A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so.
Captive of Gor
The kneeling position is, of course, a suitable one for slaves. A slave will normally assume such a position on entering the presence of her master or a free person.
She will probably remain in it until permitted to rise.
It is a common position, too, for her to assume when she is in attendance of a master,
for example, awaiting his notice or commands.
Blood Brothers of Gor
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.

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
A girl, incidentally, in the position of the Gorean pleasure slave, but who is not being kept in 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 hands move on her thighs, her shoulders and belly move, her head moves, her eyes are live and vital, she speaks and laughs, and, radiantly, every inch, every bit, of her alive, converses lyrically and delightedly.

Kneel to the Coffle
Chaining position
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, they lowered their wrists. They were then in line, standing, coffled.

Kneeling to the Whip
Disciplinary
I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet, my head to the boards of the floor,
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
Knee Crawl
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. Magicians of Gor
Leading
Akin to Hair
In a moment I had left the building, pulling the captive behind me, her head down at my waist in leading position.

Lesha/Leasha
Binding Preparation
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
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.

Modality of the she-quadruped
Disciplinary - Training
Girl, I said to her.
She, addressed, scrambled to her knees. She kept her head down. She whimpered.
She does not speak, said Boabissia.
She is perhaps under the disipline of the she-quadruped, I said.
The girl whimpered, looking at us, nodding her head affirmatively.
The she put down her head, again. "Oh," said Boabissia.
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 words 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-quadruped.
This discipline is often used as a punishment, but it may also 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
Kneel! commanded the free woman. Lale struggled to her knees.
�Get on all fours�, said the woman.
Lale was then on all fours.
�You are now in the modality of the she-quadruped�, said my hostess.
Lale moaned.
�Can you understand me, my little she quadruped?� asked my hostess.
�Whimper once for �Yes�, whimper twice for �No�.�
Lale whimpered once.
�Have you ever served as a she-quadruped before?� asked my hostess.
Lale whimpered twice.
�But you understand something of what is involved, do you not?� asked my hostess.
One whimper.
�For two weeks�, said my hostess, �or more, if I choose, you will be chained in the darkness, in one of the back alcoves, serving there as a speechless animal any who may come upon you or desire you.
Mercenaries of Gor
Drop to your hands and knees, to all tours, and turn away from me�, I said.
�In what slavery, or slaveries, will Master place me?� she asked.
I looked at her position. �Perhaps in the slavery of the she-quadruped�, I said.
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 pillages 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.

Nadu
Gorean word for kneel. The slave drops to her knees parting thighs wide in the position of the pleasure slave. Variations include palms down, upturned and wrists crossed behind the back. "White Silk" girls also assumed this position if being trained as pleasure slaves.
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
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
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.
Priest Kings of Gor
Immediately I open my knees, widely, as was appropriate for the type of slave I was, a pleasure slave.
"One might think almost," he said, musingly, "that you are not a virgin.
It is interesting to speculate what you will be like when you have been adequately opened and regularly utilized."
Dancer of Gor
Nadu unspoken
I spread the first two fingers of my right hand and gestured downward, toward a place nearby in the sand. Immediately she knelt there, her knees widely spread.
Vagabonds of Gor
Nadu and Free Women
Slaves typically will kneel in Tower among Free Women though if in the presence of a Free Man a slave will always follow his will over the Free Womans.
I then moved a bit to my left, toward the gate of the cage, and spread my own knees, doubtlessly just as shamelessly. It gave me great pleasure to do this. It was like an act of rebellion, or defiance, in my heart, to the woman who had beaten me on the wagon. To be sure, she, with her stick, could not see me. I would not have been so brave, doubtless, if she had been about. But I was now pleased to be again so kneeling. It was the way I was supposed to kneel, and it was the way I would kneel, I decided, even before free women, if a man were present, unless he ordered me to kneel differently. It was to men that I belonged, not women.
Let them rant! Let them cry out with rage. I was proud to belong to men, to men such as those of this world! I would thus, rightfully, and joyously, kneel before them as what I was, a woman, and their slave. What was the problem of women such as she who had beaten on the wagon? Did she wish, in her heart, I wondered, that she, too, could kneel thusly, owned?
Dancer of Gor
Incidentally," I said, "when you kneel before the free woman, in your carefully prepared modest garb, fit for a lowly slave, as you must soon do, to convey to her the message which will be inserted in the message tube about your neck, be certain to kneel with your knees closely together."
"Certainly, Master," she said. "She is a female, not a male.

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

Obeisance position
A position of extreme deference. There are normally three types of obeisance shown.
"Perform obeisance," I said.
I do not know how to do so!" she said.
"There are many ways to perform obseisance," I said.
"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."
"Like a slave!" she said.
"Do it, " I said. She looked well. "Now that," I said, "may not be exactly a performance 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 a 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."
"Now," I said, "for the 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."
Mercenaries of Gor
Common Obeisance
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.

Placate
A girl may beg to placate her Master when she has been displeasing.
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.
Rogue of Gor
Run
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-five degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true run.

She-sleen
Disciplinary - no description found of exact "position"
At the height of the festivities the cage was opened and its occupant, a former free woman, whose name had been Melina, now 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
Show Rebellion
Command
There is a mock rebellion which is sometimes permitted a slave girl, or even commanded of her, for the master�s amusement. I felt a tear on my cheek.
'Show rebellion', is a command which a girl must, as any other, obey.
Yet it is a terribly cruel command.
'Kneel' is the command which, commonly, puts an end to her rebellion.
When a girl has been permitted defiance it is then all the sweeter,
I gather, to bring her again to her knees before you.
