What Kind of Kisser Are You?

You'd almost forgotten about Valentine's Day, hadn't you? For those of you who enjoyed a romantic evening with your spouse, you may welcome the memory with a pleasant smile. For those who grudgingly donned red or pink and tried to look busy after work you may have gratefully thought you could forget about love-related holiday until next Feb. 14.

Ha. Not so. April 28 has somehow been deemed "Kiss Your Mate Day." Which means that all of us have got until then to prepare for the smooching celebration. Now, while those of us who are single are faced with the slightly more daunting task of actually finding a mate, those who are partnered can still have it rough. Luckily, there are plenty of online resources to help all of us put forth our best pucker.

First, Dr. Mark Goulston looks at why it's kissing that's missing from so many marriages, and offers six steps toward re-establishing this act of intimacy in your own relationship.

If you're going to start kissing again, however, why not make the most of it? First, take the quiz to discover your own kissing style. Am I a "kute," "krafty" or "krazy" kisser? These lips are sealed (for now, that is).

Next, take a refresher course in the art of kissing to learn moves such as the "vacuum" and the "butterfly." The Royal Romance Web site also offers kissing tips to guide you in everything from initiating the smooch to enjoying its passionate peak.

But why stop at the mouth? The ear is one of the body's main erogenous zones and is the perfect spot for practicing your new technique. With tips from our Tantric expert, your partner's ears will be burning for more.

If all this has got you feeling inspired, why wait until the 28th of April? Put away that pillow and track down your mate!
