Hood
Parts of the hood; the leather ball, the strap attached at the front of it, and the belt,
with its double loop, on the outside, held in place by the belt loops, at its opening.
Some hoods are little more than sacks, of canvas or leather, with drawstrings. A small
padlock, passes through two rings, the buckle ring and one of the small rings, sewn in
the belt.
Mercenaries of Gor pg 75
Iron Belt
This belt consisted of two major pieces; one was a rounded, fitted, curved bar like
waistband, flattened at the ends; one end of this band, that on the right, standing
behind the woman and looking forward, had a heavy semicircular ring, or staple,
welded onto it; the other flattened end of the waistband, looking forward, had a slot in
it which fitted over the staple; the other major portion of this belt consisted of a
curved band of flat, shaped iron' one end of this flat band was curved about, and
closed about, the bar like waistband in the front; this produces a hinge; the flat,
U-shaped strap of the iron swings on this hinge; on the other end of this flat band of
the iron is a slot; it fits over the same staple as the slot in the flattened end of the left
side of the bar like waistband. The belt is then put in the woman in this fashion. The
waistband is closed about her, the left side, its slot penetrated by the staple, over the
right side; the flat U-shaped band of iron, contoured to female intimacies, is then
swung up on its hinge between her thighs, where the slot on its end is penetrated by
the staple, this keeping the part of the belt in place. The whole apparatus is then
locked on her, the tongue of a padlock thrust through the staple, the lock then
snapped shut.

Leash
Some fifteen feet in length. When used in leading, this amount of length would not be
used, but would be coiled in the grasp of the master. The length is useful if the slave is
expected to perform leash dances, is to be bound with the leash, or if, it doubled at the
master's end, it is to be used to train or discipline her.

Sexual Disciplines
1) dominate the slave making her feel her womanhood, and it's relationship to the
male, and then, her belly ready, aching, vulnerably aflame, helplessly stirred, you send
her packing;
2) whip the girl, then fling her to the ground, thrust her about, let her feel the side of a
foot, such things, and then when wished, kneel her, her head to the ground, and used
her.

bars, perpendicular to its long axis, padlocked, in front, in place.
Captive of Gor pgs 313-314, Kajira of Gor pg 148
Slave Goad
Rather like the tarn goad, except that it is designed to be used as an instrument for the
control of human beings rather than tarns….Unlike the tarn goad which has a simple
on-off switch in the handle, the slave goad works with both a switch and a dial, and
the intensity of the charge administered can be varied from an infliction which is only
distinctly unpleasant to one which is instantly lethal. The slave goad, unknown in most
Gorean cities, is almost never used except by professional slavers, probably because
of the great expense involved.
Assassin of Gor pgs 84-85
Slave Hobble
Consists of two rings, one for a wrist, the other for ankle, joined by about seven
inches of chain. In a right handed girl, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. When
a girl kneels, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or
free, it is not uncomfortable.
Nomads of Gor pgs 154-155

the slave sack is, incidentally, a familiar form of light punishment for a girl.
Fighting Slave of Gor pg 244, Kajira of Gor pg 273
Sleen Death
A girl is stripped, each ankle bound widely apart to stakes, her wrists also bound
widely apart to stakes, her thigh is cut and blood is smeared on her belly to draw the
animal. This is done when there is no longer a use for a girl.
Hunters of Gor pgs 230-231, Captive of Gor pgs 230-231
Stimulation Cage
An ornately barred, low ceiling cage, about five feet high, rather roomy. The girl in the
stimulation cage is not permitted to look into the eyes of a male, not even a male
slave. This is designed to make her extremely conscience of males. Accouterments
include: brushes, perfumes, cosmetics, slave jewelry, heavy necklaces, armlets,
bracelets, and bangles. There is no clothing. There are cushions, bowls of copper, and
lamps of brass. There are surfaces of varying textures: deep piled rug, satins, silk,
coarsely woven cloths, brocades, rep cloth, a tiled corner, sleen pelt, cloths woven of
strung beads, cloaks of leather and mats of reed. The point is to bring the senses to
life.
Tribesmen of Gor pg 24

Often used on a girl when she is guilty of minor indiscretions or tiny misdemeanors. It
is thought a fitting instrument for encouraging a beauty to be more careful or zealous
in her service.

drilled in the center and near the extremities. Fits behind the girl's neck, a long simple
thong of rawhide fastens the girl in place. Smaller yokes can be fashioned to secure a
slave for other purposes, such as enjoyment in the furs. An effective way of securing
a slave.
Savages of Gor pgs 281-282, Beasts of Gor pgs 196-197
Yoke, Stock
Normally a pair of hinged planks, with matched semi circular openings in the planks.
The head and wrists are aligned with the openings, the planks then closed are either
tied or locked shut. This stock yoke is sometimes placed on a girl while she is on her
back. If the planks are sufficiently wide enough, the girl is unable to see the actions of
the Master, she can only feel it.
