A couple can be D/s-M/s all their life and not once mix with another BDSM person. So yes, you can be Gorean and not part of the bdsm SCENE. I do agree that Gor is a subset of BDSM though. The first Gor novel came out after "The Story of O". The default slave position in Gor - nadu, is exactly the same as the slave position in 'O'. Since 'O' was the forerunner to the modern BDSM scene, and John Norman used positions and ideas AFTER the 'O' book came out, then its roots in BDSM cannot be denied. Even some in the BDSM scene do not use safe words. However, this usually only happens between long term, committed couples who know each other well. I have always felt sex has little to do with the scene. Yes it can be arousing and many may use sex during a part of a scene or part of their particular take on BDSM, but it's not automatically a part of it. There are some submissives who go into service of others their whole life and do not have sex with the person they serve. Some are in the scene because of a particular fetish only, which never involves sex. Personally, I think the only thing that is automatically a part of BDSM is whether you are a Dominant or a submissive. Without that, to me you are not in the BDSM scene, but in the kink/fetish scene. More than likely, the reason Goreans don't like being part of the BDSM scene is because it's too liberal for them. They have a very strict take on what you can and can't do and will not accept a Mistress or male sub/slave at all. Switching, cross dressing and many other things would be anathema to them as well.
