In Case of Emergency ...

There's one in every building on Gor ...

Image source: tumblr site, no attribution. I did a Google image search and a tineye search and found a number of sites, some of which were of the sort that had me wondering if my virus protection was up to date. In fact I did a search for the name of one of the sites that the photo was tagged with and got a hit that suggested it spread Trojans. And most of the sites did not look like the sort that create original content, they looked like sites that grab others' content and rebrand it as their own, if they even bother to do that. So, I'm not recommending any of the sites I found to my readers. If anyone knows who originated this image let me know and I'll give them credit.

The Appeal of A Collar

First published on 2/4/2013

That's one big honkin' collar on that slavegirl! Image source: Sex and Submission.com.

Not until I had been playing Gor for a while did I come to understand the appeal of collars. For securing slaves in positions in which they can be used with impunity, wrist cuffs, ankles cuffs and head harnesses are much more useful. But collars have a nice visual appeal. They identify the wearer as a slave, an animal, especially big honkin' metal collars like this one that can't POSSIBLY be mistaken for a necklace (as some slave collars are clearly designed to be -- once again, plausible deniability!).

In combination with chains and a gag as seen above, it's just incredibly fricking hot. Helpless and gagged.

I guess my general aversion to collars is a matter of safety ... necks are very fragile things, securing people by them is dangerous, if you don't know what you're doing, and really, even if you do. But they do have a certain slavey quality that lends them (and their wearers) great visual appeal. I imagine that the fashion of wearing necklaces got started as Roman matrons grew tired of watching their husbands ogling the sexy slavegirls slinking past in their sexy, sexy collars. Next thing you know, necklaces are all the rage, but here's the thing ... the REASON collars are sexy is that the wearer is a slavegirl, and may be used as one wishes. And I'm betting that the first free women that adopted that hot, sexy, scandalous necklace fashion, was signalling to her husband that he could treat her like a slavegirl in bed. Nice! Of course, I'm just theorizing here ... but such FUN theorizing!

That's what you get for wearing one of those newfangled necklace collars! Image source: Sex and Submission.com.

Slave Girl Rigged For Transport

"We told her there was a pony at the end of her journey. We did not tell her she would be the pony." Image source: Artwork by Greta Heron on Deviantart.

Found another excellent artists mining the treasure trove of imagery provided by the Gor novels, and more particularly Gorean roleplay on Second Life, which is arguably the most important venue for Gorean anything nowadays, with tens of thousands of active players and God knows how many former players.

It may not sound like much compared to something like World of Warcraft, but you have to realize that the marketing budget for Second Life Gor roleplay is this: $0.00. In fact, Second Life never promotes this popular roleplay venue on their grid, because of you know, all that crazy sex slavery and maledom/femsub stuff that goes into it. (Never mind that Gor Evolved, the most popular brand of SL Gor roleplay, is mostly about the combat.)

Point is, SL Gor has more of a negative marketing budget going for it and yet continues to thrive, mainly because it's fun for grown-ups.

And Greta Heron is one of a number of artists on Deviantart who use the Gorean roleplay and stories as sources of powerful, vivid, sexy imagery. This art is very much by the book: it's mentioned that slaves were often hooded, collared and chained together when they travelled. In fact, it's not QUITE by the book as the books also claimed that the slaves were gagged as well (with gags built into the hoods). Very nice bit of imagery with the two fellows leering at the unseeing slave as she passes. She has a bit of a smile on her face, perhaps they made a few comments about her as she passed.

As you can see, this art has the Deviantart logo on it, but if you go to her gallery and buy one of her prints, etc., you can get the art without the logo. Even if you don't lots of other naked women in bondage to see in her gallery. So ... check it out!

Virtual Slavegirls Of Second Life

First published on 3/25/09. The frist post about Second Life on my blog ... heralding a distinct drop in productivity in the near future ...

So virtual … and so hot! (Notice it’s nose ring and clit ring compatible. Now, that’s multitasking!

The artificial cyberspace world known as "Second Life" (think "World of Warcraft" for grownups, where people design their own scenarios) has a very large and active group of roleplayers who like to participate in sims based on John Norman's Gor novels.

A goodly percentage (some say the majority) are women who like to roleplay at being slavegirls at least part of the time. Possibly much of the time. They have an enormous range of costuming available from virtual clothing designers. How do they dress? Exactly the way I say sexy slave girls should dress in sword and sandal/sorcery movies. It’s like regular people like the sexy and Hollywood doesn’t. I thought the media was pushing the sexy onto an American public that has no interest in it. What’s going on? And what implications does this have for sword and sandal/sorcery movies?

Are Waitresses Slavegirls?

First published on 10/12/2008

"Hi, I'm Maggie Gyllenhaal, I'll be your paga waitress tonight. What would you ...? The alcove? Yes master, right away master." (Grumble Grumble.) "Doesn't anybody eat or drink anything when they go to a restaurant any more?"

For October 12 we update Bondagerotica with an article which answers a question no one has ever asked, except for harried waitresses on busy nights: "Are Waitresses Slave Girls?" We pay particular attention to the concept of paga slaves as developed by John Norman in his Gor novels, as a demonstration of what waitressing would be like if waitresses WERE sex slaves. We don't particularly address what would happen if Maggie Gyllenhaal were a paga slave confined to an alcove for a customer, as seen above. We leave that as an exercise for our readers. Don't wear yourselves out!
