Pornography use and erectile dysfunction have been found to be correlated.
"The empirical investigation indicates that there is a correlation between pornography consumption and erectile dysfunction that suggests causation"
"The findings are based on 11 interviews along with two video diaries and three text diaries. The men are between the ages of 16 and 52; they report that an early introduction to pornography (usually during adolescence) is followed by daily consumption until a point is reached where extreme content (involving, for example, elements of violence) is needed to maintain arousal. A critical stage is reached when sexual arousal is exclusively associated with extreme and fast-paced pornography, rendering physical intercourse bland and uninteresting. This results in an inability to maintain an erection with a real-life partner, at which point the men embark on a “re-boot” process, giving up pornography. This has helped some of the men to regain their ability to achieve and sustain an erection."

Pornography's effect on marriage
There is a correlation between excessive pornographic use and unhealthy marriages/relationships.
"We found that adults who had watched an X-rated movie in the past year were more likely to be divorced, more likely to have had an extramarital affair, and less likely to report being happy with their marriage or happy overall."

Porn's Effect on the Brain
Porn, like any other addictive substance, has an adverse effect on your dopamine levels and in turn your ability to enjoy natural forms of pleasure.
"Dynorphin, in turn, decreases the dopaminergic function of the reward system, resulting in a decrease of the reward threshold and an increase in tolerance."
-Love et al (2015)
