Bellicosa,

This may be my issue with the Gor novels. I was trying to figure out why these novels irk me so much. I've WRITTEN noncon type stories. So I can understand the "fantasy" element for some people.

Besides the overarching gender-based issue of the books, I think it comes down to these women just being interchangeable pieces for someone's fantasy. Most of the efforts at female characterization of anything like human, fall very flat to me.
