As being one who was constantly subjected to "Corporal punishment", I can defiantly say in my case it was due to my father's upbringing and how he saw life and how he should raise me. He was a miserable man who hated life and what it did to him despite his so-called religious beliefs.

Did I deserve the punishment maybe, but where do you draw the line. Is spanking ok, or how about spanking with a shoe, or hitting your kid with your fist? Where do we stop, and say that's abuse and punishment. Or maybe not letting the child eat at the same table with the rest of the family for a month.

So having gone through that I made a promise to wife, son and myself that I would never lay a hand on him and neither has she. And so far he's turned out just fine. It's amazing what timeouts does to a kid or giving him/her a red X if they do something wrong, meaning no TV or something he/she loves to do.

Now to answer the question did it lead me to BDSM no to tell you the truth my wife has.

I’ve been quiet for sometime now, you might want to say I was “Finding Myself” or what ever, but I promise if there is something that tickles my fancy I’ll post.
