"Vocal attractiveness appears to be a phenotypic marker of health and reproductive fitness (Hughes et al. 2002, 2004) and is linked with increased numbers of sexual partners, decreased reported age of first sexual contact, and a larger number of extramarital affairs (Hughes et al. 2004)."

"Conversely, at a slightly higher threshold, more attractive voices were related to increased activation in bilateral FG and left midoccipital regions. Bilateral FG tend to be associated with processes in the visual modality, predominately with the processing of faces (e.g., Kanwisher et al. 1997)."

"Although the activation we report in the FG does not overlap “exactly” and is slightly more medial than the area many studies define as the FFA, it is nevertheless surprising that our study focusing on “vocal” attractiveness resulted in activation of visual areas."

It's over for me because I permanently damaged my vocal cords when I was a teen
