Study Shows Link to Childhood Spanking to Risky Adult Sex


New research by a University of New Hampshire domestic abuse expert says spanking children affects their sex lives as adults. Professor Murray Straus concludes that children who are spanked are more likely as adults to coerce partners to have sex, to have unprotected sex and to have masochistic sex.

"The best-kept secret in child psychology is that children who were never spanked are among the best behaved," Straus said.

Guess if you like a nice paddle ever now and then, you can blame your parents. Another great conversation to save for Thanksgiving dinner.
