I'm not mocking her for wanting a fling with her much older professor. I'm mocking her for the snotty, entitled, disingenuously ironic way she's talking about it.

She's a grad student. We call that "professional training."

Observe.

High school: OMG! He's so hawt!

Undergrad: OMG!!!! He's soooooo hawt!!!!!1!!

Grad student: I will wholly consume him to satisfy my sexual self. I will feed him to my yawping, yawning chasm of fiery devouring, in whose burning wetness I will both find and lose myself, consumed and consummated, apostasy and apotheosis. Later, we will eat cheese sandwiches.

See?

I guess that's not until postdoc level.

My boyfriend (kinda, sorta) is a lawyer.
He delivers.

Doesn't "lawyer" mean far too rapid short-lived servicing with a needle instrument, followed by a brisk, disrespectful 30 minute scrub shower, while the partner fumes from the tangled sheets?

And then there's

Assistant professor: Want to have sex?
Spousal hire:  Yeah, okay.  How's tomorrow around 8 for you?  
Assistant professor: Damn, that proposal is due on Friday.  How about next week?  Can you check your calendar?


Next Week.

Assistant professor in bed with spousal hire: It's a little warm in here, don't you think?
Spousal hire:  <snore>

This thread is still alive?  I'm with OFP and TZ:  we need Happy back.  Now that was interesting.

I think this thread is beyond a musical interlude.

Yeah, it certainly is far-fetched to believe googling 'professor/student sexual relationship' could inevitably lead one *here*.

People are doubting that you got here via Google because Googling that particular phrase doesn't lead you here. At least it doesn't for me. Not in the first 30 pages of search results, anyway.

Bingo.

How sad does your life have to be before you troll an academic forum with this stuff?  Maybe xanola will return and enlighten us.
