Are you making an argument for abstinance, Colwyn? It's a nice idea but not practical. there aren't enough people who would go along with it.

Humans are animals. This is not intended as an insult (either to people or animals). It is a fact. We are the most successful animal species on this planet. As such we are subject to the same drives that got us to this point. A well educated, conscious, adult MIGHT be able to restrain him/herself but not all the time. Education and erudition does not separate one from the basic animal nature that connects us to the rest of the world.

And there are those of our species who live closer to those instincts and urges than others. We may see them as uneducated or brutish but they are our brothers and sisters. And they are as much a part of the problem as the rest of us. Sex is a basic need and urge and must either be satisfied or rejected. Rejecting that urge takes a lot more character(?)/strength(?) than most of us are capable of showing.

I'm afraid abstinance is not a solution.

A good, dependable, reversable male sterilization would help. Unfortunately that touches on issues of individual rights and male pride that it will never be a reality.
