I lied in my earlier note to satisfy a spanking fetish
Question:
The following email conversation was made up on my part. I have had a fetish of spanking since I was 4 years old as far as I can remember. I recently had a memory restored to me of being spanked at 1 1/2 years old. I established some dysfunctional associations with spanking and my sexuality and have struggled with them since. I now see the magnitude of damage it has caused me, and I have caused as a result. I am so sorry. I now see how damaging inflicting any form of hurt upon another causes people in many facets of life, including anything from spanking to war, and I believe the two are related. I firmly believe there are much more loving ways of discipline and guidance, and if one ever feels the need to 'correct' another's behavior, the mirror is a much more appropriate place to turn to than a paddle. Jesus spoke of tolerance, kindness, and forgiveness. He was far from punishing (aside from throwing a few tables over at the temple). Mathew 18:6 says it well.
Anyway, I plead with you to remove my words of perversion from your site. I am so sorry for misleading you and your readers and spreading my poison in your direction, and I pray nobody has been harmed or hurt as a result.
May you have a wonderful and loving New Year.
Answer:
When it comes to issues involving spanking, I get more fraudulent messages than real ones. Sometimes, I let matters play out to see what comes of it. When possible, if there are usable parts to a note that I suspect aren't truthful, I will respond simply because it makes a good teaching situation. The answers I gave were accurate to the information provided. I won't be removing the answers. I don't keep records of who sent what, so I can't even verify your claim that you provided the original question.
Frankly, multiple things in this note cause me to suspect that what is being claimed is not accurate either.
- Though there was an exchange of about four emails, the sender did not know my name.
- The referenced note has been posted for years.
- Claims of recovered memory have been debunked decades ago in psychology.
- The mention of a connection between spanking and war tells me the person is among the anti-spanking crowd. The truth is that spanking does not cause wars.
Therefore, I conclude the person is lying and is trying to get some of the effective teaching on this website removed.
