Abstract

Introduction: Male contraception includes various methods designed to prevent pregnancy by focusing on the male's role in reproduction. Results: Behavioral methods, such as withdrawal and periodic abstinence, offer non-invasive alternatives that require self-control and precise timing to avoid depositing sperm in the female reproductive tract during fertile periods. However, these methods generally have low effectiveness and rely heavily on user adherence and experience. The male condom, a barrier method, provides both contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections. Its effectiveness relies on correct and consistent use. Discussion: Access to comprehensive sexual education and medical counseling is essential to dispel the stigma surrounding contraceptive use and correct misconceptions, ensuring proper usage and ultimately contributing to better reproductive health outcomes.
