In reply to: Tim 's message, "Having an RT later in life" on 21:49:41 10/31/09 Sat

When I hit my twenties, I guess what lay dormant in me for years came out. I WANTED THERMOMETERS UP MY RECTUM! I started by asking at various medical clinics/ERs/ and other situations where it could be done, to be done. Over the years, if I had to say out of 100%, how much did I get with respect to having my rectal temperature taken, I'd go with 97%! I've had a number of thermometers, at the hands of both male & female caregivers, both nurses and doctors and colon and massage therapists take my rectal temperature.

I'm no "Spring Chicken" considering my age, but I'd gladly submit to having a rectal temperature taken on me.

Your message is interesting inasmuch as it gives credence to the theory that a fetish, that is dormant for 15-25 years, comes out big time when you reach your manhood. Your fetish provides additional "relief" from your most intimate desires. This theory applies to the majority of men who have some type of fetish.

I could never take my fetish to the point of making requests of medical staffers to indulge me. It's a very private thing for me to be done behind closed doors at home. My feeling is that if I asked anyone in my doctor's office to do that, I would be counseled, referred to a psychiatrist, and discharged as a patient by my doctor. Seriously, this would be seen as very peculiar by most. I'm not saying that our fetish is a problem. Quite the opposite. It's how people perceive it and make snap judgments about you, because of it.

Well put, Jane. When I once jokingly suggested to the nurse at my doctor's office that a rectal temperature would be acceptable after she suggested an oral one, her quick response was, "No, thanks!" It seemed that she had been teased on this subject before, and the medical profession wants no part of rectal temperature taking of adults without special needs. Asking for an RT without need might very well get you removed from the list of patients the doctor wants to have.

This is related somewhat to previous discussions of how to develop a relationship with a member of the opposite sex and then bring up the RT fetish. While some here say that a loving boyfriend or girlfriend will do almost anything to please his partner, the rectal thermometer may be over the top for many. It seems like you first have to find someone who will admit to having an anal eroticism interest and then press on with the fetish scenarios involving RT's, enemas, suppositories, and anal toys. It will be a rare person who has that kind of kink.

I'm not so sure that rt's would even be used on "special needs" folks, in light of the quick and painless gadgets on the 21st century market. I think there will soon be a point where all of your vital signs can be taken without human contact, i.e., via an attached wrist band, etc. The trends have changed so much, I don't think that pediatricians use rectal thermometers anymore, or at least fewer of them than in the past. Love is blind, is only a saying, as is I accept you as you are. Reality sets in after time, and some people really are repulsed by anal anything, particularly if they come from certain religeous or cultural backgrounds. There have been laws on the books in many states, that classify anal sex as a felony. I kid you not. So that in itself, should indicate that there are some out there who would consider any one of us to be in need of psychiatric help.

What can I tell you all? My experiences as posterd are true. No one in that time ever said I needed to see a psychiatrist, nor was I ever dismissed by the physician seeing me.
And understand too, that upon requesting a rectal temperature, I didn't say, "Oh yeah, do it, it's a fetish of mine!" If I was asked and I was on any number of occasions, my reply was, "I prefer the rectal method". Very few of the caregivers who took my rectal temperature had reservations about my requests.
And what I'd like to know, is if you had the opportunity to have your rectal temperature taken in a medical setting, would you not ask?
If a caregiver chose NOT to do a RT as I asked, they said so.

These were your experiences, and that's fine, but they don't apply to everyone. Being asked by a caregiver how you would like your temperature taken, is an odd question, indeed, especially from one adult to another. If you want to raise eyebrows, and create a negative impression, then go ahead and ask for a rectal temp. as an adult. The majority of the time, it won't go over well. You'll be seen as someone with issues who needs treatment. Even many pediatricians today will not advise parents to take rt's on children over 3. It's not a judgment to be made by us. It has more to do with what doctors and nurses are being taught by the medical community.P.S., would you ask the doctor for a lollipop too?

You're correct-They were MY experiences, and it is not my intent or desire to persuade or tell others what they should or should not do with respect to the rectal temperature issue. I totally disagree with your statement on raising eyebrows and creating negative immpressions by requesting a rectal temperature. What experience(s) do/did you have that permit you, again based on experience to make such statements? If you have any, by all means, share them with the members of the board. That would be appreciated I'm sure. Are you a professional medical caregiver? Really, whether you are or not is irrelevant, as you don't have the final knowledge to say what will or will not occur with a person or persons who have opted for or requested a rectal temperature during a medical encounter. Are doctors and nurses NOT being taught about the rectal temperature method, and has it become passe? You tell us. Look forward to seeing your response. And please identify yourself, OK? Thanks.

You missed the point again. You don't have to be a medical caregiver to understand that it is 99.99% of the public that would really question your motives if you requested a rectal temperature. 90% of the public would say you have a mental illness that is stuck in the anal stage of human development. Most professional people would consider you to have a serious OCD syndrom. In other words, Rick, it is a no win situation for you in this day and age. As soon as you left the doctors office, he would write "Strange" accross the front of your file. Over the years, you have always been the odd ball on this forum. History has a way of repeating itself and your history does that with every message you write. Also, over the years Rick, the membership has accepted you for what you really are: "Strange."

Hey guys - I AM a healthcare professional. I am a doctor. I also have an rt interest. But I can tell you honestly, if my nurse came out of the room and said "Dr L, that guy asked me if I would take his temp rectally." I would look at her like she had three heads, ask her to repeat it and we would exchange our "~Weird~" looks. I would be on guard as I walked into the room, similar to how I enter a room of someone I suspect of seeking drugs. So if you Really want to know how a doctor would respond (even one who shares your interest) - there you go.

Leila, your post is genuine, and describes how most people would react, which confirms my belief that requesting a rectal temp. from a healthcare worker isn't going to fly.

Now, to Observer. You use big words for a burger flipper, which at least shows that you are able to read and understand the assembly instructions for prefab. furniture made in China. BTW, I thought the news story about YOU...yes, you RICH, was hilarious. I would expect that some of these posters would actually defecate on a golf course. It's very believable!
