Hmmm good question. I am not sure. I mean I know we take something different from the books not only as genders but individuals too. When I read them, it's more for understanding and dynamics of the people within Norman's world we call Gor. I get from it Gorean philosophy. All women have a submissive part of them, in my opinion. Just that some have more dominance than submissiveness. I can only imagine what men get from the books. Honor, how to own, train, form, teach, and discipline a s slave girl. How to live, thrive, rejoice.
To me it's like opening a full refrigerator and one person going oooh "Juice" and the next saying. "Milk!" There's so much in there for you to take according to your preference.
