Abstract

Introduction: Contraception has played a central role in much of human history. Since the separation of reproduction from sexuality, in addition to preventing sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptive methods have been used as a tool for birth control, varying in their presentation throughout history, influenced by socio-economic and cultural processes. Method: A narrative review was conducted in the biomedical databases: Scielo, Pubmed, Dialnet, CUIDEN and Google Scholar. The literature search was conducted between August and December 2021. Results: Initial search strategies identified a total of 48247 articles. Once exclusion criteria were applied, 19 journal articles (6 in Scielo, 3 in Pubmed, 2 in Dialnet, 2 in CUIDEN, and 6 in Google Scholar) and 2 books were selected. Conclusions: The resources and culture of society have conditioned sexuality and reproduction in each historical moment. In the 20th century, the struggle for women's rights and freedom over birth control began, thus implementing family planning, which has since provided information about contraceptive methods and facilitated free and confidential access to them.
