Battling Pornography
Here are some books we recommend if you are specifically struggling with pornography. Bear in mind that struggles with pornography occur for both men and women. (This is not just a guy issue.) The struggles may be rooted in different desires, motives, and reasons. So while some resources are written more towards a male audience (statistically more men struggle with pornography than women, but, again, there is a significant portion of women who struggle with this as well), the resources are useful to both men and women.
