Hey, Faggot:

To make a long story short, school ended for the summer; I thought about her constantly, sent her postcards, and dreaded the day I was to return for work. For an unrelated reason, I was fired right before school started. I looked her up where she works, stopped by, got her number, called a few times, and finally asked her out. She said she couldn’t, as her parents were very strict and traditional (immigrants) and didn’t let her go out at all. That was October. This girl just turned 18 last week (a Capricorn to boot!). So, what’s preventing me from looking her up and trying again? Am I pathetic? Am I a pervert for having a crush on one of my former students? Why don’t they talk about this in teacher training? And most importantly, is there some sort of AA-type club or something for teachers who have crushes on their students? This seems to happen a lot, and I think it’s time this problem was brought out in public for discussion.
Hey, DUMN:
I’m a 35-year-old breeder male with at least three problems. First, during any kind of sexual experience, a wide range of triggering events can cause me to lose interest in sex, dissociate, become temporarily dysfunctional, or even become antagonistic toward my partner. These triggering events include sounds, smells, thoughts, or even conversation. Second, if I can achieve orgasm, I am forced to endure waves of my own self-hatred and guilt, and oftentimes a barely contained hatred for my partner. Third, I am unable to sustain “normal” relationships, and even “alternative” situations lose their appeal and become loathsome after a short period of time. The only fantasy that really gets me off is the idea of beating the shit out of a woman, and I don’t want to go there for obvious reasons. I avoid the playful “slap and tickle” idea because I’m afraid of where that would lead.
office, and this week you’re jerking off in your office. Questions do seem to come in spurts, so I guess I should brace myself for a few more work ‘n’ jerks before the month is out.
