The more I think about it, the more it seems that the whole baseball euphamism scheme had a little more behind it than keeping sex terms innocent. Seems to me it was a scoring scheme that a group of guys came up with to compete with each other in the realm of sexual "conquests". Oh, and I always understood the base system as:
1st: Anything above the collar.
2nd: Anything above the waist.
3rd: Anything but intercourse.
Home: Sex.
