Is the loving even good? Or is it just "Tarl claimed the woman, and though she protested inside she knew that this was the right way of things." rearranged for three and a half pages.

So there was a romance novelist who got busted lifting whole passages without permission from various biologists dissertations on things like red weasels mating habits and those are less dry and technical than Gor.

The plant being watered description is not a huge exaggeration; there is a reason nobody here is talking about their moms weird smutty collection of Gor novels.

it's that. i remember around the same time in my development, i read this book which is the most generic fantasy schlock you can imagine. in that book, humans have a pretty recognizable Catholic interpretation of YVWH as God and the choirs of angels as God's support. elves appropriate this interpretation of celestial beings and angels to get raw, impressionable humans to do their bidding because the humans think the elves are angels. one particular elf appropriates a kid who's got some magical inclination that he can exploit. they have Adventures.

the kid, predictably, meets a girl who's sexy and they gently caress, as part of his Coming Of Age story. like the kid literally later tells the girl he felt like he had to gently caress her because it was about Becoming A Man. even in this almost insultingly basic context, the sex scene is at least titillating in the most literal sense in that the author describes the girl's tits and uses adjectives that are designed to be alluring and appealing.

the gorean novels, in comparison, describe things in near mathematical relations that even to my teenager brain were neither alluring nor appealing, but rather clinical and sterile.

gor poo poo is almost objectively worse and less appealing than stock standard generic 'elves are angels and magic is divine, read about this boy growing up' bullshit of the mid 90s.

i dunno how to put it in more stark terms than that.

OMG THE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET INCIDENT!

I was so obsessed with it that I actually went and got a used copy of the book. It was amazingly awkward. The characters would be postcoital and then suddenly start spouting statistical data about ferrets.

If anyone's interested in fuckin' and ferrets

Yeah, I was talking about the book itself.

E: does the website have the part where they're snuggling and discussing how long the ferrets are ?

It happens multiple times over the course of the book and the ferrets actually act as some kind of metaphor for their love? It's hilarious. Highly recommended!

Actually the more people talk about these books the more I realize that one of my friends back in High School was into them. He certainly fits my mental image of a Gor reader as a sweaty overweight dude who didn’t know how to talk to women.

Oh, sure, when a slave wench does it, she's "sweetening the vessel," but when I do it, I'm "fired from Wendy's." Double loving standard, man.
