Ragoczy,
I thought I had been invited to post in this thread to DISCUSS the source material, because I never made a comment about the lifestyle in particular, just the novels themselves. I honestly had no idea that Seri was inviting me over to discuss actual Gorean Lifestyle practices. All I had an interest in discussing was the source text, which I had thought was self evident, but apparently not.
I have no interest in critiquing or judging anyone else's personal lifestyle. That's silly.
I apologize for tying up a thread in a non-related discussion.
