It sounds like he has recognized he has a problem with porn and booze, so I'd support him in addressing his problem. I'll make my wife a margarita. I don't see alcohol as bad. At the same time, if _I_ had a margarita, I would have twelve, so I don't drink any. He may be the same - staying up all night whacking off and his wife is getting pissed.
As for his friends, it sounds like some of them would only push back harder if someone were to argue with them. To change their mind at all, one has to be very gentle and very slow. If you say anything to these people, ask a question that they won't be sure of the answer to. Something like "considering the biblical exhortation that a husband and wife should see to each others needs, might there be some situations where it would be good for a married couple who want to spice things up to watch an educational video?" Only once they decide that they are open to the idea of a couple watching porn to improve their marriage might they begin to consider taking that thought a step further.
God DID invent sex, they'll acknowledge, and the bible tells us to give our wives some dick when they need it. So if you're gentle you can slowly change attitudes, but leading with "porn is good" will only start an argument and they won't learn anything.
