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.

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.

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

What drivel.

Oh brother. People who need more meaningful work.

...American Psychological Association,...

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

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.

“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.

....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!

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.

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.

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

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

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!
