Scarlett Johansson: I Think Pornography Can Be Enjoyed

Scarlett Johansson gets up close and personal on the cover of Marie Claire UK magazine’s December 2013 issue.

Here’s what the 28-year-old actress had to share with the magazine:

On pornography: “I’m sure I should have some very well-developed view on [porn's] effect on society, the ethics behind it and how it affects the kind of relationship between men and women and how it objectifies women. But I don’t really think about it. I think porn, like anything else, can be enjoyed. It can be productive for both men and women. If I found out my boyfriend watched that much porn, I would be totally flabbergasted, for sure.”

On making relationships work: “I can certainly relate to this habit of wanting your partner to just kind of fit into this mold you’ve made for them. We do place pressure on somebody to just do it the way we think it should be done. It takes a lot of growth and searching to understand that it is the differences in relationships that enrich and strengthen the relationship, that help us evolve as people and partners. I understand that conviction; I know that is something I am guilty of.”
