if the commentary from here is any indication, all they will get are pedophiles who are now eunuchs. if Castration will not cure other forms of deviancy, why do they think that it will cure this type?

I found that chemical castration did actually reduce my interest in some of the more "deviant" fetishes (nothing in the realm of paedophilia, just masochistic things that I probably wouldn't discuss with a partner)

Then again, I take estrogen on top, so maybe that contributes to it. And I still feel attraction towards exactly the same kinds of men as I did before, so I'm sure that a person who was attracted to children previously would still be attracted to them if they had no testosterone. I think attraction like that exists somewhere else in the brain, and your hormonal balance has nothing to do with it; evidence can be found in the extremist fringes of Christianity, where they'll do anything short of physical torture to stop a gay man liking other men. It never works, and I see no reason why this would be any different.

This new law sounds like an effective way to have a bunch of paedophiles walking around with osteoperosis and depression.

This sort of stuff stereotypes castrated people as sex pests.

Very bad

Also could the offender take medication say High dose Testosterone injections to offset the effects of chemical castration ?

Regular blood tests are needed to monitor the T levels and be assured a sex offender is not taking T replacements. I believe it might be a requirement for early release from jail for offenses involving minors.

Total penectomy and castration would be much more effective.

I would have been thrilled to start sex sooner as a boy if the damn laws would not have gotten males older than me into trouble for doing what I wanted to do with them.

Please don t delete this comment as improper, since I am talking about myself and my desires as a boy, not victimizing anyone else.

As much as peoole say this is barbaric, and insist that it will not work...from what I understand this does help reduce significantly the rates of recidivism. Probably should be mandatory for all sex related crimes, and perhaps violent offenders too. Perhaps people just need to get easier with the idea.

Men and their balls are like women and motherhood...completely sacred and off-limits.

It helps when people want to reduce their offending, and want to kill the desires that they can only feed with the offending behaviour.

It doesn't work when done involuntarily, because some sex offenders are motivated by power, not sexual desire, and they will find other ways to get that sort of kick.

I don t see any mention of this law being applied to females, like those female teachers caught having sex and getting impregnated by their young male students. So on an equal justice under the law basis, males are being neutered but not females. That is unequal treatment under the law. Plus the number of males forced to get castrated would far outnumber the number of females forced to get a female version of castration. So courts should strike down this law as being completely a male only punishment with no functioning female castration for equal treatment under the law.

The biggest flaw in all underaged sex crimes is the number of false accusations hurled at men in all kinds of situations such as divorces where nearly every man is falsely accused of sexual abuse of his own children by wives. There is no punishment for the false accusers even when the man proves himself innocent. And the burden legally is to prove a crime was committed, not trying to prove yourself innocent.

There's a contradiction in the way our society and the law treats certain crimes.

First, the law says certain sexual activity is a crime (homosexuality and cross-dressing used to be a crime). Any excuse that it's a mental illness that needs treating is ignored by the law.

Then, after a prisoner completes his sentence (meaning if sentenced to 15 years that time has been served) suddenly the law and society want to treat his crime as a mental illness.

In many states, after serving every year of a prison sentence, a man can be put in a mental health lockdown facility to keep him off the streets. The same prosecutor that demanded nothing less than a prison sentence for his crime and didn't want to hear about treatment now gets a court to declare the man in need on involuntary commitment for mental health treatment.

Conditions for parole and early release can often include chemical castration. What isn't as well known is that after serving a sentence many men are held in mental health wards. As part of an agreement to get released, they have to agree to chemical castration.

There is a long, dark past to forced chemical castration. Homosexual men were ordered by courts to undergo chemical castration as early as the middle of the 20th century.

Gay men were still being physically castrated in the United States as late as the 1980s.

Medicine often has the answers to problems but, when politicians get involved and try to solve societies problems with medical treatment, it normally leads to far more harm than good.
