Chemical castration

Chemical castration is a medical treatment given to people who have certain conditions that cause them to behave in sexually inappropriate ways, like molesting or raping people or having a strong attraction to children or animals.

Just like how doctors give you medicine to help you feel better when you’re sick, chemical castration is when doctors give people a special medicine to lower the amount of hormones, which are chemicals that control our bodies, that make these people want to have sex.

Sometimes, people who get chemical castration have to take the medicine for the rest of their lives, but it helps them not want to do bad things to other people, and keeps them out of trouble. It’s like a helper medicine that helps them control their bad feelings so they don't do bad things to others.
