Not every positive experience is dramatic, and not every positive effect of corporal punishment is dramatic either. Many keep quite about positive experiences because of social pressures. Where corporal punishment is widely portrayed as being a form of child abuse, nobody wanst the label of supporting such a thing. I expect that many of the positive effects are subtle and go unnoticed. People become good at attitbuting their success to other things, especially when they suspect that pointing out that they benefited will lead to people claiming that they might have paraphilas, or be romanticising the past. Probably a lot of people simply get on with living their own lives happily.
