Lucy y Ted se están besando.
Lucy y Ted están besándose.
[the se is needed to make the transitive verb besar intransitive....
Lucy and Ted are kissing ....what?? transitive (what is the d.o.)
Lucy and Ted are kissing.......intransitive (no. d.o.)]

Ted and Lucy are kissing.
The present progressive of "to kiss" when the subject is third person plural (ellos) is "are kissing."
I am kissing
You are kissing (singular and plural)
He is kissing
We are kissing
They are kissing

One uses "se" to express reciprocal actions, or in other words, actions that people do to eachother.
Ted y Lucy se besan = Ted and Lucy kiss eachother
Another example would be Ellos se pelean, or they fight eachother.

I said that today with divorciarse and was told it was wrong. Must depend on the verb. - 0074b507, Jun 28, 2011
se besan is reflexive with this verb (splitting hairs with reciprocal). - 0074b507, Jun 28, 2011
