Just an addendum

One of the MAIN reasons i have not had these types of urges myself ( though i did go through a period of excessive promiscuity.. but show me a college student who HASN'T) is the fact that i am able to talk and write about it. I can only do this because i have parents that took care of me.

But i know i am a pretty unusual case. There are MILLIONS of young people out there who can't figure out their sexuality simply because their INTRODUCTION to sexual relations was in itself deviant. If a child is told at age 5 that these actions are "good" or "beautiful", how can you expect him to ever truly know what is right and what is wrong? Again i was lucky have parents willing to talk to me about this and sort out my confusion. Most kids aren't that lucky.

Also one more thing. Castrating a perpetrator is "too much, too late". The child is ALREADY a victim. He quite probably BECAME a victim because social taboos prevented his molester from ever discussing or dealing with his own abuse. What good does it do to castrate the fool?

In pakistan you can be put to death for adultery.. doesn't stop people. You can be whipped 100 times in public for intoxication.. doesn't stop people. In fact there are plenty of severe punishments for plenty of behaviors all over the world. How many of those harsh punishments actually do anything other than drive the bahaviour undergound?
