  People are strange.  Deeply,  deeply strange.  I chanced upon a site called 'Gorean Whsipers' recently,
 after picking up a few Gor books by John Norman.  These books feature a society where most women are slave- girls.  Apparently,  a lot of people of 'parallel sexual orientations' look to these books as a sort of scripture or guide.  This particular site is run by a BDSM community who pattern their lifestyles after the Gor books.
 I don't know if it's all for real,  but I find it deeply disturbing to come across women in this day and age making statements like 'And truly I am -  his -  for as long as he permits me to love and serve at his feet.  or 'The feeling of surrender is peaceful. It's being content .  unquestioning .  always feeling safe .  it's being joyful that you're a slave and grateful for the opportunity. it's the ability to be absolutely trusting of your Master .  it's believing in him even when he makes mistakes.
 ' erkks?  If this is for real,  I do indeed find it DEEPLY disturbing.  I respect everyone's right to choose their own lifestyle,  but. I just don't get this at all.
