"Utilization"
How the Slave may be Utilized
"There are paga slaves who must please their master's customers in his tavern. There are the girls who staff the public kitchens and laundries. There are rent slaves, who may be rented to anyone for any purpose, short of their injury or mutilation, unless compensation be rendered to the master. There are state slaves who maintain public compartments, and work in offices and warehouses. There are girls in peasant villages, and girls on great farms, who cook and carry water to the slave gangs. There are beauties who are purchased for a man's pleasure gardens. There are other girls who work in the mills, chained to their looms." - BEASTS OF GOR, Pg. 249-250
Utilization is simply the general form of consistant service a slave might be set to once she is purchased. Girls in the above two Sections can be employed in a variety of the below, though certain choices might be more appropriate then others
. Kettle and Mat
Kettle and Mat girls are the most common form of slave found on Gor. They are employed in a multitude of duties, hence the name, and are used both as workers and for the pleasure of their masters. Sometimes these girls have had some training, often they have not, but rather are just collared slave girls set to the tasks men command them.
Pot Girl
Similar in most respects to a Kettle and Mat girl, Pot Girls are low slaves who perform menial tasks, mostly in households. They are almost the lowest of the low, with the name itself sometimes being used as an insult.
House Slaves
House Slaves are those slaves purchased to see to the upkeep of the household of their master, and set to various duties that are obvious to such a place. These girls can vary from those set to cooking and cleaning, to one's tasked with the rudimentary care of children and to be their playmates. Such slaves can be a variety of ages, some being purchased to grow-up within a house right next to the master's children. They are nonetheless, slaves.
Tower Slaves
Tower Slaves are much like House Slaves, having similar duties, but these occuring in the High Towers of the great Gorean cities, meaning usually that they are owned by the wealthy. Often such slaves will be in the direct service of a family or household, being under the direction not only of the owner's family, but the free staff.
Slave Maids
Slave Maids are a form of Tower Slave that are owned by Free Women, usually of high borth or station and expected to see to their needs. Service usually takes a form much like a "lady-in-waiting," with the maid seeing to the care, clothing and general accompaniment of their Mistress.
Preferred Slaves
Preferred Slaves are those girls that hold some special preference or distinction to their owners. These girls are commonly the favored choice of their master, being the girl he will be the most pleased with and interested in. They might be simple girls or trained Pleasure Slaves, but whatever they are, they are ranked with the prized possessions of their owner. This preference does not at all mean the girl will necessarily receive some sort of special treatment. Often, these are held to the highest discipline, being under the eyes of the master the most, and held to a higher scrutiny.
Feast Slaves
Feast slaves are those girls specially trained to serve at great banquets and parties. They are usually rented out from establishments that specialize in this service, often in conjunction with other related enterprises. Normally they are quite beautiful and are skilled in all aspects of serving such affairs to ensure the enjoyment of the guests.
Tavern Slaves
Tavern Slaves or Paga Sluts are those girls that have been purchased by a tavern for use within. They are commonly set to serving the pleasure of the patrons of the establishment, in any form desired by the paying customer. The training of such can be highly variable, covering anything from the unskilled girl to the Pleasure Slave, with all girls seeking to learn from one another within the tavern. Usually, as a result of ability, the master's favor, and simple strength, a sort of pecking order will develop amongst the girls, regardless of whether a First Girl has been chosen or not.
Bathhouse Girls
Bath Girls are those slaves owned by a bathhouse and used to serve its patrons. Usually this service revolves around the bathing of men, and includes sexual use if the man is so inclined. Normally, a given girl will be connected to a specific room, with that location having its own theme. These rooms can range from spacious pools to secluded baths, and are designed to provide the customer with a relaxing atmosphere inwhich to enjoy himself. Bath girls wear a special collar that is set with a small plate, giving the girl's name, the pool she serves within, and the cost of her use. Since they spend much of their time in the water, they are usually exceptional swimmers, wear no more clothes than towels, and often have their hair cut short. The quality of the girls vary, and is usually reflected in their cost and the type of room they have been placed in.
Dancers
Dancers are not simply those girls capable of performing Gorean Slave Dance, or told do do so, but as in the case of Pleasure Slaves being trained to please men, Dancers are those girls who have been specifically trained in the art of Slave Dance. Invariably, these girls are also Pleasure Slaves, and the term is simply an extention of this, but the title, Dancer, is also used to signify a girl that excells in this specific area, holding noticible skill. Dancers within Paga Taverns are commonly the most prized girls, being great attractions and specially priced for use. It can be argued that Dancer is worthy of being placed in Section Two, rather then here in Three, but being that not all girls that are utilized as Dancers are actually trained to any actual certification as such, it is more fitting that the entry be placed here. It should also be noted that if a girl is trained to be a Dancer, she will most likely be trained as a Pleasure Slave, since the two go hand in hand. So in effect, trained Dancers are in Part Two, under "Pleasure Slaves."
Coin Girl
Coin Girls are slaves placed out on the streets to earn money for their owners in return for their sexual use. Sometimes the girl is sent out with a small box hung around her neck, into which coins are to be placed for payment. Other times the owner may accompany the girl, calling out to passers that his property is open for use. The girl may be told to lie on the ground, or kneel, or perhaps to dance in order to get the attention of approaching men.
Camp Slaves
Camp Slaves are similar to Coin Girls, in that they are rented out for sexual use by their owners. In this case, they ply their trade within great camps, usually of the military sort. These girls are leased for a time to the camp by their owners, under contract. Soldiers pay a nominal fee for the use of the girls, which are usually kept together in their own tent or something similar.
Display Slave
Display Slaves are usually girls set to "display" the power, wealth, luck, or ability of their master. Such girls can be those tied to the prows of ships or the saddles of tarns after a successful raid, of girls of exquisite beauty, or exotic rarity that are purchased by a master to exist as a sign of his wealth and position in society. In the latter case, this may be the primary use of the girl, a situation she is not in, merely at the time of her taking, as in the case of returning raiders, but something she is set to do as a matter of common occurance, her existance being mainly to cause envy in others and draw attention to her owners wealth.
Field Slaves
Field slaves can be male or female and are simply those bonded individuals set to work in the fields of Gorean farms and houses, usually tending crops, gathering water, cultivating land, caring for livestock and other related duties. They are a simple lot, usually of low worth, with those slaves set to this duty normally being of average quality at best, though sometimes those with promise can still find themselves employed in this fashion.
State Slaves
State slavery is said to be one of the most undesirable positions a slave can find herself in. Some come to this through criminal punishment or debt collection, others through war, seizure or general purchase. Duties include domestic services around state buildings and employment in public kitchens and other such community services, along with serving at government affairs and in state brothels. Slave quality and degree of training can range greatly depending on the girl and how she is used. Part of why state ownership is so unenviable is that the girl is not the property of an individual, but instead employed in a variety of duties with little personal contact of the kind a girl privately owned often enjoys.
Bond-Maids
Bond-Maids are the slave girls of the north, particularly Torvaldsland. They are put to work in the fields by day, and made to serve the men in the Great Halls by night. Their lives are much rougher then those of most slaves to the south, especially the Pleasure Slaves they despise, but such is the nature of the land they are embonded to. They are also known as "girls whose belly lie under the sword," and their brand is indicative of this.
