::::::I'm baffled by all the folks complaining about how bad this is for rapists. Sure, it might cause lots of pain. You know what else causes lots of pain? Rape. Sure it might cause permanent damage. You know what else causes permanent damage? Rape. I'm all for treating people humanely, but this is no less humane than a swift kick to the testicles or a bullet in the chest. Or, for that matter, than rape.
