Typical middle-class, middle-aged male fantasies about a stereotypically-goodlooking female teacher

It's the principle, gents. Were she fugly, or the genders reversed, you'd likely be decrying the situation.

All I can think about is how someone would feel if it were their underage SON who had been taken advantage of by someone in a position of authority...or what if their potentially gay son had engaged in this activity with a male teacher...

You are absolutely correct, of course.

One word - religion - and all it has wrought.

The argument being that religion created the picture of the perfect 'innocent' woman, and the corruptable man? Im not sure that wholey coevers it. Stu and Drach are pretty liberal guys, who wouldn't make a concious distinction between male/female but they both made jokes about this as if it was somehow more 'acceptable'. Im not accusing them of anything, but they both hold male and female equal and yet continued this difference of perception.

This thread always reminds me of the old Berlin song from the 80's...

Sex...
(I'm a man)
I'm a goddess
(I'm a man)
I'm a blue movie
(I'm a man)
I'm a dream divine
And we make love together..

I miss that band!
