ResumoObjective: Analyze men’s knowledge on contraceptive methods. Methods: Descriptive and qualitative research conducted in March 2011 in the city of Queimadas (PB)-Brazil with 12 men. Data were collected through a semi-structured form and underwent content analysis, which originated categories that were illustrated by the interviewee’s reports: Limited knowledge on contraceptive methods; Men’s participation ruling the contraception. Results: Thus, it was possible to notice that men’s point of view is based on limited knowledge on contraception and they still rule how women should behave regarding contraception, taking it as a woman’s responsibility. Conclusion: It was verified that there is a need to deconstruct prejudices and allow men to express their fears and desires so they can feel embraced by health services and start participating more in the family planning. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p232
