Oh boy, now The Only Real Good™ changes with perspective. How does your model account for those whose perspective is that the only Real Good is stoic good? How about people whose perspective is that positive emotional reinforcement is not a uniform indication of goodness or decency in the first place. That addiction is not a moral good, for example, just because heroin gives you the good feels.
Is it really so difficult, so painful for you...to just say that you think the sex offenders satisfaction is a bad thing..that you would prevent..and that just maybe, you hadn't really thought this through? That you don't want to convince anyone of your wordview..if they plan on applying your worldview....to you......
-If this is going to devolve into an invocation of absolute moral relativism...when it started out as a claim that there was only one real type of good.....then why seek enlighentment in your worldview at all, particularly when you could achieve the same euphoria from sex offense or heroin?
