It is so amazing that when there is scientific research done on the part of someone who holds the title of doctor, that there is always a negative effect or some sexual disfunctions. I also find it amazing how they are able to just go out and find these subjects many of them adult school college people. Either someone conducting the survey was not asking the right questions, or they were being dupped into believeing what they were being fed with no real proof to show for their research.
As an adult male that grew up at a time when spanking was the normal and any adult can hit a child through spankings from parents, to school teachers, principals, policemen, priest or nuns, none of the people in my generation ended up in prison for it, had sexual dysfunctions, or problems steeming from the spanking. It is another excuse for not dealing with an issue and a solution that works. I raised my son on spankings since I was a single father and he turned out ok with no problems and thanked me for taking the time to do it while he was growing up. No child wants to be spanked, but it seems to be the most effective way of getting across a point and it is not sexual. If spanking someone especially a child is a sexual turn on then there is something wrong with the person doing the spanking or something wrong with the child concerning sex that has nothing to do with spanking. Parents today are so caught up in their own careers that they do not give attention to their children and have strangers raising them and that is the problem with kids getting into trouble or being abusive or whatever because they are retaliating from the fact they had parents who did not care enough about them to show it by taking the time to punish them with a spanking. The butt is padded for a reason and can endure more than you think, and it worked well in the past and just as effective today but parents are always looking for the easy way out and scientist use these parents fears and concerns to get grants to validate them. When this country needs is a good spanking from childhoon into adulthood and beyond in some cases including when adults are incarcerated and maybe the point will get across than all of this pampering and using solutions like grounding or something as stupid for to ground a kid today as punishment is the biggest laugh of all with all the technology to keep them more in touch with their friends. This ignoring true punishment for grounding only leads kids to have time on their hands to search the internet and get themselves into trouble and it is that trouble that leads to some deadly consequences. So think of that the next time you think of grounding your child as to just giving them a good old fashion over the knee spanking with your hand. I am against things like paddles or other impliments but the hand will not do damage and get the point across. Anyone can turn anything into something sexual but spanking is not it. If they are going to be turned on sexually to someone, they will find ways and only using spankings as the culprits. There is no accountability today and that is what has caused the problems that these researches have found and not the spankings themselves. In the old west, fathers would spank their sons well into adult hood by taking them out to the barn and giving them a good whipping and they turned out ok as did anyone who got spanked before the seventies when women decided to get this practice outlawed with laws being made to prevent it and that is where the real problems started, not before. Look at the behaviour of kids prior to the sevenites and the robots we see being raised today with no respect and parents themselves who need to be spanked for the way the raised these children who have no heart or soul and think nothing about suing their own parents and so forth. You tell me if these researches are true or not and are you willing to go by them and pay the consequences later on. It seems to me that things that were effective and worked in the past are pushed aside for things that do the opposit and people wonders whatever happen to the good old days.
