I don't see how spanking a child can be sexualized...

Yeah some people would never be able to see it as sexual. And I think that's healthy!!! But I also think it's important to understand that some people DO see it as sexual and that seeing it that way is beyond their control. You have only to do an Internet search on the word "spanking" to find thousands of websites (in the U.S. and abroad) where people are practicing it for sexual pleasure. I doubt that particular fetishism would exist if no one experienced it in childhood (I personally think a person's sexuality is more or less "set" by the time they become an adult, but that's based on my experience).

P.S. There are also physiological reasons why a person might experience it as sexual which was why I list the URL http://www.nospank.net/sexdngrs.htm (explains some of that)
