Abstract

Men are a bit fascinating yet their lived experiences – especially when it comes to not reproducing – are seldom told. For example, many childless men say they are the ‘end of the line’ (see Webb and Daniluk, 1999). There again, I am biased as my MA (Hadley, 2008) and PhD (Hadley, 2015) focused on male involuntary childlessness. However, my experience of researching into the impact of unwanted male childlessness has identified both the paucity of material on the subject and the need for these men’s voices to be heard (Throsby and Gill, 2004).
