The scope of this dissertation focuses on issues related to family planning from the men´s point of view. Studies on fertility and family planning were focused overwhelmingly on women. The men´s participation in studies on family planning and reproduction is increasingly recognized as important; both men and women make important contributions to bringing children into life. Data of qualitative research were collected in interviews with 170 Czech men aged between 25 and 50. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data. The results show strong social pressure determining the ideal form of material and psychosocial background for offspring confronts current generation with very demanding decision-making on parenthood timing. Although men are in need of negotiations, the responsibility and practical decision-making is mainly left up to women. The inability of men to father their own genetic child has been identified as a main concern and an important infertility topic. However, the results have shown a low attention paid to the prevention of disorders of the men´s reproductive health.
