==Relevance to [[AAM]]s, [[MAP]]s and their allies==

Sikes was the subject of media [[moral panic]] in the UK, over a pre-publication article on the topic of consensual teacher-student romantic and/or sexual relationships in UK secondary schools. Unlike more recent scholars subjected to media hysteria, Sikes was supported by her university and retained her academic position. Instead of self-censoring her article in response to media, Sikes published the offending article in 2006, titled "''Scandalous stories and dangerous liaisons: when female pupils and male teachers fall in love''".<ref>Scandalous stories and dangerous liaisons: when female pupils and male teachers fall in love, ''Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning'', 6:3, 265-280, <DOI:10.1080/14681810600836471>. [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14681810600836471 Journal link]. [https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1080/14681810600836471 Sci-hub link].</ref> In the abstract, Sikes wrote that her "''paper draws on accounts of heterosexual attraction and consensual sexual relationships between female secondary school pupils and their male teachers as stories that have been told, by the people involved, in a positive fashion. The paper considers the ways in which sexual activity and identity are controlled and regulated through discursive practices and invites questioning of orthodoxies and norms.''"

Sikes declares her personal interest upfront:

::"''I met the man I married in 1970 on my first day at upper school when I was 14. He was 22, starting his first day as a teacher and I was in his history group. Very quickly, but without anything being said, we recognised our mutual attraction, although it was not until two years later, on the evening that he left the school to take up a post elsewhere, that we explicitly and unequivocally declared our feelings for and to each other. Despite our discretion, I later learnt that senior members of staff had been aware that there was something there and they were not in the least surprised when I returned to school, after the summer vacation, as their ex-colleague’s girlfriend. I doubt that any one considered me to have been ‘exploited’, and I certainly felt nothing of the kind. I do have to say, however, that the school I attended was a liberal Leicestershire comprehensive, where pupil–teacher relationships were not unusual, and that the staff were, on the whole, young, progressive and full of the social idealism of the 1960s.''" (p. 270).
