Tal Gorean Free women,

Love is not in our imagination. It exists between two people who match. It exists where we least expect it, or need it. The truth of the matter is most of us require it as a bare minium before we commit to each other. Perhaps that is why so many search so hard, and file through so many losses with divorce. We can not be satisified until we strive to find our perfect mate.

"I am lonely, Thurnock," I said.

"All men are, from time to time, lonely, said Thurnock."

"I am alone." I said.

"Except when they are touched by love," said Thurnock, "all men are alone".

This passage is a very moving, and passionate statement on behalf of Gorean men. To me it states without doubt the Gorean man pursued love to evade these lonely moments along his path. Tarl was reminising about Talena, his first love on Gor in this passage.

How does this relate to a gorean free woman, and her place in such a man’s life.

The position of a gorean free woman is multifaceted at bare minium. Reality has determined that life is not as simplistic as we wish. Amongst other things raising children, working, organizing, and scheduling are the very base of a day for a free woman. The love of a man at the end of this grueling day must bring a great deal of joy to such a woman. To be appreciated, and alive with him, to discuss, and interact with him, and finally to please him as a gorean companion.

"Most alone, I said, are those whom love has once touched, and left."

We have grown in our knowledge that slaves had a purpose to please, and obey. In those two mandated rules the life of a female slave is fulfilled under the philosophy of Gor. In reality often a man chooses to have children with his slave, perhaps even joining in marriage for legal purposes in Society’s eyes.Yet we can not deny, she is mere property, owned. She, the owned property can be loved, and can love, though the truth is she can not ask for love.

A free woman could quench this love, this need in her mate in which he often feels alone. In the partnership of a man and woman needs are fulfilled that aren’t comparable the needs of a slave and a master. A free woman would fully participate in daily decisions, and listen with understanding in financial aspects of their joining. They would indeed share parenting, as well as physical consumation. The relationship would most likely represent a circle of daily tasks divided between the two, yet the ability to walk alone when need be.

The motivation for many a task is love. It is a highly over used word, one in which many still have difficult defining. As these two men above sit and ponder, Thurnock listening with his heart to a man he respects, it is clearly seen that the level of care, and honesty rates paramount with both. Thurnock defines the truth to Tarl, in a manner that is not insulting to a man of Gor.

Online we often see free men that have a difficult time at best dealing with women that are indeed free. it is clearly shown in the attempts to humilate or degrade them before opening a dialogue. Perhaps it is merely a testing rod to poke and prode and make certain that before opening his heart, home, and trust that the free woman is indeed free in heart. That going through these tribunal ritualistic motions, a man determines who he can draw into his circle of steel.

We know from the books that men of Gor were not afraid to show emotion. They wept, they laughed, they fought hard. These men were very passionate, and moralistic in their choices. It does not surprise me that they loved fully the ones that made the leap past the ordinary. Great men as it is known wish only to sit amongst great minds.

In summary it is safe to say, that even though slaves were available with a paga that men chose otherwise... They wanted more, something tangiable in their lives. No matter how many slaves Bosk owned... He still was lonely.. He had not found his truth, his one love.

I wish everyone a wonderful St. Patty’s Day this month. On March 17, 2001 I will be raising a drink to Ireland and praying they find peace within two groups, and hoping war will end. Wishing no more innocent families cry for killed children, lost souls.
