I have heard these terms being used in U.S movies over the years and have a general idea what they mean ,but not the exact meaning.
So does getting to first base or second base and so on have well known and clear parameters and would someone be brave enough to explain them ,(without getting too explicit as not to offend anyone)and how many base’s are there ?

There are little league fields and major league stadiums. All home runs are not equal.
Yes, it’s very confusing.
Baseball ain’t my game but I always believed that third base was what’s known as a Home run.
Ye need to pay more attention to the vernacular…and the game.

I can’t wait to see what Denny says about what you wrote.
Sorry my fault for not explaining my question properly ,I’m not talking about baseball but the activities of couples in the back seat of their car.

I like your version of the rules better than the real ones. 
According to Simon fourth base is a home run!

With all respect to those who know about these things..

The destination may be the same … It’s the speed of the journey that makes the difference.

This is the funniest thread I’ve read in a bit! 
Meatloaf’s ultimate tune- Paradise by the Dashboard lights says it all…
now listen carefully… (please tell me you can get this on youtube) and you’ll know everything you need to know…
“He never really got to first base with that woman”. Getting to first base is a hit but by no means a score. In romantic jargon getting to first base could refer to kissing and necking. No even getting to first base means that you only shook hands and then you were “out”, off the playing field.
Loud and clear..
