Abstract	In this article I use a combination of feminist and psychoanalytic theories to understand the surfacing of sexualized discourse in secondary classrooms as a manifestation of suppressed pedagogical eroticism. I illustrate this phenomenon with an incident that Sheila, one of my participants in a study of sexual dynamics in pre-service teachers' classrooms, relayed as an example of a Freudian slip: The time she unconsciously drew a penis on the board. Narrative analysis provides the methodological framework for understanding how Sheila used this story and others to construct her identity as a "sexy teacher". I call for a space to share these kinds of stories so that teachers can better understand the sometimes-sexualized dimension of their teaching and to view sexual dynamics in the classroom as a "condition to be lived with" rather than a problem to be solved. (Contains 1 figure and 4 notes.) (As Provided).
