And only after this, our profound humiliation," she said, "will the men of Ar if it should please them see fit to permit us to be divided into lots, and be branded and collared and sold into slavery throughout the towns and cities of Gor." The slaves of Landa are bound by Gorean Law and the Rules of the City. When submission is complete, as in the modialty of Gorean Slavery, she has no choices, her very life is in the Hands of the Free. The following quotes from the vast works of John Norman, begin to define just how much freedom a slave has, and what to expect should disciplinary measures be required.

But on closer inspection of these spaces, it often becomes apparent that something entirely different is going on. While the online activity bears many of the hallmarks of roleplaying, many taking part don’t see it that way. They see the online characters as a true representation of themselves.

The dancing of the female before the male, that she be found pleasing and he be pleased, is one of the most profound lessons in all of human biology. Others are when she kneels before him, when she kisses his feet, when she performs obeisance, when she knows herself subject, truly, to his whip." Why should I call you 'Mistress'," I asked, "as you are a slave, as I am, and you are not "First Girl" to me?" Sometimes, Masters, as a discipline, rent their girls out to employers to perform repetitious,trivial tasks.' "He that can foresee with his mind is naturally ruler and naturally master, and he that can do these things with his body is subject and naturally a slave… Thus the female and the slave are by nature distinct.”

In one way or another, those living out Gorean fantasies are looking to embrace the key tenet of Gor’s inequality-based morality. Doing so allows them to understand their role in life and thus be fulfilled.Most eastern languages do not insert the vowels, therefore in transliterations "ee" and i" are negotiable. Likewise endings of "a" and "ah". If you do not find your name as a woman's name, try looking under men's name with an ending variation. Inclusion of names does not necessarily indicate acceptability as dancer names, but every attempt was made to find appropriate ones. Those which seemed to be purely religious were omitted. The books are set in a parallel universe called Gor, which has become a platform for Norman to expound his philosophical and sociological views on modern society, taking cues from Nietzsche, Homer, and Freud.

Slaves are not slathered with healing salve. Slaves are not cooed to or given special work assignments because of a brand. Slaves are SUPPOSED to feel the pain; it burns into more than flesh their new status in the world. Too, slaves are often raped immediately after their branding!

Too, Tutina now held authority over her. Tutina wore the talmit, and was to her and, indeed, to several others, it seemed, "first girl." And that authority was exercised over her charges, and particularly over her, it seemed, with a malicious pleasure. She, as the others, had learned to fear her switch. Lifestyle BDSM is used to describe individuals who don’t leave power exchange dynamics in the bedroom. The emotions surrounding consensual dominance and submission have long been explored by humans, but it wasn’t until the Gor books when most of the participants in these activities begin to think they could extend their activities into an all-consuming lifestyle. A Gor sim was established on Second Life in 2005, where users roleplay as characters based on the novels. In it, characters interact in standard Middle Age scenarios, combat, and sexual situations. Stop staring at the handsome master," hissed the first girl. "He is not for you! See what he has chained behind his couch! That is the sort of slave he can command! Why would such a man want one such as you? Now, serve, serve, lazy slut!" Ah! The barbarity! A culture which physically and permanently burns forever a mark into the flesh of a slave girl! To some, slavery would seem barbarian in itself, but to brand a human being would be unthinkable.While there are a significant amount of free women in Gor, many of the novels focus heavily on enslaved females, or kajirae, as they are called in the books. These kajirae and the relationship they have with their owners have become a major part of Gorean subculture. Kajirae have rules governing their language, posture, and clothing. They are completely subservient to the wishes of their owner, including sexually, and must be branded and wear a collar. Gor ( / ˈ ɡ ɔːr/) is the fictional setting for a series of sword and planet novels written by philosophy professor John Lange, writing as John Norman. The setting was first described in the 1966 novel Tarnsman of Gor. The series is inspired by science fantasy pulp fiction works by Edgar Rice Burroughs, such as the Barsoom series. It also includes erotica and philosophical content. The Gor series repeatedly depicts men abducting and physically and sexually brutalizing women, who grow to enjoy their submissive state. According to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Norman's "sexual philosophy" is "widely detested", [1] but the books have inspired a Gorean subculture. [2]
