Rectal temps when you were a kid

I only remember having my temperature taken rectally one time at the clinic by the doctors nurse, when I was around six years old.

I don't ever remember being given an enema at home or anywhere else.

My mom used both rectal temps and enemas when I was growing up. The first one I remember was about 4 years old when I was sick and she took me into the kitchen. The business end of the thermometer was sticking in a jar of vaseline and she pulled me across the knee, pj bottoms came down and in the thermometer went.

Those times seemed like an eternity for kid. An enema did follow. the red bulb with the black nozzle, four good squirts of soapy water. Was she obsessed with rectal temps or enemas. I would say no. I got them until 17 years old. They were more frequent pre-puberty which I started at 12. She determined when they necessary. It could be "honey" you feel warm, I need to take your temperature, true illness, a cold or even attitude.

While an enema did not always follow a rectal temp, a rectal temp always preceded an enema when given. I did not like them as kid and found them humiliating as a grew older but accepted them because the lack of cooperation would yield a spanking. At the doctors, they took rectal temps until age 13 and I remember when going to the doctors the nurse would always ask was the temp taken orally or rectal at home.

Rectal temps and enemas, with the occasional side order of glycerin suppositories were the arsenal of choice. As one other member put it here and it rang so true, "two sneezes and sniffle" and it was skirt up/pants down, panties down, and on my tummy. And the question, "How's your tummy?" was nothing more than a preamble to "Well, let's give you an enema just to be on the safe side". I've yet to figure out if Mom was just obsessed or it was cultural or what. But, as an adult I asked, and I was told, "It was good enough for me from Grandma, so....". Holy evolving enemas, Batman! I've turned into my mother!

Actually, being raised in a home with 7 females (3 were sisters), and being the only male, I got enemas twice weekly until I was about7. After that, my two oldest sisters were added to the list of givers, and Lisa (immediate older sister) and I got enemas almost every day. There were days when we got enemas in the AM from an adult, and in the PM from another adult or older sister. Of course, Lisa and I were converted to klismos early on, and started doing each other when we bathed together. So, yes.

I guess that mom was a bit "Over concerned " with our health. My sister and I had our temperatures taken virtually every morning before going to school. Usually, mom would come into our rooms and wake us up by having us roll onto our tummies so she could insert the thermometers into our butts. Like other members here, if we sneezed, coughed, or "Felt warm", it was rectal temperature taking time.

I actually became quite fond of the rectal temperature taking, butt that's a story for another time...

Back in the fifty's, for nine years, I was a single boy, my mother did not work and was somewhat overprotective. She used to take my temperature every time she though I Iooked ill or tired. That was about twice a month.

I kind of liked those moments of intimacy . My mother was allways nice and gentle and she used to tell me stories as the thermometer registered.

And I must confess that, as I was growing up, I realised I did experiment a kind of pleasurable feeling as the thermometer penetrated my rectum and was held by my mother.

As I enjoyed those moments, l was only afraid I would in fact have a temperature and my mother would call the doctor, my biggest fear in those days.

As far as anemas are concerned, I never had one, till today at 71.

I don't have a memory of having been given a rectal temp, but my mom sure liked to give them to my sisters! They also received a lot of suppositories, and desitin, for that matter. One sister grew up to be a suppository evangelist with her kids, so that figures. No enemas though.

No, my parents specially my mother never did rectal temps or enemas. They were strictly done by a healthcare professional in a healthcare facility. Only medical my mother did was administer shots and supps, and the occasional fleet enema, back when I was a kid only doctors offices and hospitals had enema bags... oh and my grandma... don't know how she had one but she did.

Unfortunately, I did not get any. I wish I would have because maybe I could have played with the enema bag when I was a teenager. My mom never messed with that area down there. Temperature was taken under the armpit.

Though I don't recall having a rectal temp I know I did because the one and only time my mom gave me an enema was when I was 9 and I had asked her to give me an enema. As she inserted the nozzle from the bulb enema I remember it feeling like she was inserting a thermometer in my butt...It felt good.

Every time I don't feel well or look like I might be getting sick my mom always takes out the lubricant and the thermometer

I got rectal temps morning and night from my mother

Same thing at the doctor's office I went to they always ask my mom if the temperature was rectal oral

Yes every time I didn't seem well or looked warm it was the rectal thermometer time

My mom took my temperature rectally only when I was sick. My mom didn't give me enemas

Growing up in the 50s, I think rectal temps, enemas and bare bottom spankings were a family cult.

Many friends have recounted stories of their mothers, grandmothers, aunts and even older teen cousins into the family enema cult.

Because I have been extremely interested and turned on by getting enemas from family members, secretly watching my RN mother giving enemas to neighbor ladies, my female teen cousins and my grandmother, I always enjoyed the numerous times I was to get a clean out by some female in the family.

I’ve enjoyed receiving from my mom, grandma, two aunts and three teenage cousins. It all started when I was six or seven and continued until I left home for college.

I could ask one of those aunts or cousins to help me out when I was home from college. I was always horny in those years and those enemas fed those feelings.

I was especially pleased when my giver would decide she needed or more probably wanted me to give her an enema or two for her pleasure and relaxation.

Giving a cousin or aunt an enema started in my late teens. I always got an amazing erection when I gave enemas. If I got an erection while receiving, it was rarely mentioned because it was just a part of the process.

My girl cousins always wanted to be totally nude for their enemas. My aunts would only remove their slacks and panties or pull their dresses up and remove their panties for their enemas. The exception was if they were getting enemas before their baths. In those cases, they would remove their bathrobes and be completely nude. I liked that because I loved looking at their large breasts.

My aunts are gone now but my senior cousins are still willing to give or take if the occasion or need arises.
