A community for posting about crime
Impotence and sexual frustration are common factors in a lot of sexual assaults. That's not to say everyone who is impotent or experiences sexual frustration will commit a crime, but we're talking about a subset of people who are already known to have committed sex crimes.
I recollect Anton Chikitilko (sp?) from Rostov, Russia, had a seuxal disorder where basically he was only able to achieve full arousal and ejaculation when he was doing what he was doing to his victims... So I agree it is a disorder to some degree.
Theoretically, though, you could "remove" even the potential of solving impotence, which would change the game. But IDK. I am not like some luddite here who is fully on board with the policy. I would say I am undecided.
How about it's never actually been proven to work, and it's primarily been used as a form of torture for LGBTQA+ people. Every study of the subject included either willing volunteers, a sample already predisposed towards ensuring its effectiveness, or gay men at a time and place where it was a crime to be gay.
Consider for a moment the scientific rigor and motivationa for doctors involved in such experiments. Medical researchers, educated in statistics, make obvious mistakes in research design and then reach conclusions that are unsupported by math. If it isn't motivated by homophobia, then sadism seems to be the next most plausible explanation.
