Disliking RT's as a kid

Up until I was about 5, it seemed like a routine part of being sick and/or seeing the doctor. After that time I didn't like it because of traumatic experiences in this link, http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=77504;start=msg570363#msg570363

After that I was totally afraid to have any procedures done "back there". For a few years later, I was afraid to even lie on my belly to sleep. By the time I was 11 or so, I felt I was too big to have it done that way. Soon after, the fetish started to develop and now I wish i had a female nurse or doctor play partner to take it for me...

I was no fan of the RT anymore than I was for enemas during my early years. But mom switched me from rectal to oral thermometer about age 7, the same time that my enema position was promoted from legs-up to left side.

My rectal temps. were taken at home, until around age 5 or 6. I hated it because my older sister had her temp. taken orally, and I felt belittled and humiliated by it. I really hated the squishy Vaseline feeling that remained, and the occasional soreness that could last for hours. Luckily I was never hospitalized as a child or teen, because I dreaded the rectal temp. stories that I had heard from friends who were patients in the pediatrics ward.

As a kid RT was quite normal 'cause my parents and my doc told me that it is the best way to get a valid temperature of me

I never had the chance to dislike rectal temperatures. I was almost 5 years old when I learn arm pit.

When I started learning and knowing on what was going on around me after I had a procedure done on my ears, it was time to learn a new method on taking temperatures. If my mom kept doing rectal; that is where I would not have liked it. I looked like a 6 year old laying over my mom's lap at the age of 4.

My parents didn't take my temperature rectally when I was little, so I only knew about it from seeing a description in a childcare booklet we had around our house, and from having my mom occasionally threaten to do it when I wouldn't go along with an armpit or oral reading. At first the idea seemed repellent to me. Having my mom make that threat was enough to make me back down. But there was still something fascinating about it, and I would go back and look at that booklet over and over again. Over time the feeling changed from repulsion to something more like curiosity, and then wishing I could experience what it was like.

I hated having my rectal temp taken by the nurse. She was very rough and not friendly at all. I remember asking for oral when I was about 6 or 7. Had no idea it would turn into a fetish.

Always had my temp taken rectally as a kid. This was just the way it was at home and at the doctors office. As long as it was just an RT, I didn't have any concerns when the nurse told me to roll over.

Having my rectal temperature taken with my bedroom door ajar. I know that my bratty little brother peeked in at least once! Adding to my shame, my cousin, Tara, shared my bedroom when I was 12 and she was almost 6. She also got an eyeful of my developing behind! But, on the other hand, I could watch her getting hers taken.

When quiet young, I had a tonsillectomy. The nurse took my temperature rectally several times. I finally told her I knew how to hold the thermometer in my mouth. She said ok and that was my last rectal temp, that is until marriage when wife and I fooled around .

The times I had it done I didn't mind having it done, What messed with my head was I knew that babies were the ones getting it done this way. I wasn't no baby I was a big kid and I wasn't gonna take it that way.

I was about 8 or 9 when I learned that other children didn't get their temperatures taken in their bottom, that's when I started to ask about having my temperature taken "the other way" but I was told that way wasn't as good.

I never disliked having my temperature taken.

I always felt like I wasn't supposed to like it, so I pretended not to. The truth always was (and still is) that I completely loved it. I just thought that I wasn't supposed to, so I pretended not to like it.

One time in particular, when the pediatrician's nurse had me on my tummy I got an erection. I was SO worried that she would notice it and think I was weird. I don't think she noticed (at least I've aways told myself she didn't).

Growing up I didn't love them or hate them. When mom needed to take my temperature it was into the bed room, pants and underwear down and down on the bed on my tummy. Mom would lube the thermometer, insert it and make small talk with me for the five minutes the thermometer was inside me. That all changed one day. I was 17 and had come down with a really bad cold. My temperature was slightly elevated and mom was checking my temperature every 4 hours, rectal stopped for me when I was seven. One time that day she came to check on me and as she was shaking down the thermometer it slipped out of her hand and broke. She cleaned up the mess and left to get our digital thermometer. She came back with a thermometer case and some Vaseline. She asked it I didn't mind if she tool it rectally, our digital was not working. I said I didn't mind and proceeded to lower my shorts and underwear as mom proceeded to lube the thermometer. Let's say that the moment that bulb penetrated me, I got a shiver down my back. That felt fantastic I thought to myself. This time and I don't know why but mom put her cool hand and rested it on my bare bottom. I got goose bumps. Time passed thermometer taken out. Temp was still up. Mom left the Vaseline and thermometer on my night stand, asked if I needed and thing and left. This went on for the next couple days until I was feeling better, but I'll never forget that feeling. I didn't leave home until I was 21 and there were several other occasions I found myself on my tummy. several other stories came out of those occasions. :-)

I can not recall dislike of rectal temp but most of the time I got my temp taken under my armpit. Rt's do have a place in fun now as an adult though.

DrJ: How old were you?

When I was very young, I didn't like them but it was the only way I knew so I didn't complain. I don't really have a memory of the doctor's office before age 6 or so, but by then it was taken orally during the annual checkup so I complained a bit more when my temperature was taken rectally at home. That continued until I was about ten or so, which is when I insisted on taking it myself. I wasn't successful (or maybe I didn't want to be at that age) but got switched to oral after that regardless.

The rectal thermometer made a comeback when I was 13, and that time I didn't complain, since that's what sparked my current interest in them.

Always had my temp taken rectally as a kid. This was just the way it was until age 10 when I was switch at home and the doctor.

I didn't mind it up usually but there were a few uncomfortable times. Especially at the doctor.

Should interpolate here that my mom for years took my temperature underneath the armpit. Anyone else had it done that way?

I didn’t hate having my temperature taken as a child, as a matter of fact I LOVED IT! I loved having a strange beautiful young lady looking at and touching my “potty parts”! Yes it was humiliating, but looking back at it, I liked that too. What I hated was having my mother in the same room when it was happening; that, I for some reason had an issue with. When my babysitter took my RT to help her do her “homework,” it was the best part of my evenings with her. She was a high school-aged candy striper at the local hospital. She practiced cleaning, examining me, and taking my rectal temperature. She was either really into her new “grownup job,” or a medfet freak. Either way I was well taken care of by her. When my sitter or a nurse wasn’t taking my temp at the clinic, I was doing it myself with anything I could find that would fit into my butthole.

It feels good and seems so naughty! Why would anyone actually hate it?

For me it’s more the fear of the unknown. Will I get my temp taken rectally? In what position? How far down will my panties be? How far will the thermometer be inserted? Will it be uncomfortable? What happens next if my temp is elevated? All this going though my mind and knowing I have no say in any of the answers!

@Elle you will definitely be getting your temperature taken rectally, and your panties will obviously have to be completely removed eventually. You know this. Maybe we will get you bent over on your knees on the examination table and get you to pop your knickers down to just below your bum cheeks while you’re having your temperature taken rectally, this will take 3 - 4 minutes. Immediately afterwards either the Doctor or a Nurse will take your panties all the way off. Now turn over and lay down on your back, arms by your sides. Slide down the table for me now Elle, all the way down until your bum is off the edge. That’s it, I put my right hand behind your left knee and my left hand around your ankle, I bend your knee and lift your leg up into the stirrup. Your right leg follows next. You’re now ready for your gynaecological procedures to begin

Basically I love Rectal Thermometer as a kid and until now

Never seemed to bother me at all.

I didn't relish having my rectal temp taken. For one, it took me a long time to realize that it was the best way to get your temperature recorded but clearly the most personal and embarrassing. As a teen, the occurrence of an erection during this procedure made it more distressing. It's not like you can simply get your penis to stop! Having it done with me on my side made it less likely than when on my stomach. To this day, it will generate a reaction - not complaining - just one likes to be prepared! I continue to view the endeavor as a love-hate relationship.

I ever protested as far as I remember. Except some special cases mom always did it in privacy and never had any problem to be cooperative.

Of the infrequent RT episodes I recall (age 5--9) it was a "ho-hum" experience. Almost boring. Not done after age 9. Getting a constipation relief enema was not ho-hum. Just hearing the word: enema-- got me into verbal fussing/complaining/crying (hystronic) mode.

Only memory as a child are oral or under the arm. Don't remember rectal. But if I did, I'm sure I would have hated it for the embarrassment. Now as an adult the embarrassment is half the excitement and erotic element. But then, if it were just a parent and plus I was sick, I would have hated it.
