There's a difference between 'socially controlling sexual desires' and 'repressing natural sexual urges', the trick is one just requires you to ensure you get tasks you set out for yourself done and not wasting time with urges.
The other is repressing natural desires as you've seen the degenerate excess on display and believe any action that leads to self pleasure will end in the same result.
We've all seen this argument play out with drugs and porn. Two points manifest in both cases:
A percentage of individuals are capable of using the substance and living economically functional lives (your point)
Society and culture at large can't handle the substance, which corrodes its foundations a little more every year (the opposing point)
Porn goes hand in hand with hookup culture. If you have one, then you basically have to have the other. They're products of the sexual revolution and they're enabling an apocalyptic death of male-female relationships that is dooming us to who knows what. I'm not leaving feminism out, either. I would go so far as to say that "sexual freedom" makes the rise of feminism inevitable. There's a reason why Jews fostered both of those things.
The advent of advanced AI porn will hopefully destroy the thot industry, which would be fantastic. But at the same time, if 13-year old me had the ability to generate a personal sexual fantasy of whatever I wanted, including girls from my real life, upgrading their rack too - and that tech will be here - I don't know if I would've ever had much of an interest in reality.
Now the natural objection is "so you want to ban porn." I don't know what the solution is. But we will have to confront the problem at some point because the Japanese extinction spiral is real, and as the last decade proved, it can happen faster than anyone would have predicted.
China is losing population at a faster rate than Japan it's just there's more of them so harder to notice. I think porn is a small factor sure but a bigger reason is their work/life balance which is notoriously bad.
You're talking to someone who wants the pirn industry that uses people to make content to die but the one using drawing and art to continue as an outlet. We've been drawing tits, dicks and vaginas FOR MILLENIA, from cavemen to the renaissance, the problem really got worse when we started introducing filmed and having it portrayed through social media that it's 'normal' to be a slut.

Japanese extinction starts with the hikikomori (shut in), young people, mostly men, who have already given up the battle before they had a chance to join. You could imagine they know about poor work/life balance and are afraid of joining the adult world, but I find that hard to believe when they don't have any personal experience with it yet. It may be more related to school problems, but I wouldn't be surprised if porn has removed the will to fight from some of those boys.

Perhaps an even bigger factor in China's case is the cataclysmic consequences of the one-child policy, which caused an enormous imbalance of men compared to women. The simpbux potential of a woman is potentially even greater in China than the US in terms of number of customers. There are designated streamer zones in parks filled with women just talking to their phones.

Triangular Kim Possible tits on a cave wall is not a porn industry. Also sorry, you probably missed my edit:

Yeah missed that edit, I'd say that's a deeper problem in the West with AI art in general that they don't have a good reality/fantasy distinction. We still have people saying that there's more than two genders and that third world cultures can integrate into a first world (barely nowadays) society.

That explains some of the larger disparity but put it this way, Japan doesn't have suicide nets outside their workplaces so I think the work/life balance is a key factor.

Right, I remember this discussion about the prevalence of yaoi/yuri characters vs. the IRL Japanese attitude towards homosexuality. I think that's a good point, but some of the broad effects of porn, like increasing feminization of men and the collapse of normal sexual relations, can be seen in both Japan and the West. The problems will be worse over here, but we will end up sharing them.

Yep that's true. Japan also has the same problem, the overwork and suicidal ideation, but it seems to a lesser degree.
I'm not leaving feminism out, either. I would go so far as to say that "sexual freedom" makes the rise of feminism inevitable.
I agree with this. Women and feminists gain power from men using their sexuality. This only works at a wholesale level if sexual morality is diminished in society so that women are freely allowed to use sex to manipulate men. It should be clear from seeing men simping over women who dress like sluts, OnlyFans models etc., that part of the reason why women have some much power in Western societies is that they are freely able to use their sexuality to control men.
As a corollary to this is that, the solution to overcoming feminism is reimposing sexual morality. At an individual level, men can make a dent by being chaste. Male chastity resists the ability of women to manipulate men. A man who is chaste is able to resist simping for women. He will be able to stand up for what is right and act like a man, instead of being beholden to women (or whoever controls his access to sex and pornography).
This is the part of the reason I strongly promote sexuality morality and chastity to men. It's all very well to complain about society and feminists, but being chaste is actually something effective men can do about it.

So porn is the problem, not masturbation.
I don't think masturbation is a good habit, but in the absence of porn there are more natural brakes on it.

The solution is something on the scale of the Butlerian Jihad. Technology has progressed too far and must be undone.
