Gorean lifestyle is about a way of living depicted in a series of novels written by Author John Norman (published since 1967). Gorean lifestyle emerges from the fictional world of ‘Gor’, a parallel world with our own earth where people from the classical civilization descended and started a life of their own. The series of novels depicting life in Gor created an alternate society with exclusive norms of behavior, relationship between men and women, slavery and even caste system. |
The fictional society carries on the ideals and values of classical society in its novels. Because of which people in present times found it to be fascinating. Among the basic components of the lifestyle what stands out is the way in which slavery has been given importance, the subservient position of women in a man-woman relationship(both social and physical), the way in which caste is depicted (every caste gains equal respect and people are proud of the caste division they belong to).
These novels gained huge popularity, and people were deeply affected by its philosophy. So, much so that, people started shaping their lifestyle according to, that stated in the novel. Over the years the original concepts have been degraded and misinterpreted by people around the world.
The biggest of these manipulations was done when the believers in BDSM (certain ways of human sexual behavior), slated Gorean lifestyle to be a sub part of it, because of similarities between certain ideas about slavery and women’s position. This has caused the ideals to be deconstructed and used in a gory way by people around the world.
However, it is important that in order to understand the fictional lifestyle and be clear of the misconceptions one should read the original novels.
