Children who are spanked or given some form of physicial punishment by their parents may be more likely to have sexual problems as adults, a new study finds.

An analysis of four studies by Murray Straus, co-director of the Family Research Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire-Durham, found that children who suffer physical punishment in the form of spanking, hitting or slapping are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior as adults, it is reported by USA Today.

The study, presented Thursday to the American Psychological Association, suggests that spanked children also are more likely to be "physically or verbally coercing" to a sexual partner and engage in masochistic sex, including arousal by spanking, later in life.

More nonsense from the left who are ALWAYS preoccuppied with sex and against conservative forms of punishment.

[Slapshot68]

I was spanked. Have two kids. Sex is working just fine. ;)

[Andyman]

Then again, it may not.

[Resolute Conservative]

I was spanked by my hot, late 20ish history teacher when I was 13 and I had it bad for her after that.

[goodwithagun]

So that means that all of us, plus our parents and our grandparents may have had sexual problems? Wow, this is really stretching it!

[nmh]

Since Fox News is often lazy -

here’s the story they summarized in U.S.A. Today:

Sounds like Mr Strauss is having problems with personal issues....

Study: Spanking Having Democratic Homosexual Parents May Lead to Sexual Problems Later in Life

That would mean that every American over the age of 50 and all previous generations is “suffering” from these problems. Sure. Right.

Study: Spanking May Lead to Sexual Problems Later in Life

Hmmmm. What about Spanking Later in Life. I’ve been told that will reduce Sexual Problems if properly applied.

[AbeKrieger]

“Sexual Problems Later in Life”

Liberal definition: rejection of alternative lifestyles, monogamous heterosexual tendencies, failure to accept abortion as a birth control option, filled with disgust at presence of flamingly obnoxious fruitcakes who push their abhorrent sexuality in the faces of everyone.

Yep.

[svcw]

Since people spanked their kids until about 30 years ago, when they all started getting out of conrol...
Ok this is the stupidest thing I have ever read about not spanking.

[Cold Heat]

It can, if the spanking is administered for what the parent fears is some sort of sexual deviation. Administered for the wrong reasons. I have seen this happen. There is some basis for this.

But spankings in general are not damaging, and in fact can aid in teaching behavior.

IMHO....

[MEGoody]

LOL What a bunch of nonsense.

[Abathar]

LOL! If spanking were illegal when I was growing up my parents STILL wouldn't be eligible for parole yet. I look around at some of the kids today and wonder what would have happened if I acted like that, but the thought is too painful to even contemplate.

If I talked to my parents the way some of these kids did the dentist bills would be a lot cheaper that's for sure, I wouldn't have had any teeth left to clean.

[pogo101]

By this rationale, you realize, MOST of humanity throughout the centuries grew up to have “sexual problems.”

Rubbish.

[Obadiah]

More nonsense from the left who are ALWAYS preoccupied with sex and against conservative forms of punishment.

This is utter nonsense. If you spank you child out of a motive of love you help them. On the other hand, if a child is "spanked" as some manner of ongoing abuse, then yeah, that child may become screwed up.

[GoldenPup]

Patent liberal Bu!!shit, as usual.

[SmithL]

You don’t suppose that the American Psychological Association has some kind of agenda, do you?

[Slump Tester]

Me too.

(Except she has to wear tight fitting python boots that snake up to mid thigh.)

[chiefqc]

It may also lead to a life without a prison vacation, respect for others, being polite, being honest and a lot of other horrible things.

[rightwingcrazy]

I’m trying to figure out the difference between “sexual problem” and “lifestyle choice”.

[andy58-in-nh]

What drivel.

[Vor Lady]

Oh brother. People who need more meaningful work.

[DuncanWaring]

...American Psychological Association,...

This is the outfit that says that sex between adults and children is not necessarily bad.

[wideminded]

In his famous autobiography, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) described how an incident of being spanked as a youth severely distorted his sex life. Some factors that may have contributed to this were that the person spanking him was an attractive woman, and it was at a time when he was just reaching puberty.

actualy its lack there of as indicated by the reported amounts of porn young kids are watching

[Towed_Jumper]

“LOL! If spanking were illegal when I was growing up my parents STILL wouldn’t be eligible for parole yet.”

No kidding...when I was growing up my mom and I had a regular meeting ever day at 5:00PM...I’d show up in whatever room she happened to be in at the time, turn around and get whacked...”That’s for whatever you did today that you shouldn’t have!” Well, no not really —but not far from the truth ever —no sparing the rod at our house.

[Bommer]

....which is why my folks always used a belt or switch. Didn’t want to sexually mess me up....just wanted to make sure it hurt!

[killermedic]

Thanks for the pic! I find it hilarious that this attampt at brainwashing those of us who practice parenting dives into a “life-choice” that is condoned and appreciated by those on the left. What a bunch of over-funded butt-holes!

Having Democratic Homosexual Parents May Lead to Sexual Problems Later in Life

Just having Democrat parents may lead to sexual problems later in life.

There now, fixed it.

[Snickering Hound]

[nmh]

I should have marked it with a BARF ALERT!

Liberals have come up with these “studies” before to later be debunked. Liberals are tenacious. Conservatives like to “compromise” and gradually go left - like the GOP.

[weegee]

I thought they’ve said that BDSM and homosexuality etc. are welcome “variants” to the sexual pornicopia.

[theDentist]

Hey I think I knew her once... or was it twice?... yes, twice.

[nmh]

...American Psychological Association,...

This is the outfit that says that sex between adults and children is not necessarily bad.

Yup ... and homosexuality is normal (not an emotional problem - which it is) and kids should experience homosexuality - it’s not bad ... .

They’re all NUTS!

[Ingtar]

Or it could be that the ones that deserved spanking were already troublemakers and experimenters, thus earning the spanking.

[gundog]

I see a multi-million dollar study grant in your future.

[andy58-in-nh]

I often think that liberal do-gooders didn't get spanked enough when they were kids. They're the ones who wind up being control freaks and sexual deviants. Not that there's anything wrong with a little fun between consenting adults, as most of us can be trusted to draw sensible distinctions in our behavior.

[nmh]

Anything but NORMAL sex is welcome.

Perversion is in!

[Grunthor]

Children who are spanked or given some form of physicial punishment by their parents may be more likely to have sexual problems as adults, a new study finds.

Bunch of liberal PC crap.

[Ingtar]

ROFL - creative!

Tinkerbell is a fairy, isn’t she?

[mouse_35]

It may be a case of correlation, not causation. Children who engage in risky behaviors are more likely to be spanked. They grow up into adults who engage in risky behavior. More nonsense from the idiots who think they are scientists.

[Grunthor]

Your parents must’ve known mine.

[Elsiejay]

I was never spanked, that I can remember, and suffered mightily as an adult from insufficient sex.

[RainMan]

[HardStarboard]

Absolute horsepucky. Liberal psychiatric psychobabble.

[Grunthor]

The last time I spanked my oldest, she was 8 years old and deserved it mightily. She is now 18 and quite well adjusted to life and capable of supporting herself.

Her little sis was 5 at the time of the spanking and watched the whole thing.

For some reason she never did anything (that I found out about) to get on my spankin’ radar. Probably has a lot to do with learning by example.

[nmh]

Me thinks that LIBERALS have dysfunctional sex lives. They are so preoccupied with sex or lack of it. People with normal healthy sex lives don’t need to dwell on it like liberals do.

[Rick.Donaldson]

That’s probably true... most of us still like a good spanking, now and then....
