Good kissers go places. If you can kiss with both sensitivity and experience, it's not just his opinion of you that'll rise to the roof. An open-mouthed kiss is the first signal couples use to show they find each other physically attractive. It's a big deal! Get it right and things move forward -- often straight to the bedroom. Get it wrong and it can stop a blossoming relationship before it's even started. (Gulp.) Find out how you rate on the kissing scale -- and get some kissing tips in the process -- with this tell-all kissing quiz.

  1. When you were younger, did you ever kiss the mirror for practice?
    • Mirrors, oranges, your arm or palm, the dog… What didn't you practice on?
    • Once or twice. How else were you supposed to limber up those lips for your first smooch?
    • Kiss the mirror? What for? You were too busy studying to think about kissing. Plus, who needed boy germs anyway?
    • You had no idea people did that but wish you'd known -- you were terrified of kissing!
  1. Tongue kissing is:
    • Not your thing.
    • Intensely erotic. You often use your tongue to subliminally set the pace of his thrusting during intercourse.
    • Enjoyable if done properly. The mood sets how far you insert your tongue into his mouth -- but generally you use about the first third.
    • Something you enjoy, but you usually follow your partner's lead in that department.
