The Base System: Finally Explained!

Okay, we admit it: we have never, ever been able to keep those “bases” straight. Is third base a blowjob or a handjob? What, exactly, happens on second? And where does anal fit in?

So a big, big thank you to XKCD for finally explaining it all, in an easy, organized manner—now we won’t have to get all embarrassed and befuddled the next time someone asks us to steal second.

    I’ll be sure to bring along a copy of this on my next date and see if we can plan some game strategy for the night!

    This is brilliant. Thanks XKCD! I just had the most furious debate about the four bases with a girl who thought anal sex is not real sex. (See Dan Savage’s latest definition: [www.saddlebacking.com])

    Love the Virginity (Maginot) Line. Nothing like a little military history to help illuminate a sex system.

    Everyone knows “Shortstop” is “Second-&-an-half base”, which is the sliding of the hand between the butt-cheeks. Doesn’t seem appealing, either… But it really works.
