35. For what purpose?
While the sperm count is lower in a chemically castrated male, it is not completely gone. Such a male could impregnate a woman.

Rape in and of itself has little to do with sex. Those who rape enjoy the power and control of the situation. Chemical castration typically only serves to frustrate individuals -- they cannot find release even through fantasy. Once the urge for the experience becomes great enough, they will still find a way to exert power and control over another individual. Chemical (even physical) castration just serves to speed this process.

The morning after pill, if offered by medical professionals, could make pregnancy due to rape non-existant.
