A deep voice may mean a lower sperm count

Men with deep voices have lower sperm counts than their counterparts, researchers have discovered.

With studies finding that women rate men with deep voices as being more dominant, older, healthier and more masculine, scientists from the University of Western Australia tried to discover if they are also more fertile.

They recorded men saying the five vowels and calculated the pitch of their speech.

The tapes were played back to women, who rated them for attractiveness. Finally, sperm samples were analysed.

The women judged the lower-pitched
voices as more attractive, but those men had lower sperm counts, the
journal PLoS ONE reports.

The biology behind the phenomenon may
be quite simple, with high levels of the male sex hormone testosterone
impeding sperm production.

The researchers got women to listen to the voice recordings of 54 men aged between 18 and 32.

Those men were also asked to provide a sperm sample.

After noting that lower sperm counts were associated with the men with deeper voices, the researchers concluded that perhaps some sort of trade-off was taking place.

Rules of attraction: The study found that women found a deep voice attractive and masculine

They believe it could be nature’s way of balancing things out, so that if you have the voice and muscles women love so much, you lose out on the virility front.

It should be noted, though, that all the sperm counts measured were within healthy parameters.

The results of the study were published in the journal PLos ONE.

“They believe it could be nature’s way of balancing things out, so that if you have the voice and muscles women love so much, you lose out on the virility front.”. ===== That kind of kicks the concept of selection of the fittest into touch and almost implies that evolution has developed some kind of liberal agenda driven by quotas rather than random genetic mutation.

Sperm quality might be very relevant also? We are talking many millions after all? Also, what is the average number of children of each group?

So they don’t come out signing “Go compare go compare” Nice advert??

I read a study not too long ago that men with deep voices did have a higher sperm count. If you wait long enough the “facts” will change… I gather for the most part, the “experts” don’t know what the heck they are talking about!
