 Spanking is more effective than exercise at keeping the blues at bay, say Russian researchers who carried out tests on caning.
| "Oh, spank me, Dmitri! But be gentle!" |
They recommend that people receive 30 weekly sessions of 60 of the best. High levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or 'happy chemicals' and this leads to feelings of euphoria.
| Ummm... Only if you're inclined that way, I think... |
Endorphins also boost the immune system, release sex hormones and reduce appetite.
"C'mere, Dmitri, you wild stallion!"
"Pavel! Unhand me!" |
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.'
| £57 per treatment? I'm buying a stick and going into business for myself... |
