    As a teacher (taught everything from K - college), I will say I have had some pretty hot students. And I will admit that the idea has crossed my mind. And I have flirted with a few a little - one was a former hs student who was then/now (at the time of flirting) 21 and one was a college student.

    I will also admit that they have been a fanasty or two on a lonely night.

    But, I would never actually go through with it.
    I am a teacher (I almost 28). I can say with absolute certainty, that I have NEVER EVER been attracted to a student. I think any teacher who has, must have serious mental and psychological problems. It is just plain WRONG to even think about a student in that way, let alone act on it. The students are still KIDS! They are children!!

    I do have to say though, that the way kids are growing up is very different from the way I grew up. I see 8th graders everyday, who dress provacatively, and hang all over eachother in the hallway. They use "grown" up language, and talk about things I never would have dreamed of talking about when i was that age. A lot of this may have to do with kids growing up way too fast, and emotionally unstable, SICK women.

    Here's an additional thought (besides they are screwed up, and the fact that it probably happened in the past too and we didn't know about it).

    Pheromones - I KNOW they exist and cause chemical changes in your brain and sex drive. Not only the studies out there; I've experienced it personally. Think about it, an adult in a classroom with 30 teenagers that excrete copious amounts of pheromones for 8 hours a day. It would be enough to drive just about any person that is within their sexual peak sex crazy. They then focus on a couple of guys that meet their definition of 'desireable' and give in to stupid temptations. I'd love to see a sexual study on the amount of (appropriate) sex younger teachers have outside classrooms. I bet they would tilt the tables.
    I actually do think this might be the case, although the actual effect pheromones have with humans is largely debatable. For all we know, humans might not detect them even though we do excrete them. It's nuts, but I feel like my younger teachers were getting theirs.

    The OPs question was geared toward women wondering what the attraction is. This thread is getting derailed with age of consent nonsense.

    I did try to answer:
    Fundamentally I don't think women are that different from men. I imagine the reasons would be similar to why men often chase after younger women: virility, the thrill of exposing someone who's inexperienced, taking advantage of a position of power when else in your life may not be, the perception of not having strings attached, and the thrill of taboo all probably play into it.

    I think the general consesus has been some combination of those things. Age of consent is applicable because the question of attraction gets complicated when there are severe legal consequences for your actions. That sort of thing usually brings the reasoning to something other than 'well he or she was really hot'.

    Low self esteem, makes them feel like they are still attractive, plus male teens can have the same suave characteristics that adult males have. I think age of consent is relevant to the discussion. When it comes down to it, age is just a number when you're dealing with people who are close to the legal age of adulthood.

    Oh and I'm sure there are more cases of male teachers going after female students, but they either don't succeed, or the media doesn't report it because its more expected.

    Maybe they are Male Catholic Priests in disguise. They say beware of wolves in sheep clothing. Or Priests clothing.

    First of all, I think we spend entirely too much time worrying about what consenting adults are doing in the privacy of their own homes. I'm 31 and I can't fathom being with a 17 year old, but a 17 year old is basically an adult as far as I'm concerned. It's not my business if they want to have sex with a 32 year old.

    That being said, certain environments are supposed to be safe places. There's a power dynamic in place in the classroom (which a lot of people find hot, but I digress). Parents don't want to worry about their kids getting boned by the teacher, regardless of gender. Schools are supposed to be a safe place for students to learn. If a therapist has sex with a client they lose their license. It doesn't matter how old the client is, therapy is supposed to be a safe place where clients don't have to worry about getting boned by their therapist.

    I don't think a person in their 30s having sex with a person in their late teens should be considered a sex offender. If they're a teacher, they probably should lose their job and perhaps find a different career, one that doesn't involved working with all those sexy, sexy teenagers.

    Teachers and students have been having relations for decades. I was hit on by male track coach when I was in high school (late '80's). The spanish teacher would give the guys on the football team a victory smashing or a better luck next week piece. This type of news ups ratings so its being reported more.

    I have to say that it actually happens with male teachers and female students more often, you just hear more about when its a female teacher because its more shocking..... I'm a teacher as well :) But I can promise that would NEVER happen lol!

    We had a teacher in my school who was caught just before starting an affair with a girl in my class - he was AWFUL though - ironically he was the Religious Education teacher - but he made us watch Chucky (the horror/evil doll movie) in lessons, talked about the third leg in his trousers and during a uniform inspection would check under the desk if you wore a skirt to check it was 'regulation length'. THink we must've been between 15-16 at the time.

    WRONG
