That being said, I have experienced how testosterone can influence sex drive and I can very easily see how it could impact pedophiles.
So... postmenopausal women never want sex?
I have experienced my nymphatic sex drive while both on and off testosterone... I seriously do not understand what castration of women would solve. For that matter... I don't see what castration of a man would do past leaving them unable to make babies.
When all of my hormones run out (only on anti-androgen), I still have some drive, albeit it's miserable. Having T running rampant in my system? That shit is more depressing than anything.
I guess that's the difference between you and me 'before.' My sex drive felt like an addiction; I had to do 'something' whether I really wanted to or not. I felt like it was on control of me, instead of my being in control of it. Now that I feel like I'm in control of my sex drive, I'm much happier and more comfortable with it. So I don't know if that's a trans thing or if testosterone in general has that 'sex addiction feel.' And if it is like curing a sex addiction to those pedophiles, castration could undoubtedly help.
Also, you may really want to get back on estrogen. Testosterone blockers alone don't work very well. I know my T levels have been pretty high when I had those rough periods that I wasn't on estrogen.
