For this qualitative study 60 through interviews were performed with women aged between 40 and 65. Four representations were found: negative, ambivalent, neutral and positive. The negative pole, which is dominant, corresponds to the assignation of women to domestic and reproduction functions. The positive pole corresponds to access of women to some social autonomy. Thus, representations of the menopause form a major element of the symbolic domination on middle aged women. Medicalisation and cosmetic practices are the most strongly correlated variables with taking HRT. Three dimensions appear in the social uses of HRT: medical, cosmetic and symbolic, which intervene in various ways according different representations.

Systematic investigation of 12 female partners reveal 5 cases of moderate hirsuitism on the upper lip and inner side of the thighs. 11 of the 12 women showed increased plasma-testosterone levels ranging from 3.3-0.8 ng/ml. It was assumed that unabsorbed testosterone was infiltrating the skin of the female partner during intercourse and men were advised to apply the percutacrine in the morning rather than the evening and to shower 10 minutes later. This measure was effective in 3 cases but ineffective in 3 others. These results suggest that this male contraceptive agent should be used with great care and only if regular surveillance of the female partner can be achieved.
