This document shares the experience of working with men in male health self-care workshops carried out in contexts of marginalization, specifically, in two neighborhoods in the city of Villahermosa, Tabasco, in southeastern Mexico. He was part of a qualitative research on men, emotions and interpersonal relationships, which had the objective of exploring the experience of men during the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to the vulnerability they present when living in flood-prone areas. The workshop was used as a data construction technique, since it allows reflection based on the constant interaction of the participants; for this purpose, a face-to-face invitation was made during tours in the neighborhoods, as well as by handing out flyers on public roads and on the WhatsApp social network. Resistance to male participation was identified both due to the social and work dynamics of which they are part and due to the sociocultural significance assigned to the male body and vulnerability; this indicates the need to establish meeting spaces between men to reflect on the social construction of masculinity, their emotions and reconstruct themselves as subjects with the right to affection.
