My intoduction to Gor on Second Life

I played Second Life for about 6 months, when someone asked me if I ever heard about Gor. I had heard of Gor, but at that time I didn't know there was such a large community on Second Life who enjoyed the Gorean lifestyle and role play.

On Second Life there is are a lot of sims created around the Gorean lifestyle, where people can role play their favorite type of character from the books of John Norman. For example, when you liked the stories about Torvaldsland in the books, you can be a Torvaldslander in Second Life on a sim which has a Torvaldsland theme.

Unfortunately there seem to be too many Gorean sims build in SL. Sims that are badly build or badly managed or marketed. Sims that often disappear as quickly as they were build. So, like me, it also could happen to you that you arrive on a sim where there is nobody around to role play with.

But on the other side there are also, wonderfully created and realistic looking sims with a lot of people around who enjoy Gorean role playing and who together make a strong Gorean community.

At one of those sims I arrived one day, not knowing very much yet about Gorean role play in Second Life and only been reading about 3 of the books of John Norman. But most SL Goreans are very helpful and led me gradually into Gorean role play in Second Life.

But because there are so many beautiful sims to explore on SL, I decided to just become a traveler first and explore a lot of sims and meet people first before considering which place i am going to call my home stone.

And on one of those travels I met a woman who makes me experience what being a Gorean Master is really all about...  But that's 'food' for a next story.
