Terence Kealey, vice-chancellor at Buckingham University, compared university classrooms to Stringfellows suggesting that tutors should “admire daily” the curves of female students but always maintain a policy of “look but don't touch”.
We were left wondering, “When I was a student, would I have considered a relationship with a tutor?” I went to the LSE students' union, to find out just how many students would.
Yes
David, 23, Economics student
I wouldn't have a relationship as such but maybe a “moment”. She might be a bit more experienced and know a few more positions.
Yes
Melanie, 21, Economics student
I think it's kind of morally wrong but if they were hot, then maybe.
Yes
Mike, 27, Economics student
If I had a female tutor, I'd probably like to redress that imbalance of power by having sex with her.
Yes
Adriana, 22, Development student
Of course. Obviously, because they'd give you a first. I don't think it would matter if they were hot or not as long as you got the grades.
No
Maria, 19, Philosophy and economics student
I don't think I'd do it. There are too many issues of respect and authority.
Yes
Dan, 20, Law student
Definitely. It's something I've always wanted to do. The power thing is really exciting.
Yes
Katherine, 25, Accountant
I did have sex with a tutor while I was still at university. He was really hot. It was great.

NO problem with VC's comment, as long as female tutors can also daily admire the broad shoulders & taut backsides of male students....
And yes, I did have an affair with a male lecturer, in my first year at uni (30 years ago now). And no, I don't regret it..it was fun & didn't last long..

Peace Maker, oh so true, I couldn't have put it better myself. Glad to see there is someone else out there who isn't self posessed, money or sex mad so on and so forth....You will surely take a battering for having given such a frank snippet of 21st century Britain.

...Yes, if she was hot and sexy then i will have definatly sex with her. Thats a dream of mine all the time and i cant wait to meet some one!

not normally like the undersexed working classes to get all jealous now. maybe the water in battersea is going a bit off.

That's the professional classes there for you in the survey results. The only one to say no is doing half a degree in a subject that isn't obsessed with money.
