From her hilarious antics on SNL and Parks and Recreation to her adorably informative Ask Amy web series, Amy Poehler definitely doesn't seem like someone who shies away from taboo topics. So when she got to talking about porn on The Howard Stern Show, it wasn't surprising that she had some pretty great things to say.
Howard mentioned that in her upcoming book, Yes Please, she talks about how men shouldn't go overboard with porn. "I like porn, and I think that people should do whatever they want," she said to Howard during the Monday night radio show, "but the point being that this generation….porn is so accessible that sometimes guys don't actually connect to the person that's in front of them."

Truth. But that doesn't mean that she's against all x-rated clips. When she does tune in, Amy says she wants it to be a little bit idealistic. “I like my porn like my comedy: done by professionals, women who are at the top of their game,” she explained. “So I like professional ladies who are enjoying themselves. I'm not an amateur person. I want everybody to look good and be good at their jobs.” Sounds reasonable, right?

She makes a good point that excessive porn consumption can have negative implications if it detracts from your actual sex life (something that experts refer to as "the porn effect"). That said, there are also a few ways that watching porn can boost your sex life if you and your partner are both into it. One survey found that most women who watched porn with their partner said it had a positive effect on the relationship and that it gave them the confidence to ask for what they want in bed. Plus, experts say that watching porn together can inspire discussions about what turns you and your partner on.
But like Amy noted, a lot of the couples and acts in these clips may seem a little too perfect (like these 13 things that are only true in porn). And while that's perfectly fine for the sake of entertainment, it's important to not let these scenes influence your expectations about sex.
