So far, only a limited number of representative studies have been conducted on exposure to sexually explicit media in women. Existing research tends to focus on men, who form the majority of users of sexually explicit materials. This research aimed at the identification of categories of sexually explicit videos sought by adult women in the Czech and Slovak Republics and the examination of variables associated with overall frequency of use of sexually explicit media. A stratified sample of Czech (N=400) and Slovak (N=413) women who confirmed the use of sexually explicit materials and were aged between 18–76 completed an online questionnaire through online panels of respondents. Participants reported the overall frequency of sexually explicit materials sought and its related measures. Using linear regression, authors tested associations between the frequency of sexually explicit videos sought and sociodemographic data, variables related to sexual behaviour, and lifetime experience with sexually explicit videos. Results showed a high prevalence of seeking sexually explicit videos that depict normative heterosexual and female homosexual activities. No significant differences were found between the Czech and Slovak samples in searching for particular sexually explicit content. Authors found that younger age, higher frequency of masturbation, and higher sociosexual attitude score (measured by SOI-R) predict a higher frequency of searches for sexually explicit videos in both samples. This is the first empirical investigation of sexually explicit video content sought by women in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The findings suggest that there is a high prevalence of sexually explicit materials use in women in both countries (Czech Republic = 60.4% vs. Slovak Republic = 62%), but further investigation is necessary to assess the impact of sexually explicit materials exposure on women.

Wstęp. Seksualność to jedna z najważniejszych sfer w życiu człowieka. Od niej zależą wszelkie jego relacje emocjonalne i społeczne. Jednak sama w sobie też podlega wpływom szeroko pojętego środowiska. Tym, co ma na nią największy wpływ, jest: psychofizjologia osobnicza, wychowanie, socjalizacja, nawyki zdrowotne. Bardzo duże znaczenie mają owe nawyki przejawiane w zachowaniach zdrowotnych, a tym samym ich komponenty, jak: styl życia, samoświadomość. W pracy przedstawiono zachowania zdrowotne w kontekście płci żeńskiej. Omówiono także zarys seksualności kobiety i postawy zdrowotne w aspekcie życia płciowego w dwóch przeciwstawnych środowiskach.

The main purpose of the text is to analyze the problem of sexuality presented in the poem by Samuel Twardowskiof entitled “Nadobna Paskwalina” (“The beautiful Paskwalina”). The analysis was based on previous research: the mimetic concept of René Girard and an attempt at feminist reading of romance. The author shows the process of constructing a woman’s personality on the foundations of admiration on the part of the male sex and confronts it with the traditional model of a woman which dominated in the old ages. The next part of the text presents the relationship between the process of building and collapse of the Paskwalina’s identity according to the concept of René Girard. The heroine’s journey and the significance of the influence of her guides are being analyzed. The poem is interpreted as an extensive commentary by Samuel Twardowski on the observed realities of everyday life of the Catholics, and the finale of this romance as a girardian murder of the heroine’s sexuality, which acquires a transgressive character.

The paper juxtaposes two films — Thanatomorphose directed by Éric Falardeau (2012) and Contracted directed by Eric England (2013) — in order to illustrate how both use similar themes of rot, disfigurement and decay of the body to paint different images of the female body and its aesthetic and functional value. Through the use of close reading, the analysis focuses on the manner in which the aforementioned themes in the discussed film texts are expressed within the boundaries of horror discourse to emphasize issues such as abuse, objectification and self-harm.
