Just learned that author John Norman is still alive and appears to still be self-publishing sci-fi slave bondage smut in the Gorean Saga, even though he's in his 90s now.

The series is celebrating it's 60th anniversary this year.

Fukin legend tbh

"Slave dance, that form of dance, in its thousands of variations, in which a female may excitingly and beautifully, marvellously and fulfillingly, express the depths and profoundities of her nature." – Magicians of Gor

Reading some Carl Jung recently and it struck me how he talks about archetypal possession, how powerful it can feel but also how dangerous for one's sanity.

It instantly took me back to a time I was interacting with a Gorean Dom. He introduced me to the concept of a kajira, and though it felt strange at first I was fascinated.

Because I had hopes for a dynamic with him, I began researching it and slowly warming myself up to the idea of becoming one. One evening I literally felt like I was becoming her, the "perfect slave".

Suddenly, I was radiating an intense magnetism like I’d never felt before. My physical movements became more deliberate, sensual and graceful, as if a different person had taken over my body. It was intoxicating but also scary, as if I might be losing my grip on everyday reality.

Looking back, I'm not even sure how "Gorean" that man actually was. Luckily for me, he showed his true colors soon enough, and the illusion shattered before anything real could happen. But that temporary "transformation" stayed with me as proof of something quite extraordinary.

Is there a better term for a lesbian kajira?

silly question ! lesbians arent real 🤭

(this kajira doesnt think such a term exists because of the nature of the gor novels tbh)

The basic canvas used by John Norman to write the very deep dialogues between Tarl and his random female partner

"I'm your slave, Tarl Cabot!"

"Ehm, no. Thank you. Slavery is bad"

"No, I belong to you. You are my master"

"No, you are a free woman. Slavery is immoral"

...

"Ok, you are my slave"

Few pages after

"How dare you? I'm a free woman!"

"No, you are a Slave Girl! I'm your Master!"

"I love you, Tarl!"

I don't find the Gor novels controversial or antifeminist, because the main female partners are usually depicted as strong willed and smart. It's not even that disrespectful about women's autonomy, because the author gave to his male protagonist (Tarl Cabot, a human from modern-day Earth) a liberal and modern sensibility about slavery: Tarl is deeply against slavery and in every book I red so far, he frees slaves (in Outlaw of Gor he organizes a slave revolution against the oppressive matriarchal monarchy and also helped Lara, the former Queen, to develop a social consciousness and admitting the unfair parts of her city) and help oppressed women to become indipendent, self aware and express their true self. It's just a little paternalistic, but not misogynist. It's not even full of annoying sex scene as a person could think and sex is never described directly, at least in books I red so far. I think that Laurell K. Hamilton's sagas are more controversial and with more sex than actual plot. In the Gor novel there is a huge world-building and I love the way in which fantasy meets sci-fi novels.
