticking out of my butt that I could remove. I was unsuccessful and bewildered. When i turned 7 that was my next experience with rectal temps, suppositories and butt injections but that's detailed in another post.

I don't remember my first because I'm sure I had them as a baby but I remember the first that I enjoyed. I'm not sure what made me go from not even remembering them to liking them but by the time I was about four or five I started to enjoy them a lot.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'd like to share my first time I remember having my rectal temperature taken ...

It really came to me as a surprise to me. I was 5 years old at that time and I didn't knew that there is such thing as rectal temperature! It happened when my aunt saw me vomiting and she then asked me to come with her to the living room. When we both came there, she took out a thermometer and shook it. She then told me to lay on the sofa, and then as I anticipated her placing the thermometer onto my armpit, she told me to turn over on my tummy instead. I just wondered why since all I knew about clinical thermometers when I was 5 is that they go either onto one's armpit or under the tongue). To my surprise, she pulled my shorts down, spread my buttocks, and quickly inserted the thermometer into my B-hole. And as the thermometer lay inserted into my rectum, storm of thoughts rushed into my head: I told myself, "I thought only suppositories are inserted into the rectum" (I had suppositories inserted into my behind before, but not a thermometer, so weird my mother made used of my rectum for rectal suppositories every time I run a fever but not for taking the body temperature). As a little child (you know how children think), I was asking myself what the bottom has to do with body temperature. At the time, I only associated the bottom with elimination and suppositories. RIGHT THREE MINUTES IS OVER: She then pulled the thermometer out and I heard my aunt whisper out my temperature I could hardly hear. AND THIS I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DID: She then proceeded to go somewhere, thermometer on hand. I then looked at her and asked where she was going. MY AUNT'S REPLY: She didn't utter a word. To answer my question, she pointed the towards the sink and then smelled the silver tip of the thermometer with a priceless look on her face. (Anyone of you had this experience or anything similar?)

Thanks for sharing

I don't recall receiving rectal temps as a child (although I did get enemas periodically), but when I was a senior in high school, I broke my leg in a toboggan accident. The break was pretty severe, and pulled all kinds of muscles and tendons in my lower leg, which reslted in significant swelling. I layed in the hospital for about 5 days (waiting for the swelling to subside before they put the cast on), and it was standard practice back then (early 1960's) to check your vital signs every 4 hours around the clock. So.......every 4 hours for those 5 days, I had a rectal thermometer put in my butt. There wasn't anything terribly erotic about the procedure back then, but It felt good, and I never complained.

I was in the hospital when I was 13 for eight days also received the retal thermometer four hours.

Same here, I was in the hospital in the 60's rectal temps every 4 hours.

I used to always have my temperature done rectally. Something about it was more accurate, that's what the family doctor said. Then, as a very very young kid, I had no difficulty getting into it by myself, then, as I grew older, I tossed the rectal thermometers for bigger things in life! LOL

I had measles and was 5 or 6 years old. My parents dropped me off at Grandma's house so I wouldn't spread my infection to kids where my parents were visiting. Grammy put me to bed and had me lay on my tummy. Before I knew it she pulled down my panties and inserted a rectal thermometer up my tushy. Just then some of Grammy's neighbors came and when they heard that I was there they all came into the bedroom to say hello. There I was, on my tummy with my ass in the air with a thermometer stuck up there. I buried my head and cried. But I think I actually got hooked on anal play at that time.

At 5

Never have

The only rectal temperature I recall was at the age of 5. My mothers friend (an RN) and her family had come to visit us one summer. I remember her making some comment about me being flushed while we were having supper and I was sent to my bedroom to wait for her. I was instructed to lay on my tummy on the bed. I know all the children (hers) were curious and trying to peek in the door. She eventually came into the room and took my temperature using the BD thermometer and Vaseline that my mother had deposited on the dresser. It is the only r/t that I recall growing up.

I was 5 or 6 and laying on my bed on stomach

The first that I remember was from a woman who I had only been dating a few weeks. I had taken her temp rectally for the 1st time while playing doctor the day before. She wanted to be on her back with knees spread so that she could watch me do it, but she made me lie facedown when she first took mine. It was a powerful and intense and incredible experience that we repeated many times. One of the most ANAL women I have ever met.

I was a kid when I had my first RT but it was very embarrassing in the presence of my male cousin. He is an year younger than me and used to live with us while his parent's were away.

The nurse was standing in the way so I'm sure he didn't see much but still, the idea... Ugh.

I cannot remember the first. But i remember my rectal temperature taken up to about 4 yrs old on my tummy. I remember the room too

Since rectal temperatures were the only method available for babies (and largely still are), it's to be expected that for pretty much everybody the first rectal temperature occurred when the person was a baby and is thus not remembered. ;-)

Mr Pecan, i remember when i was 4, i did not remember much of earlier time

My mom, who was a nurse gave me regular rectal temperatures. She would make me bend over the bathtub, put some lube and slide the old fashioned glass thermometer into my butt.

Just about every time that would be followed by an enema --- while the thermometer was inserted, she would take the red bag from behind the bathroom door and start to prepare it.

This happened until I was about 12 or so.

I just found some great long, thin glass thermometers on Amazon and ordered a set - they have a red bulb and liquid - perfect a deep temperature taking - not like the couple of inches on some of the digital ones - those are not fun for rectal temps.

I will post pics on my gallery once I get to use them on someone!

Cheers

@RedHot, looking forward to those photos!

Starting at the age 3 until around 5, my mom took my temperature rectally a lot. I had a lot of ear inffections and did not know why. One time during a rectal temp being taken, I had a fever of a 104 and I ended up in the ER.

One night in the middle of the night, I woke up hot. Instead of going to get my mom, I grabbed my covers off my bed and I went into the living room where it was cool and laid down onto the floor and went to sleep and woke up later and saw my mom getting ready to enter my bedroom to check on me but instead, she saw me in the living room floor and when walking up the hall and before she asked on what I was doing in the living room, saw the look on my face that I did not feel good.

She felt my face and my forehead and realized that I was hot and marched into the kitchen and grabbed the thermometer and the next thing I knew, it was pants and undergarments down, over my mom's lap with the thermometer inserted into my hiney in the middle of the night. Don't know what the reading was but, my mom gave me some cherry tasting meds and off I went to bed.

When I was in my toddler years, I woke up hot during the night and moved into the floor where it was cool and when my mom came in and saw me in the floor, she felt my face and knew that I was hot. The she goes and gets the thermometer and come back.

Then I was over my mom's lap and she inserts the cold rod into me and holds it for 5 minutes. She pulls it out and it read that I had some fever and she gave me some meds and I went back to bed to finish the night.

I was about 4 at that time. My temperature could have been taken rectally on the next morning to be sure my fever was gone. I do have to admit that it did feel relaxing when my mom inserted the cold bulb into me to do the reading and it was time to give it up at the end of age 4 after I had a procedure done.

I really can't remember the first time.

It's hard for me to remember my first rectal temp. I'm sure I must have had my temp taken rectally as an infant and would not be able to remember those times. I would have to say that the first clear memories of getting my temperature taken are from the age of 3 or 4. I can remember being at the pediatricians office and the nurse telling me "let's lower your trousers and have you turn over." I remember being very nervous but excited about it even at that young age.

No memories of it from childhood. Only recall oral.

As an adult my first was from a woman I’d only been dating several weeks who made it clear she wanted to play doctor. I got up the courage to bring over to her home a little leather bag where I put a rectal thermometer and Vaseline. I handed her the bag when I arrived. Once she unzipped it she grinned. It wasn’t long after that I was facedown on her couch with my cheeks wide open as her finger lubricated my anus. Oh I will never forget that sensation of shame, joy, embarrassment, and desire. She was equally excited and did it to me many times over the next several months that we dated.

First time I remember is when was sick. I was laying on the bed that was a fold-out couch. My Mom pulled that out when we were sick, just easier than her always going up stairs. Mostly, I just remember being impatient. I also remember her saying to hold stil and holding my buttchecks.

I vividly remember my first time. I was 11 and we had just changed doctors. It was near the end of my exam and I was sitting on the table wearing my socks, panties and gown. The doctor looked at his chart and said no one had taken my temperature yet. I didn’t think much about it and sat there waiting for him to get a thermometer and tell me to open my mouth.

Instead he grabs a thermometer and a jar from a cabinet and comes back over to me. He told me to lay back down, which I did. Then he told me to turn over, I still remember all the noise that the paper made as I turned over onto my tummy. I was laying there up on my elbows when he opened the back of my gown up, I then felt his fingers in my waistband as he pulled my panties down to mid thigh. I remember feeling the cool air hitting my butt as I turned around to look at him. I was confused as to what he was doing because he said he was going to take my temperature. He looked at me and just told me that this is how they do it because it is more accurate. I remember feeling so confused not to mention exposed. Then he took one hand and stuck it in the jar of KY and used the other hand to spread my cheeks open. The KY felt so cold going between my cheeks as I turned around to face forward. I still didn’t understand what was going on. Then he picked up the thermometer and slowly inserted it into my butt, that caused me to squeeze my cheeks together and push into the paper to try to get away. He moved his hand from spreading my cheeks to my lower back and told me to remain still and it’d be over shortly. He kept his other hand holding the thermometer in while resting on my butt. It probably was only a few minutes but to me it seemed like forever. When he finally pulled it out, he gave me some tissues and told me to wipe the excess KY from my butt. I was like frozen for a minute in that position with my mind trying to comprehend what just happened.

When I told my parents, my stepdad just repeated what the doctor said about it being more accurate than an oral temperature.

We always had rectal temps at home, so it was less traumatic for me at age 14. My appendix had to be removed and my temperature was taken rectally in pediatrics. Although I was a bit embarrassed, it was nothing compared to the other teenage patients, especially the older boys! -Ruth-Ann

My first rectal temperature was at age 4 or 5 by a doctor to whom my mother took me for ear infection.

The name of the doctor was Arne Stein Mellegård and he had his office in an old two-store wooden building near the center of Oslo, Norway. The building is there still, as far as I know.

I am sure he visited me when I got sick with throat infections, but I cannot recall explicitly those visits.

But my mother took me to him at his office, at least twice due to ear infection, and I remember particularly two things from these visits.

In the first of these visits, he let me lay on my side at the examination table, then pulled down my throusers and underwear, and stuck some stick-like thing into my rectal opening and then held it there a long time. I had never experienced anything like this before, and it felt really strange, but not painful.

Since I did not see the thing, I cannot be sure what he did, but I think this was my first rectal temp ever. Before that my parents always took my temperature under my armpit, but after that they switched to rectal temps.

The other time he once again let me lay on the examination table. He took forth some kind of tool, actually a otoscope, fastened a conical piece at the tool and stuck that piece into each ear. The conical piece ended in a sort of lancet, and by that he stuck a hole in each of my tympanic membranes. It resulted in a horrible pain. I did not begin crying, but instead uttered: "Do not destroy me".

This doctor had one great hobby that he had kept since his childhood, and that was the boyscout movement. He was one of the leaders in that movement, and he usually had the resposibility for the medical service at boyscout camps or jamborees, and he had international connections in that movement.

Because of this there is actually information about him on the internet, written in Norwegian, but also with some pictures that may be interesting for everybody, and the text can of course be translated fairly well by Google translate.

The man died in 1963 from Lung Cancer. I am not sure if he was a smoker, but his office was in an area with great radon exposure, whith very high cancer incident rate.
