What do "bases" mean in a relationship?

[Stanley]

i. e Do you have bases in your own relationship?

It's like a baseball analogy for romantic encounters. Keep in mind, though, that it's pretty casual and not everyone takes it super seriously. Here's a quick rundown:

First Base: This usually means kissing. We're talking about the good old-fashioned making out, which can include anything from a peck to a full-on French kiss.

Second Base: This is typically about physical touching over the clothes. It often involves a bit of hand wandering and can include touching and fondling the chest area.

Third Base: Here we're getting more intimate, with this base usually referring to touching beneath the clothes. This can include manual stimulation of the genitals.

Home Run or Fourth Base: This is the big one – it generally means sexual intercourse.

Plus, not everyone uses these terms anymore, and they can feel a bit outdated or juvenile. In any relationship, the most important thing is clear and respectful communication about boundaries and consent, regardless of what base you're talking about.

And of course, this baseball analogy doesn't capture the emotional aspects of a relationship, which are equally, if not more, important. It's all about having a healthy, respectful, and consensual relationship, regardless of how far you 'round the bases'.

if you mean first and second base and all that stuff... I consider that, high-scholl stuff, I never bothered with

if you mean the basis of a relationship, well... I do consider respect, genuine care (not being selfish at all) and proper communication to be the very basics of a better relationship

for me bases mean: how relaxed the couple feels together. first base kiss face cheek or lips. but forehead not first base just lady like it. 2 base means she touch his boob. 3rd base she let him touch her boob.

first base kissing, second base boobs, third base pussy, shortstop oral, home run sex

[purplepoppy]

Handjob
Oral
Sex
Anal
Threesome

Not necessarily in that order

[Miristheiss]

As best I can remember, 1st base is kissing

2nd base is petting and pawing, cupping

3rd base is touching each others genitals

Home plate is sex

[HouseMoat]

First base is usually kissing. 2nd base is usually oral, and third is usually full on sex

Home base, is not a base. IT IS A PLATE. Home is not a base, that's why it's called home PLATE. So, that's why third BASE, is sex

You forget about the bases if you've been hitting nothing but homers every time 😏
