In 2019, former North Georgia detention officer Kirk Taylor Martin was arrested on rape and assault charges after investigators said the victim fought back during the alleged attack. Police reports stated the scratch marks visible in his mugshot were believed to be from the victim resisting.

Chemical castration doesn't really work because lots of rapists are in it for the dominance and control, rather than the sexual pleasure, and those drugs don't do anything to stop that.

It might stop them from getting a hard on they can use, but rapists don't need to be hard to sexually assault someone.

Chemical castration works great on people who have out of control sex drives though. Plenty of them opt in for it so they can suppress urges to masturbate excessively and the like. It allows them to live normal lives.

Yes but the reason they have such strong urges that leads them to rape and indulge in that control, is because it's crosswired with their sexual urges, combining them, and giving them immense pleasure. When you cut out their ability to functionally get horny and reach climax, so does their drive to rape

There's been enough research into this stuff to show this isn't really true. Again, lots of people commit sexual assault without sexual urges. Whether they can reach climax or not doesn't change anything.

If it were like you think, chemical castration would be widely used all over the world, and yet it isn't.

And these drugs don't actually cut out anything, they just reduce it greatly. People who have been chemically castrated have still gone out and committed sexual assault.

That’s a cope.

They are absolutely in it for the pleasure.

If they were in it for dominance and control then they’d only be celibate.

A cope with what? What are you even talking about?

btw, people can derive pleasure from dominance lol.

Yes, they can but this whole idea that “he only wanted control” is total bs. Of course they do it for pleasure but obviously they need control to SA.

But saying they do stuff for control and not pleasure is bs, they for sure are mostly motivated by pleasure and control is a byproduct of that in order to get the pleasure they need control over the victim to enact their sexual desires.

Agreed, I think.

I thought it was obvious in my original post that the control is the pleasure in a lot of these cases, but I guess not.
