Q. How many Gor books are there? A. TOO MANY!

[baratron]

Oh my god! The Times is reporting about a "sadomasochistic sex cult" that are taking the GOR BOOKS SERIOUSLY!!

At alt.polycon 7, there was a panel where we passed around a book written by John Norman, and the idea was to open the book at a random page and read as much as possible before you started laughing. I opened it at one particular page and couldn't even START to read, I was laughing so hard. It was just that bad. It wasn't even a case of "your kink is ok, but not my kink", I just couldn't see how any rational human being could find it erotic.

So apparently there's a whole bunch of Gor fetishists living in Darlington. I'm scared.

There are all manner of positions to be learned and things. Venture into nearly any BDSM community and hang around for a bit and it'll come up. (And then you can stare and go "you what now?")

Phew ... I must only venture into the right BDSM communities, really, because until I encountered this FOAF I'd never met someone who tried to translate the Gor stuff into real life. Plenty of other fiction-derived kink, yes, but not Gor.

Clearly, you have better luck than I. :)

It's really very wtf? though. (Particularly if you're female and think Gor is silly and run into Gor 'doms'. "No, I am not your slave, I do not want to be your slave, I do not need a Good Man to Teach Me. Please Piss Off.")
