In fruit flies and mice there may be overlap between neurons associated with aggression and sex. The citation doesn't support any conclusions about human behavior, nor that there's a causal relationship between the two. Moreover, this has nothing to do with addictive chemicals in the brain which was the basis of your claim.Mice are very close in terms of biology:

Close may count in horseshoes and hand grenades, but not in neurology, and, again, it doesn't show that one causes the other. The author makes clear that what overlap exists is unclear, as well as that the implications for human behavior are unclear.

Fail^2
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which plays a role in addiction. It is not an addictive chemical. It plays a role in many behaviors and is therefore too general to be uniquely linked to specific behaviors other than as a general neurological mechanism that plays a role in brain function. It also plays a role in enjoying chocolate. And your claim was that it leads to violence. Dopamine in general has no specific link to violence so your citing dopamine is irrelevant.

FAIL.
Yes. Sex is the execution of pornography.
Fail^3
Uh, no. Sex is represented in some pornography. Pornography isn't sex. Your citation explains that excessive consumption of pornography [the representation of sex] can lead to problems with potency and performance of actual sex. Your claim was that addiction to actual sex can lead to mutations in the brain including homosexuality, not that pornography does. So your link does not support your claim.
FAIL.
