What is a slave, really?

Gorean Slaves
Real life gorean slaves are very similar to most 24/7 TPE slaves. The difference is that some of the vocabulary & customs are different between the two. Goreans have different ways of doing certain things (positions is one example) & live more by the philosophy instilled in the Gor books. However, REAL gorean slaves are VERY VERY similar to other slaves--they don't boast about Gor, they don't pretend they are there--they incorporate the gorean philosophy & life into their lives as much as is practical. Gorean slaves generally get a really bad rap in BDSM because of the plethora of o/l "goreans" & some r/l goreans who aren't rooted here on Earth. However, the vast majority of goreans, and gorean slaves in particular, use the Gorean philosophies & adapt them to their lives where possible.

BRAVO! And you knew I would respond to this one didn't ya kiddo? LOL!

Tal all,
I have never claimed to be kajira (the term for Gorean slave girls) because Master has no desire to own me and to be honest, I think that I would be a pretty piss poor slave. But Gor is near and dear to our hearts and we do incorporate the Gorean customs and philosophies and use them in our D/s life whenever possible. I did beg his collar in the Gorean manner, in position and using third person. He, thank the Priest Kings, excepted my submission because on Gor, if one begs a Master's collar and the Master refuses, he has to kill the girl. Phew! But I am far from slave and will never claim to be one. I am Master's kajira-missive and he is my Gorean Warrior. If anyone has a problem with that they can kiss my Tarn. LOL!

delia, that was a thought provoking, extremely well written post. Thank you. I hope it clears things up for those that may have had questions about that topic. "Peace" ~blizz~
