Take the temperature of your relationship by completing the quiz above and then check your score below to find out ways to turn up the heat.

Tepid  (10-12 points)

If you took this quiz, you were at least curious enough to think about your sex life to see where it falls on the passion curve. Since it is at or near the bottom of this quiz, you might want to work on some improvement. Start by talking with your partner about why you don't do most of the things on this list. If you both agree there could be some improvement without too much fuss, great! Choose something on the list that interests you, such as kissing more passionately and more often, and add it to your personal schedule. If, however, one of you is highly resistant or even angry at the suggestion, you might want to dig deeper and see if there is a serious problem or general alienation that you need to deal with. At the very least, talking about the issues or seeking a counselor to help you communicate should be a great help to your relationship.

Next: 13-15 points. »
