I was 7 or 8, had the fear of being naked in front of people really bad. It sucks that my upbringing frowned upon things like nude anything because it makes a person uptight and uncomfortable and ill prepared for certain situations.
My family was up at Southside (WEST Virginia) for the summer school break and I had been playing in the run-off creek downstream from the highway and the old dairy barn after a heavy summer rain.
A few days later I came down with some type of bronchitis that I would have recurring bouts of until my mid 40's.
It was bad enough that mom & dad took me to the little hospital/clinic in town. The nurse came in and had me strip and put on an open back gown and for some reason, decides to use a rectal thermometer.
I'm sure it had to do with the fact that I had a wicked bad cough but no one took the time to explain that to me and I wasn't smart enough to figure it out for myself.
She proceeds to position me on my face, ass up and sticks the thermometer in my ass with the open back gown failing to cover my peach fuzzed, fairly overweight pre-pubescent body.
Just then some kind of emergency arrives and I get shoved out of the room I'm in, into the main hallway with everyone walking past me with my ass in the air with a thermometer sticking out. I am fucking mortified! My modesty destroyed!
I'm trying not to cry hysterically as the seconds feel like hours, every person who walks by is snickering and smiling at the fat, pink, peach fuzzed covered pig, ass up on a gurney, in the middle of Grand Central Station...with a thermometer sticking out his ass..."wonder if it pops out when he's done".
Those seconds turned to minutes. Then, tens of minutes. Mom & Dad were no where in sight. It felt like the Thanksgiving Day Parade, every damn hillbilly in West by god Virginia must've have got a chuckle that day!
That was embarrassment beyond my control, I don't remember asking for it exactly but I believe I was told to stay out of the creek after a big rain so in a way, maybe it WAS my fault after all.
Peace and Love!
