Stupidest thing I ever heard. If a man needs to ask a woman for permission to kiss her, it takes away the romantic mood.
Where were going with the likes of Bell, what man in his right mind would pursue a relationship much less than get married?
Sexual correctness is also evil,too.
It has been a LONG time since I have had to wonder whether on not a woman wanted me to kiss her, but if I recall correctly that little dance between a man and a woman in the early phase of a relationship was quite a lot of fun.
