What perverted person takes the time to ask people if they were spanked and did they talk someone into having sex? You can go to a bar and talk someone into having sex. The problem with issues like this is they are "researched" by people with no kids or people that didn't really raise their own children (had a nanny). That's the problem with kids today. They dress weird, you say "they are expressing themselves". They draw pictures of devils and demons "go to the therapist". Not the fact that they could have saw the pictures in a book or on TV. Not that parents could say, "Are you crazy, you are not walking out of the house dressed like a clown". The problem is parents want to be their kids "super buddy" instead of being a parent. Yes, children need corporal punishment. If you say they don't, then you should say, no death penalty or life sentences for criminals. You spank your child in hopes of correcting their actions. Sometimes they do, sometimes you have to do more than spanking. If the child grows up with little to no consequences for their actions or severe enough punishments, what do you think will happen when that child is an adult? Good people are raised, not born.
