Yeah, I need a collection of vagina sounds for research purposes. Yes, they have to be ballerinas, and don't skimp on the bare feet pics

Not research, but artistic! And the article said the volunteers were unsolicited, so they were (presumably) happy to contribute to the cause!

I have a question about this. What does unsolicited mean in this context?

2

I actually chose my words very carefully because I wasn’t sure either. Unpaid? Or the women volunteered without even being asked? I’d normally think the latter, but it seems pretty bizarre!

Ok, I was going to crack a joke about how this is a response to the vulva slit being removed from the depiction of the nude woman on the Pioneer plaque, but it literally is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque#Criticism

According to the memoirs of Robert S. Kraemer, however, the original design that was presented to NASA headquarters included a line which indicated the woman's vulva,[11] and this line was erased as a condition for approval of the design by John Naugle, former head of NASA's Office of Space Science and the agency's former chief scientist.[11]

There have also been criticisms of the censorship of the female figure's genitals. Scientist and artist Joe Davis protested the depiction with his Poetica Vaginal project wherein he used an MIT radar dish to transmit the recordings of a vaginal detector.[22]

TIL, hope that I somehow get to use the knowledge I learned from this thread in conversation in the physical world someday!

Tau Ceti is only 12 ly away

1998 + 12 = 2010

So they're like 15 years late replying to the pussy call. Either they are too old and slow or they have so much already they're just too busy

Or they got the signal and had no fucking clue what it was, like when we got that strange noise from space that happened just once and never again.

Maybe aliens’ vaginas sounds like magnetars.

All joking aside, it took us almost 40 years to figure that out, the aliens have only had 30, and in the magnetars case we can use other celestial bodies to help figure that out. Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

Or the perfectly reasonable response to intergalactic transmission of unsolicited coochie sounds.

per OP, signal reached T.C. in 1998 T.C. is ~12 ly away if they responded that year we'd have got the message in 1998 + 12 = 2010 that was 15 years ago

So I learned the new word "invaginate" today and will now be using it in all the sexy talk I share with my wife.

Best of luck in keeping your ability to invaginate anyone after you speak with her with such wooing words.

Became concerned

I'd put "hypothetical aliens listening to our radio transmissions won't know what our vaginas sound like" preeeety far down my list of concerns but you do you, king

Oh, I thought they meant the other kind of "sound" and I am like, that's a lot of mass to send interstellar for a joke.

A medical sound is a surgical steel rod used for "sounding" (ie, probing) parts of the human anatomy. More generally, a sound is any probe or pole used to test depth or similar properties; mapping the depth of a pond with a graduated pole is "sounding the pond".
