[Catamnesis of a group of 84 castrated sexual offenders].
The authors examined 84 castrated sexual delinquents after a 1-15-year interval following castration. 18% of the subjects were capable of occasional sexual intercourse. 21% of the subjects lived in a stable heterosexual partnership. Almost half the men had occasional erections in the morning. More than one third of the group masturbates occasionally. Only three men committed another sexual offence after castration. These offences did not have an aggressive character. From a sub-group of 32 men punished previously on account of non-sexual offences 15, i.e. almost half of them, committed further non-sexual offences. One quarter of the examined subjects had objections to the results of castration. Most frequently because sex was lacking in their life. The authors did not observe serious physical or mental consequences of castration in the examined men. Castration must be considered even nowadays an important part of the therapeutic arsenal in sexual delinquents. It should be performed in those patients who cannot be influenced by other types of treatment.
