This is very interesting. Usually, my Mom took my temperature when I was sick. But I remember a time when my Dad took it, in my bottom. I was 11 years old, and my Mom was in Florida visiting my aunt. I was sick with the flu, so Dad did the honors. I thought it was pretty cool to have him take my rectal temp a few times per day, but naturally I kept that thought to myself. That was the only time I was ill, that I remember Dad taking my temperature. As I look back, I still think it was cool. Jenn.

My temp was never taken by a male. It was taken by females (usually Mom) until I was 10 or 11 - then I was taught to take it myself. About 8, Mom told my if I wanted I could change to armpit - but as Mom. Grandma and my older sister Helen thaught rectal to be better and used it for themselves I preferred rectal too.

My mom always took the temps in our house. Mine was taken rectally until the age of 9 or 10. As an adult, I always take mine rectally. Sure it's more accurate but it's also more fun!
