Aye, so it seems to me too. Is it just a matter of size (of phoneme inventory) and
ruggedness and bristliness of word-forms? Or is there more to it than
phonaesthesia?

(Did I not lack the will to fight off flamewarriors incensed by
gender-stereotyping, I would proceed to enquire whether the degree of
lingamaticity of the conlangs we are attracted to correlates more with (a) our
own gender or with (b) the gender of those we are drawn to as (b1) intimates or
(b2) lovers. In my case, given that I've always taken a shine to Gearthnuns,
it's (a).)
