There are Goreans in the USA too. Not that I've ever met any (that I know of). But I do read a couple of BDSM blogs where their existence is mentioned (and whose authors find them ridiculous, creepy, or both).

Oh my! My "curtains were certainly twitching" after reading this article, and one can't help but pontificate if one's own country is "going down the pan", as well.

Why is that one of the worst-written and most misogynistic fantasy series inspires this kind of weirdness? Where are all the chill-out sects dedicated to Ursula K. Leguin novels or feminist cults for Octavia Butler?

What LT said. I think I was happier before I knew there was a cult devoted to Slave Girls of Gor. Dear God.

A cult based on the fantasy works of Gore? Liberal freaks.
