Did you feel like a baby having your temp taken rectally?

I definitely felt that way when I went to the pediatrician as i got older. I described in another post how as a twelve year old in the sixth grade I had a rectal temperature at my yearly checkup. I was in middle school, but I felt like a baby lying on that table with my underwear at my ankles and my bare heinie on display for the nurse or anyone that might come in the room. Then when the nurse came over and spread my cheeks, I felt that there weren't many middle schoolers who were having a nurse eyeing up their heinie hole like a target. I felt instead like a preschooler. There was more shame to come in the procedure, but the next step was always the most shameful to me. The feeling of the thermometer penetrating my heinie hole was crushing. Most middle schoolers do not have that happen, but it was happening to me, just like it happened to most babies. Then looking in the mirror and seeing my bare heinie with the red tipped thermometer sticking out between my cheeks screamed toddler. Finally standing in the waiting room with a Vaseline lined crack waiting for my mom to pay the bill had me thinking that everyone knew what had just been done to me.

Did I feel like a baby? The answer is no. I just thought that when my mom took my temperature in my hiney was a normal thing for me. From being an infant until I was almost 5. I never had the chance to think not even once about that. I just dropped pants, undergarments, and just laid over my mom's lap and felt the cold rod being inserted into my hiney and I just relaxed until it was all done. The process was a bit slow. My mom did not teach me armpit until close to my 5th Birthday. This was back in late of 1983.

I HATED having my temperature taken in my bottom. I'm not sure if it's because I felt like a baby, but I almost always kicked and screamed.

With my temperature being taken rectally during my infant and toddler years; no, I did not feel like a baby. At the end of my toddler years, I was learning under arm and oral temperatures. At the doctor's office, the nurses did under arm and at home were oral temperatures. I also learned that rectal temperatures were for babies and toddlers as I got older. Now if my mon kept doing rectal temperatures until like age 10, then I would have felt like a baby.

Yes, I felt like a baby.

Nope I love to get it took rectal and even as a adult!. Only time feel like a baby is when my Nurse takes it in the diaper position and hate that as I know it's going far in and will hurt.

At home I was switched to oral when I turned 9, so prior to that no. I knew there was oral thermometers, but I just assumed you had to be older to get one. So I remember getting strep throat at 8 and having my grandmother take my temp every four hours all rectally and I did not mind. Then after I was 9 and I remember getting a bad cold and my grandmother switched me to oral. The next day I was no better and she took me to the pediatrician, the nurse did not care that my temp at home was oral and she made me bare my heinie for the thermometer. It was rectal temps until I turned 14 and stopped going to that pediatrician. I then always felt like a baby getting it up my heinie from 9-13. I do not know if it was pediatrician rules or for some reason he wanted mine taken rectally. I was what at the time was labeled hyperactive and that may have been the reason for continuing rectal temps at the pediatrician. I also spent 9 days in the hospital with pneumonia and got rectal temps 4 times a day at age 12. That was the hospital visit that made me wonder why they didn't just make me lay in bed with a bared heinie. I had from my memories the following estimated procedures in those 9 days. 40 rectal temps, 3 rectal exams, 20 shots in my heinie, 2 enemas and 36 suppositories. I really felt like a baby on that stay.

Having my very first rectal temperature taken by my older sister at 18 years old? Of course I felt like a baby.

Nightlight, tell us more about that.

Nightlight, tell us more about that.

I was sick and had a really high fever. Thus I was delirious. When my big sister had me in her lap, she tried to take my temperature but wasn't able to. For some odd reason, I refused to open my mouth and kept giggling like a two year old. After 15 minutes of trying to get me to open my mouth, she was pissed. She got vasaline, moved me and held me on her lap. I remember laughing hysterically while she did this. Finally, big sis took the thermometer, stuck it in me and moved it around a bit. As she did this, I got quiet and passed out. When i woke up, I was naked and had ice packs every where.

I'm not sure what I was thinking while it was being done, but after wards I avoided my big sister for a bit. Everytime I went to her for anything, I'd get real quiet and blush my ass off. I felt very much like a baby and still do when around her or when given rectal temperatures by my partner. My partner reminds me of my older sister, it's oddly arousing?

This happened to me once, after I had tried cheating, and I think making me feel like a baby was part of the punishment.

My mother used to take our temperature rectally whenever we seemed to have a fever. It was just the way it was done in our home. When we got older we took our temperature ourselves... rectally, of course. It was just normal for us and had nothing to do with embarrassment. I take my temperature rectally until today when I feel sick and when I play, of course.

Yes, when my gf diapers me and changes me when I pee in my diaper.

My mother was a pediatric nurse, so rectal temps were taken, regardless of age: tot- to-teen-to- twenties. The first time that I really resented it was when I was sent to the high school nurse's office and got my first oral temp. Mom picked me up from there and, when we got home, told me to lie down and undo my jeans for a rectal temp. I tried to protest, but my mom is a strong willed woman. She told me that oral temps were an approximation of true core body temperature. So, I reluctantly undid my jeans, pulled them and my panties down, rolled over onto my stomach to have my cheeks spread, and thermometer inserted. While mom was holding it in place, I wondered how many other teenage girls my age (16, I believe) got the same treatment!

When I was a kid, it was my assumption that rectal temps. were only taken on babies and very young children. Surprisingly, I discovered in my teens, that some of my classmates still had it taken in the rear, and it was common practice in pediatrics wards too. While staying at a friend's house, I think that I was around 14, his mom felt my forehead, and then retrieved a rectal thermometer and Vaseline jar from the bathroom. She told me that she was going to take my temperature, and I turned as white as a ghost. Then she told me that rectal was the most accurate way, and that she even used it herself. I refused, and she continued to try to persuade me. After her efforts failed, she was resigned to clean off the Vaseline, and take my temp. orally. It turns out, that I was normal. Years later, it dawned on me, that this woman may have wanted to see my young butt with a thermometer in it, and used an excuse to get her way. I don't know. At this point in life, nothing would shock me anymore.

I always felt like a baby when I was older. My Grandma took my rectal temp until I was almost 18. I always asked her if she HAD to take it the "baby way"

I stopped getting temps at home around 6 and remember feeling "grown up" when I graduated to the oral thermometer. Now the idea of being treated like a child is a real turn on

I don’t remember having my temperature taken rectally as a child.

Today, as an adult baby, it does make me feel like a baby 😃

Here’s what I remember:

At the age of 11, I was browsing through Dr. Spock’s ‘Baby and Child Care’ in the school library. (I have no idea why an 11 year old boy would be interested in baby care.) I came across a sketch of a baby, face down across his mother’s lap, eyes wide, and fingers splayed in surprise, as his mother held a thermometer up his bare bottom.

I had no idea that this was how you took a baby’s temperature! But, I felt a strange interest, imagining myself as the baby.

I searched out other baby care books, and found an Encyclopedia of Baby Care. In this one, there was a sketch of a baby girl, on her back with her legs held up by the ankles. Again, her mother held a thermometer up her bottom.

When I got home from school that day, I looked through the drawers in my parents’ bathroom, and I found a glass, mercury, rectal (baby) thermometer! I imagine it must have been used on me as a baby. I wish I had those memories.

That’s where my AB interests started. They are still going strong 44 years later. And, rectal temperatures, baby style, are a big part of that interest.

I really feel I like a baby, with the rectal thermometer in my mouth. But it seems that the rectal thermometer is a perfect choice for people in different ages, especially the little baby, which can be used in various of ways and gives the most accurate temperature. But it seems elder child and adults can also use the forehead or ear thermometers, which won`t give a baby effect hahah.

It makes me feel embarrassed and humiliated. That's part of what turns me on so much about it.

I absolutely agree, rtobsessed.

As an adult, it has very different connotations than when i was growing up. For sure now, it's quite shocking to have a rectal temperature taken and it surely signals this is going to be a very thorough exam. Lying there while it registers I can't help but feel very submissive and vulnerable. It's clearly awkward to say the least while getting an "accurate temperature" and knowing it sticks out between my butt cheeks for others to see whether on my belly or lying on my side with knee pulled up. Doesn't matter whether there is a gown to cover or just my briefs pulled down, it's so personal and makes me very quiet!

Not at all because in the 90's it was absolutely normal to have your temperature taken rectally, even when you got older. Adults used rectal thermometers on them as well. I didn't feel like a baby because once you were old enough to take your temperature by yourself, you were left alone in your room, for privacy.

Embarrassed, yes, quite often. But, I always knew it had to be done that way or would be, so I just accepted it. Feeling like a baby? Not really unless there were other adults around when I was a teen and they were using really childlike or condescending talk to me.

I didn’t feel like a baby as it was how it was done at the doctor, it was kind of normalcy that time. Though, It was embarrassing, being in that position as an older child, especially when others were around.

Having my rectal temperature taken as an older child definitely took me back to my childhood again. I didn´t feel exactly like a baby but beeing 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 and still have my temperature taken rectally by my parents always made me feel like a young boy again. It brought me back to age 5 and my earliest memories of temptakings which started at that time.

Humilation, shame and embarrassment are feelings connected to my first memories of rectal temptakings. And those memories has always followed me since then. And as a child the feelings always came back to me in a stronger and stronger way each year the older I got.

But secretly I loved it too and I always got an erection as soon as I heard my parents were talking about my temperature and realized that an immediate temptaking was unavoidable.

As a temptaking is always an extremely and very intimate procedure it nearly felt like a kind of violation of my integrity. Specially as I got into my teenage years but still had to submit to having the thermometer inserted rectally. It was always exactly the same procedures around the temptaking as it had always been since I was a small five year boy. So, of course it certainly made me feel like a baby again beeing forced having my temperature taken in my bottom.

I was 18 when I had my rectal temperature taken at the last annual phisical I had in high school. The school doctor took our temperature after the genital exam, asking the pupil to turn over and without further notice inserting the thermometer in his rectum. i felt humiliated by the procedure. and I wzs shocked to be treated like a baby at 18. But I must say I was also turned on to fell the hands of the doctor, a nice looking lady aged around 35, parting my buttocks and staying on them as the thermometer registered.

I don't remember getting r/t's at home when older. But at the pediatrician it was rectal. I didn't mind if the nurse was nice about it, but I felt self conscious in the waiting room. Most kids didn't go to the pediatrician after elementary school, but I kept going because it was felt they were better doctors than the family doctor my parents had seen. So I guess I did not feel like a baby, but was seen by the adults in the waiting room as an immature child that still required rectal temperatures.

Even as a toddler I felt that I was too old and mature to be treated in such a manor. It was worrisome, degrading and humiliating. Knowing I had a pending doctor’s appointment created a very real terror inside of me. Yes, having my RT taken made me feel like a baby, and I didn’t appreciate it at the time. For me as an adult, it has nothing to do with age play or feeling like a baby. It has everything to do with my childhood fears, worries and experiences. A recent emergency room visit reconfirmed all of my feelings about having my RT taken. With the exception of having it done at the hospital while unconscious, it’s been almost fifty years since my last memorable RT experience. It was like an unexpected glass of cold water in the face! I was being treated like a baby at fifty four. I couldn’t even bear the thought of it for several weeks after. Now I’m glad it’s another memory, and a new one at that! Everyone is treated as a baby when admitted to the hospital emergency room.

I always feel as an humiliating and embarassing thing and yes probably because i feel as too old to be treated like this. This is probably the reason why it is so exciting for me.
