Tools of either a Master or Mistress
What is the common purpose of a collar?" "The collar has four common purposes, Master," she said. "First, it visibly designates me as a slave, as a brand might not, if it should be covered by clothing. "Second, it impresses my slavery upon me. Thirdly, it identifies my master. Fourthly-fourthly-" "Fourthly?" he asked. "Fourthly," she said, "it makes it easier to leash me." He kicked her in the side. She winced. Her response had been slow. "Do you like being a slave girl?" he asked. "Yes, Master," she said. She sobbed. She was again kicked. "Yes, Master! Yes, Master!" she cried. "What does a slave girl want more than anything?" he asked. "To please men," she said. "What are you?" he asked. "A slave girl," she said. "What do you want more than anything?" he asked. "To please men!" she cried. "Nadu!" he cried loosening the whip coils on her throat. She swiftly knelt, back on her heels, back straight, head high, hands on her thighs, knees wide. He then left her again, and she remained kneeling. She moved no muscle. "Is she more pretty than I, Master?" asked Sasi. "Your beauties are quite different," I said. "I think you are both quite pretty. I think you will both make superb little slaves." "Oh," she said. An additional utility of the collar, though it did not count as one of its four common purposes, was that it made it easier to put the girl in various ties. For example, one can use it to tie her hands before her throat, or at the sides or back of her neck. One can use it with, say, rope or chain, to fasten the girls together. One can tie her feet to her collar and so on. If the feet are tied to the collar the know is always in the front, to that the pressure will be against the back of the girls neck and not the front. The purpose of each such tie is to hold the slave, not choke her. Gorean men are not clumsy in their binding of women. "Explorers of Gor", pg. 80
