Yes, I agree with all your points. It is very true there are people out there living as close as they can to the natural gorean way. I have been told by people I trust that there are several small gorean communities in the USA that are doing that very thing.

Having said that we must remember that we are talking about a handful of people out of the total number of people who practice some gorean style of BDSM.

I have met quite a few goreans, some very commited to the gorean lifestyle but as I said before none that were trying to actually live like they would be living on Gor in the phsyical sense but philosophically, yes indeed.

As you said "there are people in *every* group that are taking things as far as they can, and that the whole of a group should not be judged as such".
