"She loves you," I told Hassan.
"I have given her no choice," he said.
I supposed it true.
I supposed, further, that the rare event had here
taken place of a girl meeting her true master, and a man his true slave girl.
The girl, one among thousands less fortunate, had encountered a male, surely,
too, one among thousands, who could be, and was, to her and for her, her
absolute and natural master, the ideal and perfect male for her, dominant and
uncompromising, who could, and would, demand and get her full, yielding
sexuality,which a woman can give only to a man who owns her totally, before
whom, and to whom, she can be only an adoring slave. This happens almost never
on Earth, where, the normal male/female relationship is the result of a weak,
pleasant male's releasing of the female's maternal instinct, rather than her
usually frustrated instinct to submit herself fully to a truly dominant male as
a held and owned, penetrated, submissive female: it does occur, however, with
some frequency on Gor, where girls, slaves, are more frequently traded and
exchanged. One tries different girls until one finds her, or those, who are the
most exquisite, the most pleasing: one tends then to keep them: this
tends,too,to work out to the advantage of the women, the female slaves, but few,
except themselves, are concerned with them, or their feelings; men, it is clear,
have a need to dominate:few deny this; none deny it who are informed; in the
Gorean culture, as it is not on Earth, institutions exist for the satisfaction
of this need, rather than its systematic suppression and frustration; the major
Gorean institution satisfying this need is the widespread enslavement of human
females; the master/slave relationship is the deepest, clearest recognitionof,
and concession to, this masculine need, felt by all truly vital, sexual male;
but, in the Gorean theory, this masculine need to dominate, which, thwarted,
leads to misery, sickness, and petty, vicious, meaningless aggressions, is not
an aberation,nor an uncomplemented biological singularity in males,but has its
full complementary, correspondent need in the human female,which is the need,
seldom satisfied, to be overwhelmed and mastered; in primitive mate
competitions, in which intelligence and cunning, and physical and pyschological
power, were of biological importance, rather than wealth and status, the best
women, statistically, would fall to the strongest, most intelligent men; it is
possible, and likely, theat women, or the best women, were once fought for,
literally, as well as symbolically, as possessions; if this were the case then
it is likely that something in the female, genetically, would respond to
dominance and strength; most women do not, truly want weak men; they wish their
children to be bron not to an equal but a superior; how could they respect a man
who in stature and power was no more than themselves. the equal of a woman, a
prize; given the choice to bear the child of an equal, or a master, most women
whould choose to bear the child of a master; women long to bear the children of
men superior to themselves; it is a defeated woman whose body grows fat with the
child only of an equal; just as evolution,at one time, selected for strong,
intelligent men, capable of combat, because they were successful in mate
competitions,so too, correspondingly, in the transimission of genetic structures
it would be selecting for women who responded to, and yielded to,such men, women
who were the biologically specified such men either mated with weaker men, her
children then being less well adapted for survival, or, perhaps, fled away, and
her genes were lost, for better or for worse, to the struggling human groups;
the female who was excited by such men, and longed to belong to them, to
masters, and keep by them and serve them, had the best chance of survival; she
was the best protected; further her children would be more intelligent and
stonger.
