Is it not slightly patronising to suggest that paedophiles are incapable of controlling their actions just because they're unable to get their end away though? I mean I've gone for long periods without sex before, and I don't resort to going around raping women. I mean what's wrong with your right hand (or left hand in a paedophiles case) and your imagination?
I'm very dubious that this product will reduce or increase the likelihood of a paedophile acting on their urges with a child. And given that the evidence is pretty sketchy either way, I see no reason why it should be banned. And that's the way it should work imo. Stuff shouldn't be banned on some vague unsubstantiated claim that it will increase the risk of a crime occurring. Some people think this sort of product should be more like medicine, where you have to prove it safe before you can sell it, but I suspect the real reason why they want it banned is because they find it distasteful. Personally, I prefer a society where finding something disgusting is not grounds for banning it.
