    ALWAYS?! For who?

    all common sense and basic logic says this shouldn’t be an issue! But we don’t live in a world with enough of that to risk someone not having any.

    I’ve had CPR training, I’ll give it my best shot! But I’d be lying if the thought wouldn’t cross my mind a little, and I wouldn’t really judge anyone this day and age for saying that they’re not risking it.

    It’s an illogical worry, until it’s your life getting fucked over by some lunatic that thought it was inappropriate or claims you copped a feel whilst saving their life.

    Why am I not surprised?

    One wrong move or a minor misunderstanding and you have a rape allegation against you.

  3. You can’t do anything nowadays without someone being offended. Granted it isn’t as bad here as the US, but what starts there ultimately starts here.

  4. Well you might have a heart attack when you realise if using a defib you should remove under wire bras to prevent arcing or starting a fire. But you won’t have to worry about the touching their boobs then because they’ll fall to the side.

  5. I think having dummies that have breasts would help alleviate this, as all the training is done on a male body.

    The paranoid men in this thread. 

    If you are justifying letting someone die, because you genuinely think you’ll be punished for touching a dead woman’s chest, you have been reading too much manosphere brainrot and need a detox.

    If you can find me one case where a dead woman had CPR performed and the man’s “life was totally ruined”, fine. I’ll wait. In the meantime, get therapy.

    Is this real? If so fix up people?!

    When you’re dying on the floor what has to be done has to be done.

    I didn’t enjoy having a tube shoved up my penis when I was being emergency prepped after being stabbed in the stomach.

    I wasn’t thinking about sueing anyone afterwards. If I had a heart attack I wouldn’t care who was pumping my chest to keep me alive and I’m pretty certain no woman would either?!

    And if they do they can grow up, and no court would take any attempt at a call for sexual assault during cpr serious unless you did something very odd….

    So just fucking do it.
