      abstract = {Over the past 15 years much pioneering work has been done  on the social demography of young men's sexual activities,  contraceptive use, and fertility experiences. But how do  men develop and manage their identities in these areas? In  Sex, Men, and Babies, William Marsiglio and Sally  Hutchinson provide a compelling and insightful portrait of  young men who are capable of anticipating, creating, and  fathering human life. Based on in-depth interviews with a  diverse sample of 70 single men aged 16-30, this is the  most comprehensive, qualitative study of its kind. Through  intimate stories and self-reflections, these men talk about  sex, romance, relationships, birth control, pregnancies,  miscarriages, abortions, visions of fathering, and other  issues related to men's self-awareness, and the many ways  they construct, explain, and change their identities as  potential fathers. The interviews also provide valuable  insights about how young men experience responsiblities  associated with sex and the full range of procreative  events. Accessibly written for a wide audience and raising  a host of issues relevant to debates about unplanned  pregnancy, childbearing among teens and young adults, and  women's and children's well-being, Sex, Men, and Babies is  the fullest account available today on how young men  conceptualize themselves as procreative beings. Lessons  from this study can inform interventions designed to  encourage young men to be more aware of their abilities and  responsiblities in making babies.},
