The main motivations for choosing TMC were \u201cnot using hormones\u201d (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 59\/63, 94%) and using a method regarded as \u201cnatural\u201d (n = 49\/63, 78%). Most of the men surveyed (68%) adopted the method in less than 2 weeks. During the contraception use phase (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 59 men), they described significantly improved sexual satisfaction, compared to that experienced with their previous contraceptive methods, and they reported high confidence (100% rather\/totally confident partner) and support (88% rather\/totally supporting partner) from their partner. Most men (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 35\/59, 59%) also reported improved self\u2010esteem. The main negative point was discomfort, reported by 24% of the men. The overall satisfaction score of using this method was 3.78 \u00b1 0.46\/4, and 100% of the men reported that they would recommend the method to other men.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Men using TMC successfully assumed the responsibility for and performed a daily task to provide couple contraception. This positive evaluation, together with the already published contraceptive efficacy and reversibility of TMC, should encourage the development of this method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.13264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T06:25:56Z","timestamp":1659939956000},"page":"1500-1510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Thermal male contraception: A study of users\u2019 motivation, experience, and satisfaction"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Samuel","family":"Joubert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine Faculty of Medicine Jacques\u2010Lisfranc Saint\u2010Etienne CHU  Saint\u2010Priest\u2010en\u2010Jarez France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3394-7463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Tcherdukian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of General Medicine, Faculty of Medicine of Marseille Aix\u2010Marseille University  Marseille France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9057-630X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roger","family":"Mieusset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9veloppement Embryonnaire, Fertilit\u00e9 et Environnement (DEFE) INSERM Montpellier\u2010Toulouse  Toulouse France"},{"name":"Andrology\u2010Reproductive Medicine Paule de Viguier Hospital  CHU de Toulouse Toulouse France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8198-4886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeanne","family":"Perrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMP\u2010CECOS Clinical\u2010Biological Centre AP\u2010HM La Conception University Hospital  Marseille France"},{"name":"Aix Marseille Univ, Avignon University  CNRS, IRD, IMBE Marseille France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"WHO.Contraceptive use by method.2019.
