Grossed Out In Utah County

Freedom Kissing: A Provo No-No

By John Yewell, 4-11-05

Our thanks for this item go out to Marian Morgan of Provo. Recently we told you about a speech at Brigham Young University by Sheri Dew, CEO of Deseret Books, laying blame for the decline of Western Civilization at the feet of licentious women (of whose numbers our esteemed managing editor Courtney Lowery counts herself a member, I gather). Today, Ms. Morgan of Provo, home to BYU, tells us how it all begins: French kissing -- or Freedom kissing to you jingoists. Here’s her letter to the Deseret Morning News:

Too much French kissing

Am I the only one who is grossed out by the French kissing we see on television and in the movies? In my opinion, French kissing is a stage in sexual foreplay, and I, for one, do not enjoy watching someone else having sex.
I feel young people who watch this behavior are getting distorted ideas about what a wholesome courtship should be. Too much, too soon is not a good thing.
