Well, I just want to know about your insights regarding this. I know women won't have doubt on this but what I want to convey here is what about if you're all males in a group and one of your mates is down waiting for someone to possible revive him. Would you rather present yourself from other guys for you (male, too) to give your friend (another male). Seems confusing, eh? lolz.... What do you feel when you are about to do it? Just curious though. Your answers are very much appreciated. Thx y'all.

Just want to give correction to the word "possible". I'd like to inform you that it's "possibly" since it's an adverb already. I was just having this typo. I don't want to be corrected by anyone lolz.

Nothing to be confused about. You do not perform CPR or mouth to mouth to a FAINTED person. Their heart still pumping and they are stil breathing.
IF they actually need CPR - then why should there be any doubt - without it THEY WILL DIE.
IF it was YOU who was lying on the floor, would you care if they touched your lips? THEY HAVE JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE!!
Would YOU hesitate? No one would later pick on you about giving mouth to mouth to another male. Saving a life should be held in high esteem. And remember - ANYONE ANYTIME including "all the other guys" - could need someone to do mouth to mouth on them one day.

1. You do not do CPR for someone who has fainted.
2. Any person, male or female, that is trained as a layperson can choose to not provide care if they wish, but for a guy to avoid it because of gender discomfort is not really common- most real men would not hesitate to provide life-saving care in an emergency.
It only seems confusing if you are being superficial and silly about it.
Besides- how would you feel if a buddy died just because you were too self-conscious about your image to save him?

In instances of actual cardiac or respiratory arrest, where rescue breathing was necessary, it shouldn't matter what gender the victim is. Despite one of the other posters assertion that you don't know what you'll get from guys, there is VERY low risk associated with mouth to mouth, gender irrespective.
Also, a recent Japanese study has shown that CPR is effective even without rescue breathing for a short period, as long as 911 has been activated, as anyone with CPR training should know to do anyway. There is a fair amount of residual oxygen in our blood and lungs to sustain us for a bit.

I have done C.P R several times. When it is actualy up to you, the gender doesn't even enter your mind. No one else cares either.
