Chemical castration for a healthier society

[Loppan Torkel]

I noticed that Most beautiful woman on world-thread had somewhere around ten times the ordinary view-count.... I'm guessing there's a lot of time and production being wasted on this, to understate it.

Iceland is shutting down the sex industry, China is abusing it's power over citizens to force it's one-child policy. Rape and sexual abuse is fairly common and violence due to high levels of testosterone.

Women have been on birth control pills over several decades. Would male medical and reversible castration on a societal scale be a good way to go to create a better and more peaceful world?

What would it take for you to consider it?
Would you be able to live a fulfilling life despite being medically robbed of your manhood?
Would this the ultimate and final goal of the feminist movement?


Update: No pills required, all you need is an ultrasound shot to your testes and you're done. It's for your own good.

Making it available but optional can't hurt, but making it in any way mandatory is a huge rights violation.

Still, people can have fulfilling lives without being sexually active.

Wow, not ten minutes ago I was thinking about chemical castration as punishment for sex offenders, so when I saw this thread I assumed that was the topic and voted 'great idea'.

No, I wouldn't consider it.

Too late, you've agreed to it already.

It would never work if it was totally optional. Isn't it optional today. Vasectomy is, isn't it?!

If it was voted through in a national public vote or if you could buy yourself free by paying a hefty sex-tax to compensate the extra burden you would be on the society.

Or would the capitalistic society break down if this would happen? What drives men to be successful is taken out of the equation?!

Doubtful

Also doubtful

I'm pretty sure such a thing would bring the downfall of society. Sex drives technology. I mean the entire internet was once the domain of pompous academics until someone realized you could put pictures of naked ladies on it. Now everyone and their brother has broadband creating a new means of communicating to the masses.

... chemical castration should only be used very sparingly, on heinous convicted rapists.

To use such a thing on a massive scale would, before any implementation, lead to revolts of epic proportions. (Robbing men of the pleasure of playing with his dong while watching the game is simply a bridge too far)

Even if successfully implemented, the societal ramifications would be... well, epic, for a lack of a better word.

 

[holy king]

i prefer mechanical castration.

What would it take for you to consider it?

Assuming that I can still get boners, pleasure from sex, and a bunch of my sperm stored away somewhere, 500 trillion australian dollars.

 

[History_Buff]

Not castration per se, but if there was a male birth control pill that would just temporarily sterilize you (I know that's not what BC does for girls, but whatever), I'd take that.

 

[Luckymoose]

I would love a male birth control pill.

 

[Shadylookin]

Are we talking a male birth control here or male castration? because those are 2 very different things.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Unfortunately, those who should chemically castrate themselves never seem to do so. I'm looking at you here, GHWB.

Many agree that rape is more about power than sex. The irony of Women's Equality is that many insecure males attempt to put women back in their place by bruit physical assault. I believe education and time are the solutions.

Forced castration would conflict with constitutional guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment. Voluntary castration is an oxymoron.

Chemical castration as I understand it is quite unlike physical castration. Might want to make it an option in case people actually opted for it. I wouldn't take the option myself though.

 

[dusters]

Anything irreversible seems like a human rights violation. temporary inactive sperm? sonds like a good idea. One time she takes the pill, other time he does. Very fair, aint it?

With an "r".

Obviously if your penis falls off it won't be reversable.
