"In a Mans Own Hut, said he, he must be Master; even though he has selected out for himself a companion. It is the part of his companion to befriend and aid him, not to insult and drive him."

I learned a very valuable lesson the last few days: Women strive to please, whether they are free, or slave.

It is not within us to be able to change men, but to love them for what they represent to us. We simply can not own what is free, and strong.

What makes the FreeCompanionship work?

How is it we value that contract.?

In order for a companionship to work in the essence of Gorean Philosophy there must be trust, and worth. When you find that companion, do you trust him?

Trust him to speak your thoughts, know what is right, and what is wrong?

If you answered no, I would say this would be the first of many decisions that you must make.

A woman cannot change a man, or his beliefs.

She can not make him feel shame, glory, love, or honesty.

She can only be a silent fortitude behind him.

We are free. We have the right to make sure the men we believe in, and consider as free companions, are whom they say.

We have the right not to play just a character online

We have the right to be who we are.

Real!

To be idealist, would have little weight on choosing a mate.

Gorean men are known for their arrogance, strength.

A Free woman is not entitled to challenge those traits.

A Companionship is not lightly taken. It is a full year contract.

A free woman requires much needed protection. A Free male is able to provide such a

gift to such a woman.

Bear in mind, a woman will still be expected to act according to her position.

Contracts are signed, and the wine is poured.

It is a celebration of a union, of sons to be born……… creation.

Do not be blinded by fast decisions. Time and patience is the key.

If a Freeman seeks your heart. So be it.

But a Free companionship is not made in day, nor a night.

Its work, Folks. Just like life.

Hard choices, lots of thought. It's not is he a bad guy or what crimes did he commit.

Its, "does he respect himself", so that I too can respect him.

To answer both my questions.

How is it we make that freecompanship work?

How is it we value that contract?

It's a very simple answer. By the time you are ready to commit yourself to such a serious choice. You will know the man to whom you offer yourself to.

There will be no question to the rules of that relationship, for you both will know

What is expected , what is not. What likes or dislikes lay ahead.

You will for all purposes know what road it is you have decided to travel.

There should not be guessing or confusion. Rather two minds able to function. Not equally, but together.

It is simple. We honor what we say because our actions show nothing more, nothing less, not a character created, not a lie.

We value what is true, and good. We live with what choices we make.

We strive towards the philosophy of Gor, on a level we understand.
