Submission Description

It has been 30 years since the 1994 United Nation’s International Conference on Population and Development emphasised the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. However, the field of SRHR tends to be dominated by interventions and policy action that target women and girls. Indonesia has one of the highest HIV rates in the region and heterosexual transmission is becoming the most common mode of transmission within the country. Despite this, Indonesian men’s SRHR and associated masculinities continue to constitute research areas that are neglected. To further understand what influences this demographic’s SRH behaviours and outcomes, a rapid review of SINTA 1 ranked Indonesian health and social science journals was conducted using a keyword search. Dominant themes pertaining to Indonesian men’s SRHR that were observed in the literature included: family planning and fertility control, male infertility, HIV/AIDs, sexual dysfunction and sexual wellbeing, and other male-specific SRH issues including penis enhancement and cancer.
