Would you have a relationship with a tutor?

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.
