A new survey tried to figure out the “sex bases.” The consensus is: First base is kissing . . . second base is touching private areas but not genitalia . . . third base is hands below the belt . . . and a home run is sex. The survey also found that 74% of people learned about the bases from their friends or from TV . . . but 1% learned from their parents. And the average age they learned about them was between 11 and 15.
