Slavery in Gor?
Slavery in gor is not fake, it is not easy, it is not always the "cream of the crop". It takes time to learn, time to mold yourself to what is expected, hard to learn over past habits and create good ones.A Gorean slave is ALWAYS at the mercy of their owners. They are to be fully pleasing in all ways to ALL free. That's right! Not just to your Owner alone, but to EVERY free person.
what most slaves do not realize, and I personally have come to realize, is that even if the negotiations are made before the collaring such as "I promise to you that I will not let anyone else touch you sexually but me." are not the Master's obligation to carry out. Three days later, you are given for the eve to please another Master, and you have absolutely no regulation over what happens.
Owning a slave in Gor?
this way isn't any easier as being a slave it's self.Good owners are just far and few these days now that people believe that they have a window drapery thing (swag) and can't even use proper grammar, get in trouble with the law, and are down right a "questionable" person as many parents would say. I'm not saying that people who wear shirts that say "swag" on them are not the Master type. But we all make assumptions of people before we even talk to them, i do that, and i really should stop as i am a slave...anyways...aside from this "pop culture" but the gentlemen of yesteryear are FAR gone.
Free often have a VERY off or unrealistic view of what owning a slave is like. An "easy breeze" to just ya know go out there and own a whole damn harem of girls! As i stated before, the free have absolutely no obligation to truly care or give a damn about a slave. Though, as a slave is still a human in every way even if they are viewed as property and objects, it would be outright foolish to not care about something that you own. It also makes you look like an asshole.
of course, a slave needs care, some form of attention to thrive within to become more pleasing. If you don't pay any attention at all truly to your slave, they are likely to stop being pleasing. Teaching a slave the first time the right thing and taking extra time to train them correctly is worth more then having to punish them every time they do something.
Conclusion?
Neither being a slave or a Free in Gor is easy. It takes work, sadly there are crappy slaves out there. There are also crappy Owners.
Well written and I would agree upon everything that has been written. It takes more than following blindly and even more to be able to care and control ones posession. Gor is harsh, However it is even more emotional and loving than most other situations. To truly put your life in another's hands and to be there to guide, train and affect both punishment and reward is a hard thing to do. It takes a man to hold control and it takes a Woman to submit beautifully within the land of gor. There are many roads with sometimes no path and many questions without answers. However a good pair should fill in the blanks together.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in restriction, shared pleasure I believe is the way of things and restrictions form the bonds of selfishness. However if it works then it works but I do not believe being so restrictive is the best path in any relationship. You seem to have the way of things written well and I just wanted to give you my praise on such! Speaking as someone long into gor from the early times in sl and reading the books. There is a harsh side as previously stated but there is also a fine talented beauty..a beauty sometimes lost within paragraphs.
*smiles* thank ye, Jarl. well said on yer part as well!
