Came for this. Was not disappointed.

Also, Norman seems to be a bit frustrated with humanity in general:
“One of these worlds was a world poisoning itself, a pathological world insane and short-sighted, greed-driven and self-destructive. The other was a pristine world, virginal in its beauty and fertility, one not permitted by its masters, called the Sardar, or Priest-Kings, to follow the example of its tragic sister. Priest-Kings would not permit men to destroy Gor. They are not permissive; they are intolerant of geocide. Perhaps it is hard to understand why they do not permit men to destroy Gor”

And the cornfield outside the city gates.
That movie is a precious jewel.

Not so racy, but it is also cool anyway…

And a random addition: turns out that I didn’t drop Gor as fast as I would’ve thought now, 30+ years later and peeking into the English editions: turned out that the German translations I read were heavily edited to avoid a triple-× rating (basically censoring, though).
And from what I remember of the German novels, the editing was mostly dropping huge chunks of slave/master dialogues and similar sermons, while the rape scenes are as non-explicit as they seem to be in the English originals.

“You do not dare to translate me!” laughed the huge chunk of slave/master dialogue.

One would assume that Germans would like overly long philosophical texts, but though.
