Surveys on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) practice have targeted women alone while no attention has been paid to culture, men‟s perspectives and attitudes in FGM/C-persistence. This might be because most researchers tend to be skeptical about the right methodology to apply in such a study. This study therefore investigated culture, men‟s perspectives and attitudes in the continued practice of FGM/C in South-East Nigeria. The specific objectives included: to find out the influence of culture on the continued practice of FGM/C, to ascertain the perspectives of men about FGM/C, to examine the attitudes of men in sustaining the practice, and to identify how the practice can be eradicated in SouthEast Nigeria. The paper is therefore, a demonstration of the researchers‟ field experiences during the study. The design was a mixed- method research. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 1,067 respondents for the quantitative data while 54 in-depth interviews were conducted to generate qualitative data. Some of the challenges encountered in the fieldwork included reluctance by respondents to partake in the exercise, some of the respondents did not believe in the total confidentiality assured them that their responses would be, Illiteracy, respondents‟ demand to be compensated for their time and poor road network. The challenges were however surmounted through the application of the researchers‟ classroom knowledge and by help of vibrant research assistants. It was therefore concluded that the fieldwork was an interesting exercise that exposed the researchers to field experiences that could not be gotten from the classroom.
