ORIGINAL: BrutalAntipathy Bondage: Gor has it's share of this. Even a collar is a form of bondage. If you wish to stick to the books, slaves were often tied in a variety of ways. Discipline: No sense in even covering this one. Plenty of it in Gor. Sadism: Here is where the feud really begins. But do bear in mind that reducing someone to a slave mindset is mental sadism. Furthermore, anyone wielding a whip yet claiming to not be a sadist is both a liar and a sadist. It can be claimed that the whip is only used for discipline, but this is a quite childish outlook. Discipline and pain need not go hand in hand. The simple fact is that the whip wielder desires the two to be used in conjunction. Masochism: Either the women that subject themselves to this lifestyle have at very least a smidgen of masochism in them, or else they have some serious issues that would draw them into this lifestyle. Put them all together, and what do you get? BDSM! Gor IS BDSM. Why else would they have chatrooms and message boards on a BDSM site? Tree points, - There are a largish number of Gorean Lifestylers who also enjoy BDSM activities in either or both private or in public and there are numerous BDSM, D/s and M/s people who also interacting with Goreans.. The Gorean Lifestyle Forum was created here in CM after a poll was taken by the Mods to ascertain if we wanted our own forum. The Gor chatrooms are private chats created by Gorean Lifestylers.

I have one for Home iron Bear and when we have slaves in collars it is designed as the most severp punishmant with other punishments such as corner time, additional work being used in preference. On a pleasure bases the whip will not me used (A five bladed Gorean Slave whip, not a multi or sinple tail as usually used in BDSM).
- You are assuming that slavery is a key element of a Gorean Liufestyle. This is completely wrong and there are Gorean Homes who do not own slkaves for numerous reasosn. Home Iron Bear is one of these with the reason being even on the CM profiles lists, there are only two femal slaves who have a basic interest in Gor and who may or may not accept a poly home in Queensland. Both would need to relocate and at this time I have neither the space nor finances to either help them relocate nor support them. We still have a functional Gorean Lifestyle Home running.... Whilst i am interested to gain practical experience in such things as Shibari (love the beauty of it and the techniques0 and needle play my life and happiness does'n revolve it. I can happily live with out BDSM (Especially with the ongoing disinterghration of Brisbanes BDSM community and the back stabbing going on there, I'm well out of it).
