Of course, I used to walk around with a book in my pants and ended up getting twice the spankings I deserved. My dad's even used a belt.
But I've heard of many people that were brought up without physical dicipline and they turned out fine. So if it's not necessary why do it? There are many ways to dicipline a child, and it's about applying rules and committing to them.
