Yes, Strangeblades has some metal stuff. Yes, you can adapt belly dancer outfits. Yes, you can get custom gear made. But there's no commercial market. (Except in Second Life, where there's a complete line of Gorean clothing.)

I suspect that almost nobody actually does this stuff.

You can buy some gear You just have to really look online to find it. Its hard to find items. Sometimes Ebay gets a nice selection. Its just really hard to find the stuff. I did find a site that sold Kaissa game boards and very nice ones at that.here are several links that do offer a few gorean items.

I admit I've never seen free womens clothing but I've never had a desire to purchase any either.

So I must be missing something would you kindly expound on your thoughts.  I would appreciate learning,

Thanks C.

Master buys his levi's at The Gap, Tshirts from anywhere that has the color and style he prefers, Footlocker carries his favorite tennis shoes and Cabella's provides his hiking boots.  

This same outfit has been seen on most, if not all of the gorean men we know.  All commercial stores *winks*

Since Master's belief is that slaves are not gorean, what I wear didn't seem to fall in with the question asked :)

Best of wishes,

Hi lisa,
 
If i may ask you this question...as it struck a chord in my brain....*silly grins....  Do you then, as a slave, refer to yourself as Gorean and/or kajira, if your Master does not believe a slave (you), to be Gorean?  i'm confused, i was under the impression that you and your Master were Gorean. i was also under the impression that to be Gorean, was to believe in Gorean slavery.  Sorry for any confusion on this question, just trying to understand. *smile

No problems, I hope this helps explain.   Master believes slaves can be owned by gorean men, but cannot claim to be gorean.  That is something allowed only to those who establish themselves as "free".   

I have passed along your questions to Master, whether he replies to you or not I cannot say, however, I got into deep trouble once for speaking on his behalf, so anything deeper then what I stated above needs to come from him :)

Best of wishes,

Status: offline 		I have to ask.  What the heck is a Gorean play party?  I have heard of Gorean gatherings, but play party, what are they playing at?

“great erotic wear” I don’t see the clothing described in the books as “erotic wear” but rather, what Goreans wore on a daily bases.  It’s like saying Roman clothing is erotic wear.  

Almost sounds to me like a custom party with Gorean flavoring being described here.

Psst lisa, great answer btw, though of course I use different stores

Secondly, I "might" need a "Gorean outfit" (whatever the hell that is???) if I were going to a Halloween party and wanted to dress as something different than the normal everyday Klingon outfit I wear.

In all seriousness, most Goreans I know dress like normal everyday folk, in clothing appropriate for the occassion. If I met some that didn't I just might question their sanity a little bit.

IWYW,

The Turian collars, which seem to have been adopted by the BDSM side, are just about the only thing Gorean that really needs to be bought unless you are one of the few people who can work metal yourself. You don't find those things for sale as most Goreans don't use them. We don't do fetish wear and call it Gorean. Those who do have or wear it call it BDSM fetish wear and wear it in BDSM settings.

The real point here is that being Gorean is not a kink. It is not a fetish. It doesn't involve either. It is not part of BDSM so there is nothing there for BDSM merchants to sell as our numbers are too few and only maybe a few players would be buying. Economically non-viable.

Be well....

Yes...I have met them at Pennsic years ago and talked to some of them over the years. I even briefly met a couple of the founders very many years ago. They are not Gorean at all, more fantasy barbarians, but interesting people.

Be well....

Status: offline 		I just have to say, being a part of SCA I have become fond of creating my own outfits. (Of course Im not very good at it but oh well) I have made myself a few silks which were really simple and a slave tunic which was again really simple but my last Dom didnt like them. He wasnt very Gorean. It is difficult to find those who are interested in Gor rt.

Status: offline 		Greetings Masters, Mistresses and fellow slaves, As far as Our house goes, We dress as normal People except when nobody is around. Then  when we are alone and no visitors are over Master keeps me as a clad kajira. I am in the buff. When company comes over He typically puts me in a robe. But out in the public other than wearing a metal collar with a lock I wear regular street clothing or dress clothes depending on the occasion. I don't really have to worry about weird looks in the community as Goth is pretty much the style around here so everywhere You go You tend to see collars. I do get weird looks from the older generation but not to bad that I have to go and run and hide.  That is the only thing noticeable about me that is gorean except when I go swimming then everyone can see my mark. I just ignore any looks I get about it. So as You see some Goreans do dress normally. We don't wear dance gear. (Though I do have it for just in case.) But its not a everyday thing. Girls can go to any pagan stores or flea markets and find belly dancing gear to strike up a nice kajira look if they are lucky to be in a area that boasts a good gorean community. We do here We have about 25 goreans in the area. But most of Our gatherings are in the "norm". The girls stay dressed as Most Masters in the community don't like to show off their kajira's naked bodies. (my Master included.) Most of Us are not exhibitionists. Every home is different. And if they want to have "dress up" for gatherings I see nothing wrong with it. We choose not to but we could if we want to. Just it is not Our thing.

Status: offline 		In the past I  saw several online resources for Gorean whips, slave outfits and other specifically Gorean inspired items. It is a niche market and whether there was enough demand to sustain it I don't know.
I would like to know if any have tried the "Gorean whip" it looked nice but in practice I wonder how it worked on the slaves.
