Family planning services are effective in deciding whether or not to have children, when they will have children, in reducing unwanted pregnancies, and in reducing maternal-infant mortality and morbidity. Also, family planning provides education on contraception, counseling and information on contraception. Contraception is defined as the planned prevention of pregnancies using various chemical drugs, surgical procedures, sexual practices or devices. Male contraceptive methods used today; the traditional method is coitus interruptus, the modern method is condom and vasectomy. In addition, hormonal and nonhormal contraceptive studies are continuing. Reasons for men to oppose contraceptive use include myths, misunderstandings, contraceptive side effects, marital status, poor economic status, religious influences, limited male contraceptive choice, suspicion of female partner cheating, and preference for extended families. Men's consent to the use of contraception is a key to effective family planning and men play a large role in influencing their fertility choices. Health workers, especially midwives, are very important in terms of informing and educating men on this issue. Midwives who do family planning and contraceptive training should definitely invite their spouses with them and carry out their training on couples.
