33. if your point is that some people can survive statutory rape just fine,
then i agree. and that statement is true for some girls as well as boys.
on the other hand, some people can survive getting mugged and think it's no big deal, whereas other are psychologically scarred for life.

you probably THINK that the boy was lucky because you perhaps are imagining a chance to "score" with a good looking teacher or woman from your own childhood. you might think differently about it if the advances weren't from your favorite teacher, or if you already had an age-appropriate girlfriend at the time, or if your parents had instilled in you some fear of stds/pregnancy, or if you felt that your grades would be at risk if you said no, or if you thought that your peers might retaliate, or if you thought that your parents would disown you if they found out, etc., etc., etc.

when guys fantasize about such things, they focus on the sex an ignore the consequences.

in any event, these are all still crimes, and they're crimes for good reason, and should be prosecuted as such.
