"Do not yield to the temptation of being weak with her. She loves you, but she must also fear you. She must know that you are not to be trifled with. She must know herself to be always within your discipline."
- MAGICIANS OF GOR, Pg. 466
"It is the duty of a slave girl to be fully and completely pleasing to men. Were she not so she would be subject to sever punishment, including even torture and death, should it be the master's wish." - SLAVE GIRL OF GOR, Pg. 226 What follows is a short list of some common forms of slave punishment used on Gor. This is by far not a complete list, but is presented to give the reader more information to base his thoughts on, with those examples selected, chosen to provide a range of idea, effect and method. Gorean men do not rely on methods of punishment as the primary means to invoke a girl's submission. A Gorean man uses his very masculinity itself to train a slave. The whip and various other articles are secondary considerations at best, tools to be used in conjunction with this manhood. While fear of the lash can keep a girl in line, and perhaps help her take her first steps towards the fullness of her slavery, it is the man's very being, coupled with the girl's own femininity, which bring out the slave within. There is no better training for a slave than open exposure to strong men. Fear and steel can keep her body enslaved, but it is much more that causes the depths of submission which produce a slave in absolute being. "The control of a girl's clothing, and many other things, such as her diet, name, whether or not her head is to be shaved, and so on, are all within the purview of the master. His power over the slave is unqualified and absolute." - MAGICIANS OF GOR, Pg. 26
"The control of a girl's clothing, and many other things, such as her diet, chaining, name, whether or not her head is to be shaved, and so on, are all within the purview of the master. His power over the slave is unqualified and absolute." - MAGICIANS OF GOR, Pg. 26 "The whip on Gor, incidentally, though it is much in evidence, is seldom used. That it will be used, and promptly, if the occasion arises, is perhaps, paradoxically perhaps, why it seldom needs to be used. Most girls avoid feeling it, at least generally, by striving to be excellent slaves. To be sure, every female slave will have felt it, upon occasion. It is then common that they try to make certain that these occasions are quite infrequent. To be sure, some women do not fully understand they are owned, until they are whipped." - VAGABONDS OF GOR, Pg. 21-22 "Excellent slaves are seldom beaten, for there is little, if any, reason to do so. To be sure, such a girl, particularly a love slave, occasionally desires to feel the stroke of the lash, wanting to feel pain at the hands of a beloved master, wanting to be whipped by him because she loves him, in this way symbolizing to herself her relationship to him, that of slave to master, her acceptance of that relationship, and her rejoicing in it. To be sure, she is soon likely to be merely, again, a whipped slave, begging her master for mercy." - MAGICIANS OF GOR, Pg. 124-125 "Garments are an additional way, incidentally, in which to control slave girls. Knowing that the master may not permit her even such a rag if he chooses tends to make her more eager to please him, that she not be sent into the streets without it." - BEASTS OF GOR, Pg. 137 "I regarded Ilene.
'You no longer have a name,' I told her.
'I will give you a name,' I told her. 'It will be more convenient.'
'I will call you Ilene,' I said.
Her old name, her old identity, had been taken from her forever. Her new name, though in sound the same, was not her old. Between them there was a difference of worlds, a gulf wider than the dividing planets. Her old name had been hers as a free person, publicly registered, legally certified, historically identified with her throughout her life, until her capture by slavers. It had been a proud, intimate possession, giving her pleasure and dignity. It had ennobled her. It has served, with other properties, to distinguish her as a precious person, a unique individual, among all others on the planet Earth. When asked who she was, it was with that name that she would answer. That was who she was. Then that name was taken from her. She was only an animal in bondage. Her name might be changed, or altered, as often as a Master wished. Indeed, he need not even give her a name. Changing a girl's name, or taking it away, are common modes of Gorean slave discipline." - HUNTERS OF GOR, PG. 225
