|    Spanking causes sexual problems sez APA.    |

      XPost: alt.psychology, sci.psychology, alt.sex.bondage       XPost: alt.flame.fucking.faggots       From: dank@nugget.org              Some new study conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA)       claims that being spanked during childhood leads to "sexual problems"       later in life, including a preference for sadomasochistic sex.              Now I want to know why sadomasochism is considered a sexual problem while       homosexuality and transexuality are not. I'm not arguing that they are       sexual problems, but the fact is that the same APA had previously defined       homosexuals and transexuals as abnormal and practitioners were diagnosed       as mentally ill and subjected to shock treatment to cure them of their       perverted tendencies. Now those same exact sexual preferences are defined       as "normal" by the same exact American Psychological Association, but S&M       is still naughty and requires $500/hour psychotherapy (or shock treatment)       to cure. Interestingly, it is those people who object to the APA's previous       mental disorder of homosexuality who are now diagnosed as mentally defective       and subjected to $500/hour psychotherapy to treat their tolerance disorder.              Perhaps if more psychologists were into S&M, B&D, DV/DA, and watersports       then those activities would be defined as mentally hygienic and there       would be a huge social crusade to promote awareness and tolerance of it       in schools and the workplace.              Article Link:       http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hfFJ2o-5pwO6alsig-o7kJRf7IVQD8V4ATU00              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
