I was also a teenage boy once, and I began sexually fantasizing about attractive female teachers as early as age 13. When I was in high school, I developed a crush on one of my female teachers who was very attractive and who also had a temperament that was complimentary to mine. We got along very well and I joined the extracurricular activity that she was in charge of, probably in part due to her presence. I think it soon became obvious to her that I had a crush on her, and while she never came on to me, she did flirt on occasion. Her flirtations were always very subtle, such as touching my arm, squeezing my shoulder, or giving me a quick tickle when I said something smart. I suspect that she liked the attention that I gave her, hence the flirting, which I enjoyed and wanted more of. Naturally, as a teenage boy, I fantasized often about sex with her, and while nothing ever happened, I doubt that physical intimacy with her would have “screwed me up.” I would have been more worried about what it would have done to her marriage. See, men and women are just wired differently. If this woman had slept with me, I wouldn’t have expected her to leave her husband and run away with me, and I suspect that I would’ve been horrified if she had suggested such a thing. I didn’t want a wife. I wanted sex. It’s just the way males operate thanks to millions of years of evolution in a world where survival of the species is contingent on men spreading their “seed” early and often. So no, I see little harm to teenage boys who engage in consensual sex with older females, though I do question the sanity of any adult woman who is sexually attracted to an adolescent boy.
