It could be from past experiences or how you were raised around men.

It could be from past abuse that you experienced or you saw. It could also be that you're nervous around them or it could be both.

There can be many reasons. Negative past experiences that are still with you, fear of what it may mean, unsure of the mans intentions, etc.. I would sit down with myself and try and write down how I feel when it happens and think back to any past negative experiences you may have had. Once you have an idea of what it may be, then you can move forward and find solutions.

it might be because of the traumatic event that you had experienced. There will be flashbacks and when a man tries to touch you, you'll flinch because you are thinking that it is happening again and it also makes you remember about the traumatic experience that you just want to forget but you can't
