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

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:
