hi Nvernilla,
I am Gorean rl, and yes there are Gorean communities both on and offline. There are also 'commune' like places that live the Gorean lifestyle to a larger degree than can be done in the general community.
Regarding 'rules'. In my experience, rules are not generalized across the community and each master will set what he sees fit for his slave(s) and FC. Punishments harsh...well of course some of the punishments in the books are unrealistic on earth. You can't just go around killing or hamstringing someone for not being pleasing or for wanting to leave. It is still a consenual slavery. I think maybe a better word would be 'strict'. Goreans can be very strict with their slaves, but also very loving. Some people seem to get fixated on the idea of a slave being 'property', but consider how you would care for a '65 Corvette if you owned one (hope they actually made 'vettes in '65..lol). You would cherish it and protect it and never want it damaged. A Gorean slave is treated much the same way.
As far as favourite books, I have to totally disagree with you on your selection. I found Priest-Kings my least favourite. I enjoyed Players, Beasts, Blood Brothers, Savages a lot more.
Thank you for the opportunity to reply to your questions.
