#1 An another article on that very important matter :
Gor blimey! Subservient cult is unleashed on Darlington
"The local butcher, for one, has banned Mr Thompson from his premises
for turning up with his girlfriend attached to a leash."
Hé hé hé.

#4 I don't know. Perhaps it's a symptom, perhaps the western man as figured by the dominant PC culture has forgotten how to be manly, and has to resort to such roleplaying. Don't know if it's worth going all analytical on that.

#5 The problem with the Gor books, imho, was the plots often hinged on the S&M in some way so you couldn't just remove it and sell the book as decent sword and sorcery.

If you took out the S&M they were pretty decent sword and sorcery, lots of action and detail.

I think the guy could have made a lot of money if he wasn't overly occupied with his S&M world view.

#7 Yes, but Darlington for chrissake. It's the arse end of the world. My only clear recollection of the place was making a swift exit from a pub after making some money off some unemployed miners playing pool. They were none too happy about handing their cash over to an obviously worse for wear southern (England) prick.

"Wonder if he branded the slaves."

Of course! Can't have female slaves without branding, everyone knows that! Slaves need to feel the kiss of the hot iron.

#21 Of course... it was a clear rip off of:
Edgar Rice Burroughs series staring John Carter of Mars

Wikipedia: John Carter of Mars
Most of these novels had their copyright expire so you can read them for free at Project Gutenburg.
They are in the Barsoom book set.
A Princess of Mars
The Gods of Mars
The Warlord of Mars
Thuvia, Maid of Mars

The rest are still under copyright.
