I don't believe that predation is 'taught' or learned and it's not exactly like there have not been instances where teachers haven't had sexual relations with their students
Huh?
1. It can be learnt if the predato was a victim as a child himself.
2. I'm well aware that teachers have had sexual relations with their students.
But this raises some questions:
1. Did they know where to turn for help with any form of sex addiction if any kind before committing the abuse, abd
2. Had they known where to turn for help, might they they have been better able to control their behaviour and so not abuse the child.
Again, no student at a teacher college or applicant to become a school teacher will openly admit to suffering rape fantasies, fantacies of sex with children, etc.
This means that we usually won't know about the problem until it's too late, and by then it's too late.
If including sex addiction as part of a sex ed curriculum could help even a fraction of potential predators to control their behaviour, we might then never know they are predators because they would have known where to turn for help before they hurt anyone.
Would you rather learn that a person had this problem after he hurt someone or never know because he would have known where to turn for help to learn to control his problem and so never hurt anyone?
Of course some might still abuse. But if it deters even some, that would still be a step forward. We could punish and we aught to, but by then it's already too late for his victim.
