Is having history of watching too much porn the related to Paraphilic Disorders, sexual delusions and problems with social emotional reciprocity? I struggled with those three problems when I have history of watching too much porn. I also have Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Hit the nail on the head. Yes.
Professional porn production is simply entertainment,...and for the most part, doesn't represent many people's experiences or reality. Most of it is "eye-rollingly" stupid.
Those that produce their own,...the amateur stuff,...just looking to make some money, I suppose. Some of it is just for some "shock value" and internet views.
As far as the effects on emotional reciprocity, or any other sort of behavioral/communication issues as a result of watching porn,...I think it might be a stretch of the imagination,...perhaps a few, particularly sensitive individuals,...maybe. Not convinced.
My wife and I tried a few times to watch some together,...it ended up being more of a turn off than a turn on,...but we're both more logical thinkers, so we couldn't really translate what we were watching with any sort of real world experiences to relate to. Either it was just 2 people just having sex,...why watch when you can do?...or,...some bizarre, ridiculous scenario that had no place in our reality.
Its a little psuedosciency. From my understanding it connects porn to dopamine, then goes from dopamine to all possible ways it can influence your brain, this means that in a lot of contexts of that book you could replace watching porn with say eating fruit, drinking soda playing a video game or watching a good (regular) movie. Yes watching porn "rewires" your brain, so does listening to music or really anything else. I don't know if there is any proper empirical evidence that show it affects your brain in a way that is very distinctive from anything else that gives pleasure.There's a book called Your Brain on Porn which is a good read, and it does show how it affects the mind.

Young man are extremely horny, always have been. The "unsavory" thoughts they can have about woman is probably not caused porn.
The porn industry treats woman pretty bad from what l read. I dislike internet porn, because men see it available 24/7, then walk around with a mindset that woman are sitting around just waiting for unwanted advances. And just because a female has a sexual vibe or sex appeal doesn't mean she is looking to hook up. Internet porn creates unrealistic expections in men who aren't socially mature.
