Is teen sex the new cigarette?

The Guys have been mostly silent about female teachers having sex with their students, save for the occasional punchline. Really, there's not much more to say about sexual abuse save that it's illegal.

... Or is there?

The New York Times article quotes Richard Gartner, "a New York psychologist and author of 'Beyond Betrayal: Taking Charge of Your Life After Boyhood Sexual Abuse'":

    Recognition of the damage doesn't usually occur until the man is in his 30s, 40s or later, he said. That damage varies widely, depending on the victim's age, the abuse itself, the sexual orientation of the boy and of the abuser, Gartner said. Victims often report addictive behavior and compulsive disorders, from gambling to sex to substance abuse, he said [emphasis ours].
All respect to the victims and the good doctor, but aren't those symptoms of any male who may or may not have sex at any age?
