“…Several studies, both from the perspective of women and of health professionals and men themselves, point to the male detachment from family planning services, resulting from the man's imaginary as invulnerable or from the understanding of reproductive planning as a female responsibility, thus, women assume contraception as an activity of their responsibility and the role played by the partner is an accessory function when it happens. 15,16,[23][24][25] A study conducted with quilombo women from the Bahian Reconcavo points out that pregnancy prevention is socially placed as a "woman's thing," that men do not feel responsible and are excluded from health services, besides not presenting them as co-responsible for pregnancy and child rearing, even though the Family Planning law points them out as an integral part of the set of actions to care for women, men or couples. Thus, the choice of the contraceptive method is made solely by women without any interference from their partners or even any combination .7 And, "by choosing alone and taking responsibility for contraception, a woman exonerates her partner from an assignment that is both, reinforcing the socially constructed idea, and accepts, consciously or unconsciously, that they are in charge of reproductive affairs."…”
