| Gags |
 Any
device which is inserted into or covers the mouth to muffle sound. A dominant
may wish to gag his submissive during BDSM play because she's being too
noisy or simply to increase her feelings of helplesness. You need to be
careful with gags or things tied in the mouth because as well as restricting
breathing, they can trigger a gag reflex and vomiting. Obviously that could
turn out to be very nasty (and potentially lethal) if the submissive can't
get the gag out so never leave someone alone when they are gagged. You
might also want to think in advance about a substitute for a safeword.
If the gagged person can't talk, how will they let you know if they're
in trouble or want out ? |

Gender
Orientation |
 A
linked series of rings, usually metal, of diminishing size which are fitted
around the cock and held in place by a leather strap around the balls.
Initially fitted to a flaccid cock, the device grips ever more tightly
as the unfortunate victim becomes aroused and his cock becomes erect. Diabolically
clever because even *thinking* about sex can have painful consequences. |
 Not
so much to do with sexual orientation as identification with a particular
gender. So for example, a male transexual might have a female gender orientation
(i.e see himself as a woman) but still prefer to have sex with either men
or women. Confused ? Well, we are talking about sex, aren't we. The day
I ever understand that, I'll retire to breed goldfish and knit woolly tea-cosies. |

| Gender
Play |
| Dressing up or taking the
role of the other sex during play. Much enjoyed by many, but be careful
about letting fat-ass boyfriends near your knicker-drawer or they'll stretch
the elastic and your pants will fall down ! |
| German |
| Why
do we love our code-words so much ? Here's one for sado-masochism. Why
German ? Perhaps you have to be a sadist to inflict German cooking on anyone
and a masochist to eat it ? (only kidding my German chums) |
| Golden
Shower |
 Sounds
beautiful doesn't it ? Its actually all about pissing on your partner or
having them piss on you. Its an activity which challenges and breaks down
the strong privacy taboos that are drummed into children regarding some
bodily functions. Its very intimate, it's warm and wet, it feels good to
let it out, and it comes from your genitals. There is also the feeling
of power you get from having someone bound beneath you who can do nothing
but take it as the shower lets loose. Separate, but related, activities
are people who get off on being 'naughty' by wetting their pants so they
need to be punished and those who like drinking urine. Generally
you're pretty safe with drinking your own urine because it's essentially
sterile but you still need to take care with other peoples because it's
not necessarily free of HIV. Some people are devoted to drinking their
own urine, claiming many (unproven) health benefits from the practice.
Thats really outside the scope of this little guide, but remember that
urine contains the salts that your body is trying to eliminate, so drinking
it again is likely to strain your kidneys. If you're drinking urine, you
need to make sure you drink lots of pure water as well. |
| Gor
(and Gorean) |
 The
term comes from a series of sci/fi novels about a planet called Gor, where
men are men and women know their place. The extreme slave culture described
struck a chord with many D/s devotees, because Gorean websites, newsgroups,
and chat-rooms have sprung up all over the internet where people engage
in a fantasy life based on the world described in the Gor novels. Some
even try to live their whole lives 24/7 according to gorean principles.
For those budding kajira and kajirus (slavegirls
and slaveboys) who can suspend disbelief, Gor offers a rich fantasy life
with strong BDSM themes. Others are only glad that the author of the Gor
novels (pictured on the left looking pensive) didn't write about Mickey
Mouse or we'd all be having to ask permission in the third-person to enter
Disney World. John Norman (real name John Frederick Lange ) was the author
who ignited so many D/s fantasies with his Gor novels. In real-life,
he is probably as far removed from the male characters he describes in
his novels as its possible to get (ah...wish fulfillment ! ) An academic
writer and philosopher who received his Doctorate from Princeton, he worked
for several years as an Associate Professor of Philosophy at a New York
University. The work for which he is best known, his Gor novels, is a series
of 25 books about the fictional planet of Gor, the "Counter-Earth". Several
million copies of his works have been printed and he has been published
in several languages. Two feature-length motion pictures have been based
on his work. Even today his work is regarded as slightly controversial,
and some of his writing has been censored and banned periodically throughout
his lengthy career. His work has attracted a large following both in his
native United States and throughout the world. Several of his earlier works
have recently been reprinted in America, and he continues to be published
abroad. The first of the Gor novels appeared in 1967, and installments
to the series continued to be published right through until 1988. Also
during this period, Norman authored an additional sf/fantasy trilogy known
as the Telnarian Histories, plus two other unrelated fictional novels,
and a nonfiction paperback entitled 'Imaginative Sex'. The first six books
of the Gor series were recently reprinted, and have again been made available
in select bookstores in the US. Whole websites are devoted to the
fantasy world of Gor and it is beyond the scope of this brief guide to
deal in depth with its complicated structures, language and customs. If
you're curious, read any of the novels. |
