I can agree with all of this except for point 8:

8. Spanking on the buttocks, an erogenous zone in childhood, can create in the child's mind an association between pain and sexual pleasure, and lead to difficulties in adulthood. "Spanking wanted" ads in alternative newspapers attest to the sad consequences of this confusion of pain and pleasure. If a child receives little parental attention except when being punished, this will further merge the concepts of pain and pleasure in the child's mind. A child in this situation will have little self-esteem, believing he deserves nothing better. For more on this topic, see "The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children" (also in French).

This is, IMO, grossly over-generalised and totally fails to understand the mindset of those who engage in BDSM.
I won't go into a long treatise here, but, trust me, I *do* know what I'm talking about!!
