I am not in favor of spanking because it is an illogical scary thing to do to a child. It fills them with fear and anxiety and causes them to lack confidence and self esteem. They often do not know why they are spanked.. I do not think spanking causes a particular sexual orientation because all people essentially were spanked in the 50's and possibly 60's and before in previous generations. It did get people to fall into line, but it did make people obedient or rebellious but not a more sensitive person.
