Résumé
Bobika is a man who has been practicing birth control since 2016. This is the sometimes moving, and often enlightening, story of his journey as he explores the methods of contraception available to him. Full of nutty anecdotes and accounts of his meetings and discussions with sociologists, doctors, and feminists, "Balls Up" is a reminder that, in addition to a personal choice, (male) contraception is above all a social issue.
