Some people bring elements and ideas from John Norman's Gor fantasy novels into their own lives, whether in reality, in fantasy, or somewhere in-between. These followers of Norman's novels are called Goreans.
Goreans are often disdained by the mainstream of BDSM practitioners, because the Gorean philosophy appears to reject ideas like Safe, sane and consensual and Risk aware consensual kink, following instead a more strict Master/slave ownership model. Another reason for disdain is because it is fantasy, although Norman actually modelled most of his fictional scenarios on historic slave-owning cultures.
