I don't think that would help.

They'd stop raping
that'd help.

it's possible to rape someone
even when sterilised/castrated

Unless you went further than mere castration
and cut off their cock.

I was talking more along the lines
of rape being a power not a sex thing. In which case conversely there are cases of being people who are impotent causing more damage to the rape victim than those who aren't

Usually
the sexual desire desapears with castration (like happens with dogs and cats) It could be that some men won't feel the difference, but most of them won't feel like having sex again.

see wookie below though
since rape is not primarily about sex, it doesn't matter that the offender isn't that interested in sex

It also causes crushing depression.

I was thinking more of the two articles I read about it
Alan Turing and a eunuch who realised he wasn't ready for life without his balls.

At school a couple of my friends took great pleasure in greeting people with the phrase "eunuch nice today".

It's possible to rape someone with a foreign object in any case.

Looks like the death penalty is the only other option then.

( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 10:45, Reply)

nah
the death penalty is always wrong. I think the prison sentence in place at the moment is the method that's needed (though the length is wrong)

Well this is cheery

Given that rape is (usually) about dominance rather than sex, they really wouldn't.
And removing their ability to reach a climax is quite likely to increase the violence of their attacks.

Assuming that by sterilise you meant castrate, of course.

I may have spent too much time watching Criminal Minds.

It would certainly cut down the rate of reoffending.
