[edit] Spanking_therapy

This article is nonsense, as it descibes a "therapy" which doesn't actually exist. Presumably this, and the one supposed externally linked source on this, are written by people involved in bdsm type erotic spanking. Fictional therapies imagined by a couple people are not a candidate for a wikipedia article. Xyzzyplugh 22:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Bold text KEEP There is a usefulness to spanking therapy. From personal experience I have had a deep need for spankings for fifty years (since I was nine). It has nothing to do with BDSM although many people that need this therapy pass it off as such since BDSM seems more acceptable than the truth. ie Some people desire and need spanking for motivation and love. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.208.227.49 (talk • contribs)

KEEP - It is an emerging therapy. A few users not understanding it doesn't make it imaginary. It is NOT related to BDSM or erotic spanking. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.175.145.76 (talk • contribs)

• It may well be an emerging therapy, but it has not emerged yet, and as far as I can tell is practically nonexistant. A single website about it, which seems to be written by a single person, does not qualify a topic for wikipedia.--Xyzzyplugh 15:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
