Objective: to analyze the health needs of men in home care considering different masculinities. Method: this is a qualitative study based on the Health Needs framework. The study was conducted in João Pessoa, Paraíba, with a population sample of men receiving home care, aged between 18 and 59 years, and their caregivers. A total of 58 interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis. Results: the need for mobility was highlighted as essential for men who consider themselves free. In this context, many men experience a threat to their masculinity due to limitations caused by health conditions. The need for wound care places them in a position of limitation and segregation. Additionally, it was identified that these imposed conditions have an impact on their sexuality. Final considerations: men's health needs are conditioned by the hegemonic model, linked to natural needs.
