No, males (or females) as a whole do not have any special dietary requirements unless it is for health reasons. Both males and females can eat the same type of food without any adverse effects.
However, male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's) which is often caused by not enough water over a period of time. Feeding only dry food can and does cause this. It is advisable to cut down on the dry and feed more wet food.
Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by). It is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.
Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 70% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
If you feed dry food, it may be ideal to and incorporate at least some wet food into the cat's diet each day, so your cat gets at least some water.
