ORIGINAL: LadyPact <snipped> when a lot of folks get their first introduction to the leather community ... a lot of them have the feeling of coming "home". There's some kind of spark in them somewhere when they are in the same physical location with leather people the first time, that they know they belong there. That piece to the puzzle all makes sense. So, if I accept that this happens in the leather community, I have to believe it happens in other communities as well. I have to think that there are folks out there who pick up that first Gorean book and say, "Oh My Gosh...... This". It might just speak to them in the same way. <snipped> And how is this different than coming out as gay? <=== Rhetorical question. LOL! Yes, finding one's niche is a profoundly moving experience. The Gor books are profound, but in a different way. Namely, the same way Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" affected me when I was ~ 18 / 19 in college. They both present a Utopian world. They are both attractive in the possibility of leading the type of life explained. And so on, you get my drift. I guess the point is simply "Gor books are fiction." We could list all the wonderful BDSM guides that aren't. And that summarizes my caution to the OP!
