Men take selenium for prostate health and to help keep PSA numbers low.
States like the Dakotas that have high selenium levels in the soil have less documented cancer rates than states with low or no selenium in the soil; thus indicating that supplemental selenium may help forestall certain types of cancer in both women and men.

Well, being a man I know men need more selenium than women because a lot of selenium is lost through semen, seriously. You'll notice alot of men's multivitamins have extra selenium and no iron

Although it is toxic in large doses, selenium is an essential micronutrient in all known forms of life. It is a component of the unusual amino acids selenocysteine and selenomethionine. In humans, selenium is a trace element nutrient which functions as cofactor for reduction of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductase. It also plays a role in the functioning of the thyroid gland by participating as a cofactor for thyroid hormone deiodinases [2]. Dietary selenium comes from cereals, meat, fish, and eggs. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 55 micrograms per day. Liver and Brazil nuts are particularly rich sources of selenium. A list of selenium rich foods can be found on The Office of Dietary Supplements Selenium Fact Sheet.
