Abstract	Studies about the masculinity-health relationship have pointed to the persistence of essentialist visions about sex and challenges regarding sexual and reproductive rights, as well as the difficulty of including men in health care practices due to the social representations of the masculinity and the direction of the services for women and children. The implantation and implementation of the "Brazilian Comprehensive Healthcare Policy for Men" (PNAISH) in Brazil has brought as a challenge the recognition of the gender inequalities experienced by men and their health needs. In this sense, the justification for this study is the need to investigate how man has been contemplated in sexuality and reproduction institutionally. Thus, is constituted as corpus of the research, the official text of the policy, documents related to the construction of the PNAISH and materials developed from it, as well as publications related to sexuality and reproduction of men in the Facebook pages "Health of Man Ministry of Health" and "Municipal Health Department of São Paulo ". Through content analysis, the discussion was supported by the theories of Gender Studies and Foucaultian thinking. We sought the understanding of discourses that guide the PNAISH: to which men this is directed and how politics seeks to direct actions in health when dealing with sexuality and reproduction. It was observed that the policy reflects social representations, presenting many of the existing gender differences and inequalities. Sexuality in its broadest sense is not too much discussed in the documents, with an emphasis on sexual act and potency. Yet, despite efforts, there was no full incorporation of egalitarian accountability discourses on reproductive and parenting issues, and visions about men as support figures are still present. Still are needed actions that work the resistance for greater sexual and reproductive freedoms and for equality. The PNAISH still needs to approximate more to the needs, to the diversity of existing relationships and to the inequalities.
