What to Expect
Otoko’s workshops are a blend of education, craft, and open discussion on subjects related to contraception, intimacy and masculinity. In three hours, you will learn about the thermal method, and get all the tools you need to start your contraceptive journey.
You’ll dive into conversations about male fertility, share personal contraception experiences, and have the opportunity to craft your own glitter-powered silicone rings for thermal male contraception.
Whether or not you plan to use this method, the workshops offer valuable insights into men’s roles in intimate and sexual health.
If you seriously plan on shifting to using thermal contraception, the workshop will provide all you need to actually make the move. You’ll be all set to experiment.

Contribution:
The workshops operate on a pay-as-you-like basis with no minimum fee. The advised contribution for crafting rings is 50€, but again, there is no right amount. You are welcome to give what you can. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone can participate and that contraception remains accessible.
Looking forward to crafting with you!
