The problem with suicide bombers is that they are already "addicted" (in some sense), to a toxic, and extreme, strain of their religion. It's possible that they could be weaned from their fanaticism and ideology via a substitute like sex. On the other hand, many of them already have access to plenty of sex - for example, UBL had four wives, and the 9/11 terrorists are known to have patronized prostitutes and strip clubs in the days prior to their suicide hijackings. So it may not be a perfect substitution for someone who is that dedicated to the cause.
