Speaking for myself, having a "gay sounding" voice is the least of my worries when I hire an escort. I remember many years ago (probably around 15?), I hired an escort/porn star whose name I can't quite recall now. He had a very soft, high voice, perhaps like that of Chris Colfer (I have to confess that although I never thought I would, I'm starting to find him kind of sexy!). I told him "You have such a beautiful voice! Do you sing?". He replied "Oh, no. I hate my voice!". I told him, "Well, you sound like an angel to me...". He gave me a look like he didn't believe me, or perhaps didn't care, but I really meant it. Maybe if I sleep on it overnight, I'll remember who the guy is.

Fairly recently here on the Forum there was an escort advertising on Rentboy that someone had asked about. Several of us after seeing his ad thought he was incredibly handsome. He had some some scenes for Randy Blue or one of the other sites. There was either a preview video on the site or possibly an interview video on YouTube. When many of us saw him, I remember the general consensus was that his voice and mannerisms weren't as masculine as we had thought. And we weren't as attracted to him as we had been previously.

 

Now I'm not saying it's right. I'm also not saying I'm the most masculine guy in the world myself. I also happen to be cursed with a higher voice. Even before I put on weight, I didn't have a visible Adam's Apple which I'm sure correlates to small vocal cords and my higher voice. So it's not like I have any room to throw stones. But I am not attracted to effeminate sounding/acting escorts. It's a prejudice I wish I didn't have. But it's not just escorts. I have trouble with overtly effeminate guys- straight or gay. And overly butch women make uncomfortable too. Now that is on first meeting. If I got to know someone with those characteristics it might not bother over time. But these feelings are not feelings I'm particularly proud of. But if you ask what type of guys am I attracted to, the above is my answer.

A person's voice is incredibly important to me--a deep (bass) voice is a total turn on. When I was living overbroad and slept with my windows open, I could hear men talking while walking along the footpath near my house. There were several who just mesmerized me with just their voices---can still close my eyes and recall them.

Mentioned this before on this Forum, but women who have voices which are very nasal are just the opposite--can't stand them. Yes, there are some men with regional nasal accents that are hard to listen to, but women? The worst examples are an anchor on BBC America--Laura Trevelyan and any/all of the Kardashians.

I'm not real particular: older or younger, shorter or taller, trim or stocky, hairy or smooth, shaven or beard, cut or uncut. I go with the flow in a lot of ways. But a very feminine voice starts to kill my buzz. I love a deep masculine voice. I really love it on a young guy where it's a bit of a surprise.

From what you write, it sounds like low voice on women=nasal voice?

 

I have an alto voice and I've heard guys say it's sexy. (I've never heard it called "nasal" before.) Nevertheless, it makes me sound older so I usually speak in a higher pitch when I first speak to someone in a social setting.

I don't think I typically sound gay, that is, until I start screaming fuck me fuck me harder harder more more ahhhhhhhhh. Is that a gay sound?

 

Nah...this straight girl with a voice like Lauren Bacall makes it too.

I think it largely depends on whether you're a top or bottom. People look for certain characteristics. A masculine top is mostly preferred while a bottom can be either way.

 

Maybe I'm an outlier or maybe I should have been a bottom (but I'm not) but I prefer a more masculine versatile/bottom. But I'm not sure they have to be the Marlboro Man (using him as the epitome of masculinity and lung cancer). I think I'm ok with guys who act 'average' aren't super macho but on the other hand aren't extremely effeminate.

I like to meet young guys off adam4adam and have been pretty happy with the results. I ask a series of questions before meeting and the absolute worst question I ask is "are you masc, fem, or inbetween?" It seems insulting, judgmental, and almost gay-bashing to ask such a question...but I can't get into play with guys who are anything but traditionally masc. Some of my best friends are effeminate and I love being around them, but playing is another thing. . It all probably has to do with self hatred, my mother, and all sorts of other hang-ups which my shrink would charge me thousands to sort out. Are there better ways to determine this on-line without insulting guys who are effeminate? I hate being insulting to gay people. Society, at least in my area, is so insulting already.

Freshjfluff--

Not at all--didn't mean to imply that low voice in women=nasality. What I was trying to say was that women (and some men) who have strong nasality turn me off---so much so that when I hear that BBC anchor, I turn her off. The nasality seems more pronounced in certain parts of the USA, but the Kardashians (and their voices are high pitched) are some of the worst examples. The daughter of George W. Bush on one of the network morning news shows---Good Morning America??--is another example of a nasal voice that is hard to listen to for me.

As far as alto voices in women? If you sound like Marlene Dietrich or Greta Garbo? Yes, yes, very sexy.

Interesting that you would think the lower voice makes you sound older---hadn't thought of that. But that does raise the point of people training their voices to reflect what they wish---deeper, higher, lack of a pronounced regional accent, etc. I don't know if you are fond of British sit-coms, but there is a show called "Are you being served" which includes a men's clothing salesman who is effeminate with a high-pitched voice---except when he answers the phone---then it get deep and seemingly very masculine.

It's interesting ... the video clip is about men who have experienced insecurities about their own voices (about "sounding gay" and feeling judged because of that) ... the comments here take things another step and suggest that those guys get to worry not only about straight guys thinking they're fems, but also about other gay guys (even "gay-sounding" gay guys) not wanting to go to bed with them. It's a harsh world.

I'm not sure if you noticed but the "gay community" does discriminate against those of us who are overweight, old and effeminate, unless we have money...

 

It's a fact!

When I'm with someone who's voice (or what they're nattering on about) bothers me the easiest solution is to put my tongue and/or dick down his throat. Tends to solve the problem.

 

You sound pretty resourceful to me. I'll bet you have a low, low, low voice.:)

Unfortunately, it's a harsh world all over. I'm a chubby (internet/online ad code for fat), bald, average to sub-average in looks who can occasionally look slightly nebbishy and cute. If I still had my career and were straight, I'm sure I could find some nice middle-aged women to date. But being as I'm gay- well to explain my predicament-a gay acquaintance of mine told me I only appeal to a niche market.

 

And unfortunately for me, my niche is very, very narrow!!! "How narrow is it," you ask? I'll tell you. My niche is so narrow that I live in a metro area with a population of over three million. Finding anyone (non-escort) interested in me for sex happens only slightly more frequently than occurrences of February 29th. As for someone single and interested in me for a date, it's never happened.
