  Gor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
On Gor, men are the rulers and women are sometimes chattel; their interactions often feature what some consider the machismic stereotypes of Gorean society.
The majority of "known Gor", as the Vosk river region in the temperate north of the continent is often referred to, is reminiscent of ancient Greco-Roman city-states in many respects (aside from the delta city of Port Kar, which is a more anarchic and piratical version of Venice).

 What is Gor?
Gor's denizens were transported to that planet long ago, taken from their own time periods on Earth by the alien Priest-Kings, a race of advanced, inquisitive creatures who are the true masters of this Counter-Earth.
It is they who manipulated the geography of Gor, and through the use of unfathomable sciences altered the position of the planet itself, moving it to its current location and keeping it within its selected orbit, providing a stable ecosystem for their research and own safety.
On Gor man is left to his own innate talents and abilities, with indigenous technology seeking to add to the glory of life and humanity, not replace nature and man's own skill with the impersonal ministrations of the machine.

That of woman is at the foot of man," Tarl Cabot thinks while training his slave girl in "Beasts of Gor." "Beasts" is Book 12 in the venerable and controversial "Gor" series of 25 science fiction novels written by John Norman (the pseudonym of a philosophy professor at a respected university in New York).
The lifestyle Goreans also adhere to other rituals, codes and precepts of the fictional Gor, and community sites such as Silk and Steel and the Gorean Public Boards and individual offerings such as the Slave Siren's Page serve as an important means of education, fellowship and recruitment to the lifestyle.
There are also dramatic incidents in the books in which a free woman, overcome with lust for some heroic muscleman, throws off her robes, falls naked to her knees and begs the man to put his collar around her neck and his brand upon her thigh.

 Gor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
On Gor most slavegirls were captured, and have virtually no chance of escape, or to change status by their own actions.
In the Gor books only small boys seem to have sisters; daughters exist only to be enslaved sooner or later; mothers are fairly rare; wives are inevitably unbearable until the husband wises up and enslaves them.
In fact, a very important theme in much of the Gor writing by women is that of freedom, that they have been bullied consistantly by society in general and feminists in particular to fit into an unnatural mold, and to be ashamed of their sexuality.

The parallels between Marlenus of Ar and Julius Caesar of Rome are obvious, but Gor is a much more barbaric world than that of the Roman Empire and one of the fun aspects of reading these books is recognizing the bits and pieces of different warrior cultures Norman has brought to his creation.

So they invent their own world, which resembles the world in the novels, and the ideas of those who are indeed Gorean, only in the most superficial sense, and have the affrontery to call it Gor.

Second, this is the funniest of the Gor books, with the humor coming mostly from conversations that involve the character of Harold the Tuchuk, although Kamchak, also of the Tuchucks, has his moments as well.
It is not far fetched to say that these are two best-developed supporting characters in the Gor series, and I would contend that this is due in large measure to their sense of humor.
The first six novels of the Gor series standup well against the Burroughs novels that obviously inspired Norman in part (there are strong parallels between the first work in each series).

 Gor on Earth: Slave Markings
On Gor, it was much easier to distinguish the free from the enslaved, society permitted and encouraged the use of brands and collars to identify property.
Since no one is guaranteed a permanent ownership, even with the best of intentions, it simply makes sense for the man to permanently mark his property as "slave" but to save the personal markings for something that he can remove when his ownership of her ends.
She knew it was coming, as she does the other markings if and when he chooses to place on her (he saved the kef for her thigh if he decided to brand her later).
