H-manga, h-anime, and h-games all reflect parts of Japanese culture, customs, social problems (like many Japanese men's sexual frustration, unfaithfulness in relationships, prostitution), but they're works of fiction in the end, and not faithful depictions of reality.
Not everybody in Japan masturbates to h-material, just as not everybody in America masturbates to American porn films.
