My dad owns one. He never read it, it was gifted to him at some point and he just stuck it with his scifi collection. He had no idea whatsoever what those books were actually about.

BWAAAAAAAA.

I read four or five. I'm into BDSM, but even back then, as a 12/13 year old, I bristled at his stupid 'women need this blah blah' crap. Made me want to hit things.

Yup. I like BDSM too. But not the "Women are always submissive, men are always dominant" kind of BDSM that Gor is. Also I like the rules associated with BDSM. Safe, sane, consensual. Gor BDSM gets rid of that.

Yeah, the guy who wrote the Gor books would be/probably was utterly insufferable in real life. Yerk.

Probably. I believe there is a subset of the BDSM community who follows the Gor model where women are always submissive and there are no safewords or rules. I hope the author feels guilty about inspiring that, but somehow I think he might actually be proud of that fact.

Ew.

Yes, there are some Gorians in the BDSM community. Not sure how they actually feel about total power exchange, it's been years.

Yes.

I don't know if it's still true now, mind, but back in the 90s especially, the 'Tuchuks' of the SCA were based off the Gor series.

I've not been a member since 2001, so no idea if that still holds true or not.
