This article focuses on how males become aware of their perceived fecundity, experience themselves as procreative beings, and view responsibility while orienting themselves toward their sexual and potential paternal roles. Although recent research has advanced our understanding of young men's involvement in the sexual, procreative, and fatherhood arenas, we still know little about the social psychology of young men's self-perceptions and behaviors as evolving procreative beings. Much can be gained theoretically by expanding our understanding of the social psychology of how young single men become aware of their fecundity and then negotiate the terrain of sex, contraception, pregnancy, abortion, and fatherhood. This type of theoretical grounding of males' experiences is critical to the study of both unintended pregnancy and childbearing among young persons who may be ill-prepared to face the demands of full-time parenting. Throughout this analysis and discussion, the author also explores the relationship between men's procreative thoughts and their behaviors.
