Why is it funny?

It changes the neurological structure of your brain, which effects how you interact with people of the opposite sex. I literally gave several reasons why it can be harmful.

That's a pretty bold statement. Got anything to back it up? (that's not woo)

This one only tells us that porn activates the reward center.  Lots of things do.  And?

We change our neural pathways everyday. And the brain chemistry changes too. Sometimes you feel good, sometimes under the weather.

As to porn google lemon party.

Thanks, seen that. This addresses addiction. I'll agree that addictive brains are different, I own one. 

But you stated that it changes brain structure. Neither of these articles addresses changing structure. 

So, which came first, the addictive brain or the porn?

Edit: Interesting avatar.

There;s a burgeoning industry looking to monetize treatment for "porn addiction" getting help from religious nitwits who pull the whole cocaine/pron equivalence on schoolchildren as "sex ed".

Everything we do changes our brains in some way.... Memory formation is a brain change.
Watching porn has the potential to impart upon certain people a warped notion of how society works concerning sexual relations...

Should I, a healthy (I hope) individual give up on watching porn? I don't think so... it helps with the release of certain other necessary hormones that aid in the proper functioning of everything.
I do notice that, when I'm with someone else that takes care of my sexual needs, I spare no thought towards porn. But when I'm not.... it comes back.
If the majority of people are like me, then I don't see is as a problem.

It's also important to distinguish between the question of whether porn changes the brain, and whether porn changes the brain in ways that are significant, harmful, and damaging.
