Why Men Should Take an Active Role in Family Planning

Responsibility–that is the most attractive quality a man can possess. Family planning is often shouldered by women, but the modern man knows that true partnership means stepping up. Being involved in family decisions isn’t just about avoiding unintended pregnancies; it’s about making a commitment: “Your health, our future, and our finances are my priority.” 

The Power of Partnership

Some contraceptives might come with burdens for her. By stepping up to actively share the responsibility of family planning, he upholds their partnership, and ensures mutual benefit and longevity.

Benefits of men being more active in family planning include:

  • Better informed choices: Taking an active role increases his knowledge of reproductive health and contraceptive options, enabling him to make decisions about his and his family’s health
  • Higher rates of contraception uptake and adherence: Open dialogue and joint decision-making about family goals is associated with better success.
  • Reduced unwanted pregnancy: Male support increases the adoption and the correct, consistent use of contraceptives.
  • Empowers Her: Supportive men promote women’s autonomy and encourages her to use family planning methods without fear of opposition
  • Improved Family Health:  Men’s support helps ensure that pregnancies are optimally spaced, reducing risk for both the mother and child.

Male Contraception: Taking the Lead

A committed man considers the options available to him. Condoms remain to be the only contraceptive method that protects against both unwanted pregnancies and STIs. They now even come with exciting features like the PREMIERE Condoms Dotted and Glow to add more excitement! Using it correctly and consistently shows discipline and promotes better intimacy.

The Ultimate Commitment: Vasectomy

For couples who are certain their family is complete, the best long-term option is vasectomy. This is a simple, safe outpatient procedure that is one of the most effective family planning methods. Importantly, it does not affect your testosterone, sex drive or sensation during orgasm. Choosing this act shows a man’s ultimate love for his family.

Be the man who plans and the partner she trusts completely.
