Résumé

La investigación sobre la reproducción de modelos despreciativos y tóxicos en relaciones heterosexuales muestra sus efectos negativos sobre la salud, mientras que el proceso de socialización preventiva ilustra relaciones alternativas directamente relacionadas con valores igualitarios, pasionales y no violentos, que han demostrado producir efectos positivos sobre la salud. Esta investigación analiza el proceso de socialización estudiando cómo eligen los hombres sus relaciones afectivo-sexuales y cómo influye el enfoque de las nuevas masculinidades alternativas (NAM), que se definen por la confianza en sí mismos, la solidaridad y la fortaleza para enfrentarse a la violencia y a cualquier tipo de discriminación. Desde una metodología comunicativa, en primer lugar, se han realizado siete entrevistas semiestructuradas a hombres que siguen el enfoque NAM. En segundo lugar, se ha realizado un análisis de contenido centrado en discursos y mensajes en foros de internet y canciones sobre cómo los hombres explican sus elecciones e intereses en sus relaciones. Los resultados revelan que existen hombres que prefieren mujeres que se sienten atraídas por hombres igualitarios y no por hombres machistas y violentos. Este tipo de elecciones muestran una mejora en las relaciones afectivas y sexuales de los hombres heterosexuales, así como en su estado de salud.
