Caning isn't just for fun and games. There's scientific proof that it can be beneficial to your health.
Several years ago,
Siberian scientists hypothesized that addiction to alcohol and narcotics, as well as depression, suicidal thoughts and psychosomatic diseases, occur when an individual loses his or her interest in life. The absence of the will to live is caused with decreasing production of endorphins - the substance that is known as the "hormone of happiness".
After careful study of the available literature on endorphins, depression and addiction, they came to the conclusion that if an addict individual receives a physical punishment like caning, it will stir up endorphin receptors, activate the “production of happiness” and eventually remove the craving for the addictive substance.
They them set out to test their theory on drug addicts who volunteered to take part in the experiment. The recommended course of therapy was 30 sessions of 60 strokes on the buttocks in every procedure. The results were described as excellent.
The doctor in charge of the study noted that "the whipping therapy becomes much more efficient when a patient receives the punishment from a person of the opposite sex. The effect is astounding: the patient starts seeing only bright colors in the surrounding world, the heartache disappears, although it will take a certain time for the buttocks to heal, of course."
One of the women who administered the caning said of the 10 patients she caned regularly to test the results, "At first they didn't like it, but when they started to feel the benefits they kept asking for more."
Any volunteers for a followup study?
