It feels absolutely absurd to have to address any prudish or hesitant (because of worry of sexual abuse accusations or otherwise) behavior to save the life of a person, just because they have breasts. That said, I get it and I'm also glad that if this was a problem before, that it's getting corrected now. This is your sign to get CPR/AED certified now!

On the other hand, we once responded to a woman passed out in a car. A bystander was doing "movie CPR": reaching through the window, one hand between her breasts, very lightly pushing.
She was alert and talking, so I start assessing her figuring this guy would get out of the way since she obviously doesn't need CPR. About 30 seconds latet I had to tell the guy he could stop.
