"Apparently you were never a normal, healthy high school
male teenager with a sexy looking teacher."

Apparently you think it's OK for a female teacher to have sex with a male student. I find that very strange. Now let's hear about your attitude about a male teacher and a female student. Please explain if the two attitudes are different.

As for myself, I had a couple of very sexy teachers. Neither had sex with students. Personally, I had my relationships in high school with girls in high school. I would never have had sex with a teacher, no matter how good-looking she was.

Adults having sex with kids is just plain wrong. It doesn't matter what sex they are.

Like it or not there is a double standard. There is a reason for this. Boys and girls are not the same! For one thing girls can get pregnant. Boys can't.

If that were the only reason, it would be enough to explain the double standard but the attitude of boys that age towards sex are also clearly different from girls. Boys can, and do, have sex with absolutely no emotional attachment what so ever. With girls, this is usually not the case.

To sum up, male teachers having consensual sex with female students can cause both emotional and physical harm, (if she gets pregnant), to an underage female. Conversely, little or no harm is likely if a female teacher has consensual sex with an under age boy.

Because of these differences, there is a double standard. Most people understand this intuitively. Only feminists and others who like to pretend males and females are the same would argue otherwise.
