What is perverted to one is acceptable or normal to another. I don't think S&M is perverted, and I know people into it. Some people enjoy their sexual fetishes and kinks, and that's perfectly fine. Changing sexual tastes is next to impossible, and I don't think anyone should seek therapy or try to change it if it isn't a problem for them. I think people should enjoy sex and fighting your desires means you'll decrease your sexual enjoyment, at least for a while, during your therapy or whatever.

Hey! I'm not suggesting that consenting adults shouldn't do what they want! I think sexual kinks are only problematic if they lead to a lack of intimacy (for example, if you get so far into role-playing that you feel like you lose a sense of being yourself in a relationship [my own experience]). I had some difficulty finding balance, but I'm definitely not trying to become a prude here. :P

I know lots of experiences will affect sexuality. I just think that spanking can be unnecessarily confusing for the small number of children who do have sexual reactions to it. There are enough problems already in childhood.
