Have you got any weird questions FROM the opposite gender?
Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.
I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.

This question actually came from another dude, but similar energy: I have a deep voice, so they asked, if it's relaxing to feel those bass vibrations in my body whenever I talk.
This one is amazing. One of those ones that goes so far past dumb it becomes funny.
When you think about it, low humms sound soothing so... I guess he was right? I do enjoy humming to myself sometimes.
Well... Is it? :p
It for sure is. Like a goddamn built-in subwoofer.
I just had never thought about it before the guy asked, because obviously, I kind of grew up with that voice.
This is the best thing I've read today.
Dude you need to try throat singing. Kargyraa is fun.
I know it's not technically what you said, but I did envision a baby with a Michael Clarke Duncan voice, and I found it pretty funny!
My mum does like to tell the story that when I was in like first or second grade, she attended some stage show that we were doing. And when I said something on stage, another mum whispered to her "Wow! What a deep voice that boy has!".
I do also remember not actually having that big of a voice change during puberty, so yeah, that is perhaps closer to the truth than one might expect. 🙃
Actually weird question that Ive been puzzling.
You know those anime girls who try to be obnoxiously cute, where they raise their voice to a high pitch? Then off screen, they're back to their regular tone?
For people with high pitched voices... Is that a choice?
I think, it has to do chest voice vs. head voice.
Basically, when you vibrate your vocal cords, then depending on the frequency, it can either resonate with your chest cavity or with your head cavity. The chest cavity is larger, so it resonates at a deeper frequency and the resonance is louder, which is why most of us use chest voice while talking normally.
But yeah, as you go up, there's a bit of a range where you have to put more force into making your vocal cord vibrations heard, because at those frequencies, it does not resonate well with either chest or head cavity.
And then beyond that, you get into the range where it resonates well with the head cavity, so it's again not as taxing anymore to speak in that range (although still usually more taxing than chest voice, because it just resonates less loudly).
So, even with my deep chest choice, I do also have relatively good range into the upper registers, because well, my head cavity isn't particularly larger than others'.
But I have heard that some people cannot tap into their head voice, not without vocal training anyways.
Sometimes I get a particular kind of headache. Listening to loud music with heavy bass can help ease the headache. Singing along to my playlist of songs I might sing at karaoke from my belly loudly also can help ease the pain a bit. So yes, I guess it can be relaxing.
