First of all, welcome daddiebear50, nice to have you join us (btw very nice response in the But plug thread ).

As for Gor … you are absolutely correct – it is fantasy world (for better or for worse), but, it seems to me you missed some of the books. While there is obviously the heavy accent on the Master/slave relationship, the dynamics of the power and surrender and love within, the free person, be it man or woman, has a chance and a choice, if the right partner comes along they can form free companionship, which in my understanding equals the marriage in our, less exotic society

I agree that love is a need, but unlike you, I have found many, many different love examples and levels of involvement between characters in Gor books.

The part that captured my attention, was/is the accent on men being Man and women being feminine. Our society has done so much to “empower” women that females lost the femininity. On Gor, the primary reason for woman’s existence is to be pleasing to men. In return she is taken care for, provided for and loved (OK – in most instances, by someone lol). So… there you go – whole lota luvin going on
