Kids Sure are Lucky These Days

There have been dozens and dozens of female teachers caught having sex with underage students over the last several years.

What is new is the delivery of these teachers to the "justice" system.

It is not clear that teachers having sex with their students is new, or that it is getting worse, however.
 
To me it's more to do with the power disparity created by the professional / pupil relationship than it is their ages. Maybe it's because I'm getting over the hill but the difference between 16 and 23 is not that huge. Okay maybe a bit, but really nothing to write home about if it was consensual.

I would be pissed about professional misconduct and abuse of power, more than I would be my son getting with an older woman. If she's a nice 23 year old woman who seems stable and loving, I might not be opposed. Same if I had a daughter in the same position. Bring the older one home to meet me and I'll suss them out :)

But yeah if it was his teacher I'd probably want to kill her... just because it's a rather captive relationship. Never mix business and pleasure, I always say.
 
And it's been going on a long, long time.

The original famous one, Mary Kay Letourneau, I found out later, got it on with her (really under-age) student in a parking lot right across the street from the apartment (upper floor of a house) where I was living at the time.
 
I wonder what the legal repercussions would be if he impregnated that teacher.
 
Why in the hell would a 16yo boy tell the police he was having sex with a 23yo teacher? I could see his parents finding out and telling the police, but him?

Ain't worth nothing is ya can't brag. Teacher is an idiot.

Kids are going to talk, especially 16 year old boys. I'd have bragged about it. I know that.

And one would think an "educator" would know that also. As I said, she is an Idiot.
 
Man, 16 and banging this a few times a week. What's not to like about High School?

Texas teacher accused of having sex with student, age 16 | The State

Not really an appropriate tone. Despite the apparent obscurity, men are often sexually abused by women.

"while it is often assumed that inmate-on-inmate sexual assault comprises men victimizing men, the survey found that women state prisoners were more than three times as likely to experience sexual victimization perpetrated by women inmates (13.7 percent) than were men to be victimized by other male inmates (4.2 percent) (Beck et al., 2013)."

The specific issue with your tone here is that it discourages male rape victims from confronting their aggressors:

"Male victims may experience pressure to interpret sexual victimization by women in a way more consistent with masculinity ideals, such as the idea that men should relish any available opportunity for sex (Davies & Rogers, 2006). Or, sexual victimization might be reframed as a form of sexual initiation or a rite of passage, to make it seem benign. In some cases, male victims are portrayed as responsible for the abuse. Particularly as male victims move from childhood to adolescence, they are ascribed more blame for encounters with adult women."

I sure wish that chick had abused me when I was 16.

The problem is not whether the student was eager. The problem is that the teacher engaged in a breach of ethics.

The disparity in authority erodes the already precarious ability of a minor to consent to sexual activity.

Had a friend in HS who was banging a teacher. He told a couple of us about it, but it never got out to wide circulation. She was only at our HS a couple of years but when she moved god damn if she didn't give him a box good cigars. As far as I know no one ever found out. Couple of years later a male teacher was forced to resign after it was found out he was banging a 9th grader. Apparently girls write this **** in their diary and parents read them. Why charges were never pressed IDK, but I suspect the parents didn't want their daughter to have to go through a trial etc, but the guy did resign and has never worked as a teacher again.

But yeah, playing with fire, teachers should know better.

Public schools and Catholic Churches both used to hush this up back in the day. Perhaps there was a parental component to it as well. I never thought about that.

I don't think the student cared about any of that. He just knows he was tapping a hot 23 year old teacher.
 
I couldn't imagine what an incredible experience it would be to be with a teacher that beautiful at 16. As many guys get older, they often start to play stupid games to get gorgeous women, so I could see how she could be attracted to a boy who's probably pretty innocent when it comes to playing emotional/relationship games, pretty much physically mature, probably falling in love for the first time, and views you as a romantic/sexual fantasy come true.

It's as close to pedophilia as one can get, in my opinion.
 
What harm do you believe this boy suffered?

I'm not sure. Depending on a boy's maturity level, it could be none, a little or a great deal. The important thing, the only thing that matters in this discussion, is that it's against the law.

If that's the only thing that matters then why did you give your opinion in post #44?

I don't understand. I said I thought it was as close to pedophilia as one could get. How is that contradictory?
