Cybersex, Lies, and Virtual Rape

- Part II -

LIES

It occurred to me, at some point, that the beginning of this triad of tirades was actually the driving force behind the other two. There may be a myriad of reasons behind falsifying ones identity, such as the need to make oneself feel important, but more often it may just be to get a piece of cyber-snatch. In any case, it is singularly not Gorean. If there is one attribute applied to those who apply the philosophy to their life, it is their authenticity. Now granted, people tend to stress their good points and take the talk down the bad points, but that is quite different from an outright blustering of boskshit. I would also hedge a bit in this manner. There is no canon set forth which says, "Goreans do not lie!" In fact, there are instances in the novels which prove the opposite. My position is that no self-respecting man (or even free woman) would bother with blatant fabrication to elevate ones standing…especially to impress a slut.

It is quite a coincidence that I am writing this portion of the article on the third anniversary of the first IRC channel dedicated to being Gorean, because one of my favorite misrepresentations is the one that says "I've been Gorean longer than anyone else".

<wench> Are you Gorean Master?

<Stump_Rider> yes been since 89

<wench> 1989 Master? Have you always had a Gorean channel Master?

<Stump_Rider> nods a vast amount of others

* wench smiles and tilts her head

<wench> So you had a gorean channel on IRC in 1989 Master?

<wench> WOW

<Stump_Rider> nods that and introduced to it some what r/l

<wench> what was the name of your first gorean channel Master back in 1989. Maybe wench has visited it before

<Stump_Rider> it folded a while back but was #Gor-Travels

<wench> You had that way back in 1989, Master, thats great

Impressive. Yet I wonder about the validity of what is being relayed here. I did a bit of research, and found the following:

IRC or Internet Relay Chat was originally written by Jarkko Oikarinen in the year 1988. Since it's birth in Finland, IRC is in use in over sixty countries worldwide. Internet Relay Chat was propelled into the spotlight during the gulf war in 1991. During this period information was relayed from around the world.

So you see, not only was this fellow a pioneer of on-line Gor, he was also one of the first users of the IRC system. In fact, I would bet two tarsks that he would claim to be good friends with Ol' Jarkko, and actually help invent IRC. It is a shame, however, that his information is unreliable, because this also came from the same conversation.

<wench> Do you have all the books Master?

<Stump_Rider> on cd yes

<wench> How Master?

<wench> cd ?

<wench> wench has never heard of that

<Stump_Rider> cd - for a computer

<Stump_Rider> got it when was in Califonia (Is this a Freudian slip?)

<wench> most of the books are not even in publication, how did they get on cd Master

<Stump_Rider> not sure but best $30.00 I spent

<wench> May wench please have the name on the disks so she can write the company and see if they are still in stock

<Stump_Rider> creative worlds

I searched for this company, but only found some odd special effects outfit who did movie make-up, which I find a bit ironic. I was sad and yet also glad that the novels, and I am certain they have never been published in "scroll" form, are not out on CD-Rom. It would be wonderful for people to once again read Norman's entire works, but it would also be very easy to copy them illegally, and deny the author his monetary reward. On a side note, it would also allow _Marcus_ a way to quickly search all of the books in a very expedient manner, thus making him more of a quote nazi than he is presently…

The next major lie is in the "I know more about Gor than you" category. I have so many logs, posts and conversation in this one that I had a very hard time wading through for the choice cuts on which to let you chew. They range from the mildly amusing, such as idle chat incurred while on a very odd web browser version of Gor, to the absurdity of the "training channels" which can be found just about anyplace.

<Peenus> kalana please tupa

<tupa> yes Master... do you prefer red or white.. and chilled or room temp?

<Peenus> white, chilled

* tupa smiles softly.. yes Master..

* Tambourine sips the black wine watching tupa.

<Tambourine> Peenus..do you remember this one? :points to tupa:

* wench tilts her head watching with interest

* alhambra watches with great interest as she has never seen white kalana before

* tupa presses her finger tips against the ground as she boosts herself up to her feet with a gentle push... moves across the hall with graceful steps..her hips gently swaying with the soft rythm of her footsteps..her fingers caressing against her cheeks as she brushes the soft blonde hair from her eyes...

* wench smiles pondering that herself

* tupa moves to the shelves.. bending over with a gentle bend of her waist as she lifts her bottom upwards with a wiggle of her hips..offering Master Peenus a pleasing view for his eyes to rest upon.. her fingers pulling a goblet from the lower shelf...

* Tambourine looks to two kajira.. guess what

* alhambra looks to Mistress...Yes Mistress?

<Tambourine> there is two kinds of kalana.. Turian White..or Cosian Red

<wench> Yes Mistress?

<Tambourine> so..its both..

<wench> wench would be very interested in the book and page to reference that please Mistress

<Tambourine> and its served chilled, room temp..or mulled..

* alhambra nods...thank you Mistress. a girl has not read all the scrolls as yet so is still much in ignorance and thanks you for the information

* tupa lifts back to her feet.. wiping the goblet with tender strokes of a soft cloth..lifting the goblet's rim to her cheek as she slowly drags it over the softness of her flesh.. her sensations alert to any chips or mar on the rim that could harm Master's lips.. smiles as she feels the rim glide smoothly over her cheek...

<Tambourine> check the web page..under food and drink of Gor

<wench> does the webpage have book and page number Mistress?

<Tambourine> www.aintgor.jok

<Tambourine> i dinna know.

<Tambourine> i am sure it does…

Well, I am sure it does not. It does give a definition found on many websites across the internet and is one written with incorrect information. It is one of many, but since I already had this free woman on the ropes, let's rock and roll.

KA-LA-NA - light, sweet potent dry white or red wine, made from the fruit of the Ka-la-na tree. Served at room temp, chilled, or mulled.

The closest a reference of this beverage ever comes to white is when it is described as "bright" and "incandescent". I have had this argument many times with people who have a much greater knowledge of the books than I, and while there is nothing that states it is not white, there is certainly nothing saying " Turian White or Cosian Red".

<Tambourine> i suggest you find that web page and read it..

I suggest you do not. I mined the site, and produced these gems:

Website: While some women are free, most exist as slaves.

Novels: "Are most Gorean women slaves?" she asked.

"No," I said. "Indeed, statistically, in those parts of Gor with which I am familiar, very few. Commonly only one woman in say, forty or fifty is a slave."

--p.246, Beasts of Gor

Website : The world of Gor is a planet that lies in counter-orbit to Earth (a.k.a. Urth).

Novels: No mention of the word "Urth".

Website: SUL-PAGA OR SA-PAGA - a fermented alcohol, similar to raw vodka/whiskey. Clear and brisk, or thick and a bit chunky due to differing fermentation processes.

Novels: "…Paga, a strong, fermented drink brewed from the yellow grains of Gor's staple crop, sa-Tarna, or Life-Daughter." --p. 74, Outlaw of Gor

"Sul paga is, when distilled, though the sul itself is yellow, is as clear as water..." --p.134, Slave Girl of Gor

The site also mentions the position "Sula-Ki", in which a slave "lifts her hips off the floor slowly for the Masters pleasure to entice his usage of her", and "redfruit" which is the "Urth tomato". But hey, if you don't like tomatoes you can still eat your veggies, because Gor now has "urthen varieties of onions, peas, carrots".

One of the training channel rules noted that "Respect is to be shown to all… kajira and Master" which almost made me lose my tarsk and beans…But we'll get to that in a moment. First, I must share with you, my readers, this incredible piece of roleplay which actually got the fellow booted from the channel with the aforementioned website. Unfortunately, I am missing the portion of the log which contains the pointing to the spot of "sploodge" on the map…

<Kookus> playalong, may i whisper something to you

<playalong{b^S}> Master Kookus, a girl is restricted by her collar...a girl must receive permission before she may whisper

<Kookus> np playalong

<Kookus> let us continue with the map

* Kookus points out to playalong the tribal domains of the Sima and Lichka

* playalong{b^S} smiles

<playalong{b^S}> yes, Master Kookus

<Kookus> I am of the Sima, but after our recent defeats by the Lichka, helped by the mercenaries of Edz

* Kookus grimaces at the name of the Edz

<Kookus> I have had to flee

* playalong{b^S} sees the areas to which Master Kookus refers....her eyes trace carefully along with the movements of His fingers

<Mastiff> tell us about the sploodge again!

<Kookus> so I have travelled the ocean to these regions, in search of refuge, and to learn more about the ways of this land

* playalong{b^S} listens to the intensity in Master Kookus's voice as He tells her of His home, and the region's unrest

<Kookus> but do you wish to learn more of the Sima, Lichka, and the hated Edz

<Mastiff> I wanna know how that stain got on the map... thats what *I* wanna know!

* playalong{b^S} nods

<playalong{b^S}> yes, Master Kookus....very much

<Kookus> the Sima are a proud but disorganised people of the North...in truth, the confusion of our generals did little to foster success against the Lichka

<Kookus> the Lichka are small, and come from the South - their costumes are bright green

<Kookus> we would surely have matched them for strength were it not for the perfidious Edz

* playalong{b^S} forms the vivid images in her mind as Master Kookus speaks to her

* Kookus shudders and sighs...the treachery of the Edz lost us the criticall battle of Lindan...our fair city is desolate

* playalong{b^S} watches the sadness wash over Master Kookus's face

<Kookus> our women are captive, our houses occupied, and many of us in exile...but the Sima will rise again!

*** Kookus was kicked by Anop (Complain to the IRCops on EFNet if you want to...)

Ah yes, those perfidious Edz…hey are found in scroll number 32, "Goobers of Gor", but do give the guy credit for being able to ignore me, as it is no easy task. The last and greatest perversion I find in the IRC lie bin is the twisting of the actual concept on which Gorean philosophy is founded. We are men, and by a natural order we are dominant. Don't think the very basic foundation can be removed without people still running about shouting their credentials far and wide? Take a gander at this dandy…

Approach Mastery with humility. Consider the gift your slave gives you in granting you control of her mind and body. Abuse her gift at your peril.

Now, who enslaves whom in that scenario? Pal, it ain't you…

Know that the slave controls the ultimate limits of her submission. You may test her limits..may be even encouraged to do so..but respect her fears. Grant her a safeword, discuss limits, hers and yours.

Oh sure, let the slave control what is and is not done in the relationship. It still ain't you!

Read up on Gor. Look at the Gor web pages, find a couple of Norman's books to read. Gor is more complicated than it first appears, and many (most) Masters are less well educated in it's lore than are their slaves.

Indeed. Read up on Gor. As you can tell, the author has done some detailed reading himself on the subject of which he writes. The list also includes "be polite" and "show respect", but then one has to wonder because "Gorean Masters don't take a lot of crap from anyone… Interesting reading, but not exactly factual as far as the books are concerned. So then, if we need to be polite and respectful, why not just let the slaves run channels and decide who they want to have around? Absurd, you say? Read on…

Should the only ops on the channel be slaves: Their word is law. They are well trained in the ability to deal with these problems, should they arise. That is why they have been chosen to be ops

Well, what harm can that cause, eh? All the slaves want is a bit of discretion and protection from the evil men on IRC. They would never misbehave or toss out a Gorean man. After all, they are slaves. Be warned, readers, once that kailla gets its nose under the tent, it is impossible to get it out. But don't take my word for it, this is a log which was given to me by a friend who had the splendid experience of a slave op. I interjected a few comments, so I hope you don't mind.

<Friend> Tal, men

<Fabio> fellow aussie of urth...thanks for coming here (Urth…great start)

* Friend smiles and inclines his head

<Friend> What does the rt mean?

<alleyslut{LBF}rt> red in training Master

<Friend> So that I'm not rude to Fabio, wench, you can fetch me some ice water, never speak to me unless I'm speaking to you or you're required to say something

* delilah{LB}wt looks to Master Friend briefly

We get a bit of foreshadow as to what will come, and then it enters. The "boy"…

*** fag[Rosie] (~fruit@xxx.xxxxx.xxx) has joined #Lord_Butts_Fartnoise

*** ChanOP sets mode: +v fag[Rosie]

* Gate_Guard steps before fag[Rosie] and speaks with them for a moment before letting them pass, reminding them to view the rules (!rules), Also for Food and Drink type !menu, Then he points, On the Front Gate on a pike is the head of Mynerva, and on another pike is Ty`Lor's head, another pike awaits Ko`Mar, `Bjarni was killed by Lord Butt

* Heartbowman raises and eyebrow

* allyslut{LBF}rt lowers her head yes Master , as Master wishes stands with a fluid grace before Him and takes three soft steps back lowering her gaze in submission to Him , turns softly on her heels and heads to the servery

* fag[Rosie] enters and goes to the furs

I just had to include the entry message, it was to exciting to miss. The real fun begins now, as the boy is insulted by…well, a man.

<fag[Rosie]> sorry Master Friend trav did not see you in the shadows greetings Master

<Friend> I'm sitting, cross legged, at a low table, boy. But that's okay, I don't acknowledge you either

<fag[Rosie]> hahahah

<LadyGlory`> laughs

<fag[Rosie]> MIstress Master Friend was very gracious, when fag did not see him and he forgave fag

<Friend> Actually, boy, I insulted you. I find you repugnant and an abomination of what Gorean believe is the natural order

<Friend> Don't speak to me, let alone for me, ever again

<fag[Rosie]> sorry you feel that way Master

* LadyGory` shakes her head

<LadyGory`> seen that coming fag

<Fabio> I should have explained where Friend is coming from...

<fag[Rosie]> Master thank you trav will not speak to you thank you

<Fabio> Friend is from SS on dalnet, he is one of the ops there and they have policy of

no male slaves…

<Friend> No need to explain anything, Fabio. You've been gracious in sending the slut to serve me and done nothing but welcome me here. I thank you for that

* smelly{SH}w thinks her brother is the best (Awwwww)

* delilah{LB}wt wishes most Master looked that good in a loin cloth (Double Awwwww)

* smelly{SH}w giggles (You note, of course, slaves making light of men…

<Fabio> Friend, we respect our slaves here…

<Friend> I respect some slaves, Fabio, but it's not a given that I do so immediately

<Friend> I think they should be forced to earn any respect which comes their way

Then the pathetic subbie male loses all control of his senses (not to mention his caps key), and takes control of the channel. He kicks a free man out of a channel with not so much as a command. Not once…

<fag[Rosie]> mASTER Friend THIS IS FAG'S HOME HE SHALL NOT BE INSULTED IN HIS HOME

*** You were kicked by fag[Rosie] (fag[Rosie]

…not twice…

* Friend waves the slave away

*** You were kicked by fag[Rosie] (fag[Rosie])

* delilah{LB}wt laffs

…not thrice…

*** You were kicked by fag[Rosie] (fag[Rosie])

<delilah{LB}wt> can we say BAN

*** fag[Rosie] sets mode: +b *!*@xxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx

* delilah{LB}wt looks to Friends slave, sadly

<Friend> You allow slaves to kick and ban free men?

<fag[Rosie]> mISTRESS FAG WILL TAKE NO mORE OF TH s&s

<Friend> A rather odd concept

* smelly{SH}w giggles

* delilah{LB}wt picks herself up off the floor laffing

<LadyGory`> lol

<smelly{SH}w> how funny He is

<smelly{SH}w> lol

*** You were kicked by fag[Rosie] (fag[Rosie])

…but four separate occasions. You also see the other slaves laughing and carrying on as if it is some sideshow. Are these slaves? Are these Goreans? No, I would think not. As long as people such as this exist, then we will see postings by slaves on "Gorean" boards such as this:

Long Live the CounterUrth .. long live U/us

In Honour, unity, love and fidelity.

W/we are the strength....ley U/us be strong!

It is enough to make you want to shake your head and walk in the other direction. Until you see something like this. These are some excepts from the slave of my friend who spoke to one of the girls who was "laffing" during the incident above. It makes me smile and chuckle, and should gives those who tell these lies a pain in the pit of the stomach. Even the girls you think you have fooled know what you represent, and the ones who wish more, will seek it.

<bess{Friend}> delilah... tell me more about this respect for slave's thing please? how would it work?

<delilah{LB}wt> sis :)

<bess{Friend}> bess means, can you feel him mastering you and have this too?

<delilah{LB}wt> this girl loves a strong Master

<delilah{LB}wt> but with respect sis

<bess{Friend}> he's just so masterful, you know?

<delilah{LB}wt> yeah

<delilah{LB}wt> a girl likes feeling owned as well

<delilah{LB}wt> my master LordButt..

<delilah{LB}wt> never calls me slut...

<delilah{LB}wt> does it make you happy? and fullfill you?

<bess{Friend}> being slave makes bess happy and fullfilled

<delilah{LB}wt> in all honesty delilah loves a Master such as yours

<delilah{LB}wt> it makes a girl feel totally owned

<bess{Friend}> then how can you like the types in that channel like bess just saw?

<delilah{LB}wt> but some girls whom are not totally submissive prefer the gentle Master

* delilah{LB}wt sighs

<delilah^AFK> delilah has been struggling with that recently to be honest

<delilah^AFK> she seeks a sterner Master

<delilah^AFK> one like Yours

<delilah^AFK> does He have any friends in need of a slave?

* bess{Friend} smiles

<bess{Friend}> there's a tavern full of them, think about it sometime

<delilah^AFK> a girl has been thinking about it for a long time

<delilah^AFK> but a girl is scared

<bess{Friend}> nothing good is easy

<delilah^AFK> this girl does not know how to serve a stern Master

<bess{Friend}> and half way can't possibly be enough if you're truly slave

<delilah^AFK> she will brat and try to top from the bottom

<delilah^AFK> but the urge sis is here in a girls empy belly

<bess{Friend}> she was just wondering about you, you know?

<delilah^AFK> no problem sis

<delilah^AFK> thank You

<delilah^AFK> you have helped this girl more than You know

(Note: This is part two of a three part series, and the author would like to extend thanks to all the people who have provided him with websites and logs which make these articles.)
