To be fair, there may be other ways to explain their conclusions - and you might not need the clamps, harnesses and whips to replicate that kind of closeness (simply cooking a meal together might do the trick as well). Still, there is a stigma associated with S&M that critics are calling into question.

Love the article Johnnycat posted. This is all very interesting. The science behind it all is cool. And I can def vouch for their findings. Spanking does bring couples together, in my experience.
