I just want to say that I'm glad your site exists. I am a spankophile--someone to whom spanking is a sexual fetish. Because of this I've always felt like a pervert. Now, in my 40's, I've seen enough to know that I'm not all that odd. Do a Google search for "spank" and see what you get: hundreds of sites dedicated to sexual spanking. I don't believe that I was ever spanked in a sexual way as a child, but I have no doubt that unintended sensual stimulation during these punishments created my sexual profile. Fortunately, my interests only involve adult women, but I'm afraid there are others out there whose desires are not so limited.

Not everyone who spanks or gets spanked achieves sexual stimulation, but the possibility is out there and the odds are better than good. The fact is, it is wrong to do anything to a child that will affect their sexual development. It's not worth the risk.
