"Readers unfamiliar with the burgeoning literature on the
neglected importance of fatherhood will find this study a helpful
beginning point."
--"CHOICE"
"A more nuanced and embedded analysis of men's experiences of
procreation than we have ever had. One can no longer speak of
fatherhood as separate from the decisions about contraception,
pregnancy, and reproduction."
--Michael Kimmel, State University of New York, Stony Brook.
Over the past 15 years much pioneering work has been done on the
social demography of young men's sexual activities, contraceptive
use, and fertility experiences. But how do men develop and manage
their identities in these areas?
In Sex, Men, and Babies, William Marsiglio and Sally Hutchinson
provide a compelling and insightful portrait of young men who are
capable of anticipating, creating, and fathering human life. Based
on in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of 70 single men aged
16-30, this is the most comprehensive, qualitative study of its
kind. Through intimate stories and self-reflections, these men talk
about sex, romance, relationships, birth control, pregnancies,
miscarriages, abortions, visions of fathering, and other issues
related to men's self-awareness, and the many ways they construct,
explain, and change their identities as potential fathers. The
interviews also provide valuable insights about how young men
experience responsiblities associated with sex and the full range
of procreative events.
Accessibly written for a wide audience and raising a host of
issues relevant to debates about unplanned pregnancy, childbearing
among teens and young adults, and women's andchildren's well-being,
Sex, Men, and Babies is the fullest account available today on how
young men conceptualize themselves as procreative beings. Lessons
from this study can inform interventions designed to encourage
young men to be more aware of their abilities and responsiblities
in making babies.
