    In dormitories they do put 2 kids in a room and the dormitories are separated by gender but it doesn’t stop teens and young adults from bonking the noodles

        I mean, they’ve spent the last 3+ years being horny all the time and now they’re away from their parents and unsupervised…

        Yeah, that’s the hard to believe part here. A professor having sex with a student is believable. A professor having their photo taken while they’re in bed with a student by that student’s roommate and while they’re in the university’s dorm? That’s a lot harder to believe.

            Or if you’re Jaromir Jagr:

            “I’m an unmarried athlete in my 40s, if you want to give the world proof that I’m still pulling hot 20-somethings, do it.”

            It’s not the posting of the image that’s unusual. It’s the professor getting themselves into a situation where the picture might be taken. Horniness can cloud the mind, but surely they’d still think of doing it in their office, or at a motel instead of a student’s dorm room, especially if that student has a roommate.

              Yeah, but depending on the college, as long as the student isn’t one of HIS students, it may be okay. Different colleges have different ethical standards, and while it’s still a dumb thing to do, it may not violate any university policies as long as he’s not actively teaching her.

                Really? I can’t think of any place where it would be allowed. Maybe a grad student with a prof from another faculty, but not an undergrad and any prof.

                  I mean, what exactly is wrong with it? Age gap aside, I really don’t see anything wrong with say a young faculty member getting with an undergrad. Imagibe a prof in their late twenties and an undergrad in their early twenties. As long as the student isn’t one of their current or likely future students, I see nothing morally wrong with it. Now if it’s a 50 year old prof with a 19 year old student, that’s a different matter. But the problem there is the age gap, not the prof/student status.

                    Kids just out of high school may legally be adults, but they’re not emotionally mature by any stretch. Their brains are still developing, and they’re not making very wise choices.

                    Professors are in a position of power over them. Even if it isn’t their professor, it may be someone who is a friend of their professor, works with them on a project, or serves with them on some committee. If a professor pressures a student into doing something sexual, can the student turn that professor down without ever worrying that it might affect his/her grades or graduation? If there’s a bad break-up, a professor could make all kinds of trouble for the student. A professor is in a position of relative power throughout the school, and a student is in a position of very little power. This is especially true if the professor has tenure and is very difficult to fire as a result.
