Rush touched on this.....

How about spanking monkeys...uh, and other lower primates? Will that work?

Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57 for treatment at Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine, said: 'The treatment works. I'm not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.'

My parents' generation could have made a fortune charging less.

Oh boy...we're 2 days early for the Official Friday Silliness Thread....and poor Thag can't help himself!!!

I've been looking for a business start-up.

spank. Errr, I mean ping.

[teenyelliott]

High levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or 'happy chemicals' and this leads to feelings of euphoria.

Then why wasn't I euphoric when I gave birth to three children???

[antiRepublicrat]

So the S&M crowd was on to something all along...

It may sound a bit kinky but everything from depression to alcoholism can be cured with a beating on the bare bottom, scientists claim.
They left part out! Poor research.
Russian Scientists Suggest Caning to Cure Drug Addicts
A group of Russian scientists has suggested caning as a treatment for those who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction as well as depression and suicidal tendencies, the Izvestia daily reports.
Those "scientists" recommend caning for a whole host of "ailments".
Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57 for treatment at Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine, said: 'The treatment works. I'm not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.'
As I said the other day...He's not a "classic" masochist, he's a "New Age" masochist.

Note how one article has him as a sadist and the other has him as a masochist.

[najida]

Ah,
hmmmm,
yeah,
suuuurrrreeee.....
I can here it now "Oh darlin', feelin' a little blue? Well I've got just the remedy".

Hrmpt,
I wasn't born yesterday.

[exnavychick]

Good golly, Miss Molly! You mean I could pay some therapist to cane my kids, but if I do it myself, CPS will take them away?

*scratching head*

Curiouser and curiouser.

[avg_freeper]

It worked for Castle Anthrax.

[Fam4Bush]

Ok, just what the guys need to hear. Enuff, already.

[joebuck]

Yeah? Well just try to get your medical insurance provider to pay for those one hour sessions at Madama Wanda's house of pain and see how much they buy into this theory. lol

[Fintan]

 

Don't worry, be happy!

[Jaysun]

Just conducted a home test. I don't know how long it's supposed to take for the positive effects to kick in, but so far, the wife seems full of anything BUT 'happy chemicals' - no feelings of euphoria either.

Did I miss something? Did I screw it up by surprising her, dragging her out of the shower, and beating her ass on the bathroom floor?

"Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57..."

Dr Sergei Speransky, also known by his trade name, Dr Strangelove Spanksky now charges patients £57...

That's better.

[pissant]

Therapy ping!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57 for treatment at Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine, said: 'The treatment works. I'm not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.'

Ya' can't spell Speransky without Spanks.

[Centurion2000]

heh

I don't remember ever gushing with happiness when my old man whacked me, and I'd be a damn sight less happy if anyone tried it today.

My vote - based on my admittedly anecdotal experience - is to let whoever came up with this idea go back to the drawing board.
