How hard is it to get a virus?
I am a conservative internet user. On my PC I had every virus scan and Anti Virus software known to man. But occasionally my friends would get a hold of my computer and before you know it I would have an endless amount of porn o my MBP. How worried do I have to be about a virus sneaking on. They all claim that they go to these sites all the time on their PCs and that they are "legitimate sites" (if their is such thing in dealing with porn). I have told them contless times to quit but I would feell better knowing that even if they continue I will be safe from harm. Thanks in advance.

It's currently impossible because there aren't any viruses for OS X "in the wild". As far as I'm aware, there aren't any worms, either.
However, that doesn't protect you from other malware, such as spyware* and trojan horses. It also doesn't protect you from phising. So you still have to have your wits about you.
*however, there's no way for an application to install itself without you knowing in OS X, so the risk of spyware is greatly diminished.

Put a password on your computers, and tell your friends to f**k off and view p*rn on their own computers.
