Rectal Temps at a Doctors Office

That would be coo as an adult to have it done!

I havent had it done as an adult, but would like to.

Never had a rt from a real dr that I can recall

Only as a kid, while they were checking if I had appendicitis...when I was very small and in hospital I remember that my behind was bared and they talked about taking my temperature, but in the end I was just given a suppository.

I can remember having my temp taken rectaly on several ocassions at the doctors office. unfortunately it usualy was folledd by 1 or more painful shots in the butt.

Wow I have to say that I have never had a rectal temp taken that I can remember, clinically or otherwise...and although it would probably embarrass me completely, I have to admit...I might like it. Getting me to admit it (verbally) well thats another story lol

I have given a few though. (weg)

Always layed on my side at the Dr office, never got to watch th nurse

Any youngster that is identified as not being capable of holding a glass thermometer in his mouth without a mishap is deemed to have his temperature taken rectally. A general policy that seemed to originate in the 1940's and 1950's was that a five year patient could not be depended upon to hold a glass thermometer in his mouth responsibly and therefor all patients at the age were required to have their temperatures taken rectally. For patients six years old and above policies varied, but generally the patients were "promoted" to have their temperatures taken orally. However, patients in the six to ten year old range that possessed risk factors such as having an intellectual deficit, immaturity, and being emotionally unsound (most often being what was called "hyperactive") were also designated to have their temperatures taken rectally.

These same standards continue for those three to four percent of the clinics that continue to use the glass thermometer to take temperatures of youngsters in the five to twelve year old range. These clinics tend to serve families in sparsely populated areas and often small community based facilities that serve less educated, financially disadvantaged families. In such a community there is a lack of political correctness to migrate over to electronic thermometers, the cost of professional electronic thermometers are prohibilitve, and finally there is little incentive anyway as taking a patient's temperature with a glass has worked fine for decades.

Efficiency of using a glass thermometer to take a patient's temperature is often offset by use volunteers to perform tasks such as taking vital signs, which for youngsters usually consists of height, weight, and of course taking temperatures, including rectal temperatures. A volunteer can easily develop skills for managing a youngster that is about to have his temperature taken rectally (who may be adverse to having his temperature taken rectally) and performing that activity on him with ease without his consent or approval, and perhaps over his objections. As a volunteer gains experience, he can easily identify a youngster that is not suitable for an oral temperature and may use his subjective skills to target a youngster that is more suitable for a rectal temperature (which requires more explanation that can be discussed here). In either case, it is always in the best interest of the youngster to take his temperature rectally no matter how remote the probability of a mishap with a thermometer placed in his mouth, as a glass rectal thermometer will remain intact while it is parked inside his rear end (no matter how tight his anal opening squeezes around the glass thermometer). The youngster benefits from having his temperature taken rectally as it is a lot more comfortable having a glass rectal thermometer securely lodged in his rear end than one placed in his mouth (with the tip poking the underside of his tongue while having to keep his mouth partially open), and with his mouth unoccupied he is freely able to express himself verbally.

I would certainly like to find a doctor's office that still takes temperatures rectally with a glass thermometer. Alas, it seems to be getting more and more rare, and I am still too embarrassed to ask for it. In Switzerland, where I live, infrared aural thermometers seem to be the norm. The best approach is the one used by Buffalo - it helps to have the right connections!

My last rt was at age 11, in the hospital after surgery. I was quite out of it from anesthesia that day. I remember waking up briefly, was positioned on my side and couldn't figure out why. I thought, oh no, they're gonna give me a shot. But I never felt any pain. I must have fallen back to sleep. It was years later that I figured out what they did.

I too have a vague recollection of having my temperature taken rectally as a very young child. I can't help but think this type of experience is directly connected to my fascination and preoccupation with medical fetish now. I regularly fantasize about it and fine it very sexually arousing.

Has anyone ever had an issue with a Glass RT breaking ? Is that why they switched to the Electronic ones

I remember the very last rectal temp at the Dr was when I was 12. I remember the reason for the visit was I had an ear infection. Mom came into the room with me. Neither of us considered (at least I didn't) that the doc would take my temp THAT WAY. However, he knew I was feverish so he told me to take my pants off and turn over. I recall that being the longest few minutes of my life as I laid there with the temp up my butt waiting for it to register. The icing on the cake was his nurse came in unannounced and without knocking. She talked to him about another patient and probably paid me no mind, but being in that position with three people in the room was quite intense!

RT's were the norm in the fifties during every doctor's office visit. While the nurse was preparing the thermometer, she would usually say, "Turn over" and that was my cue to pulling my pants and underwear down and lying face down on the table waiting for her to do her thing.

When i was 12 i had my temperature taken rectally in the hospital. Young nurse came to my room and told me that she need to check the temp in the backdoor. I was laying back to the wall, and i denied to turn over, so she had to bend over me to reach my butt. When she inserted the thermometer i touched her ass, she just smile to me and said 'easy boy, just a standard procedure'. Of course my mom was disgusted because no one told her that they gonna take my temp that way. She allways took it under armpit. I actually enjoyed it, so do grabbing young nurse ass.

Rectal thermometers are present in a doctor's office today but hardly used. the common wisdom is taking it digitally in the ear....true enough in the olden days say mid-50's, if a lad was asked to unbuckle his belt it meant one thing. Likewise if a little girls was asked to turn over on her tummy and lift her dress...same thing. The feeling of a nurse reaching up into the leg opening of my panties was an electric experience...I knew the nurse was supposed to be doing that but I felt violated...when I felt the thermometer slipping in my tight hole....I realized how degraded I felt....it felt surely that the thermometer was pushed in to the max...with a mere inch protruding from my anus...I still own and use a glass rectal thermometer at home and love it

I remember getting one at the dr's office.

At first it was an oral temp, but unfortunately I was gagging like crazy, so I was asked to lie face down on the table. The Dr inserted the probe from the ivac into my rectal passage.

I so want to experience this

No offense docs helper but are you for real and if so where from i mean yea this is a fantasy group but come on i doubt this type of doctors office really does exsist

To qv6486

It happened to but not recently. I was young and the doctor (female) young also. I was introduced to her cabinet having acute abdominal pains.

Without hesitating she stuck an oral termometer in my mouth and the made me lower my trousers, and personally stuck a rectal termometer in my ass. The ratio was that in acute apendix inflamation both measurements will indicate differences.

Well: there weren't but the pleasure was all her's. At that time I was too pressed in order to get into the pleasure mode.

I would die a thousand deaths if a doctor wanted to take my temp rectally. I don't trust doctors as far as I can throw them ,not to mention how do you overcome the sheer embarrassment of getting off while it's going on ?

I would LOVE to have my temp taken from a doctor, but I guess I would be so ashamed the same time, that I couln't really enjoy it

I dont believe real docs do that anymore. if you are having your temp taken rectally, you are playing. 😢

I clearly remember having my temp taken rectally when I young by my mom who was a nurse and also at the Dr.s office. I used to enjoy the feeling and the idea of somebody playing with my ass. When I was teenager I was in the hospital with a severe arm break. I only had a gown on and whenever teh nurse made rounds for her checks I pretended to be a sleep on my side with the hope that she would take my temperature rectally isntead of by mouth. It didn't happen but you can't blame me for trying.

In the 70s/80s when I was a child, glass rectal thermometers were still very common, and it was common policy to take rectal temps up to age 12. The only time they would take a rectal temp now was if you were an infant, if you were suffering a heat or cold related illness (like heat stroke or hypothermia) where it was absolutely crucial to get a core temperature, or other very limited conditions (like having a jaw wired shut). We live in a very litigious society (sue happy) and a very private society, so those two factors heavily discourage the use of rectal temps when there are other accurate methods available. I rarely visit doctors any more, but when I do, they almost never have you disrobe or touch you unless they absolutely have to.

I've never had a rectal temp at a doctor's office that I can remember (must have happened when I was really young though). But I've always fantasized about them. I always wonder every time I go to the doctor's if there will be a chance I'll get one. But these days, everything seems to be digital and oral. Bummer

they do, if they want to check you don't have appendictis

My doctor stopped taking my temp. rectally when i turned 5. i remember being disappointed. the situation is still so vivid in my mind.

Unfortunately, it seems like the rectal temp is going away due to the newer digital thermometers including the ear ones. I don't think they even sell any of the mercury thermometers.

I have read some place online that they will do rectal temps on adults in situations such as heat stroke in athletes. If it wasn't a serious situation, that would be hot for sure. Perhaps the trainers do that during workouts in the summer to ensure that no one doesn't overdo it during practices - one can only wish.

I'm not sure how they take it these days but mine was taken rectally by my doctor until I was 20 for annual physicals and when I was sick. I came to find out that my doc will just keep taking it rectally regardless of age unless you express that you didn't want it rectally anymore. It was mandatory until age 13 though. He stops seeing patients at 21. So I finally told him and he took it orally for a year until I switched doctors. I always still do it rectally at home though because after so long it doesn't feel right any other way!
