Baseball metaphors for sex

In American slang, various baseball terms are often used as euphemisms or metaphors for sex, especially to describe the degree of physical intimacy achieved. In the most common metaphor, first prevalent in the aftermath of World War II, sexual activities are described as if they are actions in a game of baseball. Baseball has also served as the context for other metaphors about sexual roles and identity.
