My h and I have watched this, and I still have no desire to be spanked! Seriously, though, I completely agree that on a more general level, sharing this with your spouse can be a way to generate dialogue to explore other things, even if dominance is not one's cup of tea.
Generally speaking, many women are conditioned to not speak openly about sex, and men understandably are left worried that if they suggest something different, will their wife will be receptive, look at them as if they've lost their mind or be on the receiving end of the frying pan? I guess if I were a guy in this position, I wouldn't pop this into the dvd player.
But my take: while some scenes of this film were more disturbing than erotic for me, the overall sexual tension was still very much present.
