You may be surprised to know that many women and some boys are deeply offended when a teacher denies their advances. Having been married to a professor, I'm not surprised! At one college where my husband taught, the girls had even made a bet on the size of his...you know... It was before my time, so I don't know whether anyone had the opportunity to win the bet. <g> (He said no, at any rate.) Any male professor, however unprepossessing, is a sex symbol. He gets to stand up, after all, while all the other males have to stay seated. He can make them, or break them. He gets to pee on them, as it were: I Am The Big Dog! And the girls swoon.... Some guys revel in this, and avail themselves freely of the many opportunities offered them. Others are embarrassed by it, and often make a point of leaving their doors wide open during conferences with individual students, especially with those who try to use such conferences to initiate...er...intimate relations. Another good reason for leaving the door open is that many a spurned student has been known to cry "sexual harassment," or even "rape" to avenge the rejection... Anyone who has been inside academe for any length of time knows this is true. I can also testify that it doesn't work that way where female professors are concerned. They are more likely to become loved/hated mother figures, rather than sex symbols... Joan

I've been to a couple of Greek restaurants that featured belly dancers myself, actually. The belly dancers' breasts in these establishments weren't 'bare,' though the bras that covered them were low cut and revealing. I assumed when you wrote that the dancers had thrust their bare breasts "in [your] mouth," you had meant to imply nipple involvement. But if, as you say in your clarification, it "wasn't the whole breast," I guess we're talking nuzzling of the upper breast, and not really about a breast "in" the mouth, in the usual, nipple-involved, sense. (Now let me see... will you now say, No, this was a topless belly dancer, and the only reason her "whole breast" wasn't in your mouth was not for want of her trying, but because the effort was hampered by the breast's sensational proportions?) You gave the story of the belly dancer's putting her breast in your mouth as the first example of events that took place at "live sex shows," and it is true that the two Greek restaurants of my acquaintance at which belly dancers performed did not bill the acts as "live sex shows," pelvic gyrations notwithstanding. So I do remain surprised that the students, (including a female student,) attended a live sex show with their professor. In many colleges, I feel certain, this would, in 1999, even, be grounds for dismissal of even a professor with tenure. Don't be annoyed at my questions, please. I am interested in your writing, and for this reason have a drive to figure out where the autobiography ends and the short story begins. Or, put another way, what passages, if scrutinized, will evoke the dimmer switch! If you ask me not to look so closely, I'll comply, though....
