This is pretty complicated territory for a young relationship. It is hard to tell what is going on exactly, but I would suspect that a lot of it has to do with his depression. Like I told the question just above yours, depression can lead to a total lack of libido -- no desire at all for sex -- and it's quite common. However, the fact that he was watching porn would seem to contradict that.
So you two have been together just 5 months, and you live together? Do either of you work or have a daily life outside of the home? If not, your friends may be partially right -- being together all day and all night without an outside life can be depressing in itself. Especially if unemployment is involved.
Does your boyfriend see anyone about his depression? A therapist, for example, or a doctor?
