He can, but usually it will only be his skin that is infected. He would have something like jock itch or 'crotch rot' (as some men call it.) When men develop a yeast infection, it can damage the skin and allow bacteria to cause a secondary infection.

If both of you are having symptoms, you should see a doctor together. The doctor will assess an treat you accordingly.
