Other senses heightened during rectal temp?

I always remembered every time I was face down and the nurse was about to insert the thermometer. I could suddenly hear and feel more sharply. When I could no longer see the room, the nurse or my mom. I think my main concern was someone else walking into the exam room and seeing me in that position was the worst. Anyone else feel this way?

It did seem like my senses where heightened as well. Mostly touch. The flesh of my buttocks was always more acute. I would feel my mother's or my nurses fingers on my buttocks just before they were parted.

I had two older brothers plus from time to time my Aunt and Uncle and my cousin would come over to visit. So I had no control who would pop into my room to ask my mom a question or to say "hi" while I was over her lap with the glass tube sticking out of my bubble butt. Embarrassed to say the least.

My experiences were similar, though I kind of liked people seeing it done to, me. As a teen, I told my stepdad the Dr wanted me to take rectal temperatures. He bought me my own thermometer and I even had him help me a few times, though most of my teen temps were either solo or at the hands of my best friend.

I would often leave my bedroom door open a bit while I lay naked on my stomach or occasionally in a knee chest position even leaving my curtains open if I were truly brave. Not often, butt a few times.

I hear a lot that nurses and doctors leave doors open while the patient is on their stomach with a thermometer in their butt....and a lot of people pass by. Haha, that’s crazy!!! But very common I’m sure. Well now, not so since privacy is a thing now. So sad.

It was pretty much exactly the same for me too, except when the thermometer entered me, my heartbeat pounding in my ears would drown out everything happening around me. I swear I could feel the thermometer way up in my throat! After it’s removal, my external senses would one by one return to normal. It was kind of like waking up from a deep lucid dream.

Even now, I feel a sense of increased awareness when I take my temperature rectally. I enjoy the physical stimulation, and because I've been taught that it's somehow taboo to feel that way, it makes me think that I'm indulging in some hidden pleasure, that I can't share with the outside world. Truth of the matter, is that you can't share it with most folks.

It's for sure my clit is more sensitive!

That sounds like a privacy violation and with the HIPA laws now could be a lawsuit waiting to happen. HIPA is for releasing or causing medical records to be viewed by non authorized people there has to be something related for privacy during medical procedures. I'm not a doctor but I did just play golf with one.

@Moppys_jalopy yea definitely now it’s a huge lawsuit!!! But maybe back then kids didn’t really have privacy and the parents were actually ok with that too!!! Now we’ll not soooo much!!! Everyone is soooo sensitive and gets offended by every little thing.... 🤦‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦

So, what’s your handicap? Did you you beat the doc?

My medical info is just as private as my passwords, financial info. It isn’t being over sensitive to protect that info. Or visibility to my exams or my children’s. Unless I want to share it or as a fetish. Which I don’t.

My doc who considered himself a jock challenged me to a racketball game. I beat the crap outtta him. Had to let him win a few points.

Perhaps leading to a heightened sense of awareness of your environment while your temperature is taken rectally with a glass rectal thermometer leads to an increase of focusing on sensing your surroundings.

There is a lot of truth to heightened awareness. For one, I find it very difficult to have a conversation during this time. I am inclined to answer with one or two words. It's not like I can't talk, it just feels so impersonal to be engaged in conversation while a probe is nesting inside me. Second, I tend to shield my face in my arms if lying on my belly. If on my side, it is not an option so I generally close my eyes as if this adds a layer of protection. I do agree with suddenly having a more acute sense of hearing! Lastly, time just goes soooo slowly during this process.

Agree with @Amarrynth and @julie13

In that very compromising position, my hearing is acute, like the sound of the Vaseline being opened, the sound of my own breathing. Also I swear my vision is off, not quite blurred but I just can’t focus cause I’m so anxious. I alternate between burying my face in the pillow and staring at the wall in front of me. And obviously my sense of touch is 1,000x heightened!

Usually what I think happens is when nurse comes in she tells u that “the doctor needs a rectal temp from u because u have fever of unknown origin also known as (fuo) so I have to check ur vitals and core temp...if the temp is high the doctor will want to do some test to find out if it’s an infection or virus 🦠” ....so of course u know this is not the first time u have this done so u lay on the exam table in just ur underwear 🩲 and paper gown.... the crinkly paper makes noise while ur getting in position and then the nurse comes and tells u to bring ur hips up and nurse slides ur undies off completely so now ur only wearing the paper gown....then the nurse goes get the thermometer ready and u just lay there on exam table waiting in anticipation and on a side note the crinkly paper makes noise with every little movement u make....once nurse is ready she will go up to u by ur buttocks and tells u to spread ur legs alittle wider for better target 🎯....once ur in position the nurse tells u to relax while she is going to penetrate u with the anal thermometer....nurse spreads ur butt cheeks wide open and u feel very exposed !!! The nurse stares for a little bit and then she inserts butt thermometer in the rectum passing the sphincter around rectal wall to its destination ....while she is sliding the thermometer in u feel like an electric shock wave!!! U start to breath heavy and ur heart starts pounding....u gasp and grasp the table while the thermometer is going in ur butthole and u can feel like a pressure like u want to poop 💩 lol....then nurse lets go of butt cheeks and tells u to stay still for 5 min and she will be back....she leaves the room and leaves the door open for everyone to see....while ur waiting there for the thermometer to register u move alittle bit to feel the thermometer inside u....while u wait u stare at the wall in front of u or watch the people pass by the halls hoping they don’t see u lol....then nurse knocks the door while it’s open and says “ok I think it’s ready let’s check to see if u have a fever 🤒 “ she spreads ur butt cheeks wide open and takes out thermometer with one swift movement....nurse cleans the thermometer and reads it out loud 100.9 f.....and nurse types it on the computer.....

@Pittbull,

Thank you for your account of a rectal temperature session. I round it very accurate and very exciting.

As a long time rectal temperature fan, I find this thread most interesting, not to say facinating.

As I enjoy so much to have a thermometer up my ass, I would be tempted to say.that my senses are heigthened during a rectal temperature session.

But I would say that is because of the strong feeling the fact of having your temperature taken rectally causes you. You could say the same thing about love making, especially having an orgasm, or other life circumstances, such as sitting for an exam.

@Svensson ur welcome!!! I thought it was exciting too while I was writing it!!! It felt like I was actually there !!! One day lol with a medfet !!!

I alway remember the initial feeling of embarrassment at being told to turn over for my temperature to be taken. And then laying there on my stomach with my head up, hands underneath my head trying not to move on the crinkly paper. The doctor opening up the back of my gown and pulling my panties down to my knees and spreading my legs open slightly. At this point my heart would start beating like crazy and my hearing was super sensitive, it was like every move he made was so loud. Then the tingly feeling as I’d feel his one hand rest on my butt and spread my cheeks open and the other hand laying on the bottom of my but sliding the thermometer in. At this point I’d sometimes keep my head up and focus on my breathing as my heart was racing. I could feel my face and chest getting red. Sometimes I’d bury my head in my hands. An then after what seemed live forever (but was only a few minutes) he’d take the thermometer out and it was all over.

I feel the heightened sensations were the brief times before the actual thermometer being used. As an adult my temperature has been taken many times either by request or as part of a sick visit or wellness exam where I was either told it was to be rectal or given a choice which was rectally. That was part of it. The brief comments that might be or were made regarding the process. Then the directions about clothes removal, assuming the position , the shaking down (that snapping sound)the thermometer if a mercury style. The lowering of my underwear, being asked or told to lift my hips. These were the senses I was mostly interested with. Then

too the insertion and sometimes the thermometer being turned while in place, but it was the steps mostly before the actual temperature taking that heightened the situation.

Yes, I have had the same experience. My senses were raised during rectal temp
