Teacher/student relations

First, my comment was directed to the person replying to your own posting, attempting to transform your personal decision and your very particular institutional context into a universal normative maxim.

Second, you situation was a radically different context than the majority of people on here who are teachers. Those in secondary/high schools compared to those of us in colleges and universities are also quite different. the military has its own modes of training and indoctrinating cadets into being working parts of the institution - nothing even comparable to the university context.

There are a lot of situations where relationships between superiors and subordinates even I would consider to be highly unethical - but there are many where the flirtatious play, if not outright sexual relationship, between different people can be, and should be, more open. Yes, there are possibilities for exploitation - but exploitation is possible in any and all relationships, regardless of where they transpire. Exploitation is wrong, open sex between consenting adults shouldn't be an issue, for anyone...

Once on college. Yes, it was for grades.

...and there you go.

And we know the relationships between authority figures and subordinates are fully consenting and non-exploitive on both sides how? How do others in the organization know that?

If a boss starts "flirting" and making sexual advances towards a subordinate, should the subordinate assume that there's no exploitation involved and that there will be no consequences for them whether they accede to the approach or not?

If the boss is having a sexual relationship with a subordinate, and the subordinate gets a promotion, or some other benefit, should everyone else in the organization assume that it unrelated to their relationship? On the flip side, should the relationship preclude the subordinate getting a promotion because of the possibility of favoritism?

In theory what you say is true. In the real world it really is far, far messier.
 
and no other person in any other context has ever exchanged sex for some kind of favor??? :rolleyes:

of course they have.

...oh, i see, sarcasm. got it. look, i'm entitled to an opinion, as are you. i happen to think you're in the wrong. no big deal because you think i am. so, as far as i'm concerned, this discussion is over.

I fully agree. Though am always baffled by people on Lit who come on to threads they themselves have no interest in to judge and moralize others. To each their own...
 
My high school choir teacher, who’d be in his late 40s, attends the same swinger’s club my husband and I do. I would not be opposed to hooking up with him.

What a small world! Does he recognize you as a former student?

Has anyone yet identified swingers clubs as "essential businesses"??? :rolleyes:

It was allowed to reopen last week. Yes, he knows me because I had his daughter in school.
No, I never had any fantasies of being with a student. Grosses me out to the point where if a man is even a year younger than me I won’t look at him.
 
Have any teachers on here ever slept with one of their former students or have you ever had sex with a former teacher? I'm looking for real life stories, not fantasies. Also, legal age, preferably with enough time passing that there was no "grooming"... strictly 2 consenting adults. I have never crossed this line nor did I ever think I'd be turned on by it. But lately, I find myself fantasizing that one of my former high school students returns, years after graduating and starts coming on to me. I can't believe how wet it makes me and how turned on I am by the fantasy. I know this is probably a horrible idea... so tell me your experience and tell me whether it was as hot as the fantasy.

I'n the words of the immortal Sterling Archer... "Danger Zone...!"
 
I had this happen before. I grew up in a small town in Texas and in high school had a crush on my theater arts teacher. I was actually a lousy student in the class and hated the whole drama class! I forgot about her and in my mid 20s I was playing in a rock band out of Austin. Turns out this teacher was a musician and we had a couple of gigs together. We connected a few times for some hot experiences before shows and I would go over to do laundry when washer and dryer weren’t working... we had a few really good nights!
 
I was pretty sure it was a much better fantasy than anything else. Thanks for those who messaged me their experience or responded here. I will stick with my parent teacher conference fantasies for my alone-time inspiration.

The closest that I ever came was a one night stand with my daughter's third grade teacher. She was with some girlfriends at the same outside bar where my buddies and I were. We started dancing and flirting and I soon dragged her back to my place for a fun night!
 
Not my story but in college we did have an English professor that regularly dated students. It was one of those things that everyone kind of talked about on campus.
 
senior cruise

We took a senior cruise after graduation from high school and a guy I know hooked up with one of the chaperones. She was a popular English teacher and were not really surprised. She was older and married which at the time seems crazy but now, years later, I envy her. Totally legit, international waters and he was 18 so...

Food for thought.
 
My wife had an affair with one of her professors. It was several years after taking his class and she was in her 40’s at the time so I guess would not really count in this thread.
 
As a teacher I can tell you only about a couple of wild dreams I had about female students but you don't dare to do anything of that sort in real life. There are colleagues who ended up in court for these things so it quickly ruins your ENTIRE life.

With former students, things would be different. I know of some who married their teacher, but that might be less hot 😃.

I don't have any kids but would love to hear more, maybe even role play one...
