in 1994 has put efforts to control population and declining fertility-oriented
approach to reproductive health and gender equality. Male participation in
contraceptive use are still low. This is caused by the husband�s domination in
Family Planning and reproductive health decision making. In addition, other
factorc such as husband�s attitude about family structure, social demographic
factors (age, education, occupation, residence) are also influenced male�s
contraceptive use.
This study generally aims to determine the relationship between the
husband's fertility preference on the use of male contraception. This study uses
secondary data IDHS 2007. Basic information on the results of IDHS 2007, which
was analyzed in this study include the husband wishes to add children, the number
of living children and child sex preference. As for age, education level, occupation
and place of residence used as a sosio demographic variable. The data are
analyzed using univariate analysis techniques (descriptive), bivariate (chi-square).

number of living children are still with the use of male contraception (p-value �
0.05), (2) there was a significant correlation between husband wants more
children with the use of male concraception (p-value�0,05), (3) there was a
significant correlation between age with the use of male contraception (p-value �
0.05) , (4) there was a significant correlation between education with the use of
male contraception (p-value � 0.01), (4) there was a significant correlation
between place of residence with the use of male contraception (p-value �
0.01). The child sex preference, employment status was not statistically proven to
