Most Kissing Is Non-Sexual, Killjoy Researchers Discover










In life as in movies, a good kiss is indelible. It’s love and desire and unfettered happiness: wives and girlfriends embracing soldiers returned from war; Ingrid Bergman crying out to Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, “Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time!” At least that’s what we’ve been taught.But a new study published in American Anthropologist has found that kissing isn’t the universal expression of romantic love we all thought it was.







The research paper by anthrpologists  from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was published on July 6. On the very same day Sun was opposite Pluto and a chart drawn for the event at Las Vegas had the combination in aspect to the meridian with Pluto in the mundane 5th house that is associated with romance, lovemaking and sex [1].  Sexual taboos or that which is shunned or forbidden by a culture come under the domain of Pluto. On those days that the Sun transits Pluto such taboos are brought to light.  In addition, on July 6, the Sun [14cn] was conjunct the asteroid Eros [16cn] and the centaur Cyllarus [16cn]. All these were conjunct the star Sirius [14cn]. Alpha (α) Canis Major, Sirius, is a brilliant white and yellow star in the Greater dog’s mouth (lips?).Cyllarus represents positive tactile sensual expression [2] so that along with Eros (sexual love) its position opposite Pluto is all about taboos in this area.








Cyllarus: A handsome, devoted centaur, he represents positive sensual expression, willingness to fully embrace life in the physical plane. Positive - artistic, soothing, tactile, healing, comforting. Negative - shut down, defensive, protected, lack of creative outlet.
