I haven't seen anything gore an in my short time here. What's up with that
Welcome to the forum.
To my knowledge, there aren't many people on this forum who use those books as the foundation for their BDSM. If you want to discuss Gor, start a discussion (as you have here) and people will reply.
Sure it is!
I have a massive problem with most of the hetero-normative assumptions that fuel most Gorean groups. But damn, the protocol is pretty to see.
I'm not following.I tend to think of it more like a deeper look at one part of a bigger picture, more the reason why slavery is a pillar of Gor and not that intimacy is focused on straight relationships. It does give you something to think about though

Not exactly, but-- I'd rather not talk about what i don't like, and listen instead to what people do like about the systemMaybe I mis understood I thought you didn't like that the relationships were just between men and women?

Why is slavery being a pillar of Gorean society an important thing, to you? I only ever figured it was because the notion got John Norman's nuts boiling...
I'm not Stella, but I must admit your comment confused me, as well.
I will admit up front that I have never read any of the Gor books; my only knowledge of the series (and its impact on practitioners of BDSM) if from online discussions and/or references.
But HOW does a work of science fiction, give one a "deeper look at one part of a bigger picture"? For the most part, it appears practitioners of Gor are very focused on slave positions, kinds of [female] slaves, and protocol... most of which I presume are difficult to incorporate into daily life.
Perhaps I am too pragmatic, or not nearly creative enough, but I struggle to understand how such a ... particular... view of slavery translates into the modern world and daily life of BDSM relationships?
Well, that does sound extra special.
When I was a little younger I started to buy into the whole "to be the best slave you have to not care if you ever experience pleasure or happiness again as long as you're pleasing your Master". Then I realized that I thought it was BS. Guess I'm not a slave
Way more then you know he nods
I apologise for the snark-- too much family yesterday . I realise you are speaking about your own personal mythos, and I have no right to pass judgement.
Try fetlife.com (if you haven't already)No worries, my intent with the thread was to see if any others were were around here, seems not much so its on its way to the bowles of the lit archives

There really isn't, I'd suggest fetlife, too.
There are a few gor threads in the library, if you're interested.

If you can imagine wanting to be nothing more then a pleasing slave, regardless of who your master is, you might understand how its not only a sought after commodity but when the responsibility is known and with the right Master it makes for a passion like no other....slaves may be at one time treated like a bag of potatoes they have no rights, but a true slave would never want any. The protocols and potions are there for the slave to show her devotion. As far as the deeper thing goes I have heard many think of Gor as a small part of BDSM I meant my focus was there
Over time I realized that the pleasure I got was not from being pleasing and such, but from being correct. I eventually learned that I was in no way, shape, or form a true slave.
