Résumé

Affirmer qu’hommes et femmes devraient avoir la liberté de choisir un mode de contraception qui leur convienne paraît aller de soi. Cette liberté implique l’accès à des méthodes analogues pour les deux sexes. Ce choix existe bien pour les contraceptions mécaniques (contraception vaginale/préservatif ; stérilisations). Mais alors que 100 millions de femmes utilisent une contraception hormonale, il n’existe pas (théoriquement) de traitement comparable pour les hommes. Le développement d’une contraception hormonale masculine (CHM) est pourtant souhaité, aussi bien par les femmes que par les hommes. Plusieurs enquêtes ont bien caractérisé cette demande. En France, en 1991, 54 % des hommes se disaient prêts à utiliser une contraception hormonale (Louis Harris) ; en 2000, ils étaient 66 % à exprimer cette opinion (Institut CSA). Ce choix était justifié par un souhait d’alternance dans le couple ou par les échecs et les effets indésirables de la contraception féminine.
