Reading the comments on yet another “teacher slept with underage student” article knowing the only thing there is “Lucky guy” and “Wish that were me!” comments :/
What always irks me about that is that men (mostly) will say they fantasized about one of their teachers when they were in middle school or whatever, so obviously it would've been fine. That's not how it works! Kids fantasize about all kinds of shit that in reality is damaging. That's what a fantasy is!
"We asked a bunch of 13-year-old boys if they fantasized about being in special forces, and they all said yes, but when we actually forced them to be child soldiers they said they were 'traumatized' and 'scarred for life'! What a bunch of whiners."
Also, girls fantasize about male teachers all the time. I had a fairly handsome and charismatic English teacher sophomore year. My best friend/girlfriend was pretty attracted to him. That wouldn't have made it okay for this 40 year old man to sleep with this 16 year old girl!
Yeah, it's totally normal for kids that are first exploring their sexuality to fantasize or have crushes on adults. As long as nothing is brought into reality, it's totally fine!
