I was having a conversation at dinner last night about inter physical relations. Make out session was how they put it. This conversation eventually let to the metaphor of baseball and how it helped define the level of intimacy one has obtained with a certain individual, ie: I got to first base or second etc. It soon become apparent that we had different understandings of what level of physical contact each base defined. The more conservative of the group (you know who you are) defined first base as kissing or make out session, but I defined first base as hand placed on breast (ahem…).

There was much confusion regarding this issue, and I imagine, depending on your moral, religious or sexual inclinations, each base could mean more or less to each individual.

What a perfect opportunity for a bitter survey:

Footnote: The woman we were with pointed out that only men could define this sad and simple system, and it's quite pathetic that men think three bases are plenty before sliding into home. Of course, I pointed out that I have spent most of my life trying to steal home, and that all this talk of bases was making me tired.
