When the mind is filled and controlled by lust it starts to interpret normal social interactions as if there were some sexual aspect to them. Our eyes undress nearly every woman, innocent conversations are taken as flirting, and tight or revealing clothing becomes an enticement. It doesn't take long for porn to turn someone into a leering, creepy, sex-obsessed pervert - at least in his mind.
The thing is that the thought life always leaks into real life no matter how we try to mask it. Staring a little too long, making an off-color jokes, compromising our standards, etc are all signs of a mind filled with lust. Women are much more attuned to this than men. Next time you see an attractive woman walking by watch the men, watch their eyes and body language. You can start to see how women experience the world.
Porn will also completely mess up your view of normal sex. It isn't love, or intimacy. You might as well be watching animals go at it. Porn only teaches you to objectify and use women for your pleasure. There is massive confusion for a boy or man who has idolized pornographic sex only to find that it is nothing more than a fantasy.
You will never be satisfied pursuing sin, the end of that road is always death.
Begin the fight while you are young and single. Don't pull others into your struggle looking for them to satisfy your lust. Turn back to the Lord, commit yourself to Him and He will cleanse you and help you along the road back to renewing your mind and ruling your heart.
