"Yes, my dear, you are legally an animal.
In the eyes of Gorean law you are an animal.
You have no name in your own right.
You may be collared and leashed. You may be bought and sold, whipped, treated as the master pleases, disposed of as he sees fit. You have no rights whatsoever.
Legally, you have no more status than a tarsk or a vulo. Legally, literally, you are an animal."

Bath girls

Are slaves at the public and private baths. They wear a chain and plate collar. The plate gives their name and cost. They wear towels with nothing beneath them. While swimming, many wrap a long broad strap of glazed leather about their heads like a turban. The bath girls are there for the pleasure of men. Sometimes the girls will pretend to swim away from the men and try to escape but are easily caught by the men. This is done on purpose as most girls could easily avoid the men if they wished. They become excellent swimmers.
"Assassins of Gor" Pages 158 - 166


Below deck girl:

The term used for slave girls transported in the hold of a ship. They are held in individual cages and because of infestations of lice, all of their body hair is shaved. The term 'below-deck girl' is used derisively especially by those slave girls allowed to remain on deck in cages, who need not have shaved heads, though all slaves on a slaver ship are unclothed.

Galley slaves:

Seduction slaves:

They are used to lure free women into compromising situations so that the women can be made slaves by the couching laws. The couching laws exist in many Gorean cities.

Silks: White, Yellow, Gold, Red, Scarlet, Grey, Green, Black, Blue, Brown,Purple

"The dressing of slaves, incidentally, is an interesting and intricate pastime. The slave is almost never totally nude. Her body is marked almost always with some token of her condition, which is bond. This is usually a collar, but it may also be an anklet, sometimes belled, or a bracelet. Her brand, of course, fixed in her very flesh, deep and lovely, is always worn. There is no mistaking it. The iron has seen to that. Beyond theses things, much depends on the individual girl and on her particular master of the time. Individual taste is here supreme. To be sure, there are natural congruencies and proprieties which are generally observed."

"Guardsmen of Gor" Page 105

 

"There are many types of slave garments, of course, other than such obvious categories as tunics, camisks and Ta-Teeras. Pleasure silks, in all varieties, and swirling, diaphanous dancing silks, might be mentioned. The leathers forced on the slave maidens of the Wagon Peoples, taught to care for the bosk and please their masters, too, might be called to mind."

"Guardsmen of Gor" Page 108

There are 12 different colors of silks mentioned here. The exact color of the silks may vary from slave to slave depending on the likes and dislikes of each Owner. The colors mentioned here are more for description of the type of slave than actual color of their silks.

White - The white silk slave is not necessarily virgin, merely reserved for her Master/Mistress's sole use. They are generally permitted to serve drinks and food and conversation but sexual use is forbidden and corporal punishment is at the hands of the owners. Masters and Mistress are insulted, may embarrass, confine or display the slave, but may not strike in any way nor permit another to do so. They do not use the term "slave heat" except in serves to their Owners. There is some controversy in using this term as many Goreans feel only a "true virgin" should be white silk, this view varies depending on the region of Gor.- "Assassin of Gor" Page 88 & "Explorers of Gor" Page 172

White with Gold - Down the stairway, slowly, in trailing white silk bordered with gold, the colors of the Merchants, there regally descended the girl who was Aphris of Turia. - "Nomads of Gor" Page 91

 

Back to Silks

 

Yellow - Denotes the Tavern owned slave. Her use is rented and negotiated with the Tavern owner and may include sexual favors at the owners discretion. These girls are the Paga girls of the Gorean novels. "Captive of Gor 7 Page 293", "Vagabond of Gor" Page 400

Gold - The silk girl was heeling her master, a captain of Torvaldsland. She wore, indeed, a brief tunic of the south,of golden silk. She wore a collar of gold, and, hanging in her ears, were loops of gold. - "Marauder of Gor" Page 145

Back to Silks

 

Red - The mark of a pleasure slave...may generally be used by any who desire her usage but may be reserved for the sole use of the owner. A pleasure slave is considered to be well trained to please in all ways sexual, service wise and in dancing, and is closest to the houris of the Arabian harem. True "passion slaves" are bred for that purpose specifically, one that has been bred for a particular trait, such as beauty or slave heat or the shape of her lips and no barbarian can attain that rank. They usually have a clubfoot from inbreeding etc.
- "Explorers of Gor" Page. 200 , "Assassin of Gor" Page 45

Scarlet - As I mused, Talena stepped forth from behind the silk curtain. I had thought she had retired. Instead, she stood before me in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor. - "Tarnsman of Gor" Page 134

Back to Silks


Grey - State owned slaves - "Magicians of Gor" Page 18

Green - The Pleasure Slaves who served wore green pleasure silk, and the tops of the tables and the walls were also painted green; even the curtains on the alcoves by one wall were green. - "Assassin of Gor" Page 167

Black - the mark of an unowned unpurchased slave.

I wore the belled collar, and belled ankle ring, of the tavern, and a bit of black silk. On the silk, in yellow, there were words, which Narla had translated for me. "I am Yata. Own me at the Chatka and Curla."- "Slavegirl of Gor" Page 340

Blue - She glared at me, knowing that she must play her role, at least in the presence of Kazrak. She tossed her head haughtily. "Of course not," she said, adding ironically, "Master." Her back straight as a tarn-goad, she disappeared behind the silk hanging. A moment later the torn rag of blue silk flew out from behind the hanging. - "Tarnsman of Gor" Page 126

Brown - She wore a brief bit of transparent brown slave silk, gathered before her and loosely knotted at her navel. - "Beasts of Gor" Page 393

Purple - a plastic material worn by the slaves of the Priest-Kings - "Priest-Kings of Gor" Page 90, "Outlaw of Gor" Page 55
