Master Iron Bear,
thank you for your explanation. your view makes much more sense to me now. i can accept the idea of saving a child from a childhood worse than slavery and offering her training and choices. i think that's what you're saying. if so, then i think the ideal you're talking about is fair and gives children opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.

quote:

the picture i had in my mind before your last post was of taking, let's say, a 5 year old from her happy, western, civilized home and raising her to be a pleasure (sex) slave ... not giving her choices ... not allowing her a natural development in other areas of her life. so ... big difference with the horrible images in my head and the explanation of your ideal. thank you again. i'll sleep better now. ... grins ..

as a sidenote ... my belief is that jesus did walk the earth and was, in fact, one of many great teachers. i think the bible is a wonderful book filled with many great teaching tales, but i don't believe that they're all true. i may not be as familiar as you are with the bible. my understanding was that the average lifespan in biblical days was about 30. but wow ... if people really lived to 800 then i guess that changes the length of their childhood too! would you mind telling me where i can find that information in the bible? also, would you tell me where, in the bible, god said it was ok to raise children into pleasure slaves (or even something similar)?
 
thanks in advance.
 
humbly,
sunshine

greeting to all


This is meant not to make other mad or to have anyone be insulted but i think of the slaves of Gorean almost as the slaves of the deep south! They are punished for things they do wrong. No begging or pleading will make the master stop his punishment. They owned and treat as the master see fit. There is a very close realtionship to the slaves of the south and the slave of gor.The slaves of the south were use for sexual pleasure for the master. They were often traded to other households for the use of master there! They had many slaves in each place. they had cooks and laundry slaves houshold slaves. Slaves to watch the babies and childern. My favor subject is hisotry and that means all type of histroy! I went to the library and i bought home so many books many on art other on slavery, oh yes i order the series of Gor books by John Norman too!
But having read many books on slavery I have come to see a very close realtionship with the slavery of the south. They had good master as well as very harsh ones. The other thing is no marriages for some. The men of the south held honor in very high standards so do the Gorean's. Harsh punish was given to slaves who disobey no one or thing could stop the master's from beating the slave in question, no one!

The slaves were held in good standing they were valuable to the master>. But unlike the south the Gorean master keeps a slave who is injure! Slaves are not sold off just to do it for money. You proect your slave against someone misusing them! the goreans let your slave learn. I see many things that are very different but i see one thing that stands out in both groups you own your slaves they have not rights as did the slaves of the south

with so much thought please no one get mad at me it is an opinion

wish all well mons/jane

Well now I know for sure I am blurry from lack of sleep.  I saw that and thought, why would anyone have an addiction to having sex with smelly homeless men?  LOL.  sorry I have lost my mind this morning.  Your right about maturity in some ways.  I am 40 and as mature as a 12 year old, I watch cartoons, laugh at farts, and generally as Ron puts it, acts like a Goof most of the time.  As for the whole sex with anyone under 19?  I am not touching that with a bamboo cane!

Since you guys get a lot out of the gorean books, you should really try reading the Kushiel books, beginning with Kushiel's Dart, by Jacqueline Carey.
