Every other week, a story seems to crop up about sexual relations between high school teachers and students. When the teacher is male, and the student female or both are the same sex, it always receives universal condemnation. When it happens between female teacher and a male student, it often gets at least a tacit seal of approval. Let me share my story with the attic dwellers. When I was 15 and towards the end of my sophomore year in high school, I began an affair with a woman teacher who was well into her forties. At the time, it seemed the perfect setup for both of us. Her rich, much older diabetic husband could no longer "perform" and I was a convenient outlet for her urges. Being that she was a music teacher and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, much less "tickle the ivories", there was no chance of my performing in her class. With her, I stuck to playing the "slit trombone" behind closed doors. She lived one town over, and it was easy for me to get to her via bicycle or commuter railroad where she rented a motel room for the occasion. By the time I reached my junior year, I pretty much was a "latchkey" kid as both my parents went on frequent business trips, leaving me alone in the house with prepared food, as well as the keys to the car, once I had my license. It lasted as long as it did, because I didn't want to ruin what seemed to be a good thing, and I kept my mouth shut. Now come the negatives. Due to her I had no normal dating experience during high school. IHMO, trying to chat up and getting to second base with a girl my own age was like skiing the bunny slope after mastering the black diamond trail, or sailing a Sunfish after winning the America's Cup. I didn't even mind the Gay rumors that circulated about me because I showed no interest in the dating scene. Once I went off to college, and she went off to find my replacement, I felt the downside. Lacking any actual dating experience, I felt so socially awkward, that it was almost 2 years before I got up the courage to ask a classmate for a date. As for her, things turned out worse. Unlike me, her replacement suffered from "diarrhea of the mouth", resulting in her divorce and termination. In the end, I gave up much more than my virginity to her. Would have been nice to have enjoyed the simple pleasures of "sailing a Sunfish on Lake Winnebago

Interesting coming of age story. I guess I had that standard 2 years of awkwardness chatting up girls and making incremental "progress" during High School where it seems everyone else knows when you're losing your virginity before you do. I'm not so sure that you missed out on that much except you probably don't relate to that old joke.....What's Jewish Foreplay? Two hours of begging! Bada boom!
