Oh dear. This is humiliating for her. But to be fair, his friends said that he was a perv in chapter 8 and she was probably working off that. Wait till she finds out that was just a lie to hide the truth.
Humiliating? Flip the genders. Imagine if a FMC was in love with someone else, and some side character guy wouldn't take no for an answer, and pulled out is his junk in front of her to convince her to date him. Would you think him humiliated and feel sorry for him in that circumstance if he was still rejected?

Yeah it's harassment. Not the right way to go about it lol.

This whole chapter was a big yikes on all fronts.

First, the girl goes a bit nuts.

Then the MC rejects her in the worst way possible - that kind of reaction can cause long-term damage to someone. I just can't not feel bad for her there, regardless of what she did prior.

And after that, he is confused about why his teenage body, which probably gets boners from looking at a curvy bottle or hearing the word boobs, got one from looking at a naked girl... And he acts like it's the end of the world... Just from that reaction, we know that mentally he's barely a teenager, let alone an adult ready to get into a relationship with someone who is in their mid-30s.

The premise worked when it was kinda joky, in a short-format manga kind of way. But if we are talking realism, someone who's 35 would have virtually nothing to talk about with someone who's 18. Unless they both like similar media, like games or TV shows, but that's just a filler. What else though? Will they reminisce in bed about the time she was his teacher? Please. After this chapter I'm 100% with Sensei - this guy needs to move on. Some might pull it off, but he is at least 10 years too early from dating in 30s.

Flipping genders in this case doesn't work on multiple levels.

But I also think that if the crush reacted with fear and/or disgust to a male showing his junk, it would absolutely be humiliating and debilitating. Especially if he was to show himself in the same way - meekly, desperately, from the position of submissiveness. I think it would be a good result, if after that the guy didn't get anxiety attacks from looking at that girl.

How was it the worst way possible? Which method of rejecting her would have been more acceptable to you? He'd turned her down multiple times, and said he can't view her as more than a friend because he love someone else. NO ONE is obligated to receive ANY information or excuse when being turned down. If someone doesn't want to date you, them telling you "No thanks" is a perfectly acceptable response. He did far more than that to make things clear, and she still wouldn't take no for an answer, eventually culminating in sexually harassing him to try to win his favor.

Like, she's young, and in love and desperate, so I don't think she's bad or irredeemable or anything like that. But I have way more sympathy for him than her in this circumstance.

Explain how it doesn't work? Just because you sympathize more with her than him? He turned someone down multiple times, made it very clear he wasn't interested, and she still decided of her own accord to flash him without his consent. At that point his feeling of being violated are FAR more important and valid than her feeling of being rejected because she couldn't take no for an answer.

Ah, the inability to hold actual conversations brings unnecessary conflict yet again.

He doesn't owe her an explanation, but damn, see her that pressed about a second "just a friend" might warrant a slight follow up before she goes full naked yandere.

Not running away screaming, like her body is the scariest thing he has ever seen.

Cover her up. Apologize again for not being able to accept her feelings, even with her being so desperate. Tell her straight that he is in love with someone else, and that he doesn't think that she is not attractive, but his heart is just set on that person. She might have just had some kind of mental episode and shouldn't be left alone. Wait for her to dress up, and make sure she is (relatively) ok before leaving. Maybe call her friend, nurse, or female teacher.

Would you expect that from a girl? If a guy they knew was interested in them, but they rejected, flashed their junk at them? Would you expect her to cover him up and tell him FOR LIKE THE 4TH TIME that she's in love with someone else?

Honestly sounds like you're just white knighting way too hard. She was the predator, he was the victim. In no other circumstance would you expect a victim of sexual harassment to placate and coddle their victimizer. You're being completely unsympathetic to what he was just put through, what SHE put him through.

Geez, Mr author, can you go back to drawing "Sono Mono Nochi Ni" please ?
This Rom Com was already very generic in its own right, but now it's going downhill real fast.
