NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Parents who teach "tough love" by disciplining their
children with spankings could be making them more likely to have sexual problems
as teenagers and adults, a leading researcher said.

Professor Murray Straus, of the University of New Hampshire, found that children
who are spanked or experience other corporal punishment have a raised risk as
teenagers and adults to verbally or physically coerce a partner into having sex.

"It's more evidence that parents should not spank if the wellbeing of their
children is at stake," he said in an interview.

Straus analyzed the results of the International Dating Violence Study, a survey
of more than 14,000 university students at 68 universities in 32 countries. The
students were asked if they had been spanked or hit frequently before age 12 and
if they had coerced a sexual partner in the previous 12 months.

Men who had experienced corporal punishment were four times more likely to
physically coerce a partner into having sex, than those who had not experienced
a lot of corporal punishment.

Physical coercion includes holding someone down or hitting them. Women who had
experienced corporal punishment were also more likely to coerce sex from a
partner than those who had not been spanked.

Why is spanking a problem? Because the baby boomers of the 50's got
their ass spanked quite often and those that say it's bad for kids are
those that got their ass whipped the most and regularly. They are the
ones having problems as adults so they blame it on spanking.

The kid that gets his way will be the one growing up thinking he can
get away with anything because he hasn't learned that being bad is not
a good thing.

So, let me get this straight. You're saying that spanking is harmful (or
at the least ineffective), right? After all, all these "boomers of the
50's" are having problems in spite of the spankings.
