A girl friend of mine came to the states from Cuba ten years ago. I'm very open about my fetish and let her know that I love taking rectal temps. She laughed and told me that is how she had always had her temp taken she was in Cuba. I thought she was just saying it to turn me on, but she was serious. She told me every detail about it. I automatically assumed the male doctor was doing it for his own pleasure, but she explained that it was normal for teenagers of both genders to get a rectal temp with a glass thermometer. Also she thought it was rather common in other poor countries. She is not sure if it still goes on anymore, but it did ten years ago. Yes, we played and she is very anal erotic. She was one of only three women I've slept with that had a medical fetish, which made the sex way better than normal. It was interesting that by going into great detail about rectal temps it uncovered her fetish for them that she did not realize she had. BTW, she is 25 and had her rectal temp taken by the doctor up until she left at the age of 15.
I'm curious if anyone knows of rectal temps in other countries in the present or past. I doubt if that happens in the present. I remember reading on some other board that it was normal for all ages in Denmark and France. It seems that in the states it was fairly common until the 70's. Other countries are a lot more open about nudity so I'm guessing it could have been common a lot longer. It's hard to know what is the truth because there are some odd ducks that like to fabricate stories for their own pleasure. lol
