"Spanked kids are more likely to exhibit sado-masochistic sexual desires."

Consensual sex is good. Nonconsensual sex is bad.

Corporal punishment is to a requested whipping what rape is to intercourse.

And yet we don't cite rape studies about the longterm psychological damage of consensual penetrative sex.

Though there is also the problem of culturally shunning and shaming a sensory experience.

If oral sex were criminalized, then it would be safe to say that the only people who found it desirable were those exposed to an awful criminal activity; and therefore warped.

The significant part of these studies is that kids who were beaten are more likely to seek out abusive types and end up being struck violently more often than their peers.

What those who are in loving consensual relationships do isn't for me to judge.

Again, the person with a rape fantasy doesn't want rape. And the person engaging in BD/S&M play isn't interested in being sucker-punched in an alley by strangers.
