No, this never happened to us back in the day...
Teacher facing jail over sex text to boy, 14
It’s been said time and time again that this kind of thing never happened when we were young. It is said by people 30 years old and up. Every comment on every message-board by people somewhat younger (early to mid 20s) that I have read, seems to indicate that this is a recent phenomena. That in the last 5 or so years, female teachers aged 25 and up have developed a hankering for young boys. An intense, unsatisfiable, manic lust, in fact. Are these kids hotter than we were when their age? More mature? Hell no. Not even close, so what’s the deal? I think it has to do with confidence. A lapse in parenting standards allowing young boys to approach teachers as equals, and to proposition them. I think that if my generation had had the balls, and the ignorance of consequences, to go hitting on teachers we would have gotten laid way more often. By teachers. These women are often at their sexual peaks, hormonal and disillusioned with life. They are in a job that makes them unhappy, and they are unable to do anything else. This kid comes along with a clean slate, a relatively small amount of emotional baggage, who is ready to be molded into whatever kind of man they want him to be. He also has a nearly non-stop erection and will lay pretty much any woman willing to open her legs for him.
There is also the power of precedent. Mary Kay Letourneau opened the door to a lot of previously forbidden sexual fantasies among these women, I am sure. Sure they condemned her in public, but the inner them salivated at the thought of having their very own youth to molest.
Teachers were never happy people, it’s a profession that is designed for disappointment, and these are the people who joined up with the idea of creating a set of brilliant, grateful young people. This almost never happens. You almost never turn lives around or have any significant impact. Taking a boy’s virginity is significant impact. Here they have a way to permanently etch themselves onto another life.
