Spanking Kids Linked to Risky Sex
A study being released today, links spanking & other corporal punishment techniques of children, claims that it leads to that child developing some form of naughty sexual behavior as adults. It is supposedly based on 80 years of spanking studies, from a supposed expert in the field, Murray Straus (co director of Family Research Laboratory at University of New Hampshire – Durham)
The analysis of four studies by Murray Straus, co-director of the Family Research Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire-Durham, suggests that children whose parents spanked, slapped, hit or threw objects at them may have a greater chance of physically or verbally coercing a sexual partner, engaging in risky sexual behavior or engaging in masochistic sex, including sexual arousal by spanking.

Rather a broad claim, don’t you think? But then too, if your parents threw things at you, I kind of think it would make you a wee bit on the aggressive side of things, later on. And that is part of what I have a problem with, in looking at these kinds of studies.
Was it the spanking, or the throwing of objects, or maybe the slapping that created this so called increase in risky sexual behavior? And just what is ‘risky sexual behavior‘ under the study. Well reading further in the report, it appears that it is having premarital sex, without a condom.
And then there is the degree of pain inflicted? Was it severe, was it even based on true discipline, or was it merely abuse by a parent? Where is the line drawn, and was it even taken into account? I mean it would seem to me that any parent throwing stuff at their kids is not disciplining them, but abusing them.
Slapping as a form of discipline? I don’t know, guess I was lucky because I never had that as a kid, but sometimes a bit of rough sex isn’t all that bad. So did the lack of being paddled, being slapped, make me desire a slap or two across the rump? I tend to doubt it.
There are three conclusions to this study. One that it leads to increased coercion of sexual partners, second leads to risky sexual behavior, and finally leads to masochistic sex. Yet, what are the criteria for these conclusions? What does Mr Straus consider coercion? Is it pleading, or saying come on you like it, get em off. Is it to say, no whipped cream on your pie unless you suck me off?
Masochistic sex is what? Having your sex partner slap your bottom a few times, or tweak your nipple? Is it letting your teeth rake the head of the penis when you are sucking him off, or pulling on his hair, making him suck your dick faster, deeper?
Hell, is having Gay Sex risky sexual behavior under this study? Many Homosexuals practice safer sex, but the vast majority of heterosexual couples don’t. Makes you wonder is it because as kiddies they were all spanked by their parents, or is it because they don’t believe STD’s and HIV are a risk to their type of sexual activity?
