Phsycological effects of rectal temps and meds

Does anyone here think they were psycologically messed up because of everything that was administered rectally and IM injections? Im not sure because i hated it as a kid but dont mind it as much now, but am baffled that people my age(not even 21 yet)didnt go thru it. My mom was really old fashioned and is a lot older. She was 40 and 42 when she had my sister and I. Our doc that past away was also hers so that had something to do with it im sure. My sis and i never bring it up now. Its in the recent past though.Funny how some folks think i am lucky to experience it. I gotta laugh sometimes.

Ophelia this is quite an interesting topic that I really think has no simple answer to be honest. A lot of what is done or occurs in our childhood tends to affect our development and shape our outlook on life. With regards to things administered rectally, rectal temps or IM injections, it seems to be more of a trigger into developing a medical fetish related to anal play.

Most individual with admit not liking certain procedures performed on them but the about the age of puberty, those feeling change and you enjoy more enjoyment from having it done.

This thread is very interesting and is worth a look http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=5843

You have to remember that during your Mom's childhood things like rectal temps, enemas and IM injections were commonly accepted as being normal for health and well-being as everything could be fixed with an enema and a shot of penicillin. With regards to rectal temps, its the most accurate method ( the gold standard ) for trying to fine your core temperature so I'm not surprised an old schooled doctor would use that.

Its seems that modern healthcare is aimed at trying to ensure modesty overrides a proper clinical exam, whether this stems from the increase in medical malpractice lawsuits or from the greater reliance on technology like CT, MRI, Chest Xrays, Ultrasounds, Bloodwork etc remains unknown. Hope this helps, and I really dont believed that we were " psychologically messed up because of everything that was administered rectally and IM injections".

I wouldn't say I became psychologically messed up but the various rectal experiences I had as a child definitely revved up my sexuality to the next level. Before all the anal insertions, I was already masturbating constantly, and experiencing anal insertions gave me a new perspective of what else was possible in terms of pleasure. I also have a female friend who is the same way from all the suppositories that were administered to her as a child.

I doubt there is much of a connection between rectal temps/medications or whatever and anal play, enemas or anything else because MANY more people have had those experiences than those with the fetishes and many with the fetishes have never had rectal temps/meds/enemas or whatever.

If you were going to have the fetish, you would have figured it out anyway.

Many people want a reason (some want to blame others) for developing certain fetishes.

Sis & I were not damaged psychologically, but do blame Grandma's daily laxatives, frequent suppositories and twice-weekly enema series with causing our shared chronic constipation. We don't mind, though, because we both enjoy enemas, and her treatments have offered us many decades of klismaplyllic bliss. As mentioned in other posts, Sis suggested we start sneaking enemas when she was about 13 & I was 10 or 11. Long before that though, she would sneak into my room at night and take my R/T, then have me take hers. When she was 16, she brought home a jar of glycerin suppositories. There was a strip of grass between the rear of the garage and Gram's 8 ft privacy fence. It was only visable iff you walked out to the back fence and looked. Sis led me back there, where we removed our pants and undies and giggled and teeheed as we took turns pushing them into each other until one (me, of course) had an accident. The loser bought the winner's ice cream bars for a week. After 7 supps I lost my load. Just for bragging rights, Sis had me keep pushing them inti her. She "exploded" after #12. Scared us both because she had blood in her poop. Aside from that, we forgot to bring toilet paper, but Grandma never said a word about the stains on our undies.

Having grown up right at the end of the "golden years" of the enema, I was surprised once when my older sister, who was enlisted in the WAVES at the time I was born, joked a few years back about our mother giving all of her children a "bathroom complex" which made reference to her love of administering enemas and suppositories at the least indication of some health issue. I don't think we were damaged physiologically, but we all learn to take and enjoy a good warm enema, or rectal temp, or suppository.

I was not damaged psychologically but I think my injection fetish is a result of all the penicillin shots I got in the butt as a child. I had two or three throat or ear infections every winter. Every time I would either wind up at the doctors office or he would make a house call and I would get a penicillin shot in the butt. Sometimes I would get another one 2 or 3 days later. I hated everything about those shots, having to pull my pants and underwear down in front of the doctor, the nurse, my mother and the pain of the shot. I tried everything to avoid them but nothing worked. I remember too well laying on the examination table in the doctors office with my pants and underwear down at my ankles listening to the doctor prepare the shot. Back in those days, the doctor had a waiting room, an office, and one examination room. The doctor gave the shots himself. I remember him having a nurse and she was present at all the exams at his office, but I don't remember what she did.

But now as an adult I love painful shots in the butt. I like them best when I am getting them from a lovely lady and lying nude on a bed or exam table. So I think this is a direct result of all the shots, etc. as a child.

What I hated and tried to avoid as a child, I can't get enough of now.

I'm sure that the end psychological result is the fetish, which is the reason that most if not all of us post here. That's not necessarily a bad thing. For me, it's expanded my sexual imagination, and made me more adventurous with girlfriends. Some of them have responded negatively, which can be expected. Some adults think of anal play as dirty and perverted. (That's their misfortune !).

I was given shots at school with all the other kids. This was in europe,and these shots were given almost in the center of the upper back. It was very painful and i still have trouble even looking at a needle on some of the medical shows.

When ever shots were to be given at school,i would take off from school,but ,was always caught,punished and receive the shot anyway.

To this day,i always dread even having a blood test,and of course never look.

I guess these early chilhood trauma's never seem to ever go away.

I am 24 & just realizing that my fetish is too much. I am not able to pin point where or when my fetish for IM injections started. I feared them until I was about 9 yrs old. I hated them with a passion & now I get wet just by seeing someone get injected. I think ive learned how to properly inject through watching others, yet I have never done it. My fantasies involved getting injected, yet i cant remember my last injection. Maybe I am just accepting this fetish & will have the guts to seek getting injected soon.

Probably your first injections received did it.

Dont worry you are not alone, here we are a lot with it and do enjoy it 😃

I think of myself as different, not "Messed up!". Rectal temps and spankings were given to me, as a child, and I grew up to enjoy them. I accept who I am and I try not to force my "Interests" on other less-willing people. Luckily, there are people within my family and circle of friends who share my interests. In my book, the messed up people are the ones who never had a rectal temp or a spanking, yet crave these activities. Many of them will go through life wondering why they do so!

Ophelia: I think my adult fetishes partially arise from being spanked, receiving suppositories and one DRE as a kid. I think that I would not have been so curious about anal penetration, especially from females, if I had not had the surprise of a well-lubricated and gloved finger up the rear back then (female GP), and the feeling of numerous suppositories (mommy).

But, as Susie says, it's not as simple - not everybody who got that as a child ends up with such fetishes, and not everybody with such fetishes had such things as a child.

@Pecan_nutjob - Somehow I don't think @Ophelia will notice. .Had you clicked her profile ??

For me there was and continues to be a clear distinction between what took place at home while growing up and the annual trek to the doctor's for my physicals and sick visits. Rectal temps happened at home and that didn't have the intimidating impact that it did at the doctor's and all that followed. Doctor exams then and now meant having to get undressed often beyond what I might have preferred and regardless of how nice the doctor and nurse were having to experience a lot of exposure and probing along with the occasional shot, which sometimes meant having to take it in my bottom. No amount of pleading or questioning changed that outcome. "Turn over or bend over," those two words are enough to make me incredibly self conscious and zero in, if you will, on what is about to happen. The experience of then dressing and still having the ky sensations and the scent of the alcohol wipe as well as the possible soreness from a shot makes it unique yet something that just links me to all my past doctor visits over time. It is such a strong psychological and physical connection. "Julie, the doctor will see you now."

As a young child, I always was annoyed by RTs, but my first enema was an altogether different matter. That early experience definitely caused me to fixate on anal play possibilities from that moment on.

I don't know if there were psychological after effects, but I do know at my core I am a submissive person. I think that is DNA, not something you simply learn or adopt one day. Be it at the pediatrician's office when the nurse took my temperature rectally in front of my mother or at home when my mother was the care giver, it was something that I accepted and did not fuss about. To the best of my recollection, I never fought this, argued or refused. I did get quiet and obedient to the directions of the nurse or my mother. Shots on the other hand were accepted, but I hated them and often tears were spilled.

I loved rectal Temps as a child ...but I loved anything anyone put up me...lol

Hey. I will soon be 61 and this definitely carries certain psychological baggage. What else can you do but deal with it?

Like Shiela, I can deal with it. Unlike her, I was not taken aback when my bottom was bared for a rectal thermometer. I can say that I did not liked injections in my butt until I was an adult, and I did fight them as s a kid.

But, it is all life, and I survived.

NOW, go out and make it a gr8 day!

Various experiences DID have their impact.

Refused a shot as a kid; was held down physically by two nurses; VERY tensed up; extremely sore afterwards.

Also, heard a kid in the next bed get a rectal suppository. He didn't want it and fought.

No, none of this messed me up. I had no fear of pulling my pants down for an RT. That always came first at the doctors office. When the nurse came in with a tray with a syringe on it, that's when I got panicky. Hated shots back then. Look forward to them now.

Does anyone here think they were psycologically messed up because of everything that was administered rectally

It appears that anyone who could be "messed up" by rectal temps or meds was messed up on their own beforehand.

As a child I absolutely loathed what always happened to me while visiting the doctor’s office, but when I got home, I was more than willing to daydream about what transpired. My rectal temp and thermometer fetish definitely started as an infant and toddler. I don’t think that I’m “messed up,” because I’m certainly more than happy to have my little quirk.

I think that any unpleasant experience will have a lasting effect, as you go through life. I've met grown adults who cringe at the thought of a needle, or a dental visit. It's not as simple as "oh, grow up, and get over it, " to deal with it, and get past it. Personally, I've met women who refused a rectal temp. from me, only because of earlier painful memories. They just assumed that it would hurt. Being a gentleman, I didn't want to push the issue. Any psychologist or mental health idiot, can create a "study, " which "proves" that something as benign as a rectal temp. is cruel and unnecessary. I would disagree with them. Use your own judgement.

This is a fascinating post. I would like to think that now as an adult, I am no longer traumatized by doctor visits from my youth. That said and because of the nature of this website, I surely have a mix of feelings that I do share and memories that have since become more arousing than scary. So with time, I do hope bad memories ease. I am well aware that for some, one's medical past, could have been horrible and traumatic. Mine has been and is continuing to be rather vanilla as far as that goes.

Be well.

I really don’t know how rectal temps psychologically affected me. I just know I hated it as a toddler. I never had it taken that way after the age of three. But it developed into a sexual proclivity even at the age of 5. It’s amazing how a somewhat, even overtly traumatic event can turn into fetish. I’m interested in the psychology of it.
