Serving is so much easier than Second Life

So many people find Gor online these days, whether they are haphazardly exploring a BDSM site like Fetlife, or delving into the world of 3D chats like Second Life. But these are, mostly, more of a hindrance than a help.

I found Gor through a chat room, and after then moving to real life I had to ‘unlearn’ many things.

Chat rooms have their purpose, of course, they can be excellent places to debate and discuss – but they can also be filled with misinformation that on its own is harmless, but when coupled with the curiosity of a new person and the eagerness to learn – it can have a negative effect.

Even the best of ‘by-the-books’ role play rooms are very ‘narrow’ in their portrayal of Gor. How many slaves in the books were able to come and go as they please? How many of them were whipped without feeling the lash? How about serving, without having to worry about spilling hot water, or tidying up spilled sugar? None. How many ‘worked’ for an hour a day, or two? Few.

Time is one of the biggest things – and the fact that free or slave only has to ‘abide by the rules’ during certain times of the day, week or month, depending on when they ‘feel like’ popping in. If only in reality we could deal with things only when we FELT like serving, or FELT like being honourable!

So while it is different, and a slave must learn to think and act in certain ways in reality, it is very different from typing it on a website. A serving of tea takes minutes in person, and I’ve seen it take over an hour online. The slaves may be brilliant at ‘sashaying across the floor, hips wiggling provocatively’, or whatever it is they feel like doing.. But doing it with a full cup of steaming coffee is completely another.


Personally, online could never have prepared me for having to do things that I didn’t want to do. Some days I don’t FEEL like making bread, cleaning, practising my lace or exercising – but it’s required of me by my master, and so without groaning, complaining, sighing – it has to be done. There are days when I have to be up early, or late, despite being tired – it has to be done. I can’t just turn it off when I feel like it and go ‘back to reality,’ picking it up as and when it suits me, because unlike roleplay, this IS my reality – as it is for others. 

I wish you well,
Kamira.
