Spanked: How Hitting Our Children is Harming Ourselves is a historical and cultural analysis of the long accepted practice of hitting children for learning and obedience. The book begins with understanding who spanks and how the practice of using a hand to hit the buttocks of children evolved. Erickson explores the cultural factors from historical magazine articles and parenting books to contemporary beliefs that support this type of discipline. Spanking's connections to a variety of topics are clarified, including the feelings of parents, perceptions of children, potential child abuse, school corporal punishment, attachment and bonding, the legal language that allows hitting of one's children but not others, and international perspectives on physical punishment. The book invites an exploration of who we are as parents, and as a society, and what family leadership really means. Book group questions for families, professionals, and organizations lend the book useful for conversation and dialogue in libraries, living rooms, offices, and classrooms. Erickson gives readers an open platform to discuss respectfully what we are really communicating when we spank children.

Aunt Adelaine's final will and testament said that "Addy Tyler shall inherit all of my estate, including my quirky but very large castle of a house and its current tenant, the very stubborn lawyer, Spenser Reed. The only condition on this will is that Addy be married within the year...." Sometimes Addy thought it was all a dream. No way was she going to be bulldozed into marriage, like some nineteenth-century Victorian! But then she found herself standing at the courthouse saying "I do" to Spenser, the most gorgeous and sexy man she'd ever met. It was to be a temporary marriage in name only. Then they started talking about the sleeping arrangements....

This volume provides an integrative theory firmly grounded in current psychology of the self, and offers a fresh, compelling account of one of psychology's most enigmatic behavior patterns. Professor Baumeister provides comprehensive coverage of historical and cross-cultural theories and empirical data on masochism and presents recent, original data drawn from a large data set of anonymous masochistic scripts of fantasies and favorite experiences. Drawn from the latest social psychological research and theories, Professor Baumeister returns the emphasis to the original and proto-typical form of masochism -- sexual masochism - - and explains these phenomena as a means of releasing the individual from the burden of self-awareness. It is the first volume to present a psychological theory compatible with the mounting evidence that most masochists are not mentally ill nor does masochism derives from sadism. Instead, Professor Baumeister finds that masochism emerges as an escapist response to the problematic nature of selfhood and he attempts to foster an understanding of sexual masochism that emphasizes both "escape from self" and "construction of meaning" hypotheses. The book is directed at all those interested in the self and identity in paradoxical behavior patterns and in the construction of meaning, presenting specific clinical recommendations.

To be flattering, it’s an avant-garde, maybe even esoteric, sport. To be truthful, it’s a genuinely oddball sport. Evolved from Eastern European contests in which male athletes try to knock each other off their feet with face slaps, and somewhat similar to nalgadas y cachetadas contests in Hispanic jaripeo rodeos, Booty Slap involves two scantily-clad young ladies trading spanks until one of them wins—by whatever criterion might be agreed upon by the participants, the judges, and the crowd. The only constant is two shapely sets of attractive, reddened and red-hot female buttocks at the end of a match. Call Booty Slap what you will, whether avant-garde, esoteric, oddball or just plain crazy, one thing’s for sure: guys, and even girls, often love watching it. Check it out YouTube and see for yourself. So what might happen if, as seems possible one day, Booty Slap is accepted in the United States as a spectator sport as much as seems to have happened in Eastern Europe, or even the way nalgadas y cachetadas contests (girls slapping their boyfriends’ faces and in turn, bending over and submitting to retaliatory spanks by the boyfriends) are an integral part of jaripeo rodeos? Belinda Krüger, a German exchange student, explores this question in a most personal way in the pages of this tale—or tail. Hold onto your popos as she journeys to Las Vegas and competes to win a scholarship to a “name” American art school, getting her rump roasted thoroughly in the process and incidentally, developing a romantic and sexual attraction to her “coach” as only spanking aficionados can truly appreciate. Who knows? Her dream—as well as the sport of Booty Slap in America—just might become a reality.
