"Freedom is slavery, war is peace". (George Orwell)

You never heard of Goreans? They're like science fiction fans who like their s/m like they do it in those novels. Kind of like Trekkies running around dungeons with whips and chains. Sort of.

Let's consult Wikipedia first, shall we? It says: "Gor, the Counter-Earth, is the alternate-world setting for John Norman's "Chronicles of Gor," a series of 26 novels that combine philosophy, erotica and science fiction.

The customs, terminology and imagery depicted in these books has inspired a related BDSM-influenced subculture. On- and off-line followers of this lifestyle are called Goreans."

Whatever, Second Life Herald has a smart article about The Problems of Gor - Part 1.
