If a teenager (10-17) decides to get off from a video, which contains people dressed as "sexy" teachers, is that grooming?

So comment debate on YouTube, there's this female youtuber who has many shorts where people dress up saying this is what I'd wear as a teacher. Next is five outfits Monday to Friday, some of these are genuine others are jokes. The jokes are dressed quite scantily males are topless or wearing shorts, females dressed in bras and a jacket or booty shorts, fishnets, corset tops. On those videos she states definitely not: shoulders needs to be covered, midriff is showing, skirt needs to be knee height, not professional, probably not the holes in jeans, needs to be wearing a top. Other times she'll laugh in disbelief and shock at the silliness of clothing.


But anyway I stated I've just watched 20/30 shorts and have not seen one instant where she says these outfits are good to wear to school, and how she is sexualising them, and grooming young boys.

Where a reply states youtuber saying this is not good for school, that it is grooming, as it makes young boys think of youtuber in question, in the same clothes as these scantily clad videos she's split-screening her shorts on. And thus intentionally grooming thousands of boys at once.

Yes that is grooming

No that is not grooming

Other, discuss in comments

I think grooming would be more like trying to get people to do something unnatural like questioning their gender or joining a cult.

But young boys are already attracted to females and interested in sexuality. When I was a young adolescent, I had access to Playboy magazine. I don't think Playboy and girly magazines were grooming. They were just appealing to a market/an interest that already existed. It familiarized me with the female form.

And at least that stuff encourages healthy heterosexuality. Beyond that, I don't know if the YouTuber is planting any kind of perversions in the kid's heads. If so, then that would be sick. But simply playing to their sexual fantasies doesn't sound too bad. Fantasies aren't unhealthy unless they become obsessions or lead to dangerous actions. Most people fantasize about sex.

Young boy fantasies about sexy teachers doesn't sound bad compared to a lot of other popular porn like incest.

I sincerely doubt the audience is school-going kids.

Even if it is, that level of influence will amount to almost nothing. We can argue if it does bad but the need to present and be sexually attractive comes on much stronger from many other sources.

If we're going to discuss realistic grooming I think the key question should be: Will this make the kid significantly more likely to engage with X person they shouldn't be with?
And this, doubt it does half as much as your average drama series and movie star at 35 showing skin.

• If it's grooming then nothing wrong though.
• Teacher should be thought how to look good and sexy as well as attractive.

No, that's a fetish, whereas grooming is an act. It's like women and rape fantasies. It's a well studied fact that most women fantasize about being raped, but they would never want it to actually happen irl.

If I was a teenager I would enjoy seeing sexy teachers.
