I would agree with you, if we had any plausible way of treating and cutting it out. Unfortunately we don't, short of chemical castration.
You think counseling or therapy is entirely ineffective?
Thus far, counselling and therapy is almost entirely only obtained by the portion of the group that has already acted on their thoughts and urges. I think we can agree that that's probably too late in terms of harm prevention. I also doubt we have the resources to provide that sort of personal treatment to everybody suffering from the issue, at least under our current system.
But that doesn't mean we should give up
I'm not suggesting we do, that was not the point of the original discussion.
