They are perhaps the most essential element in anyone's life. Without them we would be lonesome and our days would seem endless and daunting. Everyone needs someone to confide in, or share their fears and favorite moments with. Bonds form the fabric in the business world as well, as alliances and associations are what help a venture get off the ground, thrive, and keep customers for life. Our connections can help shape our behavior and personality, and even make us live longer healthier lives, when they are reciprocal. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We'll wax on about relationships on this week's episode of FYI!

DISCLAIMER: Enjoy this week's episode after hours once you have tucked the kids in. It's for mature audiences, but not that mature. Now, Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me, let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be...Let's talk about sex. Let me ask you a question, and be honest. Do I make you horny baby? Do I? Do I make you randy? Yeah! It's everywhere we look, in music, movies, TV, and it's even slipped its way into art. It can be the ultimate bonding experience, a deeper connection, if you catch my drift. Oh Yeah! All joking aside and make no mistake about this: it's vital to our very existence. Where would we be without the power to procreate and pass the torch down, as well as our legacy, to the next generation? But let's call a spade a spade, who doesn't wanna get down, do the deed,get laid, or the many other euphemisms we use to describe an erotic encounter. Cos I'm horny, so so horny. So let's get it on. We're going to babble on about the birds and the bees on this week's episode of FYI!
