Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.

It might be grammatically correct but it’s kinda creepy! Kwiziq has to cater for all tastes I suppose.

Hi Richard, 

I agreed that it does sound a bit strange ... however, the way the reflexive works both 'kissed each other' and 'kissed themselves' or plain 'kissed' can be conveyed.

The French lacking here methinks!
