"On the attraction between man and woman society is based; but its refined is greater than its gross force, and its weight is like the gravitation of the globe."

There are two options for any society: total prohibition as in a totalitarian state, or total license. Both avoid the ardours of decision. Both have the attraction of certainty. The difficult option is to decide where the line should be drawn and this, surely, is the responsiblity of any civilized and democratic country.
