Are deep voices sexier?
Summary
TLDRThe script explores the allure of a man's deeper voice, attributing it to hormonal changes during puberty that enlarge the larynx, resulting in a lower pitch. Scientific studies confirm that women often find deeper voices more attractive, associating them with physical traits like height and strength. However, the 'Peak Shift Effect' suggests that voices are perceived as more masculine when they are far from the feminine end of the spectrum. Interestingly, a study revealed that men with the lowest-pitched voices had lower semen quality, challenging the notion that a deep voice equates to better health or fitness for reproduction.

Q & A
Why do men generally have deeper voices than women?
-Men tend to have deeper voices due to the influence of hormones, specifically testosterone during puberty, which enlarges the larynx, creating the Adam's apple and lowering the voice by an octave on average.
Is there scientific evidence that men's deeper voices are perceived as more attractive?
-Yes, studies indicate that women generally rate recordings of men's deeper voices as more attractive and associate them with positive physical characteristics such as height, strength, and attractiveness.
What is the 'Peak Shift Effect' mentioned in the script?
-The 'Peak Shift Effect' is a psychological phenomenon where humans respond more strongly to stimuli that are at the extreme ends of the biological male-female spectrum, such as deeper voices being perceived as more masculine and attractive.
Do deeper voices actually correlate with a man's physical size?
-No, there is no precise correlation between deeper voices and body size. Testosterone affects the larynx and body at different rates, so some big men might have higher pitched voices and some small men can have lower pitched voices.
What is the role of testosterone in the perception of deep voices as sexy?
-Testosterone is associated with sexual maturation, and a deep voice can signal this maturity, which may contribute to the perception of deep voices as sexy.
What does the script say about the relationship between voice pitch and semen quality?
-Contrary to the perception that deeper-voiced men are more attractive and stronger, the script mentions a study that found men with the lowest-pitched voices had lower semen quality and sperm concentration.
What is the ironic twist in the script regarding voice pitch and fertility?
-The ironic twist is that despite the attractiveness associated with deeper voices, men with the lowest-pitched voices were found to have lower semen quality, suggesting that voice pitch is not an indicator of fertility.
How does the script suggest we should approach choosing a partner for having a baby?
