Ah, then forgive my teasing, please. "John Norman" has
written a series of novels, initially bad imitations of ER
Burroughs, that always had a certain amount of
male-master-and-female-slave sexuality about them (the planet
Gor is always on the other side of the Sun from Earth and
much resembles it and apparently the sexual politics tends
that way), with the later books being rather like tamer
versions of THE STORY OF O, only with long, tedious arguments
that attempt to justify the universal nature of such dynamics
(I have skimmed several...they are good for bad
laughs).
There is now a sort of international affiliation of Gor
society wanna- bes, who got some press a few years back in
the UK for their activities.
