Breast binding still occurs in lots of places. Old advice that refuses to die.
One (male) ob whom I knew well (not in the Biblical sense!) and I had a
nice chat about this practive over lunch one day.
After he mentioned quite casually that he saw nothing wrong with the
practice, I asked if he would consider the following practice: having a
fully erectic penis and then binding it tightly to his leg and leaving it
there for 3 days.
His eyes got big and I detected movement below the table that he crossed
his legs (very revealing body language, wouldn't you say?).
"Well, uh, I don't think that would be all that comfortabel."
"Thank you," I replied.
NOne of his patients thereafter mentioned that he had suggested binding!
(I think I got through to him).
I do NOT recommend this approach when you are conversing with OBs/FPs who
you do not know well. But if you have a good working relationship with
them, you might try some variant on the same theme.
The above example falls into the category of "get 'em where they live," I think.
