Okay I posted this in another forum once and really ticked off the administrator. But it's an issue I've thought about so I'll put it out there:

I'm very opposed to spanking children. Not just because I'm opposed to physical violence in general (which I am) but also because I think it can mess with a person's sexual identity. There's a website called Nospank.net that has some articles specifically on this topic. One in particular: http://www.nospank.net/donahue.htm

I agree with that author that it can be a sexualized form of abuse. Alhough I don't think anyone ever intends it that way (except maybe for a few sadists out there). I'm curious if anyone else has thought about it in this fashion?
