Abstract:

When opting for non-standardised procedures for information collection, the critical analysis of research methods considering the particularities of the object of study, is essential to develop a rigorous and productive research process. This article aims to present a reflection around the options and methodological. options and practices in the approach to male intimacy encompassing men\'s social representations of sexual health and illness, their experiences and use of health care. Using the contributions of several authors, we carried out an approach focused on qualitative research as the methodological option, on the interview as the data collection technique and on the ion and access to participants. About the interview, are highlighted the possibilities and difficulties arisingthe interaction between the researcher and the participants, the challenges related to the specificities of the interviewees and the implications of the researcher\'s identity.
