bass / sexyness

why do people in general like so much the bass sound?
because it reminds of a heart beating, maybe something you
hear in the womb or...?

what makes some people appear sexy to other people, why do
most men find breasts attractive, or particular kinds of
hair or eyes or....? is it for the gene pool diversity,
breast-feeding for children or...?

(whimsical and unlikely answers are welcome as well)

I think boobs are just a curiosity. Just look objectively;
they are weird. (period) And besides being weird they are
squishy and bouncy - People like squishy and bouncy things.
Though the reason for this could very well be because boobs
are squishy and bouncy and we are just subconsciously
thinking whatever is squishy and bouncy is a boob.

squishy and bouncy boobies are just so...squishy...AND
BOUNCY

" Just look objectively; they are weird."

> yes... but everything is weird when you focus on
it... no?

(maybe the fact that men don't have them is important, too.)

I've noticed that bass waveforms are longer and slower than
sounds at higher pitches. So yes, its possible that humans
just notice bass more because its easier to hear (doesn't
zoom by as fast [although it can, if you program it right]),
but I've also noticed that most ambient tracks tend to stay
in the lower ranges as well... it tends to have some sort of
relaxing/unpiercing affect, however people always take
things to extremes and like to turn up those lower tones
that they love so much to completely absorb themselves in
it.

(imo?)

funny that the bass player is usually the least appreciated
member of a rock band.

I heard somewhere that low frequencies subliminally remind
us of past dangers (earthquakes, stampedes, volcanoes etc).
Something to do with our evolution, i guess.

Bass: Thrilling on a Neolithic Level.

Yes I have also read that...and the reason it is supposed to
be so popular with males is because as a result of this
subliminal reference males naturally start feeling and
become more agressive when listening to bass heavy choons.
Which obviously gives them a buzz and a hard on.

Goodness, and i thought it was just the vibratory effect
that made my winkle feel funny. Like sitting on the top deck
of a bus or something.

I like the little rumble in my throat that loud bass gives.
And I like the percussive nature of it. I always keep my
subwoofer close to me so I can really feel it. And I
certainly wouldn't be surprised if ''subliminal aggression''
theory was right. You definitely want something with some
boom when you're teeming with adrenaline.

For me, I mostly treat it like a sort of pillar/support
device. I like when basslines are walking around a track,
accentuating both the beat and the melody at the same time.
During instrumental buildups when the bass isn't there, or
it's just waiting to jump in, I really notice its absence.
