What does it mean to
“get to first base?” What is "second base?" And "third base?" What counts as a
“hook up?” These two graphics are useful
in discussing the idea of sexual scripts.
The first, here, is a playful depiction of the “baseball analogy” of
sexual activity. The second, here, is a
list of analogies built off the baseball metaphor. I find these are fun ways to start a
conversation about sexual scripts.
As an activity, you might assign individuals or groups to draw a baseball diamond and label each base with the corresponding sexual activity (according, of course, to their understandings of the bases). Then, as a class, you can discuss the variations and similarities between individuals'/groups' work. Be mindful that not everyone will be familiar with this analogy--or with the baseball diamond!
