It is a breach of trust and it is wrong. Again, 60 year olds who cannot find sex with an adult need to get some counseling. Any teacher who sleeps with their students is disgusting.

This discussion is starting to remind of that scene in Harold and Maude where a clergyman is trying to counsel Harold as to why it is bad to marry a woman old enough to be his grandmother. He went into details, including wrinkles, sagging breasts, and as he kept going the minister was obviously getting nauseated.

Now, here's a 60 year old female who gets laid by a 17 year old. Why should she bother to look for someone older when she has a 17 year old ready to service her???? At least he didn't need Viagra

As for teacher/student. I'm going to go assymetrical. If it were an older male teacher and a 17 year old female student I'd say, yes, it's wrong. But since the woman teacher was older than the male student I'd say there's no problem.

Standing by

The teacher student bit is the only part I have a problem with, as far as the age gap goes, well it's a bit wierd but who are we to say what's right or wrong in this? I agree with you that both parties gained, but I'm not comfortable with the woman being a the 17 yo's teacher.

In other cultures there is no problem with it. Sexual hangups in this country are amusing, to say the least.
