Evo7,
I concur with Genghis.
Stall/spin characteristics vary a lot according to the basic aircraft, aircraft loading, method/circumstances of entry, and subsequent control handling .. and probably a lot of other things not generally within my ken ... no doubt some of the TPs could go on at length on the subject.
I am all for (at the very least) exposure training both for familiarity with an aircraft's characteristics and manipulative confidence building, accident stats notwithstanding.
Many people don't like much in the way of varying g-loads - me included - but the fact still remains that a pilot, even while minding his/her own business, can inadvertently get into awkward situations - knowledge and confidence contribute a lot both to avoiding and getting out of such situations.
I trained in AirTourers in the 60s and sometime after first solo thought it appropriate to ask my God-like instructor whether we ought to have a look at these mysterious things... which we did, even though that aeroplane doesn't really do a spin as such. After my initial, quite disorienting, exposure .. which I remember very clearly ... dear old Cec wasn't into political correctness and student molly-coddling to any great extent .. I found subsequent aerobatic training, both visual and instrument, to be great fun and a great learning and confidence experience.
Perhaps contrary to your more youthful observations at the time and now inferred comparisons to flying, I am of the view that sex is a damned sight better fun than spinning .... but, then again, each activity requires generous helpings of sound basic training and subsequent dedication to continuation training for successful execution ... so I guess that they are in the same league after all.
