Spanking
I believe there will come a time in the future when people will read history, learn that we had a practice of beating children systematically on their bare buttocks, and they will cringe in the horror of such a bizarrely cruel and ineffective parenting approach to misbehavior.
What say you? Study: Spanking may lead to sexual problems later Quote:

It's the duct tape of parenting. Ugly but quick and effective enough in the short term to make it popular - but the problem will still have to be addresses for real at some point.

It really doesn't get to the seat of the problem, does it. Even if the kid is being a cheeky little ass.

maybe it's not the parental spanking but the being studied by Murray Straus that leads to sexual deviance?

OK. So how many of us here were brought up by parents who spanked us? I was and I dont fall into the 'physically or verbally coercing a sexual partner, engaging in risky sexual behavior or engaging in masochistic sex, including sexual arousal by spanking' category.

I was spanked by my parents.
My children have never been spanked. |

I don't have a problem with spanking kids, with the hand in a reasonable manner and not in anger, for egregious offenses.
I DO have a problem with hitting kids with belts, wire coat hangers, and hairbrushes--all of which were used on me.
