Performing (heterosexual) femininity: female agency and role in sexual life and contraceptive use – a qualitative study in Australia
We conducted 94 in-depth open-ended interviews with women of reproductive age (16–49 years) living in New South Wales, Australia. Findings suggest sexual double standards and gender expectations continue to pervade women’s sexual and contraceptive practices.
