Now there are some other areas where one would think infering from the text that Gorean bdsm practicioners differ from the rest of us that have not yet been discussed. The following may seem paradoxical at first as we into bdsm use pain as a way of achieving pleasure, but bear with me. Look at this quote from the books:

"The major point of the restraint is to restrain not hurt. Indeed, pain can interfere with many of the diverse subsidiary values of restraints, physical and psychological. It can be distractive. Pain is a bit like the whip. The slave is subject to the whip, and truly subject to it, but this does not mean that she is necessarily whipped; that she could be whipped, and will be whipped, if she is not pleasing, is what is important, not that she need be whipped. Why should one beat a pleasing slave?"

Does it sound like Goreans shouldnt whip thier slaves for play purposes now?

Or is it ok becuase both the submissive and Master in our society derives pleasure from the act?
