Not to the point it becomes entirely ineffective. The point here is that we don’t have a better way of dealing with or treating people with this issue. It’s the least-worst option we have available to us.
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 this doesn’t mitivate the urges then if you want to put it that way.

I still don’t think feeding/appeasing the problem is better than treating it and cutting it out.
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.

But that doesn’t mean we should give up
