Study: Spanking May Lead to Sexual “Problems” Later…

The analysis of four studies by Murray Straus, suggests that children whose parents spanked, slapped, hit or threw objects at them may have a greater chance of physically or verbally coercing a sexual partner, engaging in risky sexual behavior or engaging in masochistic sex, including sexual arousal by spanking.

While I call bullshit on this I would like to point out that Studies are far and wide a crock of shit.  Anyone can play with numbers and statistics and get a result supporting their theory.  One of the big wigs at work really gets fired up about these so called scientific studies.  His favorite example:  “Statics indicate that wearing a bra may contribute to developing breast cancer.  I would venture to say nearly every single woman with breast cancer has worn one in their life time.”  Of course no one has made the above claim (at least I hope my tax dollars haven’t gone to fund that) because it is absurd. This study has that same sort of self serving  flavor to it.  A group of weenie hippie types who think spanking kids is bad have decided to get some attention but attaching it to the one thing which is guaranteed to perk everyone’s curiosity.

While I am not trying to make light of men or women who are violent and force themselves on people I have to say there is a difference between being coercive and brutal and being aggressive and overt.  Risky sexual behavior is a relative term but having sex without a condom and picking up strangers is a terribly stupid and dangerous thing.  If we are talking about masochism in the BDSM sense, then well no harm no foul, but if you are talking about masochism in the playing with death sense or getting off of mutilating yourself, well that is something else entirely.  Sexual arousal by spanking, well… heh.

We are not going to open a debate on what is and isn’t problem sexual behavior but I will say this much.  In my opinion, everyone regardless of being spanked as a child or not, is sexually coercive on some level.   Plus, what is coercive behavior?  I think many people confuse being sexual overt and aggressive with forceful and/or coercive behavior.   Ask any group of men if they would have a problem with a sexually coercive woman.  Trust me, if there is one that balks, he is gay.     Women are no different about this for the most part.  Women, not the feminista eunuch fangirls, love and often gravitate to aggressive men.   I am not talking about some stalker asshole male or female, those folks have problems that stem from a whole lot more than being spanked as a child.

Engaging in risky sexual behavior…

The third study, of 440 high school students from New Hampshire, examined risky sex, such as premarital sex without a condom.

I am going to state the obvious here, since everyone is thinking it.  Teenagers are stupid and have this odd idea they are invincible and most these days seem totally unacquainted with consequences of their actions.   The fact we have sexualized everything from perfume to cheeseburgers is the problem.  If teenagers are screwing they are making a bad choice from the get go, why would you expect them to choose to use a condom? As for adults and risky sexual behavior, well I could probably find an equal number of idiots in the unspanked masses.  Some folks are just too stupid to live.

Masochism is a whole lifestyle and I bet you can find just as many unspanked folks living this lifestyle as spanked.  Speaking of spanking, show me the harm in consenting adults enjoying a good spanking.   Hell, there have been songs devoted to Smackin’ Ass.

I consider myself fairly open minded about sex and what works for people.  The philosophy is pretty simple for me.  Consenting adults should be left to their own kinks.  Stay away from the children and minors, leave the livestock and house pets alone, and for goodness sake keep the swapping of bodily fluids to salive and those sexually generated ya pervs.
