At What Age Did Rectal Temps Stop For You

Rectal temps stopped when I was ten and then began again when I was thirteen and began high school. Mother told the doctor he should give me more complete exams, so he went back to rectal temps.

My mom stopped taking my temperature rectally when I was 16 or so, but that was in the warly 60s and not that uncommon then.

My mom stopped taking my temperature rectally when I was 10 that was also in the 60s that common then.

My last rectal temp was at the age of 14 at the hospital. my last rectal temp at home was taken by my mom at the age of 12.

I was 6 years old in the hospital.

My Mom was cheap. At about 12 I asked if she could get a oral thermometer, she said do you know how much they cost, we can't afford that . So the rectails went on till almost 17. but by then insted of laying down on my bed uncoverd. she had me laen over the bathtub and kjust lower the back of my pants and briefs

They stopped this way for me in my mid-teens, but it was a differentt era

Unfortunately it stopped at 8. I remember when the kind lovely nurse removed my pants and underwear, she then asked me to lay on my tummy. She gave me candy, then walked to the other side, grabbed a glass rod, she lubed it and slowly started to insert it into my rectum. The cold, smooth and rigid feelings of the thermometer slowly penetrating my butt and the thought that, this sweet lady is pushing it inside of me has created the strangest and the sweetest reaction in my life. Years later I knew it was a hard on. I really wish to experience this again.

My mom and step dad loved taking my temp rectally. It stopped when I left for college. I always let them do it when I came home for breaks. If I felt like I was getting a cold or too warm I would enlist a friend to take it, and if none were around then I would do it to myself.

Im still taking it that way today.

Stopped at age 11 or 12

They must have stopped when I was about about 10. After that I took them on myself and still do.

Stopped around 10 fro me

I don't ever remember having one.

Stopped around 9 for me

Age 17. Rectal temp was done for one of two reasons: suspected fever or brown satins in underpants, indicating need for an enema. if there was anything on the thermometer when mom took it out, I'd get an enema.

About five or six.

I think it was about six or seven. I remember having it taken by the school nurse one time when I was 6 years old and in 1st grade.

About 9 or 10 ish... 😄

At age five I started to become embarrassed by my mother taking my temp rectally. After I complained and resisted a couple of times, she switched to an oral thermometer. I have one memorable experience of her taking my temperature rectally with my aunt, her much younger sister, watching that may have occurred after age five; I cannot pin down the time with certainty.

I would say around the age of 12. I certainly remember the time between 12 and 13 where, being at the doctors office, I was always hoping of having my temperature taken in by behind from the very nice and beautiful nurse but at that time they changed from rectal glass thermometers to digital ear thermometers so I would sit there dissapointed with a rubber tip in my left ear. Probably this was the trigger to start looking for glass thermometers and taking my temperature the old way for pleasure.

Around 8 or so I think

The last that I can remember was at 6 or 7. They might have continued for sick visits a few years after that, but my memory is hazy.

My Doctor did rectal temps till age 13, I turned 13 in 1971. I was living in rapid city South Dakota. I only recall one oral temp before age 13 and that was in the school nurse's office she did an oral temp when i was 7 or 8 i recall hating the feeling of the glass thermometer in my mouth. I have never liked oral temps and actually got my mom to do rectal till I left home. Not a lot of luck with the doctors office sorry to say.

My mom started oral around 6. Probably 7 at the doctor.

I was 60's kid my doctor did RT on kids to age 13 and at home mom did rectal temps till 13 as well.

I think I was born getting RT's. I think I got them until about 12 or 13. I'm surprised I didn't get a hardon. Since born anything near/in my butt gives me a large hardon. I think I was born with my finger up my asshole! LOL!

Mom took my temperature rectally until 6 at home, but at the hospital or clinic it was until age 13.

My Mom took my temperature rectally until I finished university and moved away from home in my mid-20's. The doctor took it that way until I was 13.

I was also a 60's kid mom did rectal temps till age 9.

They ended for me at age 6.
