- Abstract
Objective:This study aims to investigate the views of men and women who employ male condoms as a contraceptive approach regarding the method and family planning. Methods: The sample, collected via the purposeful sampling method, consisted of 12 women and 13 men, who were classified by gender and analysed with a qualitative design. Results: The responses of male and female condom users were categorized into five themes based on the study’s results. Themes of male condom decision-making, the impact of male condoms on sexual health, perceived downsides of male condoms, gender in family planning, and beliefs around family planning were explored in this study. Conclusion: The findings concluded that men often rely on word-of-mouth recommendations when deciding to use male condoms. Common perceptions of reduced sexual sensation, a plastic or synthetic feel, and high cost were identified as barriers to consistent use. It has been determined that women see it as an advantage because it is clean and what they hear from those around them, while they see it as disadvantages because it reduces pleasure, is costly and negatively affects their sexual life.
