Spanking enthusiasts possibly on to something

"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... Scientists claim that drug addiction, alcoholism, suicidal behavior and psychosomatic disorders are all caused by a lack of zest for life. When a patient is caned, the body starts producing endorphins - happiness hormones - and life seems attractive again. The recommended treatment course is 30 sessions of 60 cane strokes, delivered on the buttocks by a person of average build... The scientists claim the effect of the treatment is even greater if a patient is caned by a doctor of the opposite sex."
