Do you believe corporal punishment was abolished in schools because they found out certain pupils were secretly enjoying it?

There is a popular belief that that was the reason why. Your thoughts?

Never heard of that. Only one teacher in my school was allowed to use Corporal Punishment. Since he was the one that usually got the worst behaved students in school. (Parents gave him written permission even when he didn't ask for it)
He used 'The Beach Bat' it was bigger then a ping-pong racket and had been reinforced by the woodwork teacher, and It was covered in graffiti. The only way you could write your name on that thing was to get smacked by it.
Though he rarely used it. He had such a loud bellow he could rattle windows and your very core.
And yes. It took me 3 years of being in his class to earn my name on it.
During lunch, he was on his knees leaning on a desk as he did, and the Beach Bat was on the counter behind him. I couldn't resist. He smacked him across the ass with it, just as hard as I could. He yelled. I dropped it and ran. Got on top of a desk trying to climb over when his heavy footsteps caught up to me and I was launched over the table and out the door.
I poked my head into his class halfway through the next lesson. He just looked at me and laughed.
