Welcome to Gor.

The above quotes are the basis for what Gor is. It is a planet, opposite earth, populated by an alien race known as the Priest Kings. The Priest Kings have outlawed technology, and allowed the natural order to flourish. Men are dominate, women submissive. Women are for the most part slaves, freed as a convenience of their Men. Men are expected to act with Honor, treat all that are deserving with respect, and conduct themselves as the current rules of the region they find themselves in apply. Gor is not nice, no one will coddle you, no one will hold your hand, and no one will spoon-feed you. Still around?

"I learned later that on this alien world a strong man may feel and express emotions, and that the hypocrisy of constraint is not honored on this planet as it is on mine." Tarl Cabot -The Tarnsmen

"On our world there is much talk of persons-- and little of men and women-- and the men are taught that they must not be men and the women are taught that they must not be women. I do not speak of the words that are used, or how men of Earth would speak of these things, but of what is not spoken, of what is implicit perhaps in what is said and taught. But what if the laws of nature and of human blood were more basic, more primitive and essential than the conventions and teachings of society-- what if these old secrets and truths, if thruths they be, had been concealed or forgtten, or subverted to the requirements of a society concieved in terms of interchangable labor units, each assigned its functional, technical sexless skills. What do you think woud be the result? Our Earth." -Tarl Cabot Nomads of Go
