Just read the following quote from 'Outlaw of Gor' pgs 250 - 251 ~

'When I questioned her, Lara had said to me that only when true love is learned is the free companionship possible, and that some women can learn love only in chain'

Whilst the above is not difficult to understand at a basic level, i just felt that it could be open to different interpretation, depending on the reader.

Thought perhaps it could be an interesting topic to discuss, and hear from Free Men, Free Women and slaves alike their thoughts and opinions and what this quote means to them personally.

Just some food for thought and many thanks to anyone who wishes to share their feelings

When she says "true love" she is not talking about the fairy tales or romance novel that society pushes on people but true love, not false love, to truly love some one with all your heart and soul. You need to truly love your partner in a companionship, to respect them and trust them in order to work together to accomplish your goals as a couple. But not every one can love someone in this manner. Some people need guidance (chains) and structure in order to learn. I think that the chains helps humble one self, and show that it is important to care about others and in caring for others is where you will find happiness. This does not go for just slaves but to free people as well and chains don't have to be literal. Chains can be a Homestone, the Homestone (Gor) can tie us together to care about and respect our home, brothers and sisters and not be selfish.

thank you Koa, this was a brilliant answer. i would like to add that personally i feel it is sometimes possible, for a women to 'love' like a free women does... to understand and feel true love but yet still have the slave heart and need for chains plus structure that a Master may give his slave. You didnt say this was or was not the case i know... but just a little feeling that sprang to mind for me anyway.
Thanks again Koa

Things don’t last in our world, how many relationships fail within a short time and so many shrug and move on to the next always complaining that they never find anyone worth while.

But often the problem isn’t the other person it’s the disposable attitude that is. In my marriage there was the initial infatuation then times of love and indifference and for a while even hate followed by indifference and love at various times. In fact the only reason I didn’t leave was because of a promise to my daughter. But out of all those years of infatuation, love, indifference and hate eventually came love, a deep love that I can honestly beats the infatuation of the early days.

Now most won’t hang around during the hard parts, so they never come through and truly see what attracted them to the person in the first place, they ignore the good qualities because of the bad. If you are always seeking the dream you will never be happy with reality.

Slaves in the books couldn’t run, no matter how they felt they had to stay and serve, there is a classic case of a free woman trying to poison her FC and being collared for it, which is usually the basis for the usual mistaken belief of “you’re a woman I can collar you anytime if I want when you’re my FC”. It took the collar for her to learn to love him again, for her to remember what he was that made her initially attracted to him.

But in my opinion the collar isn’t necessary for all, the willingness to look past what you want which is usually unrealistic and a fantasy, find what you need which is often there with you, because there is a good reason there is a quote we all know about greener grass. And to stay through the bad times can lead to a deep, deep love that I don’t think is impossible to experience in any new relationship and scientific studies back me up on the difference between brain waves in a new relationship and long term.

So for some the collar may be needed at first but not for all.
