<<has allready answered the question straightforwardly like three or is it four times now

<<is also very familuar with the preconcived allegations type questions (especially since the majority of the questions I field are of that type).

There is (as stated numerous times before in this thread) a difference between how things are done on Gor (the fictional setting of the books) and how things are done here in our own society and Norman has been been rather clear about it himself as previously posted.

Yes the word in question taken from the text may be "forced" but I ask you forced by what, when, how and or who?

It can be infered perhaps that it is the dominants responsibility to use some degree of force to coax submission forth. (the amount of which vastly differs between the fictional setting and the reality of it in real life here)

It certianly helps in most regards to have a strong willed Master , but it doesnt remove the free will of the submissive to choose in the slightest nor does it allieveate any of the legal trappings of our politically correct world.

Here in our world today, (as opposed to the setting of the books) it is illegal to engadge in non-consensual practices.

That freedom of choice is also possessed by the characters in the books (alltough thier options of choice are vastly reduced), nor does it remove that same choice to sumbmit or not, from our own lives.

If you think that earthbound philosophy practicing Goreans believe that all women should be taken out and physically forced to submit than you are pretty much missing the forest for the trees.
