Due to my abiding interest in corporal punishment, I do find myself visiting a number of websites related to the subject.
There are those who have a keen interest in CP and experienced it without regrets as a child.
In my experience, these people tend to be older and were at school in the days when CP was still legal.
Then there are those who were badly abused in the past, and who mostly have a natural aversion to CP.
However, even some of this group may still considerably less harsh use of spanking as a reasonable discipline.
On the other hand, there are those who consider a mere single slap to the clothed bottom to be ‘abuse’ – the latter tend to be from a younger generation.
