Mrs. intuition897 is thinking of robbing the cradle

[intuition897 2,179]

*Sigh* What is it with me?? What is it about impossible situations that gets my blood so hot?

 

So I'm in a new academic department at the local university. I'm in an administrative role, and as such, have access to student records and whatnot. This means students are WAAAAY the fuck off limits.

 

So there's this one guy.... He's mature, intelligent, classy as hell, a real renaissance man if ever I met one. He is SMOKING hot (think Disney's Aladdin-meets-the-NFL), exactly my type, and his conversations have gotten slightly more flirty. And of course...he's a student. I wanted to tell him, sweetheart, I really appreciate the sentiment, but if you're going to flatter a lady "of a certain age", you need to be realistic in the age you pretend to believe she is. NO one is ever going to mistake me for being in my 30's, m-kay? I mean, the next time I get carded, it's going to be for my fucking seniors discount. But I certainly appreciated the flattery.

 

I was talking about introducing him to my daughter. He asked how old she was. I said she's 24. 24?? He looked confused, and asked me, aren't I in my 30's? I'm like, nnnno. Not remotely. How old was he? I asked (thinking he was probably 25-27, somewhere in there). Turns out he's 21. FML.

 

I told Mr. intuition897 about the encounter. He laughed. Asked me if I was thinking of knitting the lad a sweater? Fuck you, Mr. intuition897. Fuck you very much. Very funny.

 

So no actual adventures are forthcoming here, folks. But I may occasionally regale you with my assorted near-miss encounters and the daydreams they spark. Ugh! When the fuck does he graduate!!??

[adamgunn 1,460]

Didn't The Graduate end badly?

[intuition897 2,179]

I have no idea, never saw it!

[lovefest04 699]

You could change his grades and flunk him out! That might create other problems, but it's an option.

[GoldCoCouple 4,066]

We all seem to want what we can't have...it makes it even more taboo. Now move along, nothing to see here.

[Alura 2,774]

The Graduate ended poorly for Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson). Collapsed in a corner, looking oddly like a nun, one easily foresaw bad things in her future.

 

For Dustin Hoffman (Ben) and his love-interest Katherine Ross (Elaine, still in her wedding dress), having just used a cross to barricade the guests inside the church while they fled an ill-advised wedding (hers), seated in the back of a bus, smiling, perhaps on the verge of laughing out loud, movie goers saw hope for a couple who found each other and communicated. My biggest concern for the lovers was what they had left the Alfa behind.

 

The Graduate does not, however, bode well for Mrs. Intuition's current situation.

[intuition897 2,179]

Oh dear. Well it's all good because, like I said, we're just having fun with the fantasy. Some lines are easy enough to not cross. I've gotten very accustomed to being able to pay my bills on time, and I don't plan on changing this habit anytime soon.

[ViSexual 1,008]

I love the way you write!!! I found myself actually, LOLing.

 

This 21 Y/0 student is a potential for pure pleasure for you and also pure drama! But then, you know that. Tell him to check back when he graduates. I have a dear friend, who was a teacher and administrator with my wife before they retired. She told us of a similar situation she had. Only this was an underage high school student. He was always coming on to her and she would tell him to come back when he graduated and was over 18.

 

Well, then she went on to say he did. I could tell by her smile that it was a pleasant surprise. And, knowing her, the young man got an excellent education after he graduated.

[EastInWest 1,524]

If it makes you feel any better, I had two of my professors in college. One was just a few years older and we didn't make it out of the semester before I started earning my A-. The other, we didn't connect until I was out of her class, but she was a good twenty-five years older and neither of us figured it out until I'd already cum inside her a couple of times and found out the picture of her sister was actually a picture of her daughter. Whoops.

 

Neither were probably good ideas on their part, but both were a hell of a lot of fun for me. Enjoy the fantasy.

[adamgunn 1,460]

Alura, watch the end The Graduate over again.

 

Elaine is at the altar, Ben's in the choir loft, she runs out, he threatens people with the crucifix, they hop on a passing bus. Yeah, all this is remembered.

 

But then . . . We look to the rear seat of the bus where Elaine and Ben are sitting. They look out that back window, Ben has this this huge smile on his face, Elaine's enjoying his mirth. Then, right at the end, Ben takes a huge sigh, they both become serious, considering what is it they've done, The Sounds Of Silence plays. Ben looks straight forward with a serious mien, Elaine looks to him for support, gets none. The camera shifts, we see the bus pull away into the distance, the future, fade to credits.

 

I interpret that as "What did we do? What now?" and there's no resolution. A great scene.

 

And BTW, the movie is streaming on Netflix as we speak.

[intuition897 2,179]

Well I dont know about all that. I certainly don't have any desire to ride off into the sunset with him. I already WENT through my 20s and I just dont have it in me to go through it again with anyone else. You've got to be kidding.

 

Nope. Nnnnope. I'll stick with a bit of flirtation and daydreaming, tyvm.

[adamgunn 1,460]

>>I watched The Graduate with my brother recently. He's 20 and had never seen it. At the end, the scene as you described, as the credits roll he says," It's good that she didn't get married, but I give them two weeks before they run screaming away from each other."

 

Ah, turns out they did . . . The author of The Graduate, Charles Webb, wrote a sequel, "Home School," that was published in 2008 - forty years after the original. It's twelve years in the future of The Graduate, Ben and Elaine are living in the Hudson Valley trying to home school their two sons. Mrs. Robinson makes a pain of herself.

 

I won't say more because of spoilers. But I will tell you it's a god-awful book, tedious with a bad ending. Obviously Webb was tired of being asked, "So whatever happened to Ben & Elaine." Don't read it.

[Wornsilver 219]

Adamgunn, thanks for the heads up. I have waded through enough bad books lately...ones that SHOULD HAVE BEEN good. Intuition, you know I have always admired your writing. I used to teach writing (I know, you'd never tell) and am convinced that bad writing is the result of muddled thinking. Your insights are sound.

 

Alura, I'm with you, the future for Ben and Elaine was much like it was for the rest of us, a mystery to be unraveled by the two of us doing the best we could. Kudos to those of you who got through all those years without problems.

 

Now, Intuition897, listen very carefully: the model here should not be Mrs. Robinson, nor the typical view of the pathetic cougar. I would have benefited so much from a "tutor" when I was 18-25 who could have taught me a few things about women and men. Instead, I blundered my way and frankly didn't wring as much fun and pleasure out of life as it probably had to offer. Don't jeopardize your paycheck, but an attractive, squared-away woman such as yourself could do wonderful things that would benefit a young man well into later life.

Maybe this young guy has a female friend he could bring along.....would Mr. intuition897 be interested in a 20's female sex partner?

[intuition897 2,179]

Sadly, he's not. Generally speaking. I never fancied myself a cougar either, but this guy's maturity belies his years. He really is delightful to talk to. And my God, is he pretty. Jesus H. Christ. He's a good Muslim boy, though, so I don't know how into swinging he'd be. He seems to be a bit of a retrosexual.

[intuition897 2,179]

Intuition, you know I have always admired your writing. I used to teach writing (I know, you'd never tell) and am convinced that bad writing is the result of muddled thinking. Your insights are sound.

That is sincerely appreciated!

Honestly? I wouldn't feel uncomfortable with the idea of breaking the rules with him. He seems to have his shit together, and he's anything but vindictive or dramatic. I'm highly UNLIKELY to actually do anything there. Y'all will be the first to know, however.

 

Yes, that's sort of the dynamic I would see happening. A young friend who could benefit from some sage life advice and a rowdy fucking. I would certainly be doing another woman a favour by offering him the opportunity to...refine his technique.

 

However, Mr. intuition897 and I have never gone the hot wife route before. I don't think it's really Mr. intuition's thing. So if for no other reason than that, it's a no go.

[Numex 2,419]

Seems to me like this would be his loss, your loss, and your husband's and our loss from getting to hear hot stories perspective. If it were my wife, I'd say go for it. Besides consenting adults, you have no power over him like a prof would. And females get a pass in these situations.

Actually I'd get fired in a hot minute, and probably blacklisted from getting another job at the university. Although I'm not a prof, I do have access to student records. It's considered...unseemly...to fraternize over much with students.

[Wornsilver 219]

I'm selfish. And a voyeur. Bad combo, I know, but for those reasons I hope you proceed to create some terrific stories. BUT DON'T JEOPARDIZE YOUR PAYCHECK. You know, "...company ink" etc. There are lots of other young men out there, and Mr. Intuition may be a closet fan of the Hot Wife?? Ya never know until you ask.

[Numex 2,419]

Could you set something up for after graduation?

[Ozzie+Harriet 84]

Based upon the universities I've been at and the way things worked at those, students were only off limits if the person dating them had some sort of position of authority over them (but it sounds like you ought to check IDs). Adult students are generally considered adults, especially graduate students.

[Bruce603 15]

My wife worked in the AV department at a community college. She had several opportunities with student assistants as well as other staff. She was late 20's at the time and enjoyed the young, innocent freshmen the most although there were a couple professors she enjoyed in some of the more private area's of campus.

[couplers 4,646]

Since my sexlife began in my mid/late teens, I've been attracted to men from midtwenties to early forties. As I have gotten older, now past 30, I find that my tastes haven't changed. What does that mean for when I get old, like 50?!?!

He's only in his 3rd year of undergrad. And regardless of whether or not he's a consenting adult, the fact that it creates a conflict of interest, or a potential vulnerability to abuse of authority, does not do my career any favours. There are unwritten rules. It's considered to be very unprofessional, unethical, and - considering I'm married - immoral.

LOL, EVERY corner of our department is under video surveillance! I tell you what, there'll be no hanky panky going on on campus. Like, EVER! Nope, if Mr. intuition and I decide to do anything about this, it'll be as separate from my work life as though it was happening on another planet.

Golly. Back in my community college days, even the adjuncts had private offices to get banged out in.

 

Maybe they didn't have health insurance, but they had doors that locked.

I've know folks who were caught at work. Hotel rooms just aren't that expensive.

[EastInWest 1,524]

In fairness, if you're an adjunct, everything is expensive, but yes. I'm aware that the union contract at our local school has an entire section banning the use of surveillance devices in faculty offices outside of legitimate law enforcement purposes, after a scandal where a professor tried to illicitly record an adjunct and induce him to brag about something happening in his office. I don't know what happened, exactly, but that adjunct lawyered up and was going to take everybody involved to the cleaners. Was slid directly into tenure and never bothered about anything again.

 

The one I did in her office, we had agreed to wait until the end of the semester. We didn't...quite...make it...through the final paper review. We were more responsible after that, though, and used our apartments.

 

The other one, we used to go two different directions after meetings, her to her car and me to the coffee shop across the street, then she'd circle back and pick me up behind it so we could get a drink. We were well clear of the faculty and student conduct handbooks, but didn't want the gossip, and admittedly, I wasn't particularly interested in her and the first one finding out about each other, either.
