Slave Positions

 


Jump to Position:


 

These positions may be called to a slave at any given time. Slaves are encouraged to practice them before a mirror so that the description on IRC is more flowing and so that they can accomplish them real life for their owners and other Free that they might meet. When approaching any Free Person or performing a position for them, distance is vital, try to keep in mind how close you should dare to approach. Please remember that a slave is not expected to be a rock while holding a position, there are many ways of looking vital and appealing while staying within the position ordered.

A girl, incidentally, in the position of the Gorean pleasure slave, but who is not being kept in the position as a discipline, in which case she remains rigid, is allowed much subtle latitude, which she exploits, without breaking the position. Sometimes, as she becomes animated, she rises a bit from her heels, sometimes her head moves, her eyes are alive and vital, she speaks and laughs, and, radiantly, every inch, every bit, of her alive, converses lyrically and delightedly. Any girl knows that an interesting body is a moving body. Even within the apparent restraint of the position of the pleasure slave a girl's body can be a subtle, provocative melody of motion. The interplay between the restraint of the position and her animation gives the position incredible power and beauty. Yes, power.
Slave Girl of Gor, page 36

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 disfavor and may do so.
Explorers of Gor, page 201

 

Bara

The slave moves to lay facedown upon the floor, forehead lightly touching the floor, legs straight with ankles crossed and wrists crossed at the small of the back

"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, page 77

Belly

The slave moves to her belly, hands palms down near the sides of her head, forehead to the ground and waits for further orders. This differs from bellying or "to belly" which is as much a movement as a position. (See Obesience)

"Stop," he said. "To your belly."
Then I was on my belly, on the tiles, my hands at the sides of my head, prone, before his curule chair.
Kajira of Gor, page 427

Blanket

This, while not technically a command, is still an action the slave should remember. If something is thrown over her head she must remain silent and motionless until freed from it.

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.
Explorers of Gor, page 94

Bound by Master's Will

More a command than position, one who is bound by Master's will does not move from the way she is placed without permission, as if she were truely bound.

She wore the 'bonds of the master's will.' Grunt had put her in them. She could not rise to her feet. Yet there was not a rope or strap on her body. She was 'bound by the master's will.' She could not move from this position unless, at the word of a free person, she was freed from it. To break the position otherwise is to be instantly slain.
Blood Brothers of Gor, page 248

Bracelets

In this standard binding position the girl turns to face away from the Master, back and shoulders straight, wrists held at the small of the back for ease in attaching slave bracelets

"Bracelets," he snapped. She put her head in the air and placed her hands behind her back.
Hunters of Gor, page 146

Capture Position

The slave lays down upon her back, bending her knees to place her feet flat against the ground, hands at her side and remains motionless.

"On your back," he said, "knees raised, heels on the floor." I then lay before him, in a standard, supine capture position.
Kajira of Gor, page 422

Collaring Position

Sometimes referred to as the collaring position or posture of female submission.In this position the slave kneels at the Master's feet and leans her body back, sitting upon her heels, with her arms extended upward, crossed at the wrists, and her head beneath them lowered in supplication.

"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 p359

"She is yours," he said. 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.
Explorers of Gor p74

Crawl

The slave gets down on all fours, palms to elbows flat against the floor, bottom in the air, forehead close but not quite touching the ground and crawls to within inches of the Master's feet.

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, page 78

Display Position

Stands, feet about shoulders width apart, fingers laced behind the neck with elbows back, head up and eyes lowered.

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 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, page 36

Gorean Bow

kneels in nadu position, she bends her body backwards, her head to the floor, she places her hands by her head, and pulls up into a back bend. IRC Invention based on the 'Gorean Love Bow'

He then, from his belt, took a long length of binding fiber and, doubling it, looped it, securing it at its 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.
Marauders of Gor, page 261

Hair

The girl stands and bows at the waist, letting her hair fall forward for display, to be seized or for any other purpose the Master might require.  Another varient of this position sometime used is for the slave to stay in her previous position just bowing her head and letting her hair dangle before her for whatever use required.(See also Leading Position)

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, page 409

Heel

The slave goes to the Master's left if He is right handed, right if left handed and about one and a half paces behind Him. She follows His movements from that point.

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.
Marauders of Gor, page 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 a 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, page 30

High-Harness

This is a position used most often with display slaves. The slave holds 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.
Mercenaries of Gor, pages 308-309

Kneel to the Coffle

Kneels, normally thighs parted, up upon the heels and lifts either the left or right wrist outwards, depending on the type of coffle, so that the wrist can be attached to a wrist ring within the coffle chain

"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.
Slave Gor of Gor, page 127

Kneel to the Whip

In this position the slave first assumes the Nadu position, though with her arms crossed in front of her. She then leans forward and places her head to the floor, first sweeping her hair forward over her shoulders in order that her back might be utterly exposed 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, page 284

Leading

The slave stands and moves behind her Master,slightly to His left or right side depending on which of His hands is dominant, bending at the waist. She places her hands behind her and puts the side of her head to her Master's hip, that he might lead her easily by the hair while walking.(See also Hair)

"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.
Rogue of Gor, page 248

Lesha

Kneel, thighs well parted, back straight or slightly arched, head held high, chin tilted to the left, hands at back with wrists crossed. This position is used to clip a leash onto the collar or for simple display/inspection of a slave girl.

"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.
Explorers of Gor p76

Line

when this command is given, the girls line up single file, according to height or whatever other measurement the house decides to use, such as beauty.

"Line!" called the whip Master. We sprang to our feet and swiftly aligned ourselves, single-file. the was arranged in order of height. in it we each knew our place. I was toward the back of the line. I heard snaps behind me. My left wrist was pulled back. I must keep my eyes ahead. Then i felt the manacle close on my wrist. I then felt the manacle close on my wrist.
Kajira of Gor, page 302

Modality of the She Quadruped

This is not technically a position but is definitely a command sometimes used for punishment.  When ordered into this mode the slave stays on all fours, like an animal, and cannot speak or reach for things with her hands.  she is kept quite definitely as only a mute pet much like any sleen would act. Sometimes the slave is even taught tricks she must learn without the help of verbal clues.

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.
Mercernaries of Gor, page 215

Nadu

kneel with thighs spread wide, back held straight or arched slightly, breast thrust forward, head held high with eyes lowered, sitting back on heels, hands normally resting palms down on thighs. Palms up was considered a plea for rape or sign of submission in some circumstances and wrists crossed behind the back is popular in some areas.

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, page 155

Vagabonds of Gor, page 209

Nestle

When a slave is told to nestle she fits herself against the Master's side, snuggling into the crook of His arm.

"Nestle," I told her. "Yes, Master," she said. She nestled obediently in the crook of my left arm.
Explorers of Gor, page 279

Obeisance

There are three different forms of this position though all have the same basic meaning behind it. Each is a show of female submission.
1) the slave kneels in nadu with her head lowered.
2) from nadu, the slave lowers head to the ground, placing her hands against the ground, palms lowered. (this is sometimes refered to as karta or prostration)
3) the slave moves to her belly and slowly inches forward to the Master's feet and at that point proceeds to lick and kiss at them before bellying back somewhat. (this position is known among many as the "bellying" position)

"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."
Mercenaries of Gor, pages 409-410

Prostrate

kneel and touch forehead to the floor, stretch arms out before you with palms face down and fingers spread

I knelt before the guest, putting the palms of my hands on the floor and my head to the tiles.
Kajira of Gor, page 305

Run

slave runs keeping legs rigid and unbending at the knee, short rapid steps. Feet must stay close to the surface of the floor/ground

She ran rapidly to a place before the stone platform, before the curule chair of Cernus, where she fell to her knees in the position of pleasure slave, head bowed. 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-degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true run.
Assassins of Gor, page 45

She-Sleen

In this position, which is listed in the books but was given its name on IRC, the slave moves to knees and elbows, hands clasped over your head, bottom in the air, ready for either being beaten on the bottom or being taken from behind like an animal

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 bands back, caressing my flanks. My head was down. My fingers were together, behind the back of my neck. I was in his collar. It was steel, I could not remove it. I belonged to him. My body hurt, from his whip, that of my master. My head hurt, from my hair, where I had been conducted, unceremoniously, to this location. "Please, Master," I sobbed. "Not like this! Not you, please!" "The slave is pretty," he remarked. "Oh!" I cried. "Oh!" "You have a lovely ass," he said. "Ohhh!" I said. "You may thank me," he said.
Kajira of Gor, page 434

Sit

the slave sits on her bottom, back to the wall, palms upon the floor at her side, legs extended before her, ankles crossed.

We all sat facing him, our backs against the wall of the Training room. The palms of our hands were flat on the floor at our sides and our legs were extended before us, the ankles crossed, as though bound.
Kajira of Gor, page 291

Slave Dance Position

A common position for a slave to start a dance with, the girl lifts her arms above her head, wrists crossing back to back as if chained and awaits the command to dance.

Again the man on the dias clapped his hands. Before us now on the tiles, in the basic position of the slave dance, too, her hands lifted over her head, wrists back to back, stood a chained girl..
Tribesmen of Gor, page 214

Slaver's Kiss

For the sake of including anything that anyone has ever thought was a position, Slaver's Kiss, also known as Slaver's Caress or Whip Caress is more an action than anything else. It is used to test the responsiveness of slaves.

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, page 294

Slave Lips

turn toward person who commanded it, purse lips and remain immobile until your freed from immobility with a kiss or command.

"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, page 111

Slave Rape

You can infer from the books that there are many types but the standard is that the girl lays motionless and supine in preparation to be raped.

I went to the side of the room and picked up my sea bag. I threw it to the center of the room. She looked down at it puzzled. It was of heavy blue material, canvas, and tied with a white rope. "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.
Explorers of Gor, page 202

Stand

Stand before the master, arms straight and shoulders back, feet together, chest thrust forward, hip turned and remain absolutely still and silent.

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
Slave Girl of Gor, page 249

Standard Binding Position

When ordered into standard binding position the girl lays on the ground, wrists crossed behind the back and ankles crossed. (this is most likely another name for bara)

"Standard binding position," he said. I was prone. When a girl is prone, the standard binding position is to cross the wrists behind the back and to cross the ankles. I took this position instantaneously.
Slave Girl of Gor p125

Submission

kneels, bends at the waist, places cheek to the floor, takes the Master's right foot and places it upon her neck, places arms behind back, crossing them at the wrist.

irc invention

Sula

lay on back on the floor, spread feet shoulder-width apart, and rest arms with palms up at sides, left knee flexed slightly to enhance the view. Keep eyes lowered and await inspection

"Sula, Kajira!" said the man. She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, legs open.
Explorers of Gor, page 77

Sula-Ki

lays on back on the floor feet to the floor, hands at sides palms open and up, legs are spread widely apart, ready for sex or bondage or control lift hips off the floor slowly to entice usage.The term sula-ki is an irc invention for a position variation to sula that was found in the books.

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.
Explorers of Gor, page 329

Table

goes to hands and knees, locking elbows, knees spread and firmly to the floor, make back smooth and level, head held level (can be used to set things on, or as a foot prop, or anything else required.)

irc invention

Tower Kneel

see nadu, alteration: knees are closed and thighs are pressed closely together (this position is used most often used to serve Mistresses)wrists may or not be crosses as your owner decides.

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...The position of the Pleasure Slave, incidentally, differs from the position of both the free woman and the Tower Slave. The hands of a Pleasure Slave normally rest on her thighs but, in some cities, for example, Thentis, I believe, they are crossed behind her. More significantly, for the free woman's hands may also rest on her thighs, there is a difference in the placement of the knees. In all these kneeling positions, incidentally, even that of the Pleasure Slave, the Gorean woman carries herself well; her back is straight and her chin is high. She tends to be vital and beautiful to look upon."
Priest Kings of Gor, pages 46-47

Usage Position

on hands and knees, legs parted widely, head straight, hair falling across her back, remain motionless waiting for command

A Note on Non-Verbal Commands

It is important that a slave be alert to their Master as commands are not always given orally

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, page 143

Please note: These descriptions are the basic mechanics for these positions and should be personalized to fit the slave that is performing them, without corrupting the position. Meaning that a brief description of hair color, eye color, and "feelings" should try to be conveyed. When performing them r/l for practice or at Another's command, please keep in mind the picture you offer when doing so.. the position of your body.. how tense your muscles are. Everything about your body will convey a message to a Master much clearer than you actually saying a word.
