Still never been down there.<br />I'll take the word on the Rousseau comment, I too like Paul almost re-read that posting about sexual spanking. VERY well-informed, but almost too much so like someone that searches blogger.com everyday for spanking posts :-D<br />-RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-46527640428276561862010-03-10T20:41:30.257-05:002010-03-10T20:41:30.257-05:00As for spanking being *stimulative*...

I think he said that once he showed so much *enjoyment* that the woman never dared spank him again!<br /><br />I'm not a big spanker. I usually whack on the temple with two fingers.<br /><br />Plus, you can spank the crap out of my daughter and she'll laugh at you. She's tough as nails.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-73995337821671500602010-03-10T19:52:56.535-05:002010-03-10T19:52:56.535-05:00No way.

In some countries they still do. In our country, it is considered sexual battery if a person over the age of 18 is "spanked", but only if over the age of 18.<br /><br />For one thing, because the buttocks are so close to the genitals and so multiply linked to sexual nerve centers, striking them can trigger powerful and involuntary sexual stimulus in some people. There are numerous physiological ways in which it can be sexually abusive, but I won't list them all here. One can use the resources I've posted if they want to learn more.<br /><br />Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE:<br /><br />Child buttock-battering (euphemistically labeled "spanking","swatting","switching","smacking", "paddling",or other cute-sounding names) for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit.<br /><br />Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing, and learn how to DISCIPLINE instead of hit.<br /><br />I think the reason why television shows like "Supernanny" and "Dr. Phil" are so popular is because that is precisely what many (not all) people are trying to do.<br /><br />There are several reasons why child bottom-slapping isn't a good idea. Here are some good, quick reads recommended by professionals:<br /><br />Plain Talk About Spanking<br />by Jordan Riak,<br /><br />The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children<br />by Tom Johnson,<br /><br />NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say<br />by Lesli Taylor M.D. and Adah Maurer Ph.D.<br /><br />Most compelling of all reasons to abandon this worst of all bad habits is the fact that buttock-battering can be unintentional sexual abuse for some children. There is an abundance of educational resources, testimony, documentation, etc available on the subject that can easily be found by doing a little research with the recommended reads-visit the website of Parents and Teachers Against Violence In Education at www.nospank.net.<br /><br />Just a handful of those helping to raise awareness of why child bottom-slapping isn't a good idea:<br /><br />American Academy of Pediatrics,<br />American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,<br />American Psychological Association,<br />Center For Effective Discipline,<br />Churches' Network For Non-Violence,<br />Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu,<br />Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps,<br />Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children,<br />United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.<br /><br />In 26 countries, child corporal punishment is prohibited by law (with more in process). In fact, the US was the only UN member that did not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-2792200709765871892010-03-10T09:44:55.181-05:002010-03-10T09:44:55.181-05:00Having only raised one crumb-cruncher, I can only ...Having only raised one crumb-cruncher, I can only say that my kid delivered the behavior that was demanded of him, from me. Certainly nothing more and nothing less. Early on in the single parent environment, I made it very clear to my boy that he was to do exactly what I told him to do when I said it. To this very day (he is 20 years old now), he STILL freezes in his tracks when I whistle at him.

But I think any decent child, (son or daughter) should grow to understand the love inherent in strictness as an adult. Unless of course they're personal responsibility-shunning lefties. But what precautions does one take the first instance of a time-out in a bathroom to prevent toilet paper being unrolled, or shampoo & toothpaste being exploded.
