Just wanted to add my 2 cents about where this thread went a few posts ago... The problem with forums and text based social spaces is that the tone of the statement could be taken completely out of context to the point where someone may feel offended or on guard. You don't get the same verbal...

Nah, just Brodys intro to the birds and the bees talk. The raunchy stuff happens in the Breeding section. :LOL:
