Answer 1

Watching too much porn, like most addcitions, will cause your brain to release increasing amounts of dopamine. High dopamine levels for extended periods of time will deteriorate the shape and size of your brain and will also desensitize you from its effect, making you seek more extreme content to recreate the sensation of the first times you watched it.
