They taught you what *they* expected of you. It doesn't make it the One True Way that all people should be dealt with. Can you even *try* to understand that simple point?

now THAT NO ONE ever explained before. THANK YOU.

certainly NOT fantasy... "I" was TOLD growing up it is supposed to be an american FACT.
as to your "why?"...
there is no why TO it. you just SEE IT that way. i am merely SAYING........and HAVE said.....
i am trained and taught there is more to this than fantasy. there is REAL life service and i couldn't get but a few to talk. all it seemed i got...including one domme here that thinks she is IT....that everyone HAS TO live in fantasy coz that's why they come to these boards........
i didnt and don't understand that.
nor do i understand stuff like old men sitting in a grocery deli giving the teen girls a bad time...what's up with THIS?
what is WITH fantasy? i know "I" was taught by my elders AND my 1st domme fantasy is WRONG.........so i ASK.............

This Amuses me. Iron Bear, could you please explain the Gorean outlook on putting the spare on your car on the side of the road when you get a flat...oops...I forgot, they don't have cars on gor...so....how about making flight reservations at the last second for a conference of councellors...oh yeah...no planes either.mmmmmmI guess credit cards and banks are pretty much outta the question too. OK...I understand now.

SirButchTX

Were we on Gor, you’d find an innovative form of transport called carts. Cards are drawn by beasties called Borsk (for the most part). Now these carts have (shudder( wooden wheels so flat tyres are unheard of. However axels do break and when this happens said axel is repaired on the side of the road…Flight reservations would be easy provided you had been taught how to ride a tarn and didn’t let if rip you to pieces for a snack.. However tarns do not like flying over water except for short flights, so anything like crossing the Pacific Duck-pond, you’d need to book passage on a ship. Banks were not uncommon but were more like coin exchanges and notes of credit were not unknown either. Counsellors have no direct reference on Gor but would fit under the High Cast of Physicians….. Really old chap, you’d be better reading the Gorean Lifestyles Forum and look for any of the well-written posts by Leonidas. His dissertations on what the Gorean Lifestyle is and what it entails will enlighten you somewhat I imagine.

I've read the books...which were written on a bet that anyone will buy any drivel if it is marketed properly. The experiment would have failed dismally if a christian womens group had not pitched a fit to the publisher. The author him self was ready to admit defeat when suddenly his books started selling like hotcakes...nothing like possible "censorship" to boost book sales. Further note, the books were originally marketed to pubescent and post pubescent males between about 14 and 19 years of age. I do know quite a bit about the "Gorean" lifestyle my friend and for the most part the Master/slave aspect that everyone is so hot about is only truly found in "Slave girl of Gor". The quality of writing is dismal until the later books when he actually wanted to make money, the story lines lacked any real value or rythmn and made the books difficult to read without feeling several IQ points lower than I know I am. I'm not knocking the "Gorean" mindset but the only real difference between what you do and what countless others do has to do strictly with languistics and not form or function of said lifestyle.

Everything I do is filtered through a Gorean Filter (with the exception of my Counselling/Therapy Practice). But that's a personal choice.

I'm curious about this post. I do pastoral counseling, and my experiences with everything in my life filter the information that I work with as a pastoral counselor. Though the terms used in discussion vary according to whom one is working with, I've found that my experiences in this life (including the Gorean ones), shape the way that I see problem-solving options and the guidance that I provide.

I noted that you said that your counseling/therapy work doesn't go through the filter, and I'm wondering how you manage that, and if there are specific triggers/tools that you use to bypass/neutralize those inputs. I can see times when it might be useful to be able to bypass that filtration, but I've always believed that our experiences are part of what makes us valuable as counselors, so I've never really considered seriously working on bypasses for those experiential filters.
