You are trying to compare Gorean slavery to that of TPE and its not plausible there is no comparison because in order to compare the slaveries, you have to first identify Gorean and to do that, slavery is not a part of such a concept. Therefore, slavery is an existance of a woman in terms of Gor because of the Man being Gorean, he then holds her to certain expectations and standards BECAUSE his identification and understanding of what being Gorean means guides him in his beliefs of womemn and how he allows them to exist in his life. Its also a very mastery and enslavement based concept that strips the consensuality concept of what most seem to rely on from the choices a girl may have if that mastery and enslavement is accomplished. Its also a very sexual and sexuality based slavery, women are slaves usually whose complete purpose is to serve the ultimate pleasure of Men (not just Master) and this is accomplished in many different ways, who are very primitive and very sexual in nature.
To me, comparing Gorean slavery to TPE is two very different focuses and aspects, one is created from a concept outside the slavery (i.e., a Man is Gorean without the slave - a slave is held in Gorean slavery because of the Man) and the other is created because of the slave as you need a slave to exchange power i believe.
The duty of a Gorean's slave is absolute obedience and exquisite beauty and the former usually brings about the latter. A Gorean Man once told me
The beauty of a slave girl is
beauty which extends to everything.
There is a sense in which she is kept, as slave,
to bring beauty into the lives of Men
who might neglect it otherwise.
Many don't like the concept of Men in slavery -- however Gorean slavery is all about the men and not just the Man even though your Master is your ultimate focus.
So all in all, its the Man who owns the woman who creates the Gorean aspect of the slavery its Men she exists among as slave. If you don't have a Gorean man holding you in slavery you well aren't and won't be a Gorean slave or live in Gorean slavery until you do. There are mindsets a Gorean slave learns and lives by because of how she is held by a Gorean Man and because of same. These mindsets are ones you find a lot in most Gorean slaves because Gor usually has some pretty standard perceptions, understandings and definitions and views of people and themselves and that trickles down to the slavery and the mindsets created. Its usually a perception of her place not only with her Master but among other Free as a whole, its a status of being more so than an individual state of being. A Gorean slave perceives the world from her knees because that is the only way she is allowed to do so. If you observe Gorean slavery -- hell if you live it even -- much of it is not a fair concept, its not a respect concept, and its not a equality concept, its simply a He is Master I am slave mindset that isnt easy for many to understand why a woman would need to live in such a way to a Man and well yes, Men in general.
Its a type of slavery that is defined by the Man because of who he is and what he identifies as and applies to his life. There is a standard and expectations of Gorean slaves when they are among others that is pretty traditional throughout Gorean Free. But in the individual relationships, unless you know the generality of how Gorean Men perceive things on a very BASIC level, most people would not necessarily be able to decipher a Gorean slavery from a i would say extreme TPE concept.
This is barely touching the surface of the concept of Gorean slavery, but if you really want to learn it, find a Gorean man to become a slave to and you will understand it not just go through the motions of same. If that makes sense. To understand Gorean slavery -- you have to live it, otherwise you are simply trying to interpret concepts observed or read about.
It is really very simple lol i promise despite the length of my post. The two ideas may cross and look alike doesn't mean that the make up and reason for being is the same and therefore, the concepts are very different, or they may not be because the concepts that create the two are similar. However, the biggest concept of Gorean slavery that is and always will be different from TPE is the concept of Gor and identification of Gor. Also, Gorean slavery is not a "no limits" slavery -- its not really thought of in that aspect or shouldn't be because its misleading, it is a uncompromising slavery on many levels.
