Searching for help online: An analysis of peer-to-peer posts on a male-only infertility forum.

Abstract:

:Men's experiences of infertility help seeking are under-researched and thus less widely understood than women's experiences, with men's needs for support often missing from reproductive research knowledge. This article presents a thematic analysis of peer-to-peer posts within the context of a UK men-only online infertility forum. The key themes demonstrate that men value male support from those with experience, and that masculinity influences help-seeking requests and men's accounts more broadly. We highlight the value of such online communities in offering support to men in need while recognising the importance of further research across other online settings in order to inform practice around supporting men in the reproductive realm.
