Age during first rectal temp for doc

First memory is probably around 4 years old. I remember having to take my pants all the way down, and then lay down on my belly on the exam table. I distinctly remember my penis pressing against the crinkly exam paper. To this day I get aroused by the sound/sight of that paper. Either the nurse or the doctor inserted it into my rectum and it sat there for a while. I remember when they went to take it out, they accidentally moved it to the side and it felt really nice. Kind of forgot about that until many many years later when I discovered the pleasures of my anus. When i first felt that jolt I was instantly transported back to that exam table. It's a fond memory.

I can’t remember ever having it done as a kid. When I was young it was always a strip on my forehead that was used at home. I can’t remember if / how the doctor took it.

Being a baby of the 90s, rectal temps past infancy we’re not the norm for me and I do not remember them - save for the one and only experience I do remember, to which I attribute the fetishes that comprise a large part of my sexuality today.

I often experienced febrile seizures as a kid - nasty episodes, from what I’m told. Following one of them, as I remember it, I was brought to the ER and in quite a bit of a fit and flailing about. I recall vividly staring up at the triangle patterned ceiling as my arms and legs were held down and a thermometer forcibly slipped into my bottom. I wailed my lungs out, but as expected it was of no use; I had lost.

I doubt anyone in the situation thought twice about the impact it would have on me today.

The first I remember was when I was 3. It stayed in for what seemed like an abnormal amount of time. But it didn't hurt at all which was a plus.

I was 5 or 6 years old when the doctor took my temperature rectally and I really loved it.

My first time getting a rectal temperature at the doctor's office is when I had a physical exam for Boy Scouts. I was 13 years old and my Dr had me lay on my left side knees to chest position. After the temperature taking, he conducted a rectal exam. Lucky my parents we not there.

My first actual memory I was probably 3 I remember being on my tummy the nurse inserting it and telling me to be a big boy. It felt look it took forever but was probably 3 minutes I also remember watching her clean the thermometer and stick it in the holder and of course I watched her remove it and shake it down every visit after.

This is an interesting question. I was young likely 5 years old if not younger. What stands out is not the first time but the first time that I realized what was taking place and how it made me feel from an emotional or psychological perspective. For me that was when I was at least 12 or older. The ordeal of having to undress and have my bottom exposed for a temp became hard to ignore or minimize. No amount of conversation made it seem trivial. Total awareness became a consequence and remains as such to this day!

I guess it would be 2-3, I hardly really remember. But I remember that I had a high fever and was then diagnosed with pneumonia after checking all over. He ended up sending me to the hospital. That was my first experience staying in the hospital.

I dont remember the first time as i was so young; however i do remember one time in particular.

I was 10, i had been sick all morning so my mom took me to the doctors and i was vomiting that morning. The nurse had me strip to my underpants weighed me, and had me get up on the table. She said "I need you to lay on your tummy as im going to have to take your temperature rectally". My heart began to beat harder. I love the feeling of having my temperature taken rectally. I laid on my tummy and felt the paper crinkle under me. I lay my face sideways facing the nurse. The nurse put both hands on my waste-band of my underpants and slowly slid them down to my knees where she always stops. This time she keeps going past my knees past my ankles and all the way off. Now i was totally nude. I could feel my erect penis pressing against the table. The nurse placed one hand on my lower back and rubbed gently. She stoped then i saw her get the rectal thermometer and dip it in vasaline and coat it with a good glob. I was hoping that she couldn't hear my heart pounding with excitement. She walked over to me. I felt her hands on my inner thigh as she gently spread my legs. and said "Ok honey im going to insert the rectal thermometer in your fanny now". i could feel her thumb and index finger spread my but cheeks and she slowly slid the thermometer in my butt. I let out a slight moan as the sensation was awesome. I clinched the paper on the table with my fists. I could feel the nurse twirl the thermometer in my butt. I remember thinking how great this sensation felt. I could tell the nurse was having a little fun at my expense as she slid the thermometer out a little then back in then out and then slid it fast deep in my rectum. My body shook with excitement, i could feel me getting harder. I closed my eyes thinking how i hope this lasts a while. The thermometer was in my rectum for about five minutes. She slid it out and wiped it down. I started to get up as my throbbing penis was beginning to hurt. I felt her hand go back on my back and she said "Not yet hon, im not done". So i laid back down. My heart pound with excitement. I thought "did she not get a good reading? Is she going to take my temperature again?" So as i lay there she said to me, "i need to give you a suppository to help you to stop vomiting ok?" Again i felt he thumb and index finger spread my cheeks apart. Again my heart pounds with anticipation. I see her lube up the suppository and then she turns and i feel it slowly being slid into my anus. It goes past my sphincter muscle and deep in me along with her finger. Again i let out a slight moan of pleasure. She removes her finger and tells me its ok for me to get up now. As i get up i notice a small dime sized puddle of wetness where my penis laid. In hopes no one sees it. I get up and get dressed and i can feel the suppository inside me. This was one of my most memorable rectal temperatures. I had always gone to this doctor.

@phantasy omgggg must have been embarrassing!!!! What did ur mom/dad say when the nurse took off your undies!!??? Did they say anything??? Did the nurse have small talks with ur parent while you laid on the exam table naked!!??? Lol

@Pitbull My mom was not in the room she felt i was old enough to go in myself. Being naked actually made the visit more exciting.

@phantasy isn’t it funny that you were old enough to go by yourself but the doc/nurse still treated you like a kid lol maybe cuz in reality you were a kid 👦

@pitbull yes i was a child but liked going in by myself i was uncomfortable having my mom in there with me. Because i felt i was old enough to go in by myself also. My mom always took me to the doctors but my dad always took my rectal temperature at home.

I wrote this before on another post. The young nurse at my Pediatricians office starting at about 3 or 4 yrs old. The nurse would get me ready for his examination by removing all my clothes including socks and underpants. She would lay me on the table, on my belly, spread my cheeks rub lube in my rectum. Then she would lube up the tip of the thermometer and insert it deep into my rectum and hold it there with her hand.

My first memory is around 3 years old at the hospital. I certainly had my temperature taken rectally before at the pediatrician, although I don't remember it.

It was late at night. It happened shortly after I arrived at the hospital. I remember spending a long time lying on my belly in a bed with my underpants down. I had my temperature taken in my bottom with my parents and several nurses and doctors watching and talking about me. They were really concerned but I was too young to really be aware of it. Then a needle was inserted in my buttocks. I was very surprised but I didn't cry. It was the first and the last time.

I had a blood disease and I stayed at the hospital for at least 2 weeks. During my stay the nurses took my temperature in my bottom at least twice a day.

I was about 7 and had to have a hernia operation. When I got up to my room with mom and dad, I was told to change into a hospital gown. I went in the bathroom and came out with the gown. As I hopped up into bed the nurse grabbed me and said not so fast kiddo, I need you to turn over on your tummy so I can take your temperature. I did as I was told and she opened the back of the gown to bare my bottom, in front of everybody. She explained that we do it this way if you are under 13. I saw her squirt some lube from a tube onto the thermometer and then she spread my butt cheeks in slid it right in. I felt an immediate tingle in my butt and groin. It felt really good! She left it in for about 5 minutes the whole time talking to my mom and dad. I was hospitalized for 5 days after the surgery and my temp was taken like that 4 times a day. I always looked forward to it!

A doctor has never taken my temp. It has always been taken by a nurse. I remember my sister being born when was two, (so I can remember that far back). I definitely remember receiving rectal thermometers while over my mother’s lap at the clinic. After a few years of Mom’s lap I graduated to the paper covered cold hard exam table, but I would be willing to bet that (my very first rectal temp was taken the day I was born). It was imprinted in my brain on that day, and has remained with me ever since!

You're most likely right, it is common practice to take a baby's RT after they're born to check both their temperature as well as if their rectum is normal. The passing of a thermometer glass or digital into a baby's rectum tells the doctor after birth if the baby's rectum and anus is open. There can be a rare birth defect where the anus and rectum are closed, and if this is the case surgery is needed to correct the defect.

I was 11 and just started to see a new doctor because we moved. He had my in a gown with my panties and socks on. After examining me in the frog leg position, I pulled my panties back up and sat back up. He told me that he was going to take my temperature so I sat there waiting, thinking it would be a thermometer in my mouth. He then told me to lay face down on the table, so I moved around on the crinkly paper and laid face down with my head up looking at him. He walked over to the exam table with a thermometer and a jar which he put down on the table next to my legs. He then opened the back of my gown and put his hands inside my panties and pulled them down to around my knees and reached up and put his hands between my thighs and told me to open my legs a little. I was so confused as to what was going on but didn’t ask him anything and just did as I was told. Then he put one hand on my lower back and moved it down onto my butt and spread my cheeks open, at this point I kept my head up staring straight ahead as the cool air hit my private areas. Then with his other hand he applied some lube to my butt which felt very weird to me and then he told me to relax and inserted the thermometer causing me to clench and unclench my butt cheeks several times. I was so embarrassed and yet strangely excited by this. He kept it in for several minutes before removing it and telling me that my temperature was normal. Then he took a Kleenex and wiped my bottom and told me that I could sit back up.

I’m pretty sure the first time would’ve been shortly after I was born. Being born in the 70s, all children had their temps taken rectally at least to age 8 that I knew of, some even longer (like me-12). Most hospitals took rectal temps even on teenagers.

But my first actual memory of it beyond just another trip to the doctor was at about 4 or 5 years old. We were shopping for a new pediatrician, and we tried this one that did things very differently. When we (mom and I) went back to the exam room, all of my vitals were taken by the doctor. The thermometer was a digital probe, connected to a big box on the wall. When it was time for my temp I was told to lie on my tummy for my temperature. Nothing new there, so I did as I was told and the cold probe was slid in. The doctor told me to lay still and he would be back, while he asked my mom to come into his office. They left me laying there naked with the probe in my butt and door wide open, but it was a small clinic and we were the only ones there. The box beeped loudly, but no one came. I obediently laid there for what seemed like a very long time. Finally I got up, put my undies on and went to find them. The doctor was very angered I had gotten up and scolded me for not listening. I remember thinking I was about to get a spanking. He took me back in there and took my undies back off and stuck the probe back in my butt and told me this time not to move until they came back. I laid there naked and crying from the scolding and embarrassment of the whole situation. We finished the exam, but my mom never took me back to that clinic. We both agreed that doctor was mean.

I would say for most that it was long before being able to talk, walk, or even crawl. With that being said, it would be impossible to arrive at an answer to this question.

I remember RTs at the doc when I was 7 and below. Typical routine was going into exam room with my mom and the nurse. Undressing down to underpants. Then nurse checking vitals calumniating with laying belly down on the exam table with my underpants lowered and the glass thermometer slid into my butt. I focused mostly on whether my underpants had been removed or just lowered. If just lowered, they'd (hopefully) be coming back up after the RT and I mostly likely wasn't going to be getting a shot. If they were removed, I knew it was because I was probably getting a shot.

It was usually the nurse that removed the thermometer but sometimes the doctor had arrived and did the honors.

My underpants barometer wasn't a very reliable predictor, but it was all I had until I got brave enough to just ask the nurse or doctor if I was getting a shot.

The earliest i remember is 4 yrs old. For ever visit whether vaccinations, well visits and of course strep which was followed by a tylenol suppository and a painful penicillin injection.

I think I was about four years old . We , my mother and I ,were in the doctors office for an appointment and it was our turn to enter the exam room . Our doctor's nurse was there and she was also a family friend . I recall that my mother undressed me down to my tee-shirt and white cotton briefs . The nurse and mother were in a lively conversation and the nurse placed a large plastic covered pillow on the exam table . My mom removed my cotton briefs and laid me on my tummy on the pillow . All the while mom was getting me disrobed and positioned for what was to come our nurse friend was busy lubricating her rectal thermometer . When positioned , I looked up at the smiling nurse holding up the ‘ glistening ’ glass rod when she with a large smile of confidence said to me … ‘ this ’ won't hurt ‘ . All was ready so my mom placed her thumbs on my little boy bottom slowly separating my fanny cheeks and said …’ we have to find the ‘ little hole ’ for Mrs. …… ‘ . Then our nurse slowly but with precision inserted the rectal thermometer into my fanny and after insertion my mom released my buttocks and the nurse placed her warm on my bottom with the thermometer between her fingers . She and my mom again carried on their animated conversation as though they were having coffee in the home . After the proscribed time in my rectum , nurse slowly removed the thermometer , she wiped the remaining lubricant from the thermometer , read and recorded the reading while mom quickly wiped my little bottom placing me back into my briefs . All was so long ago but was memorable to me for some unknown reason . I saw our nurse friend over the years and she was quite elderly the last time I saw her . I often wondered if she recalled taking my temperature rectally that day in the doctor’s office . I never discussed the past event with her and I am sure that she ‘ RT-ed ’ many a young fanny in our small town of that day . One event not related here as to this thread was when our nurse friend came to our home early one afternoon a few years after the above office event and while there she gave my mother an enema .

Still to this day,rectally is the only way my temp ever get checked both at home or at appointments.Because I am still considered just a baby girl,who is diapered 24/7 365.

I have vague memories of the doctor coming to my parent's home, and taking my rectal temp., when I was around age 2 or 3. Beyond age 5, it never happened. The pediatric group where I went, was fine with allowing oral temps. to be taken, as long as you could hold the thermometer under your tongue for 3 minutes. I was never a quick learner, until it came to that. I hated rectal temps., and wasn't going to allow it to happen. I knew other kids, who were close to pre-teen years, and probably beyond, who just couldn't get the hang of an oral temp.

The first I remember was at age 7. I remember being placed on my stomach, with the nurse holding the thermometer once it was inserted. I'm sure this wasn't actually the first time it was done like that on me, just the first time I actually remembered it.

In our house anything to do “down there” was strictly taboo.

My only recollection is engraved in my mind. I was about 3 when I found myself on my back on my mom's bed. I believe that I was naked from the waist down. Legs bent, feet flat. In this position all mom would have to do was put her arm under my knees and roll me back.

I don't recall the actual insertion but when mom walked away, probably to use the toilet, I played with the thermometer. I pushed it in a few times, and it felt real good. From what I assume, I have been anal erotic ever since.

I think the first one I really can remember was probably around 3 or 4. All I can think is that I just went along with it because that's “how Mommy did it”. I do remember Mom saying something like “Just do what you do when Mommy takes it”, or something like that to the nurse to insure that I cooperated or whatever.
