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.

I was spanked. Have two kids. Sex is working just fine. ;)
Then again, it may not.
I was spanked by my hot, late 20ish history teacher when I was 13 and I had it bad for her after that.
So that means that all of us, plus our parents and our grandparents may have had sexual problems? Wow, this is really stretching it!
here’s the story they summarized in U.S.A. Today:

Sounds like Mr Strauss is having problems with personal issues....
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.
“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.
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.
But spankings in general are not damaging, and in fact can aid in teaching behavior.
IMHO....
LOL What a bunch of nonsense.
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.
By this rationale, you realize, MOST of humanity throughout the centuries grew up to have “sexual problems.”
Rubbish.
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.
Patent liberal Bu!!shit, as usual.
You don’t suppose that the American Psychological Association has some kind of agenda, do you?
(Except she has to wear tight fitting python boots that snake up to mid thigh.)
