Mastubation does not affect your brain in any way. But if you get addicted to masturbation, it may lowers your self esteem and causes depression. A porn addict is more likley to get bored of social gatherings, find his friends boring and to lose interest in social connections. In such a case his dopamine levels become low during social interactions and as a result he finds himself anxious around people. The only way that can help that person feel good is to find something that can give him a higher dose of dopamine than the dose he got used to and that's why he reverts back to porn. It has been established that the neurotransmitter dopamine is implicated in motivation. Dopamine is released (particularly in areas such as the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex) by rewarding experiences such as food, sex, drugs, and neutral stimuli that become associated with them. Masturbation is the sexual stimulation of the genitals, usually to the point of orgasm. During masturbation, dopamine floods the brain in a manner similar to sex, drugs, or food. Therefore, it is within the realm of possibility that repeated masturbation at high frequency can also result in a decrease in the amount of dopamine receptors (particularly D2) in the brain. In other words, frequent masturbation could, in theory, make your brain less sensitive to dopamine.
