Dude, chill! I like being tied up and spanked, so climb down off your soapbox. As others have already pointed out, the key here is consent. And if I "inflicted" my moral code on others, we'd all be living in bisexual polyamorous BDSM communes, so you might want to back off on the caffeine before you read your own particular phobias and prejudices into my words.

Smacking your SO because you're drunk and mad is not an action conducive to healthy relationships. Period. Just because she hasn't gone to the police yet does not prove consent. The boyfriend admitted that they were fighting, he at least was drunk, she was hitting him, so he hit her back. If you can't see the difference between mild domestic violence (in which both parties are COMPLICIT - not CONSENTING - big difference) and a consensual BDSM relationship, then maybe you need to examine your perspective a bit. The boyfriend didn't say "yeah, we're into rough sex and things got a little rough." He admitted they were whacking each other in a fight. I don't know what you classify as a "healthy" relationship, but IMHO this is not it.

You seem to be a bit touchy about people judging relationships - I'm sorry if my earlier words came off as judgmental and sweeping; I didn't realize I'd have to make a distinction between "good" hitting and "bad" hitting - seems pretty evident to me, and to most other reasonable people around here. You might look at how your own experiences might be coloring your reaction.
