To: Psalm 144
I think the best book for Christian men struggling with pornography is Samson and the Pirate Monks by Nate Larkin. Nate had an assignment in seminary to go browse the porn shops in his city with his wife. He was repulsed by what he encountered, but immediately became enslaved.

It nearly destroyed him, and it ruined his career. It was many decades before he began to find freedom. He began meeting with brothers willing to confess their shame to one another and to stand with each other.

Nate now has a ministry freeing Christian men from this insidious entanglement. He compares two men in the Bible who were anointed by God and who had sexual problems: King David and Samson. One was able to overcome his sin, one died as he defeated his tormentors. David had godly men who stood beside him, and were willing to confront him when needed. Samson walked alone. He was victorious in many things, but lived in defeat to this darker nature within him.
