I'm a man in my 40s, single,live at home with my parents. My mother still takes my temperature rectally as she has always done. I lie on my side when she takes my rectal temperature. In response to Brandon's comments about casual nudity at home, I think it's fine. I go nude at home occasional around my parents. And my father also goes nude as well. Nobody gives it a second thought. It's been that way since I was a kid and feels perfectly natural.

Tom,Was wondering if you know how your parents take their own temperatures? I know where i come from it is a very common practice amongst both children and adults. When my parents came here they continued with the customs of old home in italy. It is just the way things were done,never any embaressement was associated with it. I still take my own temperature rectally as well as all my children. Paul

Hi Paul. Rectally is the only way my parents take their temperatures. I assume my mother does but I've never seen her do it or discussed it with her. She takes mine rectally and my occasionally my father's rectally. I also have taken my father's temperature rectally from my teens through the present. My mother takes mine - from childhood to middle-age. It's just normal for us. I mentioned that my father and I often go nude in the house, but my mother doesn't. Have only seen her changing, that's all. Glad to hear that you take your own temperature rectally and your childrens'. How old are you and your children? And do they accept you taking their rectal temperatures? Thanks Paul.
