Not a problem, unless I see some blatantly incorrect deinfitions again.

actually though not all people who consider themselves involved in BDSM practice power dynamicxs therefore that being the reason that Goreans dont identify with it wouldnt really be right, but i know that being Gortean doesnt mean having any power dynamic,kink or anything of the sort im just being pedantic

My point was use Goreans as being a sub-culture that is a little more defined in nature and organized. However, much of the same can be said for a number of sub-cultures. It basically just means being a little less generalized.

For instance there is a distinction between a Gorean Slave and a Gorean Freewoman. The Goreans accomodate for both. What interesting is there are common creeds or beliefs on how Goreans should conduct themselves. This is a general guideline of thought that more Goreans are aware about. There are aspects of the Gorean lifestyle itself that surpass kink and go into a way of living life. Mottos and Creeds to live and conduct day to day life by. Not some something that serves it purpose for scene play or when in the bedroom with their partners.

I focus on finding partners who have the same ideas and philosophies that closely match my own. Notice I said ‘closely’ as both S. and R. do have some differing views/philosophies than I do. Those views are fun to debate but we accept what is different and embrace our similarities.
It doesn’t matter in our relationships what other groups may think; the three of us make up two separate groups and our goal is to have fun doing what we do.
