 As you got older past the age when kids normaly had their temperature taken rectally (5 6 7 8) were you ever asked by your parents where you wanted your temperature taken when they thought you were sick or you were actualy sick? What was your response?

When I was 7 Mom asked me if I wanted to continue with rectal temps (like Mom and Grandma did when they were sick) or if I wanted to take my temps in my armpit. I decided for my butt. Later I asked my 4 daughters the same - they still take rectal temps.

I was the oldest of three. My sister was 2 1/2 years younger and my brother 7 years younger so we had rectal thermometers (and oral that my parents used) until I was at least 12 or 13. I switched to oral around age 7 I think. I suspect the first time it was because my sister was also sick (maybe my brother as well) and Mom used the oral thermometer so she could take my temperature at the same time as one or both of them.

But I didn't switch permanently. I know that in second grade I started faking being sick to not go to school. I recall once my mother bringing the the rectal thermometer in. I complained and said I didn't use the baby one any more to which my mother replied something along the lines of she was using this one and if I didn't have a temperature I'd be staying right over her lap with my pajama pants down.

Mom continued to use the rectal thermometer if she thought I might be faking, but I didn't fake much after that one spanking nor did I always get a spanking if I didn't have a temperature. (Not all colds result in a fever of course.) I think Mom could probably pretty much tell if I was faking even without taking my temperature so she didn't need to run that test, but did so sort of a gauge as to exactly how sick I really thought I was feeling.

I dont remember exactly at which age my brother and I were asked if we wanted to change to armpit. But we preferred the way our parents took their temps - in the bottom.

My mother was relying on the neighbour lady, a nurse, who thought that rectal was always better: I got spanked when I was 16 as I didn't want to have rt and then a suppository over her knees before going to school. Her daughter, my classmate, was there, laughin'...

I always looked forward to going to the doctor because i loved having my temp taken rectally. One time we went to the doctor and the nurse gave me the choice rather than the usual lay on your tummy. She said mouth or bottom. I said bottom. my mom then said I think we'll try it in the mouth this time. so when the moment came I hated it. i hated the sharpness of it so i kept taking it out hoping they didn't get a reading. i wish now i just would have spit it out on the floor.And that was the last of the rectal temps until i woke up in the recovery room one time and i felt the nurse taking it out and then walking away when i was 12.

As a child I did not like having my temperature taken rectally. I remember very vividly when I was 10, my mother felt my forehead and announced I felt warm and she was going to take my temperature.

I was in the living room with my two sisters 6 and 8. My 8 year old sister had graduated to oral like me. I can't honestly say how my 6 year old sister's temp was taken as I have no memory of it.

Anyway, mom came in with the oral thermometer and took my temp. It came back as 97(F). I was accused of not keeping it under my tongue so she shoot it down and took it again with the warning that if I didn't keep it under my tongue she would have to get the "other thermometer" Once again it came back 97(F).

She just looked at me and left the room. She then came back with the "other thermometer" and a jar of Vaseline. My 8 year old sister smiled at me, but the 6 year old just kept watching TV. I immediately began protesting that I had indeed kept the thermometer under my tongue but my mother would hear none of it. She ordered me onto my stomach. I knew there was no way out of the rectal temp at this point so I begged to at least be taken up to my room. My mother put the Vaseline and the thermometer down grabbed my up from the couch and then pulled my sweat pants and briefs down to my knees before I could react then pushed me face down on the couch.

I laid there tears in my eyes as she spread my butt cheeks and inserted the well lubed thermometer. I tried not to think of my sister witnessing the whole thing, but it was all I could think of. Soon the thermometer was removed. I immediately grabbed my pants and got dressed as my mother held the thermometer up to the light. She looked at it then at me and announced, "Well, I guess you don't have a fever after all."

I never had my temp taken rectally after that, but I am sure this is the incident that triggered my obsession with rectal temperatures, because while I hated it at the time, and was angry for my mothers lack of trust in me, when I recall the incident today I get those "butterflies in the stomach" I think you all know what I am talking about.

I remember being asked by my mother once if I wanted her to take my temp rectally and I said no. Can't remember exactly when it was, but it was definitely after my r/t fetish had started. I almost asked her if we even had a rectal thermometer in the house; we had one when I was little and I can remember having it used on me, but once we were switched to oral, I never saw it again.

I'm in my late 30's and give myself RT's and they still hurt but do it anyway because I like it. I do it every single night I cry really hard but for some reason, I just enjoy the feeling at the same time and play doctor too.

Call me crazy but I don't care. I only wish my doctor would do it but I don't know how to ask him. Have any ideas?

RT's don't hurt! I have had 100rd since being child, I'm now 54 years old and not one RT has ever hurt. I have no idea what your doing but what ever it is your doing it wrong. If you put the thermometer in about 1/2 its length and use lube ie KY or Vaseline there is no way it will hurt.

I had met a couple of women, who told me that rt's hurt when the nurse took their temp. in the hospital. I think that it depends on the temp. taker, and also whether your anus is very tight. Personally, I had some very painful rt's when I was a kid, but as an adult, it's been incredibly comfortable.
