A slave is an animal

"Yes, my dear, you are legally an animal. In the eyes of Gorean law you are an animal. You have no name in your own right. You may be collared and leashed. You may be bought and sold, whipped, treated as the master pleases, disposed of as he sees fit. You have no rights whatsoever. Legally, you have no more status than a tarsk or a vulo. Legally, literally, you are an animal."

-- Explorers of Gor, pg 316 ---


Bara

~ Sliding forward slowly until breasts push against the cold stones... strawberry tresses flutter forward over gentle shoulders as girl's head turns to the left, right cheek placed upon the ground, slender arms slide down to the sides bending at the elbows so wrists cross upon lower back, long slender legs straightening and crossing at delicate ankles.

*In this position the slave falls to her stomach face down to the floor and turned to the left, crosses her wrists behind her back and similarly crosses her ankles her legs straight in preparation for binding. Position also used for : punishments, display or transportation of slaves*

"Bara, Kajira!" he said. She rolled quickly to her stomach, placing her wrists behind her, crossed, and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound.
-- Explorers of Gor pg 77

"Bara," said Mincon to Tula. "Bara," said I to Feiqua. Both slaves went immediately to their bellies, their heads to the left, their wrists crossed behind their backs, their ankles also crossed. It is a common binding position. We did not bother to bind them, however. It was enough that they lay there in this position.

Blanket

When a blanket or cloak or covering of any sort is thrown over a slave girl she may not speak or rise; she must remain silent until the blanket is lifted by a free person. ( not a position, but is a response to having a blanket upon her and then removed)

~ Looks up, face creased with the lines of millions of shameful scared tears, hair tangled, knees together, red from kneeling so long, afraid to even tremble, hands shaking upon tight sore thighs, back slow to straighten as a crack is heard, creases from the weight of the blanket visible upon damp silks and back. blue-grays eyes wide begging mercy, small lower lip quivering in shallow breath, cheeks flush, looking in horrifying remembrance of what a girl did

~ water from the soul streaks down tender rose cheeks, as merciful eyes look up, trembling in fear of never being forgiven, shame filled and terrified, a pitiful slave looks up, heart pounding in pain, lower lip quivering, body showing how much she
begs to have yesterday forgotten, lips sealed by Masters word, eyes drop to the ground in submission, a willowy body shudders, then calms to steady petrified shiver.

"I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket over her, covering her completely. When a blanket, or cloak, or covering of any sort, is thrown over a slave like this she may not speak or rise. She must remain as she is, silent, until the master , or some free man, lifts the covering away."

Belly

~ a willowy form falling to cold stones, gentle forehead pressed flat against the surface, gentle arms clasped upon small of back, straining to keep knees off the floor, a girl wiggles by crawling with toes and forehead to her Master, whimpering in submission

*A form of obeisance position with a girl on her belly and her head to boot or floor, palms pressed flat to floor; variations can include kissing the Master's boot. *

"Now," I said, "for a third form of obeisance. You may 'belly' to me." "I do not understand," she whispered. "There are various forms of bellying," I said, "and bellying may be suitably and pleasingly combined with other forms of floor movements, approaching the Master on all fours, turning to your sides and back, writhing before him, and so on. We will take a very simple variation, suitable for an ignorant free female who has not yet even begun to discover the depths of her sexuality." She looked up at me. "On your belly," I said. She backed off a bit, and went to her belly. Her hair was before her face, as she now on her belly before me, looked up at me. "Now inch forward," I said, 'remaining low on your belly, and when you reach my feet, once again, as before, lifting your head a little, tenderly and humbly, and beautifully, as though you were a slave, lick and kiss them. Good. Good. Now take my foot and place it gently on your head. Very good. Now place it again on the mat, and kiss it again. Good. You may now belly back a little, humbly. I have not yet given you permission to rise of course."
-- Mercenaries of Gor pg 410

"Approach me on your belly," I said. She squirmed to the table, her hands still behind her.

Bound by Master's will

Refers to a slave being commanded to hold position, as though bound, hands clasping opposite wrists until she is released.

Hold whatever position and put hands wrist holding wrist until released.

"Stand," he said. We both stood. "Belt," he said. I reached behind me to undo the double belt of coins, with its two loops, one high one low. The coins on the belt, as well as those on the necklace, would be counted by Mints. "You look well with your hands behind your back," he said. I looked up. "Your hands are now bound behind your back," he said. "Yes, Master," I said. I must now keep my hands or wrists in contact with one another and behind my back. I was now "bound by the master's will." I could not separate my hands or wrists from one another now without permission. There are many ways, of course; of "binding by the master's will." The behind-the-back position is one of the simplest and loveliest. This exposes the girl, frames the beauty of her breasts and makes her helpless. That the bond is a "will bond," too, makes clear to her the power of the master over her. Another common bond of this sort is when the girl must kneel, grasping her ankles. Another is when she is forced to sit and reach forward between her legs, passing the right arm from inside the right thigh to outside and beneath the right calf, to grasp the right ankle from the outside, and the left arm from inside the left thigh to outside and beneath the left calf, to grasp the left ankle in the same way. In this position she is helpless and cannot rise. Too, after a time, it becomes apparent to her that she also cannot close her legs. A girl may be kept in such bonds for hours. Too, of course, she may be tied in such positions. There are also, of course, different ways of decreeing such bonds. For example, with the behind-the--back-hands-tied bond in which I had been placed I could have been informed, but had not been, that my shoulders were pulled tightly back, which, of course, forces the breasts forward for the pleasure, or attentions, of the master. "I think I shall find it difficult to remove the belt," I smiled, "bound as I am." He stood close to me, and put his arms about me. "I shall remove it," he said. Tupita came then through the beaded curtain. She glanced at me. She was not pleased to see me in the arms of Mints, who was a desirable male, and first among my master's men. She looked at me in hatred. She did not think twice about the position of my hands. She could see. I had been "bound by the master's will." It could have been done as easily to her, at a word.

Bracelets, or Chaining Position

The slave girl on command thrusts her hands behind her back wrists together in preparation to be braceleted.

-Kneeling-
~ kneels, thighs spread wide, back arched, arms extended before her/his with wrists pressed together, head held high with eyes lowered submissively

"Bracelets," he snapped. She put her head in the air and placed her hands behind her back.

He had removed a pair of light bracelets, joined by about five inches of light chain, from his pouch. "Slave bracelets," he said. "Turn around, facing the door, your hands behind your back."
-- Kajira of Gor pg 132

Chaining Under the Moons

A slave will sometimes be chained naked under the 3 moons of Gor. It gives her time to reflect on her actions, gives her time to think. Usually results in the girl to the 'dance of madness of her need'.

Then I began to dance the madness of my need, writhing beneath the moons of Gor, clutching at them, turning, stamping my feet, swirling, crying out.
And when I could dance no more I fell to the grass, writhing, tearing at it, whimpering.
And as I gasped, and wept,..."

Collaring Position - Submission of the Gorean female

The slave kneels before the Master, back on her heels, arms extended, head down between her arms, wrists crossed as though for binding.

"She came and stood before me, and then dropped to her knees, resting back on her heels. She lowered her head and extended her arms, wrists crossed, the submission of the Gorean female."
-- Raiders of Gor pg 92

"Assume the posture of female submission," I told her. She did so, kneeling back on her heels, her arms extended, wrists crossed, her head between them, down. She was weeping."
-- Tribesmen of Gor pg 359

He took his strap off her throat, and unbound her hands."Submit" I told her. She knelt before me, back on her heels, arms extended, head down, between her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding. "I submit to you, Master," she said. I tied her hands together; she then lowered her bound wrists; I pulled up her head. I held before her an opened collar, withdrawn from my sea bag. I had had one prepared.
-- Explorers of Gor pg 74

"He twisted her hair more. She winced, her back bent painfully. "Do you wish me to submit to you now?" she begged. "Do so," said he. She fell to her knees before him, and lifted her head to regard him. "I will be your slave," she said. Then, she knelt back on her heels, lowered her head, and lifted and extended her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding. She was very beautiful. "I am your slave," she said, "- Master."

Common Capture Tie (also known as theWaist Tie )

The current position of her left hand is just above her left hip and her right hand just above her right hip. The tie is accomplished as follows : one wrist is tightly encircled by the cord and bound within it, about 18 inches in from one end of the cord. The longer length of the same cord is then taken about her belly and the other wrist is then tied within it, on the other side of her body, leaving some 18 inches of cord on the other side of the tie. The cord is then drawn back about her belly and the two free ends tied together behind her back. The result is that her hands are held apart, on opposites side of her body, and that neither hand can reach a knot, either at a wrist or behind the back

Crawl

A basic command given for a slave to crawl.

"I pointed to the stones at my feet. "Crawl," I said, in Gorean. The girl slipped to her belly, and, as a slave girl, crawled to my feet. She put her lips to my foot; I felt her hair over it."
-- Tribesmen of Gor pg 78

Display position

A command given for a slave to display her beauty and willingness to be found desirable.

~ standing, feet a little more than shoulders width apart, shoulders rolled back, fingers laced behind neck, face turned to the left, eyes lowered Inspection Similar to display however the hips are tilted towards the free, one leg is moved to the side, knee bent, with toe pointed, this opens up the slaves flower for better viewing and inspecting.

*Inspection similar to display however the hips are tilted towards the free, one leg is moves to the side, knee bent, with toe pointed, this opens up the slaves flower for better viewing and inspecting.*

"The auctioneer did not strike her with his whip. He merely took her arms and lifted them, so that the position chain, attached to each side of the sales collar lay across her upper arms. Then he had her clasp her hands behind the back of her neck, so that the chain, on each side of the collar, was in the crook of her arms, and she was exposed in such a way that she could be properly exhibited."
-- Explorers of Gor pg 36


Eat a pastry slowly

When a slave is told to eat pastry in this fashion, she knows that she is too barely touch it, and then only once in while, with her small teeth. Rather, primarily, almost entirely, she is to address herself to it with her tongue. This puts her under good discipline, is a good exercise for the tongue and tends to increase sexual heat. In the case of the free woman the tongue is usually something, which serves rather conventional purposes, for example it helps her talk. In the case of the slave girl however it serves other purposes as well.

Gag Law

A command. When given this command a slave is forbidden speech.

"When she had been used before my kennel, she had been under "gag law," as is common when the guards use a girl, forbidden speech, save for moans and whispers."
-- Dancer of Gor pg 65

*When in Gag, one whimper for "yes", two whimpers for "no"

Gorean Love Bow

A girl is arched backward and sometimes bound over an object for usage exposing her fully to the Master.

"Under the torchlight Phyllis Robertson was now on her knees, the Warrior at her side, holding her behind the small of the back. Her head went farther back, as her hands moved on the arms of the Warrior, as though once to press him away, and then again to draw him closer, and her head then touched the furs, her body a cruel, helpless bow in his hands, and then, her head down, it seemed she struggled and her body straightened itself until she lay, save for her head and heels, on his hands clasped behind her back, her arms extended over her head to the fur behind her."
-- Assasins of Gor pg 186

"He thrust her two wrists, before her body, into the ring he had cut from the Kur. He then tied them inside, and to, the ring. He then, from his belt, took a length of binding fiber and doubling it, looped it, securing it, at it's center to the ring, leaving two long ends. He then threw her, on her back, over the body, head down, of the fallen Kur. He took the two loose ends of the binding fiber and, taking them under the body of the fallen Kur, dragged her wrists, elbows bent, over and above her head; he then, bending her knees, tied one of the loose ends about her left ankle, and the other about her right. It was the Gorean love bow."

Heel

The slave follows the Master at his heel, 'where she belongs'. Slightly behind and to his left or right, depending on which side is his weapon hand. The distance behind varies. A coffle of girls being led through a city, may follow inches behind, while in an open field, she may be 5 to 10 feet following.

"He turned about and, with his weapons, strode from the camp. I followed him, at his heel, where a slave girl belongs."
-- Slave Girl of Gor pg 109

"The girl normally heels a right-handed Master on the left, that she not encumber the movements of the weapon hand."
-- Magicians of Gor pg 117

"The Forkbeard turned about and, one arm about Pudding, the other about Gunnhild, started from the dock. Hilda followed him, to his left. 'She heels nicely,' said Ottar. The men and bond-maids laughed. The Forkbeard stopped. Hilda's face burned red with fury, but she kept her head high. Pet sleen are taught to heel; so, too, sometimes, are bond-maids; I was familiar with this sort of thing, of course; in the south it was quite common for slave girls; in various fashions in various cities, to heel their masters. Hilda, of course, was a free woman. For her to heel was an incredible humiliation. The Forkbeard started off again, and then again stopped. Again, Hilda followed him as before. 'She is heeling!' laughed Ottar."
-- Marauders of Gor pg 123

"These things vary, I learned from city to city, and depend, also, on such matters as context and conditions. In a market, in the crowding and jostling for instance, a girl may follow so closely she pressed against the back of his left shoulder. Girls seldom follow behind and on the right. If she is thusly placed it is commonly a sign she is in disfavor. If more than one girl is involved, she who follows most closely on the left is generally taken to be in highest favor; girls compete for this position. In an open area, such as the fields in which we trekked, the girl is placed some five or ten feet behind, and on the left. If he must move suddenly she will not, thusly, constitute an impediment to his action.
-- Slave Girl of Gor pg 30


High Harness

A display position in which a kneeling slave is braceleted and leashed and commanded to hold her head very high exposing her neck.

"Lift your head, " he said. "Higher. Higher!" She looked up at him, her head far back, the leash on her throat. "You need not now keep your head in high-harness position," he said to the girl. She moved her head.

Karta / Tile (online/cyberism)

Basic Position. Also commonly referred to as Obeisance, or karta (online term).

"As we approached, she oriented herself towards us, palms of her hands on the floor, and put her head to the tiles. But, as we neared her, she lifted her head, desperately. "Hermidorus!" she cried, suddenly. "Hermidorus!"
He stopped before her, a few feet from her, and we stopped too, behind him.
Do you not know me?" she begged. The chain she wore was a work sirik. It resembles the common sirik but the wrists, to permit work, are granted about a yard of chain. Like the common sirik, it is a lovely chain.Women are beautiful in it. "Deirdre!" she cried. "Deidre! Two years ago in Ar we lived in the same building!"
He looked at her, not speaking.
"Deidre," she whimpered.
"In the instant you were inbonded, you ceased to be Deirdre, Girl," he said.
"Girl?" she said.
"What is your house name?" he asked.
"Oh no," she said. "Not you! Not you, of all people! You do not see me as a slave! You could not see me as a slave! I know you. That would be impossible! You could not relate to me as though I might be a slave! You could not! One such as you would never enforce my slavery upon me! One such as you could never do so!"
Then she looked up at him, her lower lip trembling. " 'Renata' is my house name," she said.
He then removed the belt from his tunic. The accouterments on it he handed to Drusus Rencius.
"You lifted your head from the tile position before free persons had passed you, Renata," he said "You also addressed a free man twice by his name. Similarly your speech has been inadequately differential. It has not been interspersed, at the appropriate points, for example, by the _expression 'Master'. You have also referred to yourself as though you still might be Deidre. Such falsifications of identity are not permitted to slaves. Deirdre is gone. In her place there is now only a slave, an animal, who must wear whatever name her Master choose to put on her. Similarly, when asked a question, that pertaining to your house name, you did not respond with sufficient promptness. Do you understand all that I am saying, fully and clearly, Renata?" She looked up at him, tears in her eyes, "Yes Master," she said.

What is a Karta? (cyber-ism)

Karta, begging and Obedience position A Karta is a position used when entering a tavern, inn, house, or to make a request of a Master. It is used to show respect and honor to the place that a slave is entering. If a Master, or Owner of the home is not pleased with the entrance and that is has not shown true submission and love, or respect, for the place one wishes to enter, they cannot allow a person to enter that space. It is still a good idea to make them as expressive and sensual as possible as to please those within and allow one entry. A karta also shows Obedience, in which you are showing yourself desiring to submit, and please. One bends to their kneels, usually slightly parted so their body can bend forward, sometimes laying flat on ones front. Hands are above the head towards the door, fingers spread, and forehead can be on the ground. It was made up originally because some of the girls were forgetting what their place in the home and society was. They started thinking that they could go anywhere they wanted and do anything they wished. The position was made up to remind them that they aren't better, and aren't allowed to do anything without permission. The position shows that you understand this and submit to it.

Karta Example

~ The moonlight dances upon soft skin as a willowy form moves small thighs upon misty ground, the shapely form bending with arms sliding forward towards the open door palms kissing cold stones as fingers spread slowly, strawberry hair covering twinkling blue eyes as a whisper leaves supple lips like wind begging to enter....

Karta, to Full Karta

~ sinking lower at the entrance, sliding her long delicate finger's over the cold stones until her long delicate legs shift out and balance upon chilled ground, she lays flat on her tummy, breast and forehead all kissing the coolness her mind racing when she thinks of the many Master's who have crossed over the very place she lies, arms out reached in front of her, palms face down, finger's splayed she whispers...

When to Karta / Whem not to

One should enter the room and see what is going on. If a place or home stone was under attack one would not karta in the time of war. You would not karta if entering during a meeting, council or scene. You do no karta if you have just left and are not gone longer than 10 to 15 minutes. You karta when you first enter a room, and any time after that if gone for a long period of time. You karta each time you enter a new room.

Yellow silk Karta

~ The moonlight dances upon silky skin, as a firm form moves sensual thighs upon the misty ground, the elegant form bending and pressing perky breasts against cold stones. Thin arms drift against creases of silk and move stretched to the door, damp fingers spread, supple lips pressing lightly upon the ground which Masters and Mistress have walked before in worship of them, blue portals peeking into the room slightly covered by strawberry wisps, the stones warm slightly in excitement from her heat, a soft gasp of desire leaves her lips… may a girl enter

Red silk Karta

~ The moonlight dances upon a silhouette, bare feet step softly to the place of entry, lowering instinctively into a kneel, supple thighs spread wide, allowing the willowy form to bow forward until the creamy swells of delicately rounded breasts press their heat against the very cool stones as tiny arms snake up passed an undulating body, through strawberry tresses of silky smooth mane until completely extended overhead, tender palms face down with graceful fingers splayed in show of her submission or supplication, in a harmonious whisper a girl begs the honor of entering this fine Home.


Master's Kiss

The master takes the slaves hair in his hand and yanks back her head hard as he pulls back on her hair exposing her neck and face to him. He attacks her lips with his own kissing her passionately and powerfully, taking her top lip in his teeth he bites down on it and then takes her bottom lip and sucking on it bites down on it as well as he continues to kiss her.. He then kisses her exposed neck. and drags his tongue across her neck and into the warmth.

Nadu

Gorean position of the pleasure slave and usually the first slave position taught to a new girl. A kneeling slave is directed to straighten her back and sit on her heels, lifting her head, and placing her hands, palms down, on her thighs. There are a couple of examples which suggest a variation of uplifted palms, though this appears to be an exception to the basic position.

"Nadu!" he snapped. She swiftly turned, facing him, and dropped to her knees. She knelt back on her heels, her back straight, her hands on her thighs, her head up, her knees wide. It was the position of the pleasure slave.
-- Explorers of Gor pg 77

She knelt in the position of the Pleasure Slave but her hands on her thighs had unconsciously, pleadingly, turned their palms to me, and she no longer knelt quite back on her heels. It was as though she begged to be allowed to lift and open her arms and rise and come to my arms. But as I looked upon her sternly she turned her palms again to her thighs, knelt back on her heels and dropped her head, holding her eyes as if by force of will fixed on the plastic beneath my sandals.
-- Priest Kings of Gor pgs 234-235

" Come now, my pretty slaves,' said Ginger, 'kneel straight. Back straight, heads up. Back on your heels there! Spread those pretty knees. Yes, that is the way men like it. Put your hands, palms down, on your thighs. Good. good. Excellent!' The girls now knelt in the coffle as pleasure slaves."
-- Savages of Gor pg 155

"Kneel, back on your heels," said the trainer to the dark-haired woman. "Straighten your back, suck in your gut, put your shoulders back, thrust out your breasts, spread your knees, widely, lift your chin, put your hands on your thighs. You are not going to be sold as a Tower Slave, Lady Tina. You are going to be sold as a Pleasure Slave."
-- Kajira of Gor pa 141

Seeing my eyes upon her she then knelt on the surface of the couch, kneeling back on her heels, spreading her knees, straightening her back, lifting her head, and putting her hands on her thighs. It is a common kneeling position for a female slave.

Obeisance

A position of extreme deference which is described as a slave deeply bowing her head from the basic pleasure slave position, often flattening her palms against the floor and leaning forward to lick and kiss the boots of a Free person.


Swiftly we assumed a common form of slave obeisance, kneeling, the palms of our hands on the ground, our heads to the ground. Many masters, though it tends to be rather associated usually with given cities, require this position of their girls, usually when they first enter his presence or find themselves, as in a room which he has entered, in his presence. She is then, usually, when given permission, permitted to lift her head, but is to remain kneeling before him, beautifully, in a standard position, her knees closed if she is a house or tower slave, her knees open if she was the sort of slave I was, whatever sort of slave that was supposed to be.
-- Dancer of Gor pg 15

"There are many ways to perform obeisance. "I said. "I am a free woman," she said, " I know none of them." "I shall instruct you briefly in three," I said. " First kneel before me, back on your heels, yes, with your knees wide, wider, your hands on your thighs, your back straight, your breasts out, good, your belly in, good, and now lower your head in deference, in submission." "Now that," I said, " may not be exactly a form of obeisance, for authorities do not all agree, but for our purposes we shall count it as one. It is, at any rate, a beautiful position, and it is, certainly, a common position of slave submission."
"Now" I said, " and this is clearly a form of obeisance, bend forward and put your head to the mat, the palms of your hands on the mat. Good. Now lift your head little and come forward, substantially keeping the position. Forward a little more." "But then my face will be at your feet," she said," My lips will be over them!" "Yes," I said, "Good, now, put your head down and lick and kiss my feet." "I am a free Woman!" She said. "You are a woman," I said," now softly lingeringly, and lovingly, Good." "I am not a slave," she said "All women are slaves, "I said. " Imagine what this would be like if you were truly a collared slave." She gasped. "Now" I said, "for a third form of obeisance. You may belly to me." "I do not understand," she whispered. "There are various forms of bellying," I said, and bellying may be suitably and pleasingly combined with other forms of floor movements, approaching the Master on all fours, turning to your sides and back, writhing before him, and so on. We will take a very simple variation, suitable for an ignorant free female who has not yet even begun to discover the depths of her sexuality." She looked up at me. "On your belly," I said. She backed off a bit, and went to her belly. her hair was before her face, as she now on her belly before me looked up at me. "Now inch forward," I said, " remaining low on your belly, and when you reach my feet, once again, as before, lifting your head a little, tenderly and humbly, and beautifully, as though you were a slave, lick and kiss them. Good. Good. Now take my foot and place it gently on your head. Very good. Now place it again on the Mat, and kiss it again. Good. You may now belly back a little, humbly. I have not yet given you permission to rise of course."

Knee Crawl

A slave travels on knees, without standing, to fetch items or tend to duties.
" I indicated a flat leather box to one side. " Knee Crawl," I said, "Fetch it here." She went to the box on her knees and picked it up, and returned to a place before me. It had been a simple knee crawl. I was briefly reminded, however, of the Turian Knee Walk, sometimes used by slave dancers.

Kneel

Basic Command

"It is almost universal, as far as I know, that a slave kneels in one fashion or another when entering her master's presence, or if she should find herself in his presence. She commonly kneels when spoken to by any free person. This is simply a matter of respect. To be sure, she can be slain if she does not do so. The kneeling position, of course, which the master's, or free person's, permission, either tacit or explicit, is usually required to break, is commonly an initial position. For example, after its deferential assumption, she may be dismissed from it, to other duties, such as cleaning, shopping or cooking. "

Kneel to be Coffled

A command given for a slave or slaves to kneel and prepare to be coffled.

"Kneel to be coffled," said one of the men. The girls knelt, closely, one behind the other, there were six wrist rings on the chain he carried. He placed the girl who had been whipped by Lady Sabina first in the coffle line. "Left wrist coffle," he said. They lifted their left wrists, frightened. Interestingly, the man snapping the wrist rings on the girls´ left wrists did not put the first girl in the first ring, but the second. When the four maids were coffled there was, thus, an empty wrist ring both at the head and rear of the line. "Stand, Slaves," said the man. "Lower chain." The girls stood. Then, ordered, the lowered their wrists. They were then in line, standing, coffled."

Kneel to the Whip

This command orders a slave to kneel, bowing her head to her knees, her wrists crossed under her as though bound. The position is intended to expose her back to the whip.

"Kneel to the whip, Melpomene!' she ordered her. Melpomene then, sobbing, knelt, her legs close together, her wrists held crossed under her, as though bound, her head down, touching the floor, the bow of her back exposed, a slave girl awaiting punishment."
-- Fighting Slave of Gor pg 284

"Elizabeth, trembling, lowered her head to the floor and crossed her wrists beneath her, kneeling, as it is said, to the whip."
-- Assassin of Gor pg 46

"I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet. I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip."
-- Captive of Gor pg 200

"I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip. I shook, visibly, at his feet. I whimpered. I waited for him to call a guard, to bring the lash."

Leading Position

Posture of a slave girl bending forward at the waist with her head at a master's hip so that he may grab her hair and guide her where he wishes her to go.

"Leading position, said Drusus Rencius. I swiftly put my head down and felt his fingers lock themselves deeply in my hair. I turned my head and pressed my lips suddenly, helplessly, to his thigh, kissing him. He twisted my head cruelly to the side, holding it there, turned, so that my lips could not touch him.
-- Kajira of Gor pg 134

"`Leading position,' he said. Sobbing, she rose to her feet, and put her head down, at what would be the height of a man's waist, her legs flexed. A guard walked over and fastened his hand in her hair. `Have her whipped,' said Policrates. `Yes, Captain,' said the man. He then left the chamber, pulling the girl, sobbing, at his side."
-- Rogue of Gor pg 248

"I then snapped my fingers and held my right hand, open, at my hip. Swiftly the girl rose to her feet and, half crouching, put her head by my hand. I fastened the fingers of my hand deeply and firmly in her red hair. She winced, and kissed at my thigh. I then, the goblet of paga in my left hand, her hair in my right, dragged her beside me, her slender chains rustling, to the nearest alcove."
-- Rogue of Gor

I held my left hand open, at my waist. She stiffened, and looked at me, angrily. I opened and closed my left hand once. I saw her training in Gorean customs had been thorough. But she never thought that such a gesture would be used to her. She came beside me, and a bit behind me, and, crouching, put her head down, deeply. I fastened my hand in her hair. She winced. Women are helpless in this position."
-- Beasts of Gor pg 409

Leasha or Lesha

The slave remains standing or kneeling, depending upon her current position. She turns away from her Master, tilting up her chin and turns her head to the left as a leash is attached to her collar. Her wrists are extended behind her to be locked into slave bracelets or otherwise bound.


"Leasha!" he said. Immediately, responsive to this command, I flung my wrists behind me, separated by some two inches, and lifted my chin, my head turned to the left. I felt slave bracelets flung, snapping shut, on my wrists. I was braceleted. In another moment I was leashed.
-- Dancer of Gor pg 365

"Lesha," snapped the second officer to the blond girl. She spun from facing him, and lifted her chin, turning her head to the left, placing her wrists behind her, as though for snapping them into slave bracelets.

Placate

A plea made by a slave, or command given by a Master

She trembled. I now stood over her, the slave whip in my hand. I drew it back, then I threw it aside, angrily. I crouched down. Then I jerked her head up, by the hair "Permission to placate," she begged, reaching for me with her lips and mouth. But I held her, by the hair, from me. She whimpered, denied. Then I released her hair and permitted her to touch me. "Thank you, Master," she whispered. She was a slave. I would permit her to attempt to placate me, in one of the ancient fashions of the female slave.

Relieving oneself like an Animal:

A man slid the bowl back to me. "Relieve yourself," he said.
I squated shamed, over the bowl. . . I was still squatting over the bowl. I looked up and met the eyes of the other fellow, he who had slid the bowl back to me, he who had ordered me to relieve myself. They were stern. "Yes, Master," I said. Quickly then I relieved myself. I thought to myself with bitter amusement how Teibar, my Teibar, might have smiled, to see me squatting here, his "modern woman," now a frightened slave, on his world, relieving herself at a man's command. Doubtless he had known full well, he, a native of this world, that such things would be required of me. The bowl, incidentally, is not an improper precaution. It is often used before sales. Though usually there is a liberal sprinkling of sawdust on the block it is usually there less, I think, for practical purposes than for symbolic ones, for example, making clear the animal nature of what is vended there, and for the sake of tradition. Goreans have an unusual reverence to tradition. Still it could serve. The bowl, however, is better.

Run

A command given to a slave.

"I was amused, for she had run as a slave girl is sometimes taught to run, with rapid short steps, her legs almost straight, her feet scarcely leaving the ground, back straight, head turned to the left, arms at her sides, palms out at a forty-five degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true run."
-- Assassin of Gor pg 45

Sandals

This a command for a kajira to place sandals on her master. The girl gets the sandals and kisses them. She then places the sandals on his feet, thonging them tightly, and kissing each knot as she completes it. After tying both sandals, she puts her head to his feet in a graceful gesture of submission

I then began my journey. The kissing of inanimate articles, such as a master's sandals, or the tiles on which he has walked, is used in teaching a girl respect and reverence. There was something of this involved in his command, the having to kiss the walls of his room, the furniture there, and such, but the form of the command was presumably motivated primarily by the consideration that compliance with it would guarantee a full and adequate negotiation of the room's interior perimeter.
I was then, after a time, again where I had been before on all fours, some ten feet from his chair, facing him. The leash, dangling from my collar, was now trailing behind me, between my legs.
--Kajira of Gor pg. 338

She-Sleen / She-quadruped

Also known as 'assuming the modality of the she-quadruped.' In this position the slave falls to her hands and knees her head down on the floor her hindquarters upthrust for viewing and/or her Master's pleasure.

She-quadruped a slave serve on their hands and knees, no voice or hands can be used, she must use her mouth. Some Master's will teach their slave to do tricks in this command much like a dog.

"In this form of slavery, which is commonly used for disciplinary purposes, or for the amusement of the Master, the woman is not permitted to arise from all fours; similarly she is not permitted human speech, though she may signify needs and desires by such means as cringing, and moaning and whimpering. Not permitted the use of her hands, save as a means of locomotion, she must also eat and drink from pans set on the floor, or, sometimes to satisfy her thirst, she must lap the water permitted to her from puddles or lick spillages from the tiles; too, it is no uncommon to chain her near her master's feet, while he dines, that he may, if he wishes, throw her scraps of food. She will also be taught tricks, through which paces she may be put for the entertainment of her master's guests, such things as begging, lying down, rolling over, and fetching his sandals in her teeth. And, needless to say, when her master wishes to use her sexually, it will be a position common to the she-quadruped."
-- Guardsman of Gor pg 335

In this discipline the female is forbidden human speech. She is also forbidden human posture, in the sense that she is not allowed to rise to her feet. Her locomotion, unless commanded to roll, or put under similar commands, suitable for a pet, will be on all fours. Her food will be thrown to her, or put in pans on the ground. In either case, she must feed without the use of her hands. She may also, of course, be fed by hand, but, again, will not be permitted to touch the food with her hands. She may be taught tricks. Sometimes these are taught as functions of arbitrary sounds, so that she must learn them as any animal might, without the benefit of an earlier understanding of the word used. If she is slow to learn, of course, she is punished, as would be any other animal. When used, too, it will commonly be in the modality of the she-quadrupled. This discipline is often used as a punishment, but it may figure in the training of a new girl. It helps her to understand what she now is, an animal totally subject to her master.
-- Mercenaries of Gor pg 215-216

A naked slave in sleen collar, was ordered forth on her hands and knees. A sleen leash was attached to her collar and she was marched, as a she-sleen, crawling, abused, to the rape-rack in which I had been earlier confined.
-- Slave Girl of Gor pg 238

"'Kneel,' he said, 'swiftly, facing away from me,' I obeyed, in terror, almost frenziedly. I now faced the door. 'To all fours,' he commanded I obeyed, trembling. Twice more then he struck me, the second blow, as I cried out with misery, sobbing, flung me again to the carpet on my belly. 'Kneel, as you were before," he said. I obeyed. 'All fours,' he said. I went again to all fours. He then, crouching near me, reaching about me, put the whip to my lips. I kissed it, frightened, again and again. 'kneel now, in the following fashion' he said. 'Do not waste time,' He then had me kneel with my head to the floor, my hands clasped tightly behind the back of my neck. I cried out, gasped, fixedly held, put to his fierce, disciplinary purposes. He then drew back from me. I was now on my belly on the rug, gasping in disbelief. I understood more of my slavery then, than I had before"
-- Dancer of Gor pgs 267-268

"He knelt me there. `Put your head down, to the floor,' he said. `Clasp your hands, firmly, behind the back of your neck.' `Yes, Master,' I moaned. He was then behind me. He put his hands, under my arms, on my breasts, sweetly and firmly. Then he moved his hands back, caressing my flanks. My head was down. My fingers were together, behind the back of my neck."
-- Kajira of Gor pg 434

Slave Lips

When this command is given the slave turns her head up to the Master her lips pursed in a sensual kissing position. She remains motionless her lips thusly puckered and may not move until she is granted the kiss of a Master.

"A girl who is commanded to make slave lips, or who receives the command, `Slave lips,' must form her mouth for kissing. She then, commonly, is not permitted to break this lips position until she kisses or is kissed. Needless to say, a girl cannot speak when her lips are in the unbroken, fully pursed slave lips position. The command which commonly follows the `Slave lips' command is, `Please me.'"
-- Blood Brothers of Gor pg 111

"Similarly, I was not required to respond to certain sorts of commands, for example, to make "slave lips," pursing my lips for kissing, or to writhe slowly before my viewers."
-- Kajira of Gor pg 224

Slave Rape

This is a disciplinary position wherein the slave is ordered to lie supine and motionless in preparation for usage.

"You own me," I said. "I am Your slave." "Yes?" he said. "But I am curious to know what my status is, Master." I said. I would try slylyy to determine his feelings towards me. "Your status?" he asked. "Yes," I said. "What sort of slave am I?" "What do you mean?" he asked. "Am I a high slave?" I asked. "Do you wish to be whipped?" he asked. "No,Master!" I said. "Turn about," he said. "Kneel down. Put your head to the ground, clasp your hands together, behind the back of your neck." "Yes, Master!" I wept. I hastened to obey. This is a common position for slave rape.
-- Dancer of Gor pg 457-458

"Lie down upon it," I told her, "on your back, your head to the floor." She did so. "No, please," she said, "not like this." It is a common position for a disciplinary slave rape. In it the woman feels very vulnerable, very helpless. I then took her.

Slaver's Caress

A method of touching without warning a slave girl who is being sold in order to exhibit her slave heat for potential buyers; also known as the Whip Caress as it is commonly done using a coiled whip.

"Her movements were wooden. The crowd was not pleased. There was only a two gold piece bid. Then taking the whip from the whip slave the auctioneer stepped to the disconsolate girl; suddenly, without warning, he administered to her the Slaver's caress, the whip caress, and her response was utterly, uncontrollably, wild, helpless. She regarded him in horror. The crowd howled with delight."
-- Assassin of Gor pg 294

Then, before I could realize what he intended, he had subjected Miss Cardwell to what, among slavers, is known as the Whip Caress Ideally it is done, as Kamchak had, unexpectedly, taking the girl unaware. Elizabeth suddenly cried out throwing her head to one side. I observed to my amazement the sudden, involuntary, uncontrollable response to the touch. The Whip Caress is commonly used among Slavers to force a girl to betray herself."

Stake Position

When chained at a stake the with this command the slave lies down and is not permitted to rise even to her knees.

"Amina and Rimice," he said, "I have been using as rent slaves." "I see", I said. "Stake position," said Ephialtes to the two women. Immediately they both lay down, with a sound of chain. It is not unusual to forbid a rent slave, during her use times, when chained at a stake,to rise even to her knees.

Stand

Common Command

"He looked me over. I blushed, under Gorean appraisal, I only wore my tether. "Stand as a slave," he said. I stood beautifully, back straight, head high, belly sucked in, hip turned. No woman can stand more beautifully than as a gorean slave girl. "Excellent," said Ladletender, smacking his lips. "Master is pleased," I said. "Yes," he said. "The slave too, is then pleased," I said."
-- Slave Girl of Gor pg 249

"Veck"

Command meaning "Stand"

I felt myself being rolled roughly on my back. "Veck, Kajira," said a voice, harshly. "Veck, Kajira." It was not a patient voice... I felt the point of his dagger beneath my chin. It hurt. It thrust up. I cried out, rising almost to my toes. I then stood straight before them. I stood straighter than I had ever stood in my life.

"Then she lay on her back, her knees drawn up, before me. She arched her back. Her breasts were lifted beautifully. I observed their lovely rise and fall, correlated with the respiratory cycle of her small lungs. Then she lay back, her shoulders in the dirt, and pressing against the earth with her small feet, piteously lifted before me, for my examination, and seizure, if I pleased, the deep belly of her, the sweet cradle of her slave's heat."

Tied under a Table

The Girl is placed on her hands and knees and crawls under the table, from there she is locked into position.. In such a fashion the men of Torvaldsland sometimes secure their bondmaids. They have them at hand and may use them to some extent to please them under the table. They can also be fed by hand and thrown scraps of meat.

I put her over the ring, in the midst of the chains. I clasped the ankle rings about her ankles, locking them. I thrust the short, attached chain, attached to the ankle-ring chain at one end, and the wrist-ring chain at the other, and the wrist rings, on their short chain, between her legs and through the sturdy floor ring. I then close to the floor, locked her wrists snugly into the wrist rings. She was no held helplessly in place beneath the table

Tower Slave Position

A position used frequently by domestic slaves with thighs closed and hands resting with wrists crossed on legs.

"The position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding. A free woman's wrists are never so placed."
-- Priest Kings of Gor pg 46

Example of a Tower Kneel

~ a willowy form gracefully kneels, the soft touch of the learning furs tickling her thighs that rest joined together, delicate kisses from palms that no longer tremble balanced against them, arching a twig like spine pulls in toned tummy, and chest pressed out, fragile form held stiff with chin checking the heavens in pride and eyes watching the ground.

Silent Signals

Hair Silent Command

'I held my left hand open, at my waist. She stiffened, and looked at me, angrily. I opened and closed my left hand once. I saw her training in Gorean customs had been thorough. But she never thought that such a gesture would be used to her. She came beside me, and a bit behind me, and, crouching, put her head down, deeply. I fastened my hand in her hair. She winced. Women are helpless in this position.'
--Beasts of Gor pg 409

On the Snap

If a slave is in the service of a free Gorean, and he snaps his fingers, without further motions, she goes his feet, and kneels. If she is at his feet already, she stands.
"I snapped my fingers. She knelt. I snapped my fingers again. She stood."
-- Fighting Slave of Gor pg.215

"I snapped my fingers.
`Yes Master,' she said. She approached the sound and knelt before me."
-- Fighting Slave of Gor pg.248

'He suddenly snapped his fingers and, in the swift double gesture of the Gorean Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before him, almost simultaneously turning his hand, spreading the first and index fingers, pointing downwards.
I fled to him and knelt before him, my knees in the dirt, in the position of the pleasure slave, my head down, trembling.'
-- Captive of Gor pg 143

Spacing

'The Gorean slave girl, incidentally, will space herself from her master quite differently in different situations. For example, if she is somewhat farther away, it is easier for her to display herself in all her beauty; if she wishes to wheedle for his caress she may approach quite closely; if she is receiving instructions she may kneel a few feet away; if she is begging to serve his pleasure she may kneel at his feet, perhaps kissing them. She who fears she is to be disciplined will commonly hang back; sometimes too, a girl will fear to approach too closely until the master, by an expression or small sign, indicates that she is not in obvious disfavour and may do so.
