Dear Like To be Spanked,
Being spanked is not considered abnormal sexual behavior as long as it is a mutually acceptable activity and you do not experience permanent injury or excessive pain. The key is that both people involved in the relationship are comfortable with this. When engaging in behavior like spanking it is important to have open communication with your partner to discuss limits and agree that if either partner is not enjoying himself or herself, that the spanking will stop immediately.
FX feels that you may be experiencing some guilt about liking this activity because you asked “is there something wrong with me?”. FX wants to assure you that while this act may not appear acceptable and talked about in society, it is okay if you are comfortable with it. Sometimes behaviors that are not accepted as “mainstream” may be a turn-on. As you explore your sexuality, you may discover activities that excite you and turn you on. Again, these behaviors are okay as long as they are not harming anyone and are agreed upon by both people.
Just a reminder, it is important to always practice safer sex by using latex condoms, gloves, and dental dams.

Teens often abuse prescription drugs because of the myth that these drugs provide a medically safe high.
