She told Marie Claire: “I’m sure I should have some very well-developed view on [pórn’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.”
She added she thought pórn might help both partners be less self-conscious about séx and satisfy some curiosity: “I think pórn, like anything else, can be enjoyed. It can be productive for both men and women.”
The film, which sees Johansson play the love interest to Joesph Gordon-Levitt’s pórn-obsessive character, is one of the latest movies to explore séx obsession and the pórn industry, following this year’s Lovelace, and 2011’s Shame.
Speaking about her attitude towards pórn, Amanda Seyfried, who starred in Lovelace as renowned pórn star Linda Lovelace, said she thought women “should be free to watch it and make it”.
