Children need discipline. Sometimes it's enough to ground the child or confiscate his/her favorite toy; sometimes the kid needs a slap. You have to be careful where to draw the line, though - not enough discipline and your kids run wild, get addicted to drugs, etc.; too much and your children resent you and you border on child abuse. (This comes with the disclaimer that I am not a mother.)
Between consenting adults: That's another matter. It must be between consenting adults, though; spousal abuse is unacceptable.
