Several generations of women have taken the pill for years without asking too many questions. But today, young women are much more reluctant about the pill, and contraception, even if it remains the responsibility of women, is more easily discussed within couples. The idea of male contraception thus begins to emerge gradually.
But what are the means of contraception that exist, apart from the condom and withdrawal during sexual intercourse? Are the men ready to get involved in this process and the women to leave this role to them? Virility, mental workload, male-female relationship: male contraception also has to do with these questions.
Geraldine Mayr receives Thomas Rixens a.k.a Bobika to talk about it. He is a cartoonist and has published The Heart of the Zobs. He tells us how he came to worry about the contraception of his couple, the means he used, in particular the method of the Toulouse brief (heated brief) and that of the andro-switch, and the way in which he lives this choice.
