Life on Florida’s West Coast

I Think Teenaged Boys Are Icky

I was having lunch with a friend of mine this week and the topic of conversation was teenaged boys. More specifically, it was the fact that there are SO many stories here in Florida about female school teachers having sex with teenaged boys.

We found it interesting, because we are both certified to teach and looking for job for the upcoming school year.

When I was a teenaged girl, I thought teenaged boys were amazing. I found them funny, attractive, and ultimately desirable. Well, not all of them, but some of them certainly.

I am no longer a teenager. I now look at men my own age and fine them desirable. Again, not all of them. :) In fact, only a select few. Nonetheless, those I do find attractive are always close to my own age.

Now that I am an adult, I look at teenaged boys as children. I see their awkward attempts to fit in by using excessive swearing and odd swaggers. I smell that they need to learn that bathing daily is a good thing and that yes, you can indeed wear too much Polo cologne. I think they are brash and immature and, well… they are boys. They are just fine when it comes to interacting with them as a teacher or a mentor, but I absolutely do not find them sexually alluring. The idea of having sex with a teenager turns my stomach.

And, in the midst of what seems like a constant barrage of new items about grown women having sex with young male students, I see that former Davidsen Middle School teacher Stephanie Ragusa has been arrested AGAIN in Hillsborough County. Why? Yet another r15-year-old boy has come forward and said he had sex with her more than 20 times.

She has been charged with lewd or lascivious battery and 2 counts sex with a minor.

Ragusa was already arrested last month on five counts of lewd and lascivious battery in connection with another 15-year-old student.

I have to ask: what in the world is the attraction? Is it power? I thought that was more of a man’s issue. I wish I could offer more conjectures, but my mind is absolutely shut down on this topic. I cannot fathom why an adult women would do something like that.

A note on my title. I do not think teenaged boys are icky across the board. I just think the idea of having sex with them is icky, as well I should considering my age.
