Summary/Abstract: The absentee of erotical as truthful spiritus movens in modern way of thinking, leads to vulgarization of both: erotica and contemplation, which are by media obscenely reducted on a common (licentious) picture. Traffic and speed of the visual stimulations create voyeuristical auditorium. Intellectual establishment uses the products of the popular culture as a backbone in producing crowded and unsteady trade on the quasi-ideas market. This work tries to give an essayistical approach to the problem of sexsualization of the human body in the visual medias. It also includes brief and comprehensive notion on political matters of the erotical substance (contents) in so-called men and women papers and magazines. It seeks through questionable view of the hipperbolic modern social and theoretical activities, which tend to improve temporary social appearances (occurences) as theoretically and socially relevant phenomenon. Considering speculations about abusement of the female body in polarized media, this work entangles (implicates) essential discreditation of any feministic indoctrination.
