– Men are foolhardy, says sexological adviser Tore Holte Follestad. – Because in the blink of an eye you have given up your sperm, you lose control over them. It can take five days for the sperm cells to die inside the uterus. Before that, they can, as is known, be the start of a new life. 👶 Trust news has commissioned a survey to survey Norwegians’ attitudes to contraception. Norstat made it for us. Over 500 people between 18 and 49 responded. The survey shows that 77 per cent of men trust their female sex partners to a large or very large extent. – I think many men just assume that all women use contraception. And then men are perhaps a bit stupid at asking, says Håkon Gravem Isaksen. Fellow students Tobias Brox Bordahl and Magnus G. Lund at Dragvoll in Trondheim agree, and think many expect the women to take responsibility. – Many did not bother to ask. But then it’s a bit their own fault if they go on a rampage, says Bordahl.

Today, men have three options: Condoms, “jumping off the swing” and sterilisation. Perhaps this will change soon. In recent years, Swedish researchers have been in full swing to develop contraceptive gel – a hormonal contraceptive for men. The hope is that the gel will be on the market in not too many years. In addition, American researchers are developing a hormone-free birth control pill for men. Work on this has not progressed as far. According to the survey from news, 42 percent of men between 18 and 49 would consider starting a new male contraceptive. But do women think that the male sex partner can take responsibility for preventing her from getting pregnant? Do you think the man can take responsibility for avoiding pregnancy? Yes! 🤩 No! 😱 Show result Too late to ask afterwards – I don’t think I would trust it, since the consequence is that you have to present a child yourself. I would like to be in control myself, says Ingrid Røe. Photo: Morten Waagø / news According to a survey by Norstat, there are clearly fewer women who trust men to take responsibility. Both Røe and her friends think men should check whether the woman they want to have sex with uses contraception. They must share the responsibility of protecting themselves. – There are many who only hear afterwards. And then it might be a little late to ask, says Emma Narum. Photo: Morten Waagø / news “I don’t mind” Sexological adviser Tore Holte Follestad says that it is basically positive to trust the person you have sex with. At the same time, he believes that men must take greater responsibility for themselves. Then they avoid stress and worry about whether they have made someone pregnant. Or contracted a venereal disease for that matter. – Who hasn’t woken up after a violent night on the town and spent the night with someone with a little anxiety? “What actually happened? Did I use a condom? What’s going on now?’, he says, and continued: – It’s not unusual to get a text message maybe nine months after a night out on the town, telling you that you’ve become a father. Sexologist Tore Holte Follestad believes that it is no great sacrifice for men to use condoms. Photo: Marit Gjellan At the same time, he believes that the trust that men have in women may have something to do with the way we in Norway and the West have talked about contraception. Because there has been a lot of focus on how to prevent someone from becoming involuntarily pregnant or having to have an abortion. – That message has largely gone to women. Then men have become passive observers on the sidelines and think: “This is something women take responsibility for, I don’t mind”. Hi! So glad you’ve read this far!
