I dont know about different types of Masters other than cultural differences presented in the various fictional races of the books, but the types and functions of slaves were portrayed to be many and varied on a catagorical level. Every thing from a kitchen girl, to pleasure or love slave (yes some slaves are trainned specifically to be love slaves and there is a difference between them and a pleasure slave)

For instance some in the bdsm comunity say not all submissives are slaves but all slaves are submisives.

For a Gorean one may say not all pleasures slaves are love slaves, but all love slaves are indeed pleasure slaves.

Though any slave may also work in the kitchen depending on her owners wishes.


And yes there are Domme's and male slaves as well. We even have a real life Gorean Domme thats a member of the site.

There is nothing wrong with Howards work. The Conan refference is speaking about the online virtual reality 3d interactive graphics comunity's (ie: second life) so called "Goreans" that dont nessesarally practice the philosophy of Gor in real life so much as play "fuck the slave girl" on the computer and generally comport themselves in a barbaric manner, who have contributed to the bad reputation many real life philosophy practicing Goreans in the vanilla and bdsm worlds too often are asscoiated with.
