Base, how high can you go?

He says:

I was on the phone tonight with a friend who was recounting his abysmal love life, and he started talking about 'bases'. I couldn't rest tonight until I found out what's meant by first, second, third base...It was amazing to read the definitions, the arguments and the lies surrounding this amusing bit of American slang culture.

I could've chosen a few descriptions to share with you, but this link pretty much sums up the evolution of the much-loved phrases. I bet a guy started this analogy: it's competive, easily understood and, importantly, easily communicated. Remember, sexual conquests score very high on the bragging rights charts. I mean, check out the dude who says "we're talking full facial"...What the fuck?! He's like a sports commentator. Hahhaaa. Let's hope he's not your boyfriend?!

Psst - The title is a reference to Public Enemy, the rap band. Betcha never thought you'd come across a 'Hip Hop relationship blog' ® ...Word to the mutha!
