It is normal for adults to feel lust. Saying that pedophelia is driven by lust seems to be saying the true crime is lust, and that anyone who "suffers" from it should be castrated.
Just as in your example above, its not illegal to be an alcoholic. But when alcoholics drink and drive and run people over, then it becomes a crime.
The same is true of lust. When its just you and your gf getting consensually nasty, then its not usually a crime. When its pedophilia, then it is. And yes, lust is a main ingredient to pedophilia. Get rid of lust and you get rid of pedophilia. Castration gets rid of lust.
I am not castrated and have no need to be, but I have dealt with guys who were. They have absolutely NO sex drive or the ability to lust. They weren't pedophiles, but principle is the same. Can anyone name any castrated pedophile that hasn't been cured?
Presuambly this applies to all crimes potentially motivated by lust? Rape. Incest. Anal sex. Oral sex (at least in Georgia). Sexual harrasment. Underage sex. Possessing any "obscene" photo (of adults). Oddly, "sexual offenders" include peeing in public, being nude in public, or making offensive remarks. Better add those just to be safe. Guy runs out naked during a soccer match... Cut off his nads! (Should cut off his legs too, just to be on the safe side!)
I mean, you are saying someone who possesses a photo of anyone under 18 is a provocative pose should be castrated... Why stop there? Guess that's better than saying he should be tortured to death.
(I don't know anyone who is a repeat child offender, or anyone who has been castrated. I don't think that is a stastically valid sample.)
