They may not get an erection if they chemically castrate, but I'm not convinced that it kills their sex drive completely. After all, men who take Viagra obviously take it because they still want to have sex, they just have difficulty with the equipment. And the sadistic pedophiles may still get excited by harming a child -- it probably isn't all just sexual for them. Like most sex offenders, power and control is a big factor. Otherwise, people would just pick up prostitutes instead of raping if it was just about getting access to sex. Though I'm okay with it as a punishment for punishment's sake. I just don't trust that it really keeps kids safe.
