But lets be real here. I dunno about you, but when I was 16 there was a SMOKIN' hot girls gym teacher that all the guys would have given a limb to take a poke at. I know that at 16 *I* certainly wouldn't have been done any harm. Shit, it would have made me a goddamn celebrity.

Supposedly it's different the other way around because young women are supposed to be virginal and naive and wouldn't want to do the same things a 16 year young man would (ie. get laid by an attractive older person as a trophy or just cuz she's horny). The only way it could happen is if she was enticed or coerced or 'svengali'd into it. Again, going back to when I was sixteen, I'd overhear very graphic details of what some of the girls wanted to do with one particular english teacher. Seems pretty unlikely that any of THEM would have been exploited in any way except willingly, either.

Not that I'm saying it's this way everywhere, just extrapolating from my personal experience.
