I would think that quick and anonymous internet access to all things sexual might have more of an impact than spanking from when you were a toddler... I think that trying to show a causal relationship here between spanking and sexual deviancy years later is sketchy at best.

But yes, I was spanked.

Papa didn`t cuss

He didn`t raise a whole lotta fuss

But when we did wrong

Papa beat the hell out of us

I was spanked, and I cannot contest this theory.

This is such a bogus study...as is every study like this. I guarantee in 20 years there will be a study like this on putting your kids in "time out."

I was hit as a child as a form of punishment. .....still believe , although I do not practice it with my own children , that old school is the best way to go

I was spanked, and I cannot contest this theory.

I was spanked and am no stranger to a flogger... so the theory is good by me.

 

thrilled now - that we never spanked my daughter

"My hope is to convince my colleagues that they ought to put this in their textbooks," said Straus, co-director of the Family Research Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham. "It's amazing. Something experienced by all American kids gets an average of half a page in child development textbooks, and not a single one comes to the conclusion that parents should never spank."

My hope is that someone puts a bullet in this mental midget's head. Then spanks him. Unbelievable.

 

Even the revered Dr. Spock, who was anti-spanking, never came right out and advised parents outright not to do it, he added. Instead, Spock advised "avoiding it if you can."

er Dr Spock was quoted as being more than a little disgusted at the misinterpretations that millions of morons took from his book as saying that spanking should be avoided at all costs or was inherently "bad." Of course it should be avoided and used as a last resort. That doesn't make it evil. Course this was the 60s, ie the beginning of the end of common sense.....
