As a straight male, my answer is dead simple: female voices are attractive, pleasant, and comforting to me in large part because I experience romantic attraction exclusively towards women.
I can't speak for non-heterosexual men or for women on this question though.
- dTal 9y agoHow confident are you of this introspection? Might it not rather be (for example) that female voices are evocative of motherhood? Speaking for myself, while I would prefer a high-pitched voice for a digital assistant (male or female - Data sounds friendlier than HAL, for instance), I would prefer it not to be sexualised. Can't say for sure until I've tried it, but I think it would be disturbing if a computer attempted to flirt with me.
