I think the word "castration", makes people confused into thinking this would be effective. If you told the public you were letting violent rapists out of prison as long as they take a stronger type of salt peter, they'd think you were an idiot, yet, this is a close equivalent. Sex drive is likely a fraction of the motivation of rapists.

If the testicles aren't surgically removed, maybe we shouldn't misleadingly refer to it as castration, simply for clarity...
