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.
:-)
