Pornography is a major theme in Scarlett Johansson's latest film and believe it or not, she has her own personal views on watching adult programming.

The 28-year-old actress, who is the stunning cover girl on the December issue of Britain's Marie Claire magazine, dishes in a wide-ranging interview about Don Jon and what she thinks about watching porn.

"I think porn, like anything else, can be enjoyed," Johansson told the mag via excerpts from the Daily Mail. "It can be productive for both men and women."

So, to put it bluntly, the brunette beauty is pro-porn.

In the film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is a womanizing porn addict looking for love and on a quest to achieve a most fulfilling sex life. Johansson plays Barbara, the romance-movie-adoring young New Jersey woman who eventually falls for JGL.

However, ScarJo does admit that there can be a limit on how much is too much, when discussing her onscreen boyfriend's infatuation with watching it all the time.

"If I found out my boyfriend watched that much porn, I would be totally flabbergasted, for sure," she revealed.

Johansson looks gorgeous in the close-up cover shot, rocking a red lace dress with matching bright lipstick. She is staring seductively into the camera, and resting her hand on her cheek.

In another photo from the spread, she is reclining on a furry cushion and wearing a luxurious long tan leather coat. She completes the look with her hair down and peach lips.

The engaged star recently told E! News that everyone can be guilty of holding a partner, or an imaginary partner to these impossible standards. 

"It would be much easier if the people we fell in love with behaved the we wanted them to," Johansson said. "I've learned over time that what makes life interesting, relationships interesting, are the complexities of relationships and people and the fact that we can become more evolved ourselves if we are forced to compromise and accept the differences amongst one another."
