The New York Times bestseller "Ejaculate Responsibly" challenges the notion that men are solely responsible for unintended pregnancies. The author argues that ovulation, an involuntary process, is distinct from ejaculation, a voluntary act. Furthermore, the book points out that men are significantly more fertile than women, making birth control access and usage challenging for women. Vasectomies, on the other hand, are considered less risky than tubal ligations.

Despite these facts, women are often expected to bear the burden of pregnancy prevention. The book questions why women should be held accountable for men's bodies and reproductive choices. Instead of perpetuating the highly polarised anti-abortion and pro-choice debate, "Ejaculate Responsibly" proposes a fresh perspective. The author argues that there are no consequences for men who ejaculate irresponsibly, and it is time to shift the responsibility and burden of pregnancy prevention onto men.

The book is described as a "gorgeous manifesto" by Oprah Daily, a "tactical, full-throated cry for men to step up" by Vogue, and a "witty and unflinching case" by Bustle. It encourages men to take responsibility for their reproductive choices and to engage in conversations about sexual health and consent.
