I’m 26, and Oredigger’s interpretation is unfamiliar to me too. I always heard:
Kiss (optional tongue requirement)
Boob touching or general non-genital “fooling around”
Mutual masturbation
H. Intercourse
Haven’t yet met anyone in meatspace who’s disagreed with this interpretation. Of course, there are only so many situations where the subject would come up for discussion. YMMV.
Now days, who knows? The kids are sexting in elementary school, giving/getting blowjobs in middle school, and staging anal orgies at the Freshman Mixer in high school.
Historical footnote: the 2101 Geneva Accords redefined first base as double penetration. We cannot mathematically describe to you puny 21st century types what third base is.
First base: sex on the first date.
2nd base: sex on the second date.
third base: sex on the third date.
Home run: sex in the bathroom where you met her.
I also remember reading another article about oral sex in middle schools in Canada, and sex clubs in high schools in the US.
Nowadays, sex is like kissing someone on the cheek to say “hi.” I don’t like it, but that’s the way it is when your cultural role models are Paris Hilton, Tara Reid and Britney “Fur Burger” Spears.
I just don’t understand why oral is considered so far away from intercourse. I mean, it takes further to go from clothed heavy petting to oral than it does to go from oral to PIV sex.
Then again, I don’t like the idea of the whole thing being a continuum in the first place. When I kiss someone, I’m not thinking that I’m on my way to having sex with them.
This is my understanding, except that second base means actually touching a bare breast. If ya don’t get under the bra, then you’re just taking a lead off first base.
I have to go now, but here’s a couple:
Him: I went up to bat but all I got was a bunt…no skin, nothing. (i.e. dry humping)
Her: I didn’t know he was a curveball pitcher. (i.e. banana dick)
Him: She took a while to warm up until I found the pitcher’s mound. (i.e. clit)
