Would you prescribe this enlightened punishment for all rape? Is all rape equal? I urge you to think very carefully before you respond, because I simply don't accept that consensual sex between a 15 year old and an 20 year old is the same as raping an unwilling victim after beating them into unconsciousness. How and where, exactly, do you draw the lines? How do you determine which rapists are worthy of castration? What you propose is simply monstrous and insupportable, all the more so because you think that it's morally justified.
What would your proposed punitive system accomplish, other than slaking a bronze age bloodthirst for vengeance?
As has been demonstrated elsewhere in the thread, it's not even particularly likely to prevent future violence, so what's the point?
Further, we've seen a number of recent cases of people exonerated after serving years for a rape conviction. Would you return their testicles to them with a hastily-scrawled note of apology?
You advocate torture as punishment for a crime. That's barbaric and inexcusable.
