I’m calling BS on this one. There is no way any guy would ever want to have sex with two different women.
So it wouldn’t be harmful for a teenage boy to have sex with his mother (if she is hot)?
People are capable of wanting things that aren’t good for their mental and emotional development. Teenagers are kind of notorious for it.
:eek:
If he consented to banging his mom there are more troubling issues going on there than just the secks.
You’re seriously reaching now. I’m sorry but you are simply wrong, banging those two teachers will probably be one of the best things that ever happened to him, same as it would for every single male who is attracted to women.
I don’t think you get to speak for all men who are attracted to women. You also don’t get to speak for all boys who are attracted to women.
I’m having a very hard time seeing a victim here. This is the absolute teenage fantasy come true. I would have been creaming my jeans for weeks after an encounter like that. The guy is going around bragging it up all around school. He’s the top stud in the school.
so why are these two ladies being prosecuted again? The law law makes no sense in a situation like this. This has done nothing but enrich this guy’s life.
Sex with men vs women will never be entirely equal. Guys just don’t form the same emotional attachments from a one night stand. For them it’s a conquest. The only time I’d raise concerns would be a actual relationship with a older adult. Given enough time the Guy will get emotionally invested. So yes, long term relationships are a very bad idea between a teacher and student.

btw, some of the prosecutions between a male student and Female teacher I fully support. I’ve seen news reports of female teachers sending hundreds of texts back and forth, exchanging photos and just taking over the student’s life. There’s just something not normal in a teacher putting that much into a relationship with a student. Doesn’t matter if they are 16 or even a 17 year old male. 16 being the cutoff. Any guy younger than that is too young to be screwing anybody. Their teacher or even a gf.
Firing is certainly justified. The teachers violated their contracts and their ethics as educators.
Come on now everyone, evensven knows more about how a 16 year old guy thinks that men who were 16 once.
It’s different for boys.
And it’s different for the French.
The French are wise in the ways of love.
The entire history of the species suggests that the rule “don’t have sex with these people we told you not to have sex with” is a *very *easy rule to break.
In fact, it’s a very hard rule to follow. Everybody’s rational about sex until someone makes them crazy horny.
Cool. We’ll keep that in mind if the Democratic Republic of DJ Motorbike gets off the ground.
It’s nice to see aceplace continuing his naive nostalgic old man routine. Makes me feel like I’m listening to grampa simpson.
Part of the problem is how young teachers are when they start their careers. I had a Student teacher who couldn’t have been more than 21 or 22. I was 16. She finished her degree the next semester or maybe that summer? She got a full time job at my school teaching English. That was my senior year and I was 17 and only months away from my 18th birthday.
Nobody would ever question a 20 year old dating a 25 or even 26 year old. Totally acceptable and normal. Yet somehow a natural attraction between a 17 year old and a 23 year old is twisted and wrong? Biology doesn’t work that way. We’ve had guys 17 serving in the Military. Even as recently as Viet Nam and maybe the first Gulf War. 17 year olds are Men.
Nobody’s questioning such a “natural attraction,” just what the people involved (at least the ones who are adults in a position of authority) choose to do about it.
To be fair, I was a 16 year old girl once and I had some pretty dumbshit ideas about what would be best for me. The real potential problem here is not the age difference but the power differential.
Maybe another way to think about it is, if this kid were your son, would it make sense to be so blasé about it? I’m generally down with teens having sex whenever they feel like it, but it’s also a pretty simple fact of reality that sex has potential ramifications that many teens really cannot comprehend. I think if my kid were active sexually I’d be less inclined to high five and more inclined to worry. It’s fair to say that having sexual relations with someone who is a position of authority over you, at that age, introduces a whole new slew of potential consequences that apparently even some adults have difficulty anticipating. Notice for example what a complete clusterfuck can come from an adult manager screwing his/her adult subordinate.
I’m uncomfortable with a default assumption about whether this young man was harmed either way. There are enough unknown variables that I think such behaviors on the part of adult humans should be socially condemned.
We have to set the line somewhere. But it’s more than mere numbers. A teacher/student teacher/teaching assistant is not supposed to be having sex with their students because usually it’s illegal but it’s also extremely inappropriate professionally speaking. I’m not surprised but disappointed this has to be pointed out to you.
I understand it’s a violation of the teacher ethics. It should absolutely be grounds for firing. That would be equally true of a 22 year old Grad Student teaching a Freshman class. It’s not a crime to date a college student, but it is a violation of the University’s code of conduct.
The age of consent was 16 in nearly every state when I was growing up. Which is a sensible age. Students can quit school (if they want) and go to work full time at 16. The drop out age varies from state to state. They drive at 16. They are in every sense adults except they can’t sign contracts or vote.
Why everyone wants to roll back the age of consent makes no sense to me. Save the laws and prosecutions for the real crimes. Any adult that touches a kid under 16 needs to be prosecuted. The only exception would be a high school student (16 or 17) dating their gf. Most state laws will accept a couple years age difference before it becomes a crime.
Yeah, one of my professors wrote extensively about female prison guards who would have sex with prisoners. There were guys in the classes who thought prison suddenly seemed better, because hey, they’re getting to have sex with women!
Except they were punished if they didn’t. The guards have a great deal of power over the prisoners. They can make things up, hurt them physically, get other prisoners to hurt them, etc.
People who don’t think this stuff through think “Oh, he’s getting his dick wet. That’s perfect.” But before and after the sex itself there can be enormous pressure and repercussions.
ETA: The attitude that of course no boy would ever not want to have sex with a teacher operates like saying sluts can’t be raped because they’re always giving it away.
And the attitude that hot teachers aren’t doing anything wrong operates like saying there’s no way a hot man could be a rapist because he doesn’t have to rape to get sex.
Actually, this report indicates that they engaged in a threesome (quoting part of one sentence should be OK):
