Gor

There has been talk about Gor and Goreans on TSR recently. I have read quite a few Gor books and I honestly do enjoy reading them. I find it to be an interesting Sci-Fi/Fantasy series to read. But the keywords here are "Sci-Fi/Fantasy". I do admit that some "ideas" in the Gor books are interesting. For instance, the slave dances that they describe in the books sound beautiful! And I do enjoy dancing for my Master. In fact I did last night and both of us greatly enjoyed it. And some of the "positions" that they describe in the book, as far as kneeling positions, ways to enter the room, etc sound very beautiful as well. And truthfully, Master does have me use some of those.

But one thing that really irritates me is the people who think that Gor is 1) Real and 2) Being "Gorean" (which isn't even possible) is the only true way to be. Lets see here, it is a book series, that reads like a story that portrays itself as real. For instance they mention their own books in the series, "I have heard of Gor. The Tarl sage, but surely that can't be real!" (Or something along those lines, I don't feel like digging up a book to do a direct quote at the moment.

But the people who have basically taken it on as an actual lifestyle (which honestly, would be illegal in the United States) is laughable. I am my Master's property, no one else's. And if a "Master" tried walking up to me, declaring themselves Gorean and then proceeded to bark orders at me, would be laughed at and told "Does it look like I'm wearing your collar?" For one thing, my Master is the one who has gone through the time and emotional investment in training me and Owning me. No one else. Secondly, they did not get permission from my Master to give me an order, which is there for disrespecting Him and not acknowledging the fact that I am His property.

So just to lay somethings out that I have been dying to say to someone who calls themselves a Gorean, but have always bit my tongue on.

  1. You are not an alien. You are not from another planet.
  2. Giant insect looking beings that are called Priest Kings are not going to kill you if you use a cell phone (oooOoo technology... evil! Damn you for using a computer to read this! Or to read a Gorean website (how ironic is that by the way?))
  3. You are not an agent of the Kur or as they are sometimes called in the book series "The Others".
  4. You are not from Ar, you are not from Port Kar, and you sure in the hell are not an Ubar or a slaver.
  5. Just because something is written down does not make it true. (By the way, the sky is actually neon purple.)
  6. Just because you are a male does not make you worthy of the title "Master"
  7. Please.. Please attempt to just walk up to a woman and enslave her and then declare it your legal right. The men in white coats will enjoy putting you in the hug me jacket and the pretty colored pills probably taste really good. (Don't forget to tell them that they will feel the Priest King's wrath for attempting to put you away.)
  8. Just because I am a slave does not mean I am worthless or replaceable.
  9. Not all "free men" are my Masters. I only have One, my Husband.
  10. It is called coffee, not black wine.
  11. I am not going to jump or kneel just because you are in my presence or snap your fingers.
  12. Yes, I am a slave. A real living, breathing slave, but that does not mean you can offer my Master money to buy me. No, not even for a night. (Yes this has happened.)
  13. I will show everyone respect, slaves and subs included, until you give me a reason not to. Barking an order at me because I am a slave, will cause you to lose that respect, unless you have express permission from my Master to do so.
  14. You have a career or a job ... not a "caste".
  15. You do not have the right to punish me, that is my Master's department.
