Description Abstract: This article deals with modern contraception focused on the attitudes of Czech and Belgian man to contraception. Article also compares difference in knowledge and overall awareness about contraception within male population in both countries. Data set: Survey was focused on male population in Czech Republic and Belgium. Overall number of respondents was 88 (Czech Rep. - 50, Belgium - 38). Methodology: Research of the overall awareness about modern contraception was conducted quantitatively in the form of survey addressed to respondents in the Czech Republic and Belgium. Results: This research shows fact, that knowledge and overall awareness of Czech and Belgian men in the issue of contraception is not sufficient enough and there is no significant difference in the awareness about this area within male population in both mentioned countries. The main difference was declared at the level of involvement and participation of man in decision-making related to contraceptive method used and also sources of information reported in the studied samples of the male population. Belgians reported literature as the most common source of information. Czech man reported their partner as a source of information. Czech men in comparison with the Belgians declared their higher tendency to deal with contraception and its possible uses. Conclusion: The result of the survey showed differences in attitudes, knowledge and overall understanding of the problems of contraception by Czech and Belgian men. We believe it is very important to provide comprehensive and current information on contraceptive choices available to women and men in productive age, and especially adolescents with regard to the possibility of a planned parenthood.
