Alright then, if the music is too much of a mystery, I'll spell it plain as day... and take the opportunity to fix my typographicals.


As a gorean Head of household, (or simply a member of such a household) do you find it at at useful to conduct yourself in your home AS IF the world outside of your home was literally Gor, of gold, steel and the bodies of women, etc...rather than Earth, the planet we live on? Obviously there are limits to how far this can extend past one's threshold without attracting unwanted attention, and the few places on earth where some slavery is normative ISIS, parts of the ME and Africa don't otherwise make for good living (nor broadband access, so they're something of a black hole to this forum.)

My question is: Do you employ the 'useful fiction' in any respect, that slavery may be normative outside of your own walls/fences?

If your slave has internalized that she is a slave vs. most everyone else in the world is a 'Free person', you don't need to do anything. When i was in that specific 'Gorean' mindset, i would go to the grocery store, and realize that the cashier checking me out was a Free person, and i was not. Perhaps you could point that out to your slave if she doesn't realize that yet.

Greetings tamaka.

How did you interact with the free during this time? How did you address that free person who checked you out? In other words, did you wear your collar on the outside or was it hidden in your thoughts and desires?

Greetings.

Most of my experience with others outside of the household was more of an internal 'awareness' than any sort of physical manifestation (i didn't kneel or anything outside of the home). But i did call the 'free' ma'am or sir, including people like cashiers etc. It wasn't anything i was used to, being from the North, but it was pretty easy to adapt to, especially since my Master lived in the South. I also would do things like bag my own groceries (if there wasn't a bagger). I might still do that nowadays but back then, if i helped the cashier bag the groceries i did it because i felt that was my place to do so vs. thinking i was doing the cashier a favor.

I suspect it is hard to treat everyone you meet on the street as if they are your better unless you do not think of your chosen and natural direction as a ranking but instead an opportunity. I think one is negative and the other is positive, one destroys you and the other uplifts you even is one might think of you as submissive or even "slave", "slave" to your natural direction only in a manner that you feel is best for you in achieving happiness.

How well did/does this very long distance relationship work out for you and the other side of this equation?

I wish you well.

I enjoyed reading your prompt response. I know a woman (that is perhaps) much like you. She once or thrice begged for one of those permanently locking metal ring collars, I forget the brand now, you might know. They were beautiful but I did not allow it although I could see she admired one like it on a another woman we knew who wore one all the time including out to dinner with us (and her master). My other half did wear her leather collar out at times and I know she never thought of the Free as her betters but instead as you do/did. Always positive in her natural self. I find such women extremely genuine and sensual, how can they be otherwise. I suppose the books were correct in that regard about the kajirae.

I suppose I have lurked long enough. I do and have enjoyed your postings when I am on here.

Well wishes.

Good morning to everyone, and tal on a case-by-case.

This question is addressed to really only two of the three possible demographics with respect to gorean lifestyles: those who live it, and those who aspire to. Any neither-dwellers please stay visual rather than digital.

A a gorean HOH, (or simply a member of such a household) do you find it at at useful to conduct yourself in your home AS IF the world outside of your home was a little more heavy metals and a little less rare earth? Obviously there are limits to how far this can extend past one's threshold without attracting unwanted attention, and the few places on earth where some slavery is normative don't otherwise make for good living (nor broadband access, so they're something of a black hole to this forum.

I don't mean something silly like "you'd better not run away or the local slave catchers will bring you back and charge me a fee!"

I'd love to read what you all do, if anything, in this regard. I'll contribute from my own experience afterwards, but as usual, I'm going against the Gracian principle, and letting my answers be corrupted rather than yours. Suffice to say that gor's influence on my household is I'd like to think much more in spirit than letter, as my knack for contraption would have yielded the blue death many moons ago.
