I think it's probably a bit of both - and that it varies with the perpetrator (not all brains are the same). But that's a total guess.
And before anyone one jumps up and down. Yes it is a crime. Yes it is immoral. No I don't think castration makes sense. If you cut a criminal - you are likely to turn them into an angrier criminal IMHO.
I would consider chemical castration (ie reversible non-punitive) for repeat offenders. Maybe they could have the option of earlier release under those circumstances vs later release without it - so that it became a choice made as part of rehabilitation.
