Does asking for consent kills the mood?

Consent doesnt kill the mood. Consent opens the way for greater clarity, safety, pleasure, and ecstasy.

How do you ask consent without ruining the mood?

If your partner-to-be is willing to give consent, the mood wont be awkward. Just ask, “Do you mind if…?” or, “May I…?” and await the answer. If no, then there may be some awkwardness. Simply apologize for the forward question and move on to other conversation.
