Detailed Explanation
Panther girls, also known as a forest girls or panther women, are bands of women who live outside of Gor's patriachal society. A Gorean is someone who participates in lifestyle dynamics inspired by the Gor book series by John Norman. For many Goreans, these dynamics go beyond kink, and many Goreans are not into, or do not consider themselves into, BDSM.
Panther girls reject male-dominated culture, living in all-female, tribal-style groups. In the Gor books, they are usually depicted as wearing furs, skins, or leather. They may be armed with bows, spears, or knives. Some, but not all, are former kajirae, or female slaves. They’re often portrayed as huntresses and outlaws. But, at least within the novels, they usually end up reabsorbed into Gor’s submission-based system.
In kink and Gor roleplay, panther girls tend have feral qualities and primal energy.
This roleplay is often done in online Gorean communities, tabletop and live-action roleplay, and kink scenes.
