:::Ok, finally found paraphilic, but at dictionary.com instead of m-w.com. It references Merriam-Webster Medicine Dictionary, so unfortunately you won't see it on m-w... Vastly annoying... -[[User:Vina|Vina]] 22:00, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:::"Spanking as a form of corrective action has got nothing to do with sex" - Ok, I agree with you that at first glance, it probably doesn't. This article or this particular section, especially because it references paraphilias, sounds like it was written by a psychologist or psychiatrist. I think it might be a valid claim that there is a Jungian or Freudian belief that spanking has the intrinsic motivation of sexual humiliation designed to change behavior. I do agree with you though that no normal parent spanks their child out of a desire to sexually humiliate the child. The passage warrants inclusion, in my opinion, if it is clearly stated that the inferrence of sexual humiliation is Jungian or Freudian. --[[User:Abqwildcat|ABQCat]] 00:05, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I must take exception to this, as what constitues a "notrmal parent" is in itself POV. What exactly is "normal?" In terms of sexual bahaviour, is a participation S&M "normal" or "abnormal?"
Child abuse is abnormal, but as someone who has lived through times where coproral punishment was allowed in schools in the UK, I did witness acts of "sadism" where the punisher, was more than "relieved" the punishment had been carried out. Some rather normal-looking games teachers (PE) in the school I went to, took physical and mental delight at inflicting pain, in such a way that they might have been considered, perverted, had it not been for the legality of spanking. Anyone who has been to a British public school, will undoubedtly have witnessed similar acts of (alleged) "sadism", by respected members of society who were not labelled "perverts".
