According to Mat Devine, "today’s generation is a new breed of lightning-paced, attention-deficient, instant-gratification-seeking, sexually-charged, Frappucino-chugging spaz sluts." Therefore, we must reevaluate the baseball analogy that has previously been used to discuss sexual behavior. After polling high school and college students, Devine suggests these new 'bases':
1st Base : Furious finger-blasting
2nd Base: Anal sex gangbang
3rd Base: Marriage
Home Run: Amicable divorce
Perhaps Devine is writing this with a sense of humor (I sure hope he is), but I found these bases to be quite disturbing. Personally, I would not like to think that today's youth is so over-sexualized that these bases apply to them. Also, stating that "home run" is an "amicable divorce" implies that all relationships will eventually end and the best outcome is a divorce is just grim. I really hope that this new scale will not catch on and become part of everyday discourse.
