I agree there should be no age of consent. My experiences as a preteen didn't destroy my life although I know my views are extreme.
Most of all I wish sex between female students and male teachers was more acceptable. I knew girls in jr high who loved the idea of sleeping with a man in his twenties, thirties or even older. A few pursued those desires while underage.
I tend to agree. The quality of the sex/connection/experience depends more on the chemistry than the age of the people involved. Whether the same age or an age gap, the quality can be bad, ho hum or good!!
On some levels, and in regards to some elements, I agree with you all. And honestly, there are several teachers across my educational life that I wish I could have bedded, and I would have done so with maturity and appreciation that would have exceeded my age at those points.
That said, I think that people like us are the exceptions that prove the rule of teachers and students not being the best, or even a good, idea for pairing. Teenagers are fickle, impulsive, vengeful, and often inconsiderate people (some adults are, too, but I digress). Now, throw in sex and all of its' volitality and unpredictability.
Yeah. Plus, in my case, intelligence and maturity are big turn-ons. So, frankly, anyone who still thinks they have a chance at a dream life with Justin Bieber or Taylor Lautner...is someone to back away from slow, in my book. Never taking your eyes off of them...
But anyway. Aside from that, there's the whole thing about the position being one of authority, and with that comes the possibility for abuse from both ends. The student decides, if he/she finds the relationship unsatisfactory, to blackmail the teacher into a more improved situation. The teacher decides to use their abilities to harass or stalk the student. So on and so forth.
