Note that I am not saying that it is appropriate, under any circumstances, for a high school teacher to have sex with his or her student. In my opinion it is always wrong and far, far, far more likely to be exploitative and the result of manipulation than not.
I am also not asking if anybody DID sleep with a teacher in high school.
I also don’t care about people who slept with professors or teaching assistants in college. That’s a horse of a different color. Persons who want to discuss that are free to open their own thread; I simply am not interested.
Poll in a moment; the results will be private, though I can’t think of a good reason it should be. I am breaking the poll options down male versus female and also gay versus bi versus straight; when choosing how to answer, you may do so in terms of what you considered yourself at the time if you wish, or if you feel your current sexual identity is always what your true one was, you may answer thus. It’s not like I can control what you do.
ETA: Bear in mind also that your answer should be based on what you knew and felt THEN, not what you know and feel NOW.
I voted yes, incidentally, though I’m sort of cheating. In Memphis we had junior & senior high school rather than middle school & high school, and middle school included ninth grade. My English teacher that year was quite a hottie; so was my French teacher.
Oh there were plenty of females I fantasized about in high school, however none of them were faculty members. Probably because I don’t think any of them were under the age of 35. I do remember a few younger male substitute teachers that the girls were ga-ga over.
Nope. Teachers were another and much older species to me in HS. I knew of students who did have sex with one or another, but I could never understand the temptation - all my lustful thoughts were aimed at other students.
Urgh, no. We didn’t have that many male teachers at all, and the ones we did have… hell to the no.
Several years ago I did knock boots with a high school teacher (I was, obviously, well past his students’ age) and it kind of weirded me out a little bit even then to have sex with a teacher.
Ye-es. That is to say, there was a teacher that I fantasized about and thought a great deal of and adored, but when push came to shove, would I actually have had sex with him? Now that I look back I don’t think so. I would have chickened out.
ETA: He was young. I was seventeen and he was in his early twenties? Maybe? I am not positive. But he was already married and had a rugrat.
My senior year of high school, we had a new teacher fresh out of college who taught the advanced English courses. She was your stereotypical young “I’m still hep to your generation” type of instructor and she was well liked by her students. She wasn’t amazingly attractive (not that she was unattractive) but a combination of her personality, student rapport and the fact that all my other instructors were a hundred and fifty years old led me along the path of some class period daydreaming.
A whole bunch of us girls lusted after Mr. H. He was fired a few years after I was in his class, for making it with a girl on the athletic team he coached.
I never really had any hot teachers. From what I can remember, most of my teachers were male. The ones who weren’t were old. A few were nuns. I remember one fairly young, fairly attractive teacher when I was in 10th grade. My dad made some “wink wink, nudge nudge” comments about her after meeting her at a parent-teacher conference, but at that time, I still thought of her as remotely old and distant. I never had a “hot for teacher” experience.
Oh yeah. Grade 10 math teacher, can’t remember her name, but she was pretty young, maybe her first or second year teaching. If I recall correctly she got married mid year.
Grade 11 Italian teacher. She was hot, no doubt about it. Fuuny thing is, I found out years later she would hit on my father when he went in for parent-teacher interviews. He never took her up on it but he did say he would have if he wasn’t married.
There was a substitute who frequently taught my senior English class. I guess she did it for the money; it definitely wasn’t for her passion for teaching. She was really chummy, and apparently just wanted to be one of the guys. She was in her early twenties, and wore revealing clothing that was probably just . . . this . . . side of the dress code. I think every guy in the class had that fantasy, including me. It wouldn’t have been like sleeping with a teacher, though; more like sleeping with a really hot college woman.
Miss Zamarovský, a Czech woman, who taught French. Short, dark hair, a svelte body, and a gorgeous smile. When I was 16 one of my friends tried to kiss her. Really bad scene.
Miss Collins, who taught Chemistry. When we went on a school trip, a bunch of guys went into the women’s showers looking for her pubes.
I guess neither of them could have been more than 22-23 at the time, and we were 16-18. What chance did they have?
A 30-year-old friend of mine who’s a teacher had a couple of 17-year-olds come up to her last year, nudging each other and giggling. When she asked what was up, one of them blurted out “Miss you is well fit!” and then ran away, blushing.
Oh hell yeah. We had a mix of religious and lay teachers (no pun intended). A couple of the lay teachers were mid-20s, and smoking hot. I’d have hit that given a chance, as would pretty much any other straight male student.
Seeing as I went to an all-male school, where practically all the teachers were male, except for one woman who seemed positively ancient from my then perspective, no way. Though later a woman who I met at university went on to teach at that school, and even later than that she allowed me to resolve my long-standing infatuation with her, so I sort of did have sex with a teacher from my high school (allowing for the slight time warp).
Pretty much my experience, too. All-male Catholic high school. Most of our instructors were priests or male lay instructors. We had one nun, who was likely over 80, and two or three other female teachers, all of whom were over 50.
