'Sexy' voice gives fertile women away

From New Scientist Print Edition. Colin Barras
A woman's voice becomes more attractive when she is most fertile. That's according to Nathan Pipitone and Gordon Gallup of the State University of New York at Albany.
The pair recorded women counting from 1 to 10 at four occasions during their menstrual cycle. They then replayed the recordings at random to male and female students and asked them to rate the attractiveness of the voices. Both males and females judged the women's voices to be most attractive if they were recorded during the peak fertility period of the menstrual cycle, and less attractive if they were recorded during non-fertile periods (Evolution and Human Behavior, DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2008.02.001).
The results are in line with evidence that the female voice box, or larynx, is under the influence of sex hormones, says Gallup. He says the changes in the female voice during peak fertility support the view that women are "different" at that point in the menstrual cycle - in other words, that they experience oestrus.
“Changes in the attractiveness of a woman's voice during peak fertility support the view that women experience oestrus”The theory of human oestrus remains controversial because its effects are subtle; human females show none of the distinct genital swellings seen in other female mammals "in heat". But there is increasing evidence of more subtle changes. "Other differences include changes in sexual receptivity and odour sensitivity," Gallup says.

Jerry; Oh! my God!....
George: What?
Jerry: Oh! God.. Oh! man.....Oh! brother!!! I can’t believe what I’m hearing. This woman his talking to me on my tape recorder while I was on stage. This is wild. I’ve never heard anything like this in my life.
Thanks to all for posting those pictures . I have been having problems with impure thoughts and now I feel as though I may have been cured permanently .
I'll show you some shrinkage!
For many years, I have advised young men looking for a wife to pick one with a nice voice, because they will probably spend a lot more time listening than looking.
How about that Married With Children episode where the fat mother-in-law is running a phone sex line, answering in a sultry voice, “Hello, you’re cooking with Butter!”
Ummmm-— That would be weird. I just did a recording last week for an agency’s answering machine. I was told my voice sounded sexy, but I know there was no way I was fertile. LOL!
Finally some research worth listening to.
So how does one explain Shrillary’s and Susan Estrogen’s contantly objectional voices??
That sir is very good advice.
Bill Clinton: “You had me at 1...you had me at 1!!!”
Fine, but what I want to know is which women want sex the most all month long.
