“…Le Guen et al . [ 1 ] observed that in a sample of 1,776 men aged 15 to 49 in more or less stable relationships, 71.7% were using a female contraception method and 20.4% were using a male contraception method, including condom use in 18.9% of these men (12% of whom were living with their partners). Our population included stable couples with higher levels of education than Le Guen et al .’s population and the French general population [ 40 ].…”

BackgroundSince the 1970s, international research has actively pursued hormonal male contraception (HMC) and, to a lesser extent, thermal male contraception (TMC). Although the efficacy of TMC has been confirmed in limited populations, its acceptability has not been studied in either potential users or potential prescribers.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive multicentre study of potential male users of TMC (new fathers) and potential prescribers of TMC (new providers) was conducted between November 2016 and February 2017.The participants completed a 3-part survey, and their responses were evaluated to i) determine their socio-demographic profiles; ii) identify personal experiences with contraception; and iii) gauge the participants’ knowledge, interest and preference for male contraception, particularly TMC. For new providers only, the survey included a fourth part to evaluate professional experience with male contraception.ResultsThe participation rate was 51% for new fathers (305 NFs) and 34% for new providers (300 NPs, including 97 men (male new providers, MNPs) and 203 women (female new providers, FNPs)). Only 3% of NFs and 15% of NPs knew about TMC (including 26% of the MNPs and 10% of the FNPs, p<0.01). After reading information on TMC, new fathers were significantly less willing to try TMC (29%) than were new providers (40%) (p<0.01). The 3 main advantages of TMC for the new fathers included the following factors: “natural” (52%), “without side effects” (38%) and “non-hormonal” (36%). The main disadvantages were “lengthy wear time” (56%), “daily undergarment wear” (43%) and “concern about possible discomfort” (39%).ConclusionsYoung male and female providers have limited knowledge of male contraception, are interested in further information and would generally prescribe TMC to their patients. Successful expansion of the use of male contraception, including TMC, would require distribution of better information to potential users and providers.

“…The American Academy of Pediatrics reports advantages of condoms including: male involvement in contraceptive responsibility, ease of access, and low cost [20]. Young men in the United States and France with positive attitudes regarding condoms, in new relationships, and who discussed more health topics with their parents are more likely to use condoms [10,25]. Condom use is less likely among individuals who are concerned its use will reduce sexual pleasure, those who are older at first or most recent sexual encounter, those with an older sexual partner, and those with a partner who used female contraception [10,24,26].…”

Purpose of review Although teenage pregnancy is declining in many parts of the world, it remains associated with considerable social, health, and economic outcomes. Pregnancy prevention efforts focus primarily on young women, with minimal attention to young men. This review highlights recent literature pertaining to the role of young men in pregnancy prevention. Recent findings Young men have varying views on contraception as well as which partner(s) should be responsible for its use. Limited contraception knowledge reduces young men’s sexual health communication as well as their contraception use. Healthcare providers play a major role as one of the main sources of sexual health information for young men, but there are gaps in young men’s sexual health care so new guidelines have emerged. Summary Recent literature highlights young men’s range of views on contraception as well as their low sexual health knowledge and sexual health communication. To address teenage pregnancy and improve young men’s overall wellness, healthcare providers should routinely address sexual health. Healthcare providers may use our newly proposed acronym, Hello. Initiate. Sexual health assessment. Both condoms and female dependent methods. Examine genitals. STI screening. Talking to partner(s). Talking to parent(s) or guardians, to incorporate current clinical recommendations.

“…This can be due to low income and education so that participation in or KB is still low. [8] Midwives should provide counseling to men to participate in using contraceptives. The better the counseling program is shown with a convincing explanation, giving the opportunity to ask, the explanation is easy to understand, the willingness to give explanations and done repeatedly will increase the participation of acceptors to join the family planning program.…”
