And I must admit that, as one becomes more enculturated here, more aware of the Gorean ethos, and Gorean customs, values and views on such matters, and comes to understand how one is viewed here, one tends to become more and more sensitive to such things. - (Prize of Gor, Chapter 16, Sentence #537)
