New Metaphor for Sex

‘I scored last night’, ‘I got to base 1, 2nd base & home run, strike out, pitching, catching’, ‘Any hole is a goal’, ‘if there's grass on the wicket, lets play cricket’. All these sayings are used to describe sexual acts. I’m sure there are many more but have you noticed they are all about competing. Is sex about competing? Maybe if you are a 14 year old boy (or maybe younger these days) bragging to your mates about fingering Courtney Hughes from class East 2, behind the bikes sheds or maybe the girls also do the bragging these days or maybe both. But my point is, with sayings like these, which I know have been around for years, it gives youngsters the impression that sexual activity is competitive.

I think what we need is a new metaphor for sex.

 Maybe something like ‘ We had tapas’ could be the same as base 1-2. You know a variety or little starters (foreplay). 

 ‘ We shared a pizza’ for base 3,that implies it was something you both enjoy and share and lets be honest if you are willing to share a pizza, particularly with extra cheese and chilli’s then it must involve a certain degree of love.


‘We participated in Cheesecake’ would be something very special that you would only share with somebody you trusted implicitly!!!!

I wonder is Pizza is on the menu tonight in my house???????
