1) Castration stops the source of testosterone as well as sperm.  It
effectively ends sexual desire, as well as the chance to father children.
That doesn't address the main motivation for rape.

I'm very aware that rape is not motivated by desire, that it's about dominance instead. It seems to me that if a man knows he will be castrated for committing rape, he's got a very strong disincentive.

2) If a male is physically incapable of normal sexual functions, due to a physical lack, he can still perform acts that qualify as rape. Someone who uses a foreign object does not automatically qualify for a lesser sentence.

Well, there's also shooting the bastards. If a man's that committed to rape, it seems to me he's essentially disqualified himself from being on the planet with those of us who can maintain control and function as more or less civilized creatures.
