对澳大利亚堕胎率的估计表明，相当多的男子是意外怀孕的一方。虽然男子在决定终止妊娠方面没有正式的法律的权利，但他们可能有责任支付子女抚养费。这项2011年研究的目的是收集年轻男性对他们在意外怀孕中所扮演角色的看法。在半结构化的深度访谈中，10名年龄在20-23岁之间的男大学生就他们在想象场景和现实生活中的意外怀孕情况（从一夜情到两年的关系）中的角色发表了自己的看法。访谈内容逐字记录，并按主题进行分析。年轻男子通常期望在较长的关系中比在短暂的联络中更高程度地参与决策。那些有过堕胎经历的人倾向于认为男人应该在决策中发挥更大的作用。年轻男子认为，妇女有权决定怀孕结果，但如果他们受到经济牵连，他们仍然希望有一些发言权。然而，男子通常认为妇女同样有避免怀孕的动机，并将避孕的责任留给妇女。年轻男性最关心的是保持面子--不被视为“游手好闲的父亲”，不抛弃母亲和孩子。没有人对堕胎表示宗教或道德上的担忧。很少有男性提到性传播感染的风险。进一步的研究应探讨青年男子希望更多地参与堕胎决策过程与他们对避孕责任的矛盾心理之间的差异。性教育应该试图使男性青少年更加真实的非故意的父亲身份的风险。性教育应包括对不同关系困境的讨论，以鼓励对性健康和生殖健康有更大的自主权。
Estimates of abortion rates in Australia suggest that substantial numbers of men are party to an unplanned pregnancy. Although men have no formal legal rights in the decision to terminate a pregnancy, they may be liable to pay child support. The purpose of this 2011 study was to glean young men's perspectives on their role in unplanned pregnancy. In semi-structured in-depth interviews, ten male university students aged 20-23 gave their views on their role in imaginary scenarios and real-life unplanned pregnancy situations ranging from a one-night stand to a two-year relationship. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Young men generally expected a higher level of involvement in decision making in longer relationships than in brief liaisons. Those with real-life experiences of abortion tended to think that men should have a greater role in decision-making. Young men felt that it was the woman's right to make the decision on pregnancy outcome, but they still wanted some say if they were financially implicated. Nevertheless, men usually assumed that women were equally motivated to avoid pregnancy and left responsibility for contraception to the woman. Young men were centrally concerned with maintaining face-not being seen as 'deadbeat dads', abandoning mother and child. None expressed religious or moral concerns about abortion. Few men mentioned risk of sexually transmissible infections. Further research should explore the discrepancy between young men's desire to be more involved in the abortion decision-making process and their ambivalence towards contraception responsibility. Sex education should attempt to make the risk of unintended fatherhood more real to male adolescents. Sex education should incorporate discussion of different relationship dilemmas to encourage greater ownership over sexual and reproductive health.
