Male involvement in contraceptive decision making

Magistrsko delo obravnava vključenost moških v odločitev o kontracepciji v partnerskem odnosu. V preteklosti so bili moški pred kontracepcijsko revolucijo zaradi dostopnosti moških oblik kontracepcije ključni, ko je prišlo do nadzora rojstev. V današnji družbi pa se sedaj zdi, da so ženske tiste, ki nosijo odgovornost za uporabo kontracepcije. Magistrsko delo se osredotoča na raziskovanje vloge moških. Teoretični del vsebuje informacije o kontracepciji, njeni zgodovini, družbenih premikih v času seksualne revolucije, posebej so izpostavljene moške oblike kontracepcije, ki so trenutno na voljo in oblike kontracepcije, ki so še v razvoju. Zajema tudi pomen spolne vzgoje in dejavnike, ki vplivajo na vključenost moških v odločitev o kontracepciji. Teoretični del se konča z umestitvijo tematike v socialno pedagogiko. Empirični del temelji na intervjujih z desetimi moškimi, ki so v času raziskovanja uporabljali kontracepcijo. Predstavlja njihovo doživljanje lastne vloge v odločanju za kontracepcijo v partnerskem odnosu. Namen raziskave je bil preveriti in podrobneje raziskati, kako moški vidijo svojo vlogo pri izbiri kontracepcije v monogamnem partnerskem odnosu, raziskati njihovo zadovoljstvo z njihovo vlogo. Namen pa je bil tudi ugotoviti, katere moške oblike kontracepcije poznajo, kako se s partnerkami pogovarjajo o spolnosti in kakšne oblike kontracepcije so uporabljali v preteklosti.The master\u27s thesis focuses on the involvement of men, who are in relationships, in contraceptive decision making. Before the contraceptive revolution, men were crucial because male forms of contraception were widely available and used. In today’s society, however, it seems that women are the ones responsible for using contraception. The master\u27s thesis focuses on exploring the role of men. The theoretical part contains information on contraception, its history, social shifts during the sexual revolution, with special emphasis on male forms of contraception currently available and forms of contraception that are still in development. It also covers the importance of sex education and the factors that influence men’s involvement in the contraceptive decision. The theoretical part ends with the placing of the topic in social pedagogy. The empirical part is based on interviews with ten men who used contraception at the time of research. It represents their experience of their own role in contraceptive decision making while in a relationship. The purpose of this research was to examine and investigate in more detail how men see their role in choosing contraception in a monogamous relationship, to explore their satisfaction with their role. The aim was also to find out which male forms of contraception they know of, how they talk to their partners about sexuality and what forms of contraception they have used in the past
