Crickets are those little insects that rub their legs to make a chirping noise. When you sit outside on a summer's eve, with your spouse, and there is a lull in the conversation......the only sound you hear is "crickets"------as in no talking, no human communication, with words.
Google: crickets
Sexual connotation of crickets? Probably best to call Bill Cosby about that one....
Oh. Rather romantic, actually.
