if sex isn't a solution, 1st step is to eliminate porn, go masturbate without it, then cut down the monthly masturbation, from like 1 a day(30 a month) to for example 20 a month, and keep decreasing it, it's not nofap here, sometimes i still do it but without porn. Porn is killing your brain and dopamine, meanwhile 2-3 masturbations per month is okay in my opinion

It's all about willpower and occupying your time with something else, more beneficial.
His problem in my opinion is porn, not masturbation, so he can easily cut out porn with a little bit of willpower and bust one out.

You could cut it out and replace that activity with other dopamine releasing ones.
as i said, 1st step is to cut porn completely, cold turkey. And if you can't masturbate without it don't do it, give it a couple days and the hornyness will kick in.
As a man, controlling your sexual urges is very important. It's very hard tho, but you can do it
