    Este estudio examina el comportamiento de los hombres prostituidores en el contexto de la pandemia del Covid-19 a través del discurso de aquellos que han participado en foros de prostitución durante el primer año de la pandemia en España. Aplicando la metodología del Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) este estudio aplica la noción de “masculinidad como factor de riesgo” a los hombres prostituidores, quienes ponen en peligro la salud de las mujeres prostituidas, de otras mujeres y hombres, y la suya propia. Además, este artículo propone una cuarta dimensión con respecto a posibles aspectos negativos de la masculinidad sobre la sociedad y la salud pública en el contexto de la pandemia. La identificación de los hombres prostituidores con una masculinidad misógina debe considerarse un problema tanto desde el punto de vista epidemiológico como desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos.

    This study examines the behaviour of men who buy prostitution sex in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic by analysing the discourse of those who participated in prostitution-related online forums during the first year of the pandemic in Spain. Applying the Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) methodology, this study applies the notion of “masculinity as a risk factor” to men who buy prostitution sex, as they endanger the health of prostituted women, other women and men, and their own. In addition, this article proposes a fourth dimension regarding possible negative aspects of masculinity on society and public health in the context of the pandemic. The identification of male prostitutors with a type of masculinity with overt misogynistic traits must be addressed as a problem from both an epidemiological point of view and a human rights perspective.
