I had my temperature taken rectally as a kid numerous times, but I can only remember three instances. The first was at home on the livig room sofa, which I did not care for. The second was at our pediatrician's when I was probably five. It was trumatic and I cried the whole time, probably because they gave me a shot in the rump just before and I must have associated the sting of the needle with the r/t itself.
The last one is the most memorable because it planted the seeds of my r/t fetish. I was seven and had an ear infection. Our pediatrician couldn't see us, so my mother took me to our neighborhood doctor who lived down the street from us. I figured I'd just get a prescription for ear drops and that would be it, but no, the nurse took my vitals and said she was going to take my temperature rectally. I immediately felt apprehensive becsue I was afraid it would hurt, but didn't say anything. The next thing I knew the thermometer was inserted and it felt wonderful, a sensation unlike any other. A funny thing, classical music was piped in and as the thermometer was registering, the Toreador March from Bizet's Carmen was playing. All too soon it was over and much to my dismay, I never had another r/t at the doctor's again. Of course, I've been taking my own temp rectally for over 40 years now (not to the strains of any music, though).
