I understand the reasoning behind your opinion on this matter, but please allow me to disagree with you.

Boys and girls are psychologically different. As a 42-year-old man, I agree that when an adult man uses force or fraud to trick an underage girl into having sexual relations with him, it is rape — a nauseating violation of the natural order. Girls associate sex with love, and, when the loveless nature of statutory rape becomes obvious to them, they feel cheap and used. (And, of course, when a grown man seduces a teenage girl, he is using her — which is why any sort of extra-marital sex is a sin. It is a sin to use people solely as a means of obtaining pleasure.)

But as a former 14 year old boy, I think I can say with authority that I myself would not have felt in the least bit violated had a teacher like this one seduced me. On the contrary, it would have made me feel like the biggest stud that ever walked the earth. Boys do not associate sex with love; to them, sex is conquest, and “conquering” a grown woman is the ultimate sign of masculinity.

Of course, statutory rape is rape. No matter which sex is involved, there is always an unequal power arrangement between the older and younger participants.

Statutory rape should remain a crime because it damages society. It damages society because it is fraudulent: a teenager cannot possibly be fully aware of the physical, legal, and moral ramifications of the sexual act, and, therefore any “consent” they might give in such cases is invalid. However, the amount of psychological damage done to the adolescent in a given case of statutory rape varies from seveere (in the case of girls) to nonexistent (in the case of boys). In fact, the real threat from older-woman-teenage-boy acts is not any damage such an act might cause to the teenage boy’s self-esteem, but the amount of unhealthy ego it might inspire in him. A kid who can attract and conquer a grownup woman is not going to grow up with much respect for women.

Again, I understand your thinking on this issue. But the simple fact is that, for most teenage boys, being seduced by a lithe honey blonde would be a dream come true, not a nightmare. I wish it weren’t so, but that’s the way real boys are in the real world.

“Boys and girls are psychologically different. “

Yes they are; girls mature psychologically faster.

“But as a former 14 year old boy, I think I can say with authority that I myself would not have felt in the least bit violated had a teacher like this one seduced me.”

And as a 14 year old boy you are not mature enough to make that decision. By LAW Also in practice.

“Boys do not associate sex with love; to them, sex is conquest, and “conquering” a grown woman is the ultimate sign of masculinity.”

So the middle age adolescents on here are trying to establish their masculinity?

” But the simple fact is that, for most teenage boys, being seduced by a lithe honey blonde would be a dream come true, not a nightmare”

Drinking a keg is also a dream for young kids. The point is we are supposed to protect kids while they learn and become adults. What happens when he gets HPV or gets her pregnant? Rape is rape and condoning it is contemptible.

Why aren’t teachers going for 18 year olds? Probably because most 18 year olds are mature enough to know they don’t need a middle age sex partner.

"a teenager cannot possibly be fully aware of the physical, legal, and moral ramifications of the sexual act, and, therefore any “consent” they might give in such cases is invalid."

Then no one under the age of 18 should ever be charged as an adult for any crime that they have ever committed while a teenager if they aren't capable of understanding the ramifications of those actions.

I understand your point, however, women have changed over the years. Women these days fly the space shuttle, can go to war and fight in combat, can be a CEO of a major corporation, can abort a baby against the father's consent, have over 50% of the management positions in America, have significantly more than 50% of college enrollments, get significantly more funding for disease research, and even run for President. We've been told for decades that women can do anything a man can do! Women are equal equal equal EQUAL!

Except for when it comes to crime and punishment, in which case women should be treated dramically less harsh than men for the same crimes.

Must be nice to be an attractive American female these days. Every advantage under the sun, with no consequences or accountability!

This is rape.

The problem with adult women (even if sexy) going after underage males, since it spoils the young man into being a lush for sex, when they have no means other than masturbation (porn industry wins) and premarital sex WITH OTHER TEENS to acquire it.

If you didn’t know that teen-pregnancy is a sure recipe for poverty, now you know, and that’s what this 14 year old will be looking for, and inflicting on the 12 and 13 year olds around him. Just watch.

In short, by raping this boy, she has either activated him into a victim of the porn industry, or into a “stud” which will render many a young girl pregnant.

I am a Christian, and I haven’t even used, “Thou shalt not commit adultery” yet, along with the fact that God does not let adulterers into heaven, and eternal hellfire is waiting for them.

I agree...... thank you.

But as a former 14 year old boy, I think I can say with authority that I myself would not have felt in the least bit violated had a teacher like this one seduced me. On the contrary, it would have made me feel like the biggest stud that ever walked the earth.

Ahhh, so if this beautiful woman had seduced you and she was into S&M or had some other really nasty sexual fetishes you wouldn't have felt violated? You are making a blanket statement based on how hot this woman is and are acting as if every sexual encounter is a light-hearted romp in the hay.
