what the hell is “diagnosis of hypersexuality” and what is the standard for such a diagnosis?

ps: where, praytell, were all these “hypersexual” female teachers hiding when I was a student!????? Drats!

the poor student...

I’d hit it. Just wouldn’t tell anybody I hit it....

I am sure that 17 year child was ruined for life. Why I’ll bet he can’t even look himself in the mirror anymore. The horror...

Since when does the inability to resist criminal activity make one eligible for early release from prison?

Isn’t that the exact opposite of how it’s supposed to work?

[TennesseeProfessor]

If she can't control herself, isn't that an argument she should be locked up longer so she doesn't do it again?

Why are fat girls like mopeds?

Tough call on this one. I always give some leeway for mugshots, since it’s difficult to get in full makeup attire (although some manage to do it, somehow). Based on the face alone, I probably could find a reason to acquit - but the rest of her looks a bit heft, and that is enough for me to find guilt...but I don’t have a good full-up shot, so no call at this point.

“Back in the day”, we called them nymphomaniacs. Now they call them “hypersexual teachers”? That’s weird.

Sounds like an innovative justification for most rapists .... think it will fly?

Hypersex is as good as anything. She does have a warped drive.

I say lock that sow up, and spare her potential victims.

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Back when I was in school we would have loved to call them but we didn’t have their phone numbers.

Looks like she’s bat(bleep) insane. Those eyes.

Anyone can ride them.

They are both fun to ride until your friends find you on top of one.

Wonder if that judge would buy similar arguments for “uncontrollable” urges to rob banks or murder your next door neighbors?

[Vendome]

Dunno why?

[central_va]

They are both fun to ride until your friends catch you on top of one.

She can’t control her urge to buy crappy glasses either.
