| 361 | I once read a quote in one of the books about how Earth men tend to obsess over a particular part of a woman's body, but that the Gorean man would not understand this, because he embraces the woman as a whole to include her intelligence.
Now I can't find it for the life of me. Please help!
Answer
This may be the quote you are thinking of:
Most men of Earth do not, truly, unfortunately, pay much attention to women. Men often do not even, truly, know their mates. If they did, it seems that misunderstandings, divorces, and such, would be less frequent. An interesting contrast here is the Gorean master/slave relationship. Men tend to be extremely interested in things they own, and tend, usually, to be quite fond of them. Owned women do not form an exception to this general rule. The slave girl is commonly desired and prized by her master; she is one of his treasures. The Gorean master, interested in her and attentive to her, wants to know everything about her, in its complexity and intimacy. He wants to know her thoughts, her emotions and feelings, in their feminine, lyrical detail. Conversing with a lovely slave is one of the many pleasures of owning her. It is almost impossible for a girl to keep her thoughts or feelings from her master. He knows her too well. Most girls are extremely responsive to their masters, and love them deeply, with that incredible love which can be known only by an enslaved woman, that love which a woman can accord only to a man who is her total master.
Fighting Slave of Gor    Book 14    Page 99
I found it, and many others, here at ~The Gorean Cave~ on this page Knowing the slave. If the one I posted here isn't it, perhaps it is on that page.
