The Anaxial's Roster entry says otherwise, but perhaps it's been superseded.
I am curious that you are so against this idea -- surely the idea of being tainted by unnatural urges is a) hardly uncommon, b) a source of great story hooks, and c) makes mythic sense. What is the downside? All I can see is that the Cacodemon write-up doesn't mention it, but, honestly, that can be addressed in a whole bunch of ways -- including merely that the cult doesn't address it in the same way that Orlanth doesn't, say, address eating all that much.
