Why do people like spanking?

Answer 1

People spank their children because of their behavior. Some parents do it for controll, and to feel that they made their child learn their lesson. There is a major difference between abuse and spanking though. spanking should only be done on the butt; it can be on the clothed or bare. They can spank with anything from their hand to a wooden spoon.
Mainly because they have done something naughty. A child may have wet the bed or done a bad thing at school or home and as a result the parents (or parent) spanks their child so in the hope that because it hurts them then they will not do it again.

Except that you never punish a child for wetting the bed. That will make it worse since this is usually something they can not help doing.

Answer 2

it is the way for lazy parents to disapline their child.Instead of explaining to the child why the shouldn't do that,they resort to force and violence.I was spanked as a child,and i really dont remember what i did wrong-so to this day I still hate my parents.Don't spank you child-it has long-term effects

Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE:

Child buttock-battering for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit.

Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing, and learn how to DISCIPLINE instead of hit.

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.

There are several reasons why child buttock-battering isn't a good idea. Here are some good, quick reads recommended by professionals:

Plain Talk About Spanking
by Jordan Riak,

The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children
by Tom Johnson,

NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say
by Lesli Taylor M.D. and Adah Maurer Ph.D.


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 testimony, educational resources, documentation, etc available on the subject that can easily be found by doing a little research on "spanking".

Just a handful of those helping to raise awareness of why child buttock-battering isn't a good idea:

American Academy of Pediatrics,

American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,

Center For Effective Discipline,

PsycHealth Ltd Behavioral Health Professionals,

Churches' Network For Non-Violence,

Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu,

Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps,

Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children,

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In 26 countries, child buttock-battering 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.

Answer 3

If you're talking about erotic spanking between consenting adults, you're talking about an "erogenous zone" -- a part of the body that triggers or enhances sexual arousal when stimulated. The buttocks are frequently an erogenous zones, as are the lips. That's why kissing feels so good. Some people are also sexually aroused by pain.

Spanking children is, of course, a bad idea.

Answer 4

There is a lot of information on this issue in the Colorado Bureau of Prisons museum in Canon City. The statistics show that when this form of punishment was performed the prison population was easier to control and there were less problems in all aspects of prison administration. The reason is two fold: 1. There is pain involved and this registers immediate respect in the brain. 2. The psychological aspects are embarassment and humiliation in addition to immediate consequences.

Answer 5

It turns some people on, and its fun for some people just like sex toys, pulling hair, etc. It can also be a form of dominance and control which is scary.

Answer 6

It shows them that the action that they have done is not acceptable. But I wouldn't recommend too much spanking.

Answer 7

Because parents want what is good for you and would not like to spoil you

Answer 8

Because they want to feel their butt and squeeze it.
