In a maximum security mental health facility in Montreal is a "cave-like" virtual reality vault that's used to show images of child sexual abuse to sex offenders. Patients sit inside the vault with devices placed around their penises to measure signs of arousal as they are shown computer-generated animations of naked children.
"We do develop pornography, but these images and animations are not used for the pleasure of the patient but to assess them," said Patrice Renaud, who heads up the project at the Institut Philippe-Pinel. "It's a bit like using a polygraph but with other measurement techniques."
The system, combined with other psychological assessments, is used to build up a profile of the individual's sexual preferences that can be used by the court to determine the risk they pose to society and by mental health professionals to determine treatment.
[...] The patients sit on a stool inside the chamber wearing stereoscopic glasses which create the three-dimensional effect on the surrounding walls. The glasses are fitted with eye-tracking technology to ensure they aren't trying to trick the system by avoiding looking at the critical content.

Using the same logic then those who are aroused by normal porn should be locked up too as potential rapists?
Perhaps the researchers and their supporters should masturbate for real rather than with their research.

If you want to reduce their sexual desire, cut their balls off (I know there are some female offenders but they're a minority).

It's possible to cut females balls off too. It's just they are located on the inside.
Male and female anatomy is actually quite similar it's just proportions and locations that has been skewed heavily.
