Rectal temperature embarassment (or humiliation) ?

I think this is more funny than embarrassing. On Super Bowl Sunday a year ago I was sick with a nagging cough and stuffy nose. I was bundled up in a robe and jamies on our living room sofa and watching the game when my husband said it had been the night before since he took my temperature. Rectal temps are routine with me since my asthma occasionally turns into bad colds. No sooner had I turned on my side and hubby inserted the thermometer in my bottom than our next door neighbor knocked on our front door. My husband quickly covered me with my robe and went to the door and chatted with my neighbor. There I was lying on my side with a thermometer up my butt, and a few feet away my husband and neighbor were talking. "How's Vicki," my neighbor was asking. Thankfully, my husband had the good sense NOT to reveal what was happening at the time!!

^^

It would have been embarrassing for you if you husband had said, "She is not feeling well. I am taking her temperature now."

Neighbor looks at you and asks, "Where's the thermometer?"

😄

I did have a funny thing happen several years ago when I was sick in bed and my mom called to ask how I was feeling. She asked if I had a fever and without thinking I told her I was running a temp and it was taken rectally. I think mom was chuckling a little, because she reminded me when I was growing up and was having bad colds and asthma issues that she used to take my temperature in my bottom and I didn't mind.

I stopped getting rectal temps when I was five or so. When I was twenty five I was admitted to the hospital for a week for the workup of a fever of unknown origin. I had returned from the middle east and was sick as a dog. When I arrived in the hospital my temp was taken orally. Shortly thereafter, the nurse returned saying I had to have a rectal temp. I was very embarrassed but complied. For the rest of my stay I had every four hour rectal temps. I got to be very aroused by the pretty night shift nurse who awoke me to take my temp. She had me lie on my side and twirled the thermometer as she inserted it. All in all humiliating but fun too!

I would be embarrassed to have a dr take my tmp rectally, or have someone watch. That is why I prefer to be alone and take it myself.

Yes has happen to me and my girlfriend doesn't care and if friends are over and she thinks I need a rectal temperature check she will do it, once she had like 5 of her closest friends over and they were watching a movie and I was upstairs playing PS4 and went down and got something to eat, was mindly my own business when all a sudden in the other room I heard the movie pause and she said "go get the rectal thermometer and gloves for me" and I was like ok, totally forgot it was that time of night usually for my rectal temperature and I actually thought it wasn't going to happen this night with all her friends staying over, man was I wrong as I went to get the stuff and went back into living room and she told me take off your pj bottoms and get over my knee for your nightly rectal temp, so I did and right in front of all her friends she took my rectal temp naked over her lap and actually for the five minute reading had the movie back playing and then read it and her friends were like what a nice girlfriend you have and how she takes so good care of you and then put my pjs back up and went and kissed her goodnight, went and got my food and went back to playing my PS4.

Yes, girlfriend can be bossy but also she is my Mistress and her friends were all female, been with her for 4 years and never had a relationship like this and love it, she takes my temperature every night because she is always worried about me as I ever knew why because I'm in great shape and I always liked how she cared for me since we been together and now living with each other for last 2 years and yes sometimes don't care to get my temp took but do it for her and she always seem to like it and sometimes will surprise me, dress in her vintage whites and starch nurse cap.....which is a big thrill for me.

Buffalo, Sounds like you have a great relationship going. Are any of her gfriends looking for a man who will be a sub?

Hehe, Thanks StephenS, all are took except Amy but she has been through a few bad relationships she told us. Right now she is just wanting to be single till the right time. I'm just happy that my girl's friends play as openly as they do. I'm a blessed man!. Now my next goal is too get all them to take care of me while wearing their classic whites and nurse caps, only seen 3 of them even in cap as it was more to tease me than anything.

My most embarrassing rectal temp was when I was six. My parent went to a business event for my dad, and they left me with a babysitter. I believe she was 16. I starting feel sick to my stomach. The babysitter felt my forehead and then she called my mom I heard her and told them I was getting sick. I also heard that she said that she did not what my temperature was. When she hang up the phone, she went upstairs and came downstairs with the rectal temperature. She set in a chair with a towel over her lap. She and told my take my mom wanted to know what my temp was. She told me to remove my pajama bottom and lay over her lap I did not want her to take my temp. I always had my temp takes rectally but it was done by my mom or a nurse. She was to get mad because I was not during what she said. She told me to listen, or she will call my mom. I finally did what she told to do. I think she saw everything I had I was laying on her lap when she shook the temperature and put the vaseline on it. I felt the cold air when she spread my check. I jump when she put in temp inside me. I laid their forever as she hold the temperature with her hand on my but. When she toke it out, she said I had a fever. She called my mom. Then she said my mom told my to go to bed, and my mom will be home shortly to take care of me, That was the most embarrassing rectal temp

Hannah, where do you live?

Actually, what I thought would be an embarrassment turned out not to be. I've posted in other threads about when my asthma kicks up and sometimes a simple cold can turn into major congestion and a respiratory infection if I'm not careful. I remember that I got a infection just when our family was changing doctors. I hadn't met the new office staff yet when I got sick and called for an appointment. The receptionist put the nurse on the phone, and she asked me about my history and if I was running a fever. Without really thinking I told her I was so congested that my husband took my temperature in my behind. Then I quickly added, "This is embarrassing." The nurse laughed. "Don't give it a thought...if you didn't mind, I'm sure he didn't either!" We became the best of friends.

For me it's all about the embarrassment and control the nurse has over me.

It's way more accurate than ear, skin or axillary (armpit) temps. It is a degree higher than oral. Oral temps can be inaccurate if the mouth is not closed or if hot or cold liquids are drunk before the temperature is taken.

I've seen childhood friend's brothers or sisters getting their temp taken rectally. My friend's sister, Jane, was always getting her temp. taken rectally, or so it seemed. I went to use the bathroom, and stumbled into her laying on the bed with a thermometer in her butt. Both of us were around 12, or 13. It was more embarrassing for me, I think. It reminded me of a bird in the oven, with one of those "pop-up" thermometers. The image is still with me some 40+ years later.

I take mine nearly every day. I love people taking it that way. Yes still embarrassing. The doctors I've talked to say Yes its still the most accurate way to get a true reading.

As an army medic, i take rectal temperatures all the time, the boys call it "the silver bullet" because it looks like a silver bullet at the end. This thing is put up the boys anus when they pass out in the heat because we need an accurate core temperature, 104 its evac to the hospital, under 104, its strip down, cool down and hydrate. We do this in the field, in the middle of a road, or leaning up against a tree, and yes there are a bunch of other guys looking on. Its no big deal, its MEDICINE.

Kids should not be tolerated to refuse or complain about a rectal temperature, it could be the difference between aspirin, or a cold shower and water, or $5000 emergency room visit where they will get their bottoms violated anyway. I had one of my boy scouts drop like a rock after a bike ride. Got overheated, threw up and passed out. I stripped him down naked, and covered him with wet cloths. Took his rectal temp and it was 103. As he came to, started 50/50 gator aid and water, and once he could stand, into a shower with me. I held him up as the cool water ran. Soon his temp was 99 and ok.... After a bit of rest he was fine. BUT, not knowing how to treat him, could have made a huge financial difference to his family.

His doctor said we did exactly right. He asked me why his butt felt wierd, and i told him it was the vaseline i used when i took his temperature. He gasped and said "YOU LOOKED UP MY BUTT" and i said yea buddy, but it was only to make sure you werent seriously sick. He hugged me and said thanks and that it was ok... Get your kids, boys specially used to being examined in their private places because boys play hard, and forget to hydrate all the time. After a hydration crisis, you need to watch him pee and note the color, if strong yellow, he is still dehydrated. Normal boys urine should be almost clear.

Lastly, we are seeing testicular cancer in boys as young as 11. Dad's check the boys bits and make sure there are no hard spots, if so, ER for sure. Do not wait. A few days matter. I teach all the boys how to check themselves and ask them if they check every single morning, in the shower and they all do. One found a lump, fortunately a cyst, but, could have been a tumor as well.

I had posted elsewhere that I had it taken rectally at my doctors office when I was 11-12 yo when in fact Mom had started me on oral when I was 7-8yo. That was my shame as a 6th grader to have to have a stranger nurse put anything in my butt. If I didnt cooperate at the Docs there surely been a spanked butt to follow. Of course this was also in an era of respect of elders.

For me it was when I was 14 yrs old and had to go into the hospital for an ear operation I was on the peds floor this was in the 70's I was quite in embarassed that when I got to my room, the nurse told me to put on my Pjs and hop into bed, its was then she told me to roll over on my tummy and I asked her why and she told me she was going to take my temperature. I said your going to what? Then I said I am fourteen yrs old can't you take it orally and she said no. This is a pedatric floor and temps here are taken rectally, at that point my Mother told me not to argue with the nurse and do as I was told, so I rolled over on my tummy the nurse then pulled my panties down and proceeded to take my temp rectally while I changed shades of red very quickly. I was so embarassed.

It is one of those things that surely leaves a lasting impression when one is old enough to realize what is being done and if one still receives a temperature taking in this manner. I have experienced a range of emotions from shock and disbelief to mocked indignation to acceptance. At this point, it's not the only think that will visit my bottom as there is always the DRE and recto/vag experience. The RT is relatively insignificant accept for knowing how I must appear and trying to remain calm as the exam experience begins. I prefer an older nurse but that occurs less often, which brings another layer of embarrassment to the experience. For me, the bare bottom on the exam table is very arousing as a means of garnering my attention. When she tells me "Let's get your temp" and then says "It's taken rectally," there is just no other way to feel other than highly self aware as one's cheeks are spread and it's inserted. I guess it's like the old expression, "you have to taste it to know if you will like it!"

I'm sure I'm not alone with this, but several times I was given a rectal temperature when my mom had another neighbor over and they would be in the room talking as I lay there accepting my treatment. It was odd to me because they would say that I was such a good boy or something to that effect as I had the thermometer in me. I rarely ever made a peep, just accepted that this was my place.

I was at a friend's house. This happened many years ago. I remember that I had said I wasn't feeling well or alluded to that. Anyway, my friend's mom, a bit later told me to get on the bed- I did, and as I lay there, she started unbuckling my belt, unzipping my pants then physically began turning me over. Then the light went on in my head! She must have left the room to get a thermometer and as fast as I could, I was zipped, buckled, off the bed, and heading out the door. I'm guessing I was perhaps 10 or 11.Yeah, though not having my temperature taken, I was certain from home experiences, that's what I was about to get, a thermometer in my bottom...yes, a temperature taking in that circumstance would have been to my chagrin, no doubt.

The embarrassment is something that's a huge turn on for me. I love imagining that others are watching me get my rectal temperature taken. Sometimes I think about someone walking in while there's a thermometer in my rectum.

I absolutely agree, @rtobsessed -- for me the embarrassment too is the main turn-on of getting my rectal temperature taken, and I have often imagined that others are watching the procedure. Part of that is the reason why I love chatting here when I take my rectal temperature, the mere thought of some of the other chatters I am talking to being able to see the thermometer in my butt is just such a turn-on... Maybe some can relate to that.

I love it when other people can watch the procedure of taking my rectal temp. Also like role play chats with temperature check.

One time i do it during a video chat.

My rectal temperature embarrassament was when my mom was going to take my temperature in front of my dad about once of twice. My dad stared at me when I was dropping my pants to lay over my mom's lap for her to insert the cold thermometer into me. I wanted my mom to take my temperature by either me laying on my bed or her bed and she would not respect that.

I am sure the embarrassment is the reason I remember all those times at the pediatrician. Because I got switched at home, going to the pediatrician and having to bare my heinie had me embarrassed then, but when I think back on it now it is a major turn on.

BUT.... the sheer embarrassment of it is a huge turn-on that can be fun to work into a roleplay scene or fantasy. Maybe the exam room door at the doctor's office is ajar and a classmate walks by. Or getting it done in the school nurse's office while there's another student there. Having it done in a hospital room while a friend is visiting or someone in the next bed knows what's going on. Maybe a babysitter is doing it and their friend or boyfriend is over and joins them. A buddy goes to the doctor or college infirmary with you when you're not feeling well. The list goes on. The embarrassment and vulnerability, but maybe also an element of trust that they won't make fun of you or tell everyone what they saw.

Ohh that sounds so hot. I want my temperature taken when there's a risk of someone walking in.

I remember having my taken when I was between 6-8 years old, which seemed too old, in my opinion. I was at an allergy clinic and this really attractive, young female nurse told me I needed to slide down my pants and roll onto my tummy.

I couldn't believe this was happening! I protested and said that I was old enough to take it the other way, but the nurse said that their insurance wouldn't allow it until I was older.

I remember the cold feeling of the KY lube as she slipped the thermometer up my bottom. I could feel the heat fill my face as I turned dark red. Then, after a few minutes, she slipped it out as gently as she had slipped it in. The feeling of it sliding out and my hole squeezing shut, I can still remember to this day. It's what turns me on when thinking about having my rectal temperature taken as an adult by a partner!!

This was a little embarrassing, but when I was 16 I had come down a mild case of the flu. Mom came in to take my temperature and had accidently grabbed the rectal thermometer. I had already started enjoying taking my own rectal at by then. I think she was more embarrassed then me when she noticed her mistake. She said "Opps, you almost had to roll over for this one. Before she could turn to leave I had started to remove my shorts. I told her I didn't mind. She asked me if I was serious. I said yes, she then turned, left the room and came back with the Vaseline and that is how my temperature was taken until I got better.
