Positions
sleen hasn't fully polished this page, but the information is all here. Please bear with a girl as she finds time to remember how to do tables *grins*. In the meantime, the positions are all listed below in alphabetical order. she hopes this and the beginning list of quicklinks makes it more convenient to find when in a hurry *winks*.
Bara or Standard Binding Position (when prone): This position is used for a variety of reasons, sometimes as punishment. She lays on her stomach, face down and turned to the left with her wrists crossed behind her back. Her ankles are crossed, as well, as if for binding. (see Book 22: "Dancer of Gor" p. 415 & "Slave Girl of Gor" p. 125)
Top
Belly: This position is used for varied reasons, one of them being that it just pleases the Master. She falls to the floor face down, her forehead resting flat on the surface her arms at her sides with her legs widely spread and then crawls to the Master on her belly. (see Book "Mercenaries of Gor" p. 19)
Top
Blanket: This not a true command but is still an action the slave should remember. If something is thrown over her head she must remain silent and motionless until freed from it. (see "Explorer's of Gor" p. 94)
Top
Bracelets or Chaining Position: This position is used to put on slave bracelets for chaining the slave. A common place to chain slaves is to their Master's bed or at a Tavern where there are rings in the walls that a Master may use to attach a slave to while he goes about his business. She places her hands behind her back, her shoulders pushed back and her breasts thrust outward, her hands clasped tightly behind her back...ready for bracelets to be placed on her. (see "Hunters of Gor" p. 146).
Top
Capture Position: She lays down upon her back, bending her knees to place feet flat against the ground, hands at side and remains motionless ready to be captured. (see "Kajira of Gor" pg. 422)
Top
Crawl: This is very similar to belly but there are differences. She gets down on all fours, her head down and crawls to the Master's feet placing a kiss upon them. (see "Tribesman of Gor" p.78)
Top
Display Command: She stands with feet slightly farther than shoulder width apart, lacing fingers together behind her neck, she may be asked to turn so her body may be properly inspected. (not seen as a proper command in books, but the position is used often in displaying slaves on auction)
Top
Gorean Love Bow: This position is very painful to maintain for longer than 5 minutes. She kneels in nadu position and bends her body backwards, her head to the floor, she places her hands by her head, and pulls up into a back bend. (not found in books like this, but done with bindings ("Maurauders of Gor" p.261 as one would have to be athletic or very supple to accomplish this).
Top
Hair Position: She stands, her feet flat on the floor, and bows gracefully at the waist, that her hair might fall forward for display, or to be shorn, seized, or used for any purpose that the Master desires. (see "Beasts of Gor" p. 409)
Top
Heel Command: She goes to Master and kneels behind his left foot, awaiting his movement whereupon she stays to his left or his right depending on which hand is his weapon hand and slightly behind him following him as he moves. (see "Vagabonds of Gor" p. 381)
Top
High Bracelets: She stands with feet a shoulder width apart, holding her head high with eyes lowered submissively, her arms out before her with wrists pressed together... ready for binding. (not found in books, bracelets being sufficient, see above).
Top
High Harness Position: She tips her face up as high as she can and lets her head fall back to offer the Master her throat, it does not matter if she is kneeling or standing. (see Mercenaries of Gor" p. 308-309)
Top
High Lesha: Similar to lesha except done from a standing position. She stands with her back to her Master, her hands crossed at the small of the back, her feet shoulder width apart, back and shoulders slightly arched, her breasts thrusting forward, head held high and tilted to the left with her eyes lowered in respect and submission. (no such command in books, lesha would be sufficient.
Top
Karta: She kneels on the floor, her thighs spread widely to allow her to lay her chest upon the floor, she leans forward placing her breasts and forehead against the floor, she reaches out with her arms fully extended, palms against floor. Ankles may be crossed or uncrossed. Shows utmost respect. Requests may be made from this position. (not found in books but a very submissive position)
Top
Knee Walk: She travels on her knees, without standing, to fetch items or tend to duties. Also a Turian Knee Walk is mentioned, but not described except that it is sometimes used by slave dancers. (see "Magicians of Gor" p. 342)
Top
Kneel to the Coffle: The girls kneel, closely, one behind the other, as their left wrists are placed in wrist rings; this is usually followed by the order to stand and then the order "Lower chain" where the girls lower their wrists. Thusly they are then in line, standing, coffled. ("Slave Girl of Gor: p. 12)
Top
Ko'lar or Position of Female Submission: she kneels at the Master's feet and leans her body back, sitting upon her heels, with her arms extended upward, crossed at the wrists, and her head beneath them lowered in supplication (see "Tarnsman of Gor" p. 93-94).
Top
Leading Position: She stands and moves behind her Master, bending at the waist. She places her hands behind her and puts the side of her head to her Master's hip, that he might lead her easily by the hair or collar while walking. (see "Magicians of Gor" p. 46)
Top
Lesha: This position is used to attach a leash. She kneels, her back to her Master, with her chin lifted and head turned to the left, offering her collar for leashing. Her wrists are behind her back, ready, if needed, to be snapped into slave bracelets.
Top
Nadu or Pleasure Slave Position: This is the most basic of all the positions. This is the position a slave is in most of the time. She kneels before her Master, her head held high, eyes downcast, knees spread wide open, shoulders back keeping her back straight (or arched slightly), breasts thrust outward. Her hands lie on her thighs, palms facing upward. Although her hands may be crossed behind her as is the custom in Thentis. (see "Priest-Kings of Gor" p.46)
Top
Nestle Position: When this command is given she snuggles obediently in the crook of the Master's left arm. (see "Explorer's of Gor" p. 279)
Top
Obeisance position: She goes to the floor, laying upon her stomach, face down before the Master. She turns her head and places her cheek against his feet, kissing them lightly in a gesture of love and submission. (see "Rogue of Gor" p. 299)
Top
Prostrate: This is used on IRC when waiting to enter a room. She kneels and touches her forehead to the floor stretching her arms out before her with palms face down and fingers spread. (not a command per se on Gor it is used when a Master enters the room akin to tile position - see "Kajira of Gor" p. 157)
Top
Run Command: When this command is given, she runs toward her objective, taking short rapid steps, with her legs almost straight, her feet hardly leaving the floor. As she moves her back is straight, her head is turned to the left, and her arms are at her sides, her palms facing outward at a 45 degree angle to her body. Upon reaching her objective she drops gracefully to her knees and typically resumes the position of Nadu. (see "Assassin of Gor" p. 45)
Top
Serar: With this position she drapes her body over the legs of her Master, who is seated. If she is able, she keeps her hands and feet planted firmly to the floor on each side, raising her posterior, giving complete access to her Master. The important part of this position is that her derriere is in such a position that it becomes easily accessible to her Master, for discipline purposes, or training, her bottom opened for other purposes. (not found in books)
Top
She-Sleen Position: Also known as "assuming the modality of the she-quadruped." She falls to her hands and knees, her head down on the floor, her hindquarters thrust high for viewing and/or her Master's pleasure. "Serving in the modality of the she-quadruped" is an instruction whereby the slave performs her regular duties upon hands and knees, without the benefit of the use of her hands. In this mode she may not rise to her feet and may use only her mouth and teeth to grasp and manipulate objects. (see "Mercenaries of Gor" p. 215)
Top
Slave Lips: When this command is given, she turns her head up to the Master, her lips pursed in a sensual kissing position. She remains motionless, her lips thusly puckered, and may not move until she is granted the kiss of a Master. (see "Blood Brothers of Gor" p. 111 and 404)
Top
Slave Rape: This is a common disciplinary position and certainly not meant to give a girl pleasure. It is used by a Master to remind a girl of her place and her purpose. In this position the Master uses the slave for the sole purpose of His own relief, habitually violently and with little time wasted. There are several types according to the books, however, the standard version is this: she lays on her back with her hands to the floor. (see "Explorers of Gor" p. 202)
Top
Slaver's Caress or Whip's Caress Position: She falls to the floor upon all fours, and lowers her head to the ground, with her buttocks thrust upward and her thighs widely spread, exposing her hindquarters fully in preparation for the caress of the leather against her body. (not found in books in this fashion see the following) Common Gorean Usage Position of this position - a method of touching without warning a slave girl who is being sold in order to exhibit her slave heat for potential buyers; commonly done using a coiled whip. (see "Assassin of Gor" p. 294-295)
Top
Submission or Third Form of Obeisance: She kneels, bending at the waist, places her cheek to the floor, takes the Master's right foot and places it upon her neck, placing her hands behind her back, crossing them at the wrist (see "Mercenaries of Gor" p. 410-411).
Top
Suga: This is very similar to Karta but in this her wrists are crossed. She kneels, knees wide apart and lays her head to the floor, forehead down and arms stretched over head and wrists crossed, lying quietly. (not found in books)
Top
Sula: This position is self explanatory. She lays on her back, her hands at her sides, palms facing upward. Her legs are spread wide open... she awaits Master's inspection.
Top
Sula-Ki: This position is almost identical to the Sula position, except once she has assumed the Sula position she slowly lifts her hips up off the floor, as if beckoning him with her body, encouraging her sexual use by him. (not found in books)
Top
Table: This command is used when a Master is in need of a table to rest his drink or to just rest his feet. She goes to all fours, locking her elbows, making her back smooth and level, holding her head level as well. (not found in books but Masters like it)
Top
Tile Position: A slave, when passed by a Free Person in a hallway, room, or otherwise, to show their status as a slave will stop whatever they are doing, go down to their knees into the position of nadu, if they were standing, and then quickly lower their forehead to the floor, their arms outstretched and remain in this still position until the Free Person has completely passed by, or they decide to command the slave otherwise. (see "Kajira of Gor" p. 145-146)
Top
Tower Slave Position: There is another variation of Nadu in which she kneels the same way, but with her palms down and her knees modestly together, wrists are held before her and when unoccupied are crossed as if for binding. This variation is referred to as Tower Slave Position and is typically reserved for underage or white-silk slave girls, or slave girls who serve their Master in a nonsexual way, such as a Tower Slave or female Work Slave. Free women kneel in this manner also but never cross their wrists. (see "Priest-Kings of Gor" p.46)
Top
Walk Command: When this command is given, she turns in a graceful pirouette, her hair swinging. She then walks, gliding across the room, her feet hardly seeming to leave the floor, her hips swaying sensually, her body erect and proud. When she reaches her objective she halts and stands, her body erect, her shoulders back, her chest thrust forward, her belly in. She turns her hip out a bit, her hands at her sides, and points one foot. Her head is up and her eyes are lowered.
Top
Whipping Position or Kneeling to the Whip: She first assumes the Nadu position, though with her arms crossed in front of her. She then leans forward and places her head to the floor, first sweeping her hair forward over her shoulders in order that her back might be utterly exposed to the whip. (see "Captive of Gor" p. 200)
