Are there any scientific reasons to why porn and masturbating is bad?

How does it affect the brain? Does it affect an individual's critical thinking skills? Problem solving skills? Social skills? etc.? It doesn't affect my relationship because I don't have one. It doesn't decrease my urge to WANT an intimate relationship. If anything, it makes me want a woman even more. It doesn't make me procrastinate I don't think. I mean I do have over a 3.5 gpa so far in my first two semesters in college so far. I want to quit masturbating, but if there are no real scientific facts that it can destroy your ability to solve problems, think creatively, and socialize, then I don't think it will be worth it to quit.

    porn is bad because it desensitizes you to real sex. if you see some super crazy stuff then you just wont be satisfied with a normal relationship. masturbating in excess could cause problems. but masturbating every now and again is normal. so as long as its not interfering with your everyday life youll be just fine.
