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.

Bunch of liberal PC crap.

ROFL - creative!

Tinkerbell is a fairy, isn’t she?

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.

Your parents must’ve known mine.

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

Absolute horsepucky. Liberal psychiatric psychobabble.

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.

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....

I used to enjoy flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality until someone pointed out that I was just flogging a dead horse...

[Old Professer]

Either that or they will grow up to be climate change scientists.

[Steely Tom]

More nonsense from the left who are ALWAYS preoccuppied with sex...

The left talks about sex so much because it's the only thing they really know anything about.

My dad used to work for Standard Brands, the marketers of Chase and Sandborn coffee.

Maybe this ad is where I got may male centric chauvinism.

works for me!

You are kidding right?

I’m not even over 40 and was spanked as a child. No problems here. I do however respect my parents still and treat them appropriately. I have two well behaved children who are occasionally spanked. They believe in God and try (try I said, they still are human) to behave most of the time.

Maybe that’s the problem. The liberals would have them not believe in God and disrespect their elders. I have completely ruined my children.

Just when you thought you couldn’t have even greater contempt for the American Psychobabble and Pedophiles Defense Association...

[Rick.Donaldson]

/sigh... yes Dan LOL

[massgopguy]

Project No Spank’s own web-site says that 90% of parents admit to spanking a child.
