About John Norman: John Norman is the pen name of John Frederick Lange, Jr. (born June 3, 1931), author of the Gor series of fantasy novels. He is also a professor of philosophy.
A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so.
It is one thing to own a woman, and it is another to have her within the bonds of an excellent mastery.
Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master, though often strict, is seldom cruel. The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one.
The man who respects a woman does not know what else to do with her.
Slave girls on Gor address all free men as Master, though, of course only one such would be her true Master.
According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted free woman.
