Which is 1930's technology, basically.

So not all that surprising little progress has been made in treatment in this arena (or pedophilia either) IMHO.

Maybe it cannot 'be fixed'? Aside from locking people up and throwing away the key once it's discovered that 'this is how they are'.

I suspect (and oft opine) that there are a lot more things that are 'genetic' ... than people want to admit.
