Edgar: It sounds like you are assuming that "desire" is something which can be statically satisfied with some possible arrangement of the physical universe. That seems unlikely to me; I am pretty sure my desires are unreasonable and include such things as eating a cake and keep it too. Perhaps some virtual world will satisfy potential rapists, but I somehow doubt even that.
Also, the desire is only half the equation - the other half is how to meet ones desires in the world. I think that the blindness rapists have to the reality of persons, themselves and others, is also a contributing factor, and more likely to be amenable to intervention than fully fulfilling some endless mutating desire. The way to end desires is to be able to have them without feeding them. Neither push towards nor push away. --Chris, rather gradually catching up after a week of sesshin and a week at Universal Studios Harry Potter World.
