From the Lurid to the Turgid

First published on 4/4114/2009. And ... nothing else I have found in SL is nearly as much fun as SL Gor, though steampunk sims tend to be great fun.

She was turned into a Sex Slave on the Rue de Montmartre by ruthless French human traffickers who got her hooked on escargot!”

In my article on Second Life Gor, the imagery and the text leaned heavily toward Gor, because that’s what I like. But as I tried to make plain, you can go ANYWHERE with the DiD imagery you like in Second Life, because there ARE no rules about sex and bondage, and because there’s a large kink community outside of Second Life that provides lots of non-Gorean bondage imagery. So I’ll lay on a few examples from time to time, like this lurid Lifetime-style sex slavery image. Of course, the Lifetime Channel would never go for imagery this naked … and that’s ANOTHER reason Second Life rocks.

Conan The Barbarian ... of Gor?

Sure looks like it!

Well, Conan isn't really a Gorean, according to Volumes 1 and 2 of Savage Sword of Conan, a trade paperback reprint of what many consider to be one of the finest comics of the 1970s in terms of the quality of the artwork and the stories, which I review in this article on my site.

If given a choice between binding and gagging a captive or a slavegirl and not doing so, Conan would choose not to, all things being equal, because it was less bother. Not that he has any OBJECTION to binding and gagging women if it seems to be the right thing to do ... he kidnaps them, after all.

Conan also seems to take the consent of slavegirls for granted, at least, those whose skills are sexual. He pimps out one slavegirl as part of a scam to pass her off as a princess and collect a fat ransom for her. In a lot of respects, not just the sexual ones, Conan is NOT a nice guy.

However, the Savage Sword of Conan stories are so beautifully drawn and told that frankly, I just didn't care. It was a feast for the eyes and the mind. Check out my article if you don't believe me.
