When submission is complete, as in the modialty of Gorean Slavery, she has no choices, her very life is in the Hands of the Free. The following quotes from the vast works of John Norman, begin to define just how much freedom a slave has, and what to expect should disciplinary measures be required.

Why should I call you 'Mistress'," I asked, "as you are a slave, as I am, and you are not "First Girl" to me?" Too, it was you who undermined me with the girls and the masters, and it is because of you that Aynur, stupid Aynur, was made first girl this afternoon! I hate you all, except Sita, who alone remained loyal to me! But I will not stay in the house of Hendow without Mirus or as second girl! I have escaped, and, in one stroke, too, taken my vengeance on you." Many of these Goreans gather in online communities that appear to be outlets for structured adult fantasies. But on closer inspection of these spaces, it often becomes apparent that something entirely different is going on.

The series is an overlapping of planetary romance and sword and planet. The first book, Tarnsman of Gor, opens with scenes reminiscent of scenes in the first book of the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs; both feature the protagonist narrating his adventures after being transported to another world. These parallels end after the first few books, when the stories of the books begin to be structured along a loose story arc involving the struggles of the city-state of Ar and the island of Cos to control the Vosk river area, as well as the struggles at a higher level between the non-human Priest-Kings and the Kurii (another alien race) to control Gor and Earth.However, Thompson’s fantasy lifestyle wasn’t one of his own creations. He had based his cult around a series of science-fiction novels he had read as child—the Gor series.

The girl had now learned that her feet might be cut from her for running away, that her ears and nose might be cut from her for lying. She was still an ignorant girl, of course, but she now knew a little more of what it might be to be a slave on Gor."No," said the Lady Florence. "I will have her sold in Ar. That is why I have invited Tenalion to my house this evening. He has a cage for her waiting in his wagon." She looked to Tenalion. "You may take her, Tenalion," she said. Yes, Master," she said.
