Meeting Summary: Open Gorean Discussion & Philosophical Debate
Date: March 19, 2026
Location: En'Kara, Scribe Tent
Host: Lady Kati Evans
Core Theme: The Tension Between Book-Canon (BtB) and Community Evolution
The session was a dynamic "ask-me-anything" style discussion that primarily focused on how ancient Gorean principles apply to modern roleplay (Second Life) realities. The conversation highlighted the friction between those who strictly follow John Norman's texts and those who believe the world must expand to include "life" not captured in the books.
Key Discussion Points
Caste and Companionship:
The Power of Caste: Discussion arose on whether High Caste individuals can companion Low Caste ones. Kati noted that High Caste men often "lift" a woman to their level, whereas Free Women feel more confined by their ranking.
The "Warrior's View": Gareth cited Slave Girl of Gor, noting it is historically unseemly for a Warrior to companion a Merchant’s daughter, reinforcing the harsh hierarchy of the world.
The "Couching Law" & Male Slaves (Kajiri):
Legal Nuance: Kar raised a question about Free Women owning and using male slaves. Kati clarified that the "Couching Law" (becoming a slave for lying with one) traditionally applied to a woman lying with another's slave, not necessarily her own property.
Cultural Perversion: Zsa-Zsa noted that sexual use of a male slave is often viewed as a "perversion" in traditional Gorean terms, though the modern community has developed its own norms regarding male slaves (twinks in silks), which traditionalists like Gareth and Duncan Willis argued are "deviant Earth constructs" not found in the books.
The Role of the Praetor:
City-Specific Roles: Trygg Tyran questioned whether a Praetor is a judge or a corrupt tax collector. Kati observed that the role varies by city—some use them as administrative Scribes at the docks, while others see them as merchant-focused officials.
The Home Stone vs. Modern "City Hopping":
Commitment: The group discussed the "epidemic" of people moving cities or "storming off in a huff" when they disagree with leadership.
Gorean Reality: Kati and Gareth agreed that in true Gorean culture, the Home Stone is one’s "life and breath," and such easy abandonment of one’s city would be unthinkable to a true citizen.
Philosophical Conclusion
The meeting closed with the consensus that while the books are the authoritative core, the community must sometimes fill in the gaps for "daily life" (like ingredients for a cook) to prevent the roleplay from becoming stagnant. However, as Kati noted, the principles behind the words are what truly matter.

Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Again what I seem to recall :From
Priest-Kings of Gor (Book 3 in John Norman’s series, around pages 63–67
depending on the edition):“This harsh treatment, incidentally, when she is
thought to deserve it, may even be inflicted on a Free Companion, in spite of
the fact that she is free and usually much loved. 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 Companions.
Thus when she has
been irritable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself
at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones,
stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to a slave ring precisely as
though she were a lowly slave girl. It is the Gorean way of reminding her,
should she need to be reminded, that she, too, is a woman, and thus to be
dominated, to be subject to men. Should she be tempted to forget this basic
fact of Gorean life the slave ring set in the bottom of each Gorean

couch is there to refresh her memory. Gor is a man's world.”

end.

is significant to claim status from companionship..I never find in the texts
this sort of fascination with the line

differs in the earth society as opposed to the Gorean society

there has been growing discussion about Free Women owning and using male
slaves, particularly the belief that such actions may bring shame upon her.
Does Gorean law forbid a Free Woman from doing as she wishes with her own property? Couching law - Any free woman who couches
with, or prepares to couch with, a male slave, becomes herself a slave, and the
property of the male slave's master."
Does the Free Woman become her own Owner? Since she owns the male slave?

Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): And they also got drunk in Ar at kajuralia
[2026/03/19 10:57]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): So house slaves played a role

Kati Evans: Hum, well some common sense would have to play into what a
scribe would write.
[2026/03/19 10:58]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I agree
[2026/03/19 10:58]
Duncan Willis: Got to keep a few kajirus aroung to breed the female
slaves
[2026/03/19 10:58]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): I have long argued that something
not covered in the books might be simply neglected as it was assumed....I do
not believe you can create an alternate philosophy..because you don't like what
the books say
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Duncan Willis: People do not read the books 90% at least have never
cracked a cover
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): There are, as has been agreed by most of us
today, Gareth's point that Norman covered what he needed to cover to tell the
story.
[2026/03/19 10:59]

Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I agree.
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I do have another question if there is time.
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Duncan Willis: Again and again in book after book
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): This is...I have found to be
true....they don't see the need to...because they believe they dont need to
[2026/03/19 10:59]
Kati Evans: Quickly
[2026/03/19 11:00]
Kati Evans: What is your question?
[2026/03/19 11:00]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Oh and for some.....it interferes
with the the game they wnt to play
[2026/03/19 11:00] ꝀȺɌ (karisima.stein): I asked a
question.. even if silly
[2026/03/19 11:00]
Duncan Willis: Twinks in silks never happed in the books not ever
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Very true
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Duncan Willis: That is degenerate deviant earth culture
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Kati Evans: The male with a coin box ... I am not sure he would make
money as he is the lowest of all and least liked.
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Duncan Willis: Does not belong on Gor
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Agreed
[2026/03/19 11:01]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): But our community has come to
accept it as a whole
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): And my final question is to get your opinion
on the epidemic of opening and closings of cities that seems to be the case in
Gor currently.
[2026/03/19 11:01]
Duncan Willis: He'd be killed and tarsk bit paid for damages
[2026/03/19 11:01]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): By and large kajiri and m/m
sexual relationships have becoem accepted
[2026/03/19 11:02]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Oh I dont think their is universal
agreement on that
[2026/03/19 11:02]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): I certainly dont
[2026/03/19 11:02]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): We lost that debate a decade ago
Gareth
[2026/03/19 11:02]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): but then I think the books are
authoritative
[2026/03/19 11:02]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): I have been arguing it for
longer....and my logic is solid
[2026/03/19 11:02]
Kati Evans: Here in Gor now.
There seems to be a growing reaction that if you don't like the city you
are in you move.
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Oh thats fair enough
[2026/03/19 11:03]
shar Jacobson (shar.boxen): is online.

Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): It is not my place ot tell people
what they can do with what they own
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): I just won't go there
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Scimitars, Tharna, Olni, and others, Caer
Cadarn have been around for years but lately it seems like cities open and
close, people are banned, and people storm off in a huff.
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): it really is that simple
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Is that something that we just have to live
with.
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Kati Evans: That is not how things would have worked in Gor. Not with their commitment to their Home
Stone.
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): That has been going on since IRC
days
[2026/03/19 11:03]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): Well thats speculation
[2026/03/19 11:04]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): I don't leave my homestone
because I disagree with soem decisions it takes
[2026/03/19 11:04]
Kati Evans: Being part of a Home Stone was and is a Gorean's life and
breath.
[2026/03/19 11:04]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): The commitment to a Homestone is far
more than anything that exists on Earth...it is certainly more than the idea of
a nation state frome the treaty of Westphalia
[2026/03/19 11:04]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): i agree with that, but of course, we are
essentially creating fan fiction, and this is SL and so people are free to run
around like idiots.
[2026/03/19 11:04]
Duncan Willis: HOME STONE 2 words
READ A BOOK
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I think that is unfortunate but true
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): True...as I say...I just wont go to
those places that are opposed to my view
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Charlotte Windsor: hehe
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Duncan Willis: Enough bosk dung
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): and apologies...thats an old habit
from many years ago......along with capitalizing Men....I did mange to stop
typing A/all
[2026/03/19 11:05]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Anyway, we are 5 minutes over, and Kati still
has the floor for her next presentation. Daily Life and Culture.
[2026/03/19 11:06]
Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Kati the floor is yours
[2026/03/19 11:06]
Kati Evans: Well I am five minutes into my next class. So I want to thank all of those here for
listening and participating in the open discussion. Now let's switch to the class.
[2026/03/19 11:06]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): Well I accept that there are
people who visit my homestone or sometimes even live there, none at present,
whose words and actions I don't think reflect the ways of Gor
[2026/03/19 11:06]
Kati Evans: Thank you, Trygg.
[2026/03/19 11:06]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): But my homestone accepts them
and I would dishonor my homestone to try and put my opinion above it
[2026/03/19 11:07]
Kati Evans: /me looks for the scroll I need.
[2026/03/19 11:07]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): So when a kajirus comes to my
inn and begins his attempt to seduce me, I suimply use my wooden spoon
[2026/03/19 11:07]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): I use it to point to a corner
and say "go kneel over there quietly until someone calls on you"
[2026/03/19 11:07]
lovely little zsa-zsa (emeralina.lisa): which they never do
[2026/03/19 11:08] ꝀȺɌ (karisima.stein): /me brow lifts while listening to those speak of
their Home Stone
[2026/03/19 11:08]
Gareth of The Caer (gareth.hirano): /me chuckles
