Fantasy world in which author John Norman set his Tarl Cabot novels. An arena in which Norman could indulge his BDSM obsessions, Gor is a world in which women are slaves to mighty-thewed, sword-slinging men, go about in scanty outfits and manacles, must be willing to have sex with any random male who comes by, and are subject to being whipped when disobedient. The literary result is much like what might occur if Ayn Rand had been fed acid and forced to watch a round-the-clock marathon of the films Conan the Barbarian and The Story of O before being plopped down in front of a typewriter.
