What is your interpretation of the bases?

[Zinger]

You know the analogy... First base is making out, Second is a hand job, Third is oral, and home is, well, you know.

...At least that's what I thought. But then I got into a discussion with some of my co-workers... and it seems that everyone sees it a bit differently.

What is your interpretation of the analogy? I'm sure there has been many threads about this, but I can't find them.

[Saltire]

I found it, but only because I remembered that the thread title contained the phrase, " third base".

Here's what I remember from back home ...

1st base -- kissing
2nd base -- petting
3rd base -- fingering
4th base -- intercourse

[tracer]

2nd base is hands (or mouth) on bare female breasts.

Which means a woman can only "get to" 2nd base with a man via the man's actions. And two gay men cannot get to 2nd base with each other at all.

[kasuo]

1st base - kissing, with or without tongues
2nd base - light/heavy petting
3rd base - oral sex
Home base - intercourse

But I know there were those other terms used as well. However, I think these are subject to debate.

Stealing a base - a person skips one of the above mentioned bases
Short stop - the guy was about to finger or perform oral sex when the girl stopped him (I don't think guys would ever stop a girl from giving him head)
Bunt - the guy/girl sneaks in a kiss

[Nacho4Sara]

*SIGH* I didn't want to be the pervert who knows this, but...

1. French
2. Feel
3. Finger
4. Fuck

It was pretty popular in my high school days (like, two years ago ;))

Grand-Slam Home Run: four orgasms in one session. Rare.

[Tymp]

Rare? Yeah. Maybe for you . . .



;)

:eek:

What? You think all that butter is just for looks?

[Rasa]

Margerine. Must be margerine. Or ghee. Lactose is bad, m'kay?

I always thought that first was making out, second was up the shirt, third was down the pants, and home was obvious.

[Smeghead]

And here I thought this would be a question about the genetic code. Note to self: pay attention when you wander out of GQ.

[Totoro]

I'm on the same level as Hypergirl, She seems to have gotten it right imho. I never heard the term bunt before, and that seems a little weird to me. And as for grand slam, I gave that once, heh. Proud of that.

Rare? about as rare as going to a ballbark this year and seeing someone hit a HR.

[Skelji]

Hell, I dish out Grand Slams like I was working at Denny's :p
for her...for me, it takes a little longer!

According to my rules of baseball sex:
First Base: Kissing
Second Base: Grabbing breasts, fingering, hand jobs, etc.
Third Base: Oral
Home Run: A Home Run!

I'm so perverted. I always laugh at some of the phrases used when a baseball game is being broadcast:

"Slipped him the high hard one"
"He got good wood on that"
"A little dribbler down the line"
"He's got two balls on him"
"He found the hole on that one"
"There's gonna be a play, he could score..."
"He poked it up the middle"

[dustMagnate]

Slowhand53: I didn't mean alone, sorry if that wasn't clear. :).
When I first heard the phrase it was used to describe the number of male orgasms per session. Male orgasms seem to be easier to count, measure, weigh. If a female is orgasming for say five or ten minutes is that all counted as one? If she is of the gatlin gun variety of staccato 'gasms does each burst count as one or does the whole (woohoo!) cycle count as one? If you think you've been counting correctly but later she says she's been faking does it really matter?

Rare? For who, a man or a woman? IME, rare only in that it would be rare to only have four.

So, uh, hypothetically, what would you call 10 orgasms in one session?

[porcupine]

Whoops, dustMagnate - missed your last post.

A blowout.

We'd probably have to invoke the softball "mercy" rule. ;)

Oh, and if a man had 10 orgasms, I'd have the umpire check his bat for cork. :eek:

or maybe too much pine tar.

[TroubleAgain]

I'm with hypergirl on this one. In my innocent school days, either no one did the "oral" thing, and they certainly didn't admit it if they did (girls that is). It definitely wasn't counted as 3rd base.

1st base, kissing with tongues
2nd base, touching breasts
3rd base, hands down the pants
home was the obvious, of course

[Pink]

1. Kiss
2. Fondle
3. Arouse
4. Penetrate

[DKW]

Good lord...you people mean to tell me that every sexual encounter goes through four distinct stages, never changing, and ALWAYS in the exact same order?

Plus the name of a position is used for an action?

See, this is why I've never put stock in dumba** sports analogies...

Don't worry, you're not the ONLY pervert who knows it...
Pretty popular in my (current) high school days too. (Commonly referred to as the 4 F's)

Funny, at my school, guys called the 4 F's:

1. Find 'em
2. Fondle 'em
3. Fuck 'em
4. Forget 'em

Please note that I personally didn't follow this philosophy.
But for all my luck with women ("luck" having nothing to do with it..), I might as well have. :rolleyes:
