Welcome to Gor
You have chosen to step foot into the world of Gor and you have chosen
to do such as a Free Woman of Gor. If these are not your first
steps and you have been around for a while you are still most welcome
to my site. I am not an expert by any means. I do not
profess to have every answer for the many challenges that face a free
woman in her portrayal of herself on Gor. I only profess to have
an undestanding of the world and cultures of that world. My hope
is to see this site grow into something that is a living, breathing
help to women. I wish women to submit their own thoughts and I
will have a forum for women about topics of interest to Free Women of
Gor where we can share our thoughts, feelings, ideas and triumphs.
Gor is a harsh world. Its beauty is its primal nature. It is a world of strength. The Free Woman of Gor is no different. Her strength is more subdued than that of the men. It is often a softer strength. They are no where near as physically powerful as a man and would never think to be. Even the strongest of Panther Girls and Talunas respects the sheer physical strength of a Gorean man. The strength of a woman comes from within her. It is her intelligence, her cunning, and her wit. These are her strengths and these are also her tools, her weapons if you will. In this site I hope to explore the often contradictory nature of free women as well as the complexity of them. There is no 'mold' or formula to the perfect free woman. Each, like a snowflake, is unique in her own way. There are cultural issues and limitations that the woman must be aware of. How she thrives in those restrictions is entirely up to her.

Why No Quotes?
This site has no quotes on being a free woman for a variety of
reasons. My largest reason is that there is no replacement for
reading the books and gaining the information in context. A quote
can be plucked from any source and taken out of context to prove any
point. This is commonly done with Gorean Quotes. I would
rather have a forum for discussion than to take quotes and imply upon
them my own meaning. I might just do that in my blog and I might
do that on the boards but I will not do that here, on this site.
There are twenty six books of Gor to date. Each book reflects the growth of its starring characters and is often told through the eyes of that character. The world of Gor, in early books, is seen through a transplanted man of earth that is learning what it means to be Gorean. His perspectives, in those books, are consistant with that mindset. His perceptions in later books swing to a more Gorean take as he learns what it is to be Gorean. This creates the famous "contradictions" that many people will speak of when they discuss the individual quotes. There is no contradiction. There is growth. It seems contradiction when it is taken out the overall context and that is what sparks much of the confusion in those trying to learn Gor. I can only suggest reading the books for yourself and coming to your own understanding in that way.
