                               Standardized Guide to the Bases
                               ------------------------------- 

       Do you remember middle school/junior high/high school?  If so, do you
remember talking about 'the bases' with your friends?
      "Yeah man, at the dance, X and Y went behind the gym and they got to
second base!"
       Well that was cool and all, but what the hell was second base? Tongue
kissing?  Up the shirt? Noone was really sure. Also, the bases tended to
get progressively more intense as you got older. What's a person to do?
Here, we mourn the passing of using baseball ananlogies to describe
sexual activity.  But let's face it, there are more than four stages in
today's day and age of sex play.  So, in the interests of both bringing
baseball sex metaphors in line with the complications of modern romance
and with standardizing the bases, we present the Standardized Guide to the
Bases.
        First, let's examine what the bases could have meant in the old d ays.
- - First Base-  This was almost always kissing, although one guy I knew
hought
    it meant holding hands.  Sometimes it was tongue kissing and sometimes
ot.
- --Second Base-  Variously this meant tongue kissing, breast feeling, or
    outside the clothes genital contact.
- --Third Base-  Usually this was a hand down the pants of you or your
artner.
- --Home Run-  This was ALWAYS sex, although it was rarely reached in the
imes
    when you had to refer to it in terms of bases.
       Well that system is ok, if you are a young teenager with a repressed
ex drive.  But what happens when you reach maturity and new factors enter
he
quation, such as oral sex?  And what about the exact definitions?  Well
we have attempted to answer such puzzling questions and present without
further ado...

    Standardized Guide to the Bases!

- --On Deck-  Having plans for a date
- --Strike-Out-  Duh!!
- --Walk-  Kissing
- --Bunt-  Masturbation
- --Single-  Tongue kissing
- --Double-  Breasts/chest touched, some clothes off, lots of grabbing and
feels
- --Triple-  Most of the clothes off, genital contact, mutual masturbation
- --Inside the park home run-  Oral Sex
- --Home Run-  SEX!
- --Ground Rule Double-  would have sex, but no condom
- --Error-  Condom breaks during sex
- --Banned for life for gambling-  sex without condom
- --Hall of Fame-  Marriage

   Now that we've got the basics, let's introduce some terms to better
   explain all the things that can happen now a days.
 
- --Balk-  Premature ejaculation
- --Pine Tar- KY jelly
- --Relief pitcher-  Vibrator
- --Rain Delay-  parents/roommate return home unexpectedly
- --Box Seats-  Waterbed
- --Seventh Inning Stretch-  Unusual positions
- --Rookie-  Virgin
- --Minor Leagues-  Under 18
- --Loaded Bases-  manage a trois
- --Grand Slam-  Sex three times in twelve hours
- --Foul tip-  VD
- --Three up and three down-  impotency

   Now that we have the definitions, lets quickly contrast the old
   confusion with current clarity.

 OLD WAY- we um got to third base i guess and then we um got like past
          third base, but not to home plate.  i really like her.
 NEW WAY- first, there was a triple, then we got and inside the park home
          run, and started thinking, it's hall of fame time.
 NEW WAY- So there i was with the bases loaded and nobody out, when i balked
        during the seventh inning stretch and i had to call in a relief
pitcher.
 
        Well, there you have it, i hope it has cleared up a lot of the
 confusion and helps you out...
