What does porn do to the brain?
I've been addicted to pornography since I was thirteen (I'm eighteen now.) I think there might have been some irreparable damage, and decided to stop when I begin dating. Due to my lack of knowledge regarding psychology, I want to ask you guys: What damage has been done? Can it be repaired? Will this drastically effect my (future) dating life?

It mostly fills you with misconceptions about love, sex, and intimacy, while training yourself to become aroused to a 2d computer monitor with women that have no pubic hair and whatever else is common in the porn you watched, making you inept and dysfunctional in real life with women.
That's the jist of it.
You can recover if you stop watching it and throw away anything you think you may have learned by seeing it. Most kids cannot watch porn without it damaging their perceptions, so it just isn't a good idea. Even inexperienced adults can gain false perceptions from it.
