The Gorean dictionary linked to is a glossary of terms connected with the fictional planet Gor, regardless of whether they have any particular relevance for BDSM... AnonMoos 10:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Simplifying the variations found in the Gor books a little in one respect

So far I haven't included the "Turian Camisk" and "Chatka and Curla" slave garments of the southern hemisphere of the planet Gor which violate the northern hemisphere "No Nether Closure" rule (while even in the northern hemisphere, masters are occasionally known to tie cords tightly over the thin garments which a kajira wears on her upper body in order to accentuate her breasts). This is because I've been trying to emphasize the principle of "brevity, openness, and looseness" which prevails most of the time in kajira attire, so that detailing the partial limited exceptions to this principle might be confusing. Even though certain kinds of tight-fitting kajira garments do exist, it's still the case that bra-and-panties or bikini type garments are un-Gorean (as can be seen in several passages in the books).

Have now included southern hemisphere clothes on the page. I made the description of the Turian camisk very brief, since I don't understand the details of Norman's descriptions of how it is fastened on, and I'm not sure whether many other people do either... Also included a basic description of Panther girls, since they has assumed great importance in some forms of on-line Gorean roleplaying (even though the direct BDSM relevance might be somewhat small).
