This kid wins a million everythings

Ok so, last sentence here is bull, sorry to all of the "equality is everything" people out there but there's a huge difference between a 16 year old boy getting lucky with his 2 female teachers and a 16 year old girl getting Eiffel towered by a couple of male teachers. That may be a societal taboo but that doesn't make it any less true.

This kid has THE story for the rest of his life. Pimp to the max.

The teachers however should know better.

Why is it again that a 16 year old boy gets 'street cred for life' for having sex with two older women, but a 16 year old girl doesn't?

Do adult women really find teenage boys that sexy? I know it's a common enough trope for adult men to find a sixteen year old girl sexy but does it commonly work the other way?

I'm not speaking of acting on those thoughts, mind you. Just their dirty, dirty existence. Really, I'm just wondering what's going on in a 34 year old woman's belfry to decide that she needs to be knocking boots with a 24 year old instructor and a 16 year old kid.

Funny I saw something for that the other day. SpoilerI tried to find it again, but typing those kinds of words in a search engine isn't turning out good. I mean it's great the pictures I'm getting back and all but this is neither the time nor the place... People were asked what their age was, and what age they found most attractive. The line for women more or less followed their age +/- a few years, while for men it stayed put at about 22ish their whole life.

SpoilerCan an answer be more anecdotal than that? Maybe I should have said my cousin's sister saw something...

I think young mens bodies are more attractive than old man bodies. In fact I really dig young men's bodies. They're so full of possibilities. But that doesn't translate into sexuality. The turn on, for me anyways, isn't really age or body shape related.

I'm old though. It doesn't matter at all anymore. [:wrinkledsmileyfrown:]

This is unusual for me to say lately, but I agree with Elinda.

Those women need to go to jail. If they weren't teachers and 16 was the legal age in his state, then whatever. But they are teachers and they need to be fired from teaching and put on the registry.

Oh you...

The fact that the kid was bragging about it (and that's how folks found out) doesn't seem like he minded all that much.

As for being attracted to younger guys.... not really. I once saw a young guy crossing the street and thought, "heh, that used to be my type" with emphasis on the "used to" since it's not any more and he looked like a baby to my mid thirties self today. Then I realized that this wasn't the high schoolers crossing, but the middle schoolers, and I felt quite creepy at the time. (Poor guy must have been held back a year or three at some point.)

Men don't hit their "prime" to me til they're well into the third decade. Which goes about with the "your age plus or minus a couple of years" from a few posts up.

I bet he never shuts up about it though. You'll see him in the nursing home one day, "did I ever tell you about the time..."

That was my thought. Girls get idolized for "innocence" (even as people want to dork them) which gets translated into youth and budding beauty and all that. Boys seem to adhere to a different standard but then I'd be a terrible judge of what age males are at their prime sexiness. I'm hoping early-mid 40's.

I'm certain that's correct.

Tirith kind of hit the mark. There IS a double standard. I alluded to that in the OP.

The teachers should be fired, and charged because we don't make laws to adhere to societal double standards.

BUT

Given the double standard exists and will continue to exist for the foreseeable future this kid wins at life. That's a seriously huge accomplishment in the eyes of his 16 year old peers and that "cool kid in school" stigma (apparently my word of the day) will follow him for years to come.

It may not be right, but it's reality.

You are not allowed to blame the victim. Never the victim's fault.

You are allowed to high-five him though.
