When I'm feeling squirrelly, I post to craigslist. For attention, or interaction, or whatever, it always delivers. I've only posted once looking for a date, and I was so low in the self-esteem department, that the ad turned out awful and I took it down in less than 12 hours, with only 3 responses (2 of which were of the cut-and-paste variety).

Mostly, though, they're just off-the-cuff diatribes on whatever is occupying my thoughts at the time and I want to hear what others think about it. My most recent post:

Bashful kisser?
I just took an online test that described me as a bashful kisser. Now, I know these online test thingies are a crock, but usually emode/tickle's conclusions are a little closer to the mark. I may be insecure about a lot of things, but kissing is not one of them. A soft pair of lips and a strong pair of hands are the biggest turn-on ever ... well, confidence ranks right up there, as does a beautiful pair of eyes (although I can't see them when I'm kissing as I'm one of those eyes-closed-while-kissing girls). But kissing, that's the first step to everything else, and if that doesn't work out, then what hope is there for a close physical relationship?

I used to think there were good and bad kissers. I've learned since then that while there are some truly and objectively bad kissers out there, mostly it's just a matter of compatibility. There are those who prefer deep, tongue-down-the-throat kissing, and others who prefer the light, teasing, tongue-never-all-the-way-in-the-mouth kissing. Me, I like both in equal proportion. After all, too much of either method leaves you either breathless in a bad way, or like you're always reaching reaching reaching to make contact. There is a rhythm and flow to kissing, just like there is to sex, and it takes some sensitivity to your partner to determine what is called for and when (as well as when to move on to the neck, the ears, the throat, the collarbone, etc.).

Anyway, what is your kissing type according to the test? And how does it compare with how you think you kiss?
