Gorean
A male-dominant BDSM lifestyle modelled on the slavery world of John Norman's Gor novels.
Definitions
A BDSM subculture and lifestyle built around the fictional planet Gor from John Norman's pulp sci-fi series, a world of male dominance and female submission. Goreans borrow its hierarchy, rituals, slave positions, and commands; submissive women take the title kajira (slave). Lifestylers (or literalists) weave it into daily life, while role players keep it to scenes. Heavily critiqued for the source novels' extreme sexism.
