I found out recently, from some highschool teachers, that the “bases” have changed dramatically from when I was in High School in the 80s. For example “second base” now refers to oral sex.

That was stunning for me, and I’m fairly jaded.

I always thought as follows:
1st, kissing
2nd, breast groping
3rd, oral
Home, intercourse
grand slam, all of the above on the first date.

I learned these terms in college, which was only about two years ago; however that’s not to say that the terms are universally defined.

To be honest though, I am not surprised. A number of my classmates were obsessed with talking about sex—most of them girls!

You can thank Bill Clinton. His little escapade legitimized it for "the youngin's".

Second base is oral sex? As of when? I was in high school in the 90’s and “second base” did not mean oral sex.
