I will never have kids so I will avoid that awkward moment. But I see no difference between my daughter getting banged by social studies teacher and stupid 18 year old. At least that guy is experienced and knows what he's doing, lol. Both of them don't give a fuck about her and her feelings and doing that for the fun of sex.
I had a GF that had 36 yo partner when she was 18. Smart guy, good job, he was so much in love that he was crushed... when she left him. Years later he was still into her, haha. Pretty sad story and yes, I know that from this guy not from her.
Age is only a number. And we're talking about 15 yo MALE fucking old woman. There's ZERO harm in that. Females can be passive during sex and not really want it. If guy is fucking some woman than he WANTS it.
As I said, it's different if you have kids, and you said that will not have kids. There is a difference feeling when you have kids, plus there is the ethical situation.
And there are plenty, and i mean plenty of HS girls who chase male teachers, especially if the teacher is young, single and handsome. A dude who goes that route is generally looked upon as a loser who can't get a woman his own age.
From my experience, and many others on this board 36 yr old dude is with a 18 yr old chick for more reasons than her being young... It could run the gammit from him being immature, controlling, desperate,etc. An 18 yr old is far more easy to impress than a woman his own age. ....and as you said so much in love that he was crushed...crushed that a 18 yr old left him. But, it's legal...
You don't get what this really is about--it's about control. She has the power. I don't know about this situation, but if you look at many of these teacher situations, a lot has to do with the fact that she is in control. Some of the dudes are dorks or not popular. In other situations, the women view the boys/kids as their peers...something that is taught with Baby Boomer parenting.
If you have ever been a teacher, or have parents who have been teachers, then the expereince is different.
And the number one reason why this gets out, is because the 15 yr old is too immature, read that word again, immature...a teen will always tell soembody, and can't keep his mouth shut.
