Male Contraception

“Equal Contraception Now!” – under this motto the gallery showed an exhibition on male contraception in summer 2025. Behind it is the initiative “Gemeinsame Verhütung” (shared contraception, @gemeinsame_verhuetung).

The initiative describes itself as a feminist group that educates people about contraception, with a focus on male contraception. It is one of the user committees of sharedcontraception.org, which campaign for a wide range of contraceptive methods for people with testicles – hormonal, mechanical and thermal methods as well as vasectomy.

The group is out in public with information stands and workshops. A report in the ZDF series “37°” describes its aim like this: to help men overcome their reluctance to engage with the subject and to make new ways of contraception visible.
