What is the general definition of getting to “first base,” “second base,” etc. when referring to sexual relations? A friend of mine and I were discussing this and as far as we could figure, the bases were:
First Base: kissing.
Second Base: manual stimulation/“petting”
Third Base: oral
Home: …well, that should be obvious.
Is this the general consensus or is there a more accepted variation?
I beleive oral was added in the last decade or so. From what I can gather from tv shows books and movies back in the day it was
First-Kissing
Second-BOOOBS!
Third-hand
Homer-Sex
Now what if you’re a women? What replaces second? I don’t think they had the whole base thing besides being the object of the game. I could be very wrong but this is just the impression that I have.
It’s regional, and I think it’s changed quite a bit in the last several years, as IMO oral sex wasn’t originally on the chart at all.
Where I come from, it was:
Note that this is all from the male perspective. Also note, this conforms to the usage in the film “American Pie.”

I’ve heard it the same as TitoBenito and also hear it called the 4 f’s
frenching, feeling, fingering, fudge
Ann Landers always reported that it was:
1st = Kissing
2nd = Petting above the waist
3rd = Petting below the waist
Home = Lashing her with the wet noodle
getting your boobs felt?
As a teenage girl, I Know the universal base rules.
1.Kissing, maybe frenching, if thats your thing, holding hands, touching each others asses,
2.for guys, its grabbing the girls boobs, girls, its giiving a hand job.
3For guys, its getting his hands down the girls pants and… well, you know. For girls, its oral. 3rd base also entitles of eating out a girl.
Bases? Sheesh, aren’t we cultured?
Just bases? We had an entire vocabulary of words and phrases based on baseball to express our adolescent exploits. For the record, in my neighborhood in Chicago:
1 - kissing on the mouth, tongue involved usually
2 - breasts
3 - down the pants
4 - sex
Other terms we had included:
Scouting report - the low-down on a prospective date
Caught stealing [insert base] - made the attempt, but denied
Her contract’s in arbitration - (a bit silly that one) deciding whether to continue a relationship
She’s been released from the team - break-up
Leading off, as in “I took a huge lead off of second, but I was afraid of getting caught stealing, so I got back to the bag.” - Intentions of moving forward a base
Adn there’s some more I’ll get to later
God, how I hate this expression.
Same here, Lou. I wonder where that phrase came from.
Anyway, just to add some substance here, I never used the term “bases” to describe my sexual progress in a relationship.
Ooops. Sorry to be so crass Silver…I don’t believe I’ve ever utilized the analogy in the past myself (thus my ignorance on the subject). OTOH, it’s such a “guy thing” to equate sex and baseball, isn’t it?
And, embassassingly, I guess I have started my share of shallow threads here. You can take the man outta the gutter, but you can’t take the gutter outta the man.
I hope this doesn’t mean I need to change my sig?
