Demi - I have a booklet put out by an anti-physical-punishment organization (it is neutral on other issues), and they list the many harms that are, or have the potential to be, done by "spanking". Here is just one: there are nerves in the backside & legs that lead to the sex organs and a sensitive child who is spanked is mildly "aroused" even though there is pain, too.

In these children, a kind of neurological pathway is formed that causes the pain and pleasure to be confounded in the brain, so these children, when they grow up, are the ones who put ads in magazines saying, "Spanking wanted." Years ago, I had heard about men & women who actually wanted spankings but could never figure out what the hell was going on. Then, years later, after I had children and sent away for that booklet, I came to understand.

Isn't this absolutely pathetic? And I am glad that you are so highly educated on the matter of genital cutting of children; you are rare indeed.
