He is Master, and I am slave. He is Owner, and I am owned.

He commands, and I obey.

He is to be pleased, and I am to please.

Why is this?

Because He is Master, and I am slave.

Various Types of Chains and Associated Articles, and Their Use

08:57 May 30 2008
Times Read: 825


"There are many things, clever, subtle exciting things a girl may do with such a chain; some of thse were shown to me, and others I invented, sharing them with other girls at the tavern. One thing that was shown to me was the slave bridle; the male takes the light chain back between the teeth of the girl and holds it, together behind her neck, thus, too, pinning her hands there, helplessly; he then contols her by means of the bridle; my own invention was the chain kiss; one clasps the leg with the chain against the interior of the thigh, and then, from the side of the knee, one begins to kiss the leg, one's lips and teeth hot about the chain; the male feels both the chain and her mouth, biting and kissing, climbing the chain; she climbs the chain and descends it, and climbs it again, until he orders her to leave it."



- SLAVE GIRL OF GOR, Pg. 341





CHAINS





Slave Bracelets and Ankle Rings



"But this time I expected that her ankles would not be as though chained, her wrists as though braceleted; she would wear the linked ankle rings, the three-linked slave bracelets of a Gorean master."



- RAIDERS OF GOR, Pg. 55





Fetters



"A chain formed of slave bracelets; each pair of bracelets locked at each end about one of the bracelets of another pair, the whole thus forming a circle. Now they removed this chain of bracelets, and, one by one, removed the pairs, closing them about the small wrists, behind their backs, of the female captives, now bonds-maids. These bracelets were of the sort to hold women in the north. They are less ornate and finely tooled than those available in the south. But they are satisfactory for their purpose. They consist of curved, hinged bands of black iron, three quarters of an inch in thickness. On one of each of the two curved pieces constituting a bracelet there is a welded ring; the two welded rings are joined by a single link, about an inch in width, counting both sides, each of which is about a quarter of an ich in diameter, and three inches long. Some of the girls cried out with pain as the fetters, locking, bit into their wrists."



- MARAUDERS OF GOR, Pg. 46





Walking Chains



"The use of a light walking chain, teathering the ankles, meant to be worn abroad, accompnaying the master, incidentally, is not uncommon in the regions of the Tahari. A beautifully measured gait is thought, in the Tahari, to be attractive in a woman. There is dispute as to the desirable length of the stride, and the chain may be adjusted accordingly. To me it seems obvious that one must experiment with the given girl. Height and hip structure vary."



- TRIBESMEN OF GOR, Pg. 45



"I paused before a given stall, where light, walking chains were being sold. They were strung over racks rather like parrot perches. Without much haggling, I bought one, which seemed to me pretty. They are adjustable, with rings, from a length as small as two inches, for security, to a stride length of about twenty inches. Two keys are provided, each of which fits both ankle-ring locks."



- TRIBESMEN OF GOR, Pg. 49 - 49





Dancing Chains



"The girl in the long, light chain, smiled at me. She, at any rate, was pleased by my response. A wrist ring was fastened on her right wrist. The long, slender, gleaming chain was fastened to this and, looping down and up, ascending gracefully to a wide chain ring on her collar, through which it freely passed, thence decending, looping down, and ascending, looping up, gracefully, to the left wrist ring. If she were to stand quietly, the palms of her hands on her thighs, the lower portions of the chain, those two dangling loops, would have been about at the level of her knees, just a little higher."



- KAJIRA OF GOR, Pg. 185 - 186





The Sirik



"Then, when I was absolutely naked, a golden collar, to which a chain was attached, with wrist rings and ankle rings, was brought. It was a chaining system of that sort called a Sirik. My chin was thrust up and I felt the golden collar locked about my throat. Almost as the same time my wrists, held closely together before me, were locked helplessly in the wrist rings. In another instant, my ankles, held, were helplessly in the ankle rings. A chain then ran from my collar to the chain on my wrist rings and from there, the same chain, to the chain on my ankle rings. My ankle rings chain was about twelve inches in length, and my wrist chain was about six inches in length. The central chain, where it dangled down from the wrist rings, lay on the floor before the throne, before it looped up to where it was closed about the central link of the ankle ring chain."



- KAJIRA OF GOR, Pg. 185 - 186



"The Sirik, a light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters; it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand, the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain, at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets; at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which, when closed about her ankles, lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor; the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer; perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately; this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash."



- NOMADS OF GOR, Pg. 42



"Swiftly my master's new girl was locked in the light, gleaming Sirik. The collar clasped her throat; a chain dangled from the collar; her small wrists were locked in the slave bracelets fixed on the dangling chain, and the dangling chain, itself, looped down to a short chain and pair of ankle rings, to which it was gracefully fastened at a sliding ring. The ankle rings were then closed about the lovely ankles of Slave Beads, and locked. She was helpless in Sirik. The confinement became her. She was beautiful."



- SLAVE GIRL OF GOR, Pg. 158





The Work Sirik



"The chain she wore was a work Sirik. It resembles the common Sirik but the wrists, to permit work, are granted about a yard of chain. Like the common Sirik, it is a lovely chain, Women are beautiful in it."



- KAJIRA OF GOR, Pg. 145





The "Four Chains"



"His girls served nude and chained. Each ankle and wrist ring had two staples. Each girl's wrists were joined by about eighteen inches of chain and similarly for her ankles. Further each girl's left wrist was chained to her left ankle, and her right wrist to her right ankle. This arrangement, lovely on a girl, produces the 'four chains,' from which the establishment took its name. The four-chain chaining arrangement, of course, and variations upon it, is well known upon Gor."



- EXPLORERS OF GOR, Pg. 42





Slave Strap



"She wore a slave strap, a heavy strap, buckling in the back. In the front, at her belly, there was, fixed in the strap, a plate and ring. Through the ring passed a chain, of come five inches in length, each end of which terminated in a bracelet. Her hands were confined before her body."



- HUNTERS OF GOR, Pg. 65





Harl Ring



"They were Harl rings, named for the slaver Harl of Turia, who is reported to have first used them. They consist, in effect, of four portions. First, there is a metal ankle ring, which snaps about the girl's ankle. Second, to the back of the ring, there is welded a closed loop. Third, to the front of the ring, fastened through another closed loop, is about a yard of chain. Fourth, this chain terminates in a locking device, which may then be snapped shut, if one wishes, through the welded, closed loop on the back of a second ankle ring. The Harl ring is a versatile piece of custodial hardware. It may be used to chain a girl to anything, say, about a tree, or stanchion, or the ankle of another girl, and then locked about its own chain, or through one of the links of its own chain. The chain, of course, may also be looped about, say, a tree, or a pillar in a public building, and the locking device snapped into the welded ring on the back of the girl's own anle ring. This is called a closed Harl Loop. One of the most frequent uses of the Harl ring, of course, is to form a segment in a slave chain, which may then be of any length, adding or removing girls, as short or long as the slaver wishes."



- HUNTERS OF GOR, Pg. 208





The Iron Belt



"She also wore an iron belt. This belt consisted of two major pieces, one was a rounded, fitted, curved, barlike waistband, flattened at the ends; one end of this band, that on the right, standing behind the woman and looking forward, had a heavy semicircular ring, or staple, welded onto it; the other flattened end of the waistband, looking forward, had a slot in it which fitted over the staple; the other major portion of this belt consisted of a curved band of flat, shaped iron; one end of this flat band was curved about, and closed about, the barlike waistband in the front; this produces a hinge; on the other end of this flat band of iron is a slot; it fits over the same staple as the slot in the flattened end of the left side of the barlike waistband. The belt is then put on the woman in this fashion. The waistband is closed about her, the left side, its slot penetrated by the staple, over the right side; the flat U-shaped band of iron, contoured to female intimacies, is then swung up on its hinge, between her thighs, where the slot on its end is penetrated by the staple, this keeping the parts of the belt in place. The whole apparatus is then locked on her, the tongue of the padlock thrust through the staple, the lock then snapped shut."



- KAJIRA OF GOR, Pg. 103



"I felt then the encircling clasp of metal closed about my waist, and then, swinging up between my legs, another piece of metal. These things were fastened in place, the right side, and the lower portion, hasplike, over the staple on the left side of the apparatus. The whole was then secured behind my back with a padlock. Once again I wore an iron belt.



- DANCER OF GOR, Pg. 99





The Slave Hobble



"The slave hobble consists of two rings, one for a wrist, the other for an ankle, joined by about seven inches of chain. In a right-handed girl, such as either Aphris or Elizabeth, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. When the girl kneels, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or free, it is not uncomfortable."



- NOMADS OF GOR, Pg. 154 - 155





The Slave Sack



"One of the simplest and most common is the slave sack, into which the girl, gagged, and with her hands braceleted behind her back, is commonly introduced headfirst. These devices have in common the feature of ensuring the total helplessness of the slave and, if one wishes, her ignorance of her destination, route and such."



- VAGABONDS OF GOR, Pg. 125





Slave Stocks



"'Put you hands on the armwrests,' I said, 'but back behind the slot in the armwrests. I will tell you when to bring them forward.' I then slid the lower board of a hinged pair of boards, with matching semicircular openings, into position in the slots in the armrests. The height of this bottom board came about a hurt above the level of the armwrests. 'You will now bring your hands forward, placing your wrists in these semicircular openings.' I told her. She did so, in an almost unreal, trancelike fashion. I then swung the upper board up, on its hinge, and then down and over the lower board. I then, with the attached clip, using the hasp and staple, locked the two boards together. 'You are now in wrist stocks,' I told her. I then thrust two clips through the matching rings, one set on the stock and armwrest to my left, the other on the stock and armrest to my right, securing the stocks in the armrests. 'You are now in wrists stocks held on the benches,' I said. 'Although the prisoner is unable to reach any of the devices of closure another might be able to do so. Thus, if one wishes, these devices could be locked into place.'

She tried to withdraw her hands, but could not do so.

'Put your ankles back,' I said.

I guided them into their places. The ankle stock is a simpler device, as the read board is part of the bench. I then found the front board and fixed it in place. I then stepped back to regard her.

'Either the wrist or the ankle stocks would serve to keep you in place.' I said. However, the wrist stocks may be removed from the bench and serve as its own bond, if one wishes.'"

Times Read: 826


Bara (Belly)

From the books: bara





Belly

Kajira lies face down with her forehead resting flat on the floor and arms at her sides. she crawls to the Master on her belly.



The command belly is a form of obeisance that commands a slave into a position where they lie on their belly with their head to the floor or to the foot of the Free. one's palms are pressed flat to floor, next to the head. Variations may include moving to the Free, kissing Their foot, or placing Their foot upon one's head or neck to show that their life may be so easily crushed. It may be used to show submission, respect or obedience, to beg forgiveness, or simply as a means to approach the Free. ~With fear in her belly, but an ache in her heart, the slave moved to her belly on the floor. Each hand is pressed to the floor at her sides, and she painfully inches forward. Reaching His feet, she grasps His ankles with her small hands and lifts her lips to His boots. Placing a soft kiss against each boot, she whispers brokenly~ one begs forgiveness Master, the words she spoke that upset You, were ill-chosen.



From the books: belly



Binding

Kajira crosses her wrists and ankles, waiting to be bound. From the Gorean word Lesha, which translates as "leash." In this position, the slave remains either standing or kneeling, depending upon the current position she is in. She turns and puts her back to her Master, her chin up, her head turned to the left so a leash may be attached to her collar, with her chin up and her back and shoulders straight. Her wrists are extended behind her, side by side, in a position to be locked into chained slave bracelets.



From the books: binding



Blanket

In this position the slave has to remain very still and quiet when a covering is thrown over her....until the Master removes it.



From the books: blanket









Bracelets or chainning

Kajira stands, head high, wrists behind her back and crossed, ready to receive slave bracelets.



To the command "bracelets" the slave responds by placing her hands behind her back, wrists crossed, ready to receive bracelets. The head should be held tall with the chin lifted and turned to the left. It might be used to attach bracelets to a slave, easy access to the collar to grasp the collar or attach a leash, to display a girl, to capture a slave's attention, to test the training of a slave, or simply because it pleases the Master. ~Throwing her arms and her ash~blonde hair behind her, she presses back with her shoulders and raises her wrists so that they are well clear of the small of her back. she pulls up the crown of her head slightly to complete the curve caused by the forward thrust. Turning her head to the left, her chin raised slightly, the collar of steel fully exposed as it lays across the smoothness of her slender throat.~



From the books: bracelets



Capture position

The girl lies on her back with her knees raised, heels on the floor in a standard, supine capture position.

("Kajira of Gor" p. 422)



Crawl

The slave gets down on all fours, palms flat on floor...ass in the air...forehead close but not touching the floor....crawls to just an inch from Master's feet.



The slave gets down on all fours and moves to where she is directed. In the books, one example is a slave moving forward on her belly with her head down. Other instructions, not found in the books, may include having the forearms (palms to elbows) upon the floor, exaggerating the tush in the air, lowering the forehead close to but not touching the floor, crawling to a hort from the Master's feet, or crawling to and kissing the Master's feet.



~Arching her back to display herself well before Him, the slave slowly leans forward, placing her palms to the floor, her tush rising above her heels as she pulls herself forward from her kneel. her arm reaches forth, breaking through the cascade of ash-blonde hair that falls over one shoulder, her hips rolling sensually with the shifting of her weight as she brings her opposite knee forward. Extending her arms to Him, relieving the stretch in her legs by sliding them forward to tuck beneath her, she moves like a larl in heat until she is within easy grasp of His left hand.~



From the books: crawl



Common Gorean Usage Position (sex)

The slave falls to the floor upon all fours, and keeps her head straight, her eyes looking forward, with her buttocks thrust upward and her thighs widely spread in preparation for the sexual use of the Master.



From the books: common usage position

From the books: eye contact



Gorean Bow

The girl kneels in the nadu position and bends her body backwards, her head to the floor, she places her hands by her head palms down .... then pulls up into a back bend.



From the books: Gorean Bow

Hair Position

The command for hair is a silent gesture in the books, but may be given verbally in the online realm. a slave approaches the Free opposite their dominant side, bowing or crouching to place the slave's bowed head within easy grasp. It may be used when a Free wishes to have a slave by their side, lead a slave, wipe His fingers or face with her hair, moved to another position, controlled, or have her slavery impressed upon her.



From the books: hair



Heel

The slave goes to Master and kneels in nadu behind and to his left... awaits further orders note: if Master is right handed go to his left , if left handed go to his right.



The command for hair is often a silent gesture in the books, but may be given verbally as well. a slave approaches the Free opposite their dominant side, kneeling or crouching to place the slave's bowed head within easy grasp. It may be used when a Free wishes to have a slave by their side, lead a slave, wipe His fingers or face with her hair, moved to another position, controlled, or have her slavery impressed upon her.



~Seeing the rapid opening and closing of His hand at His hip out of the corner of her eye, the slave quickly moves to Master's left side, rolling up on her toes and lowering her tush upon her heels as she melts into a crouch to obey His command. Bowing her head, she places the crown of her head where He gestured.~



From the books: heel







High Harness

A position in which a leashed slave is commanded to do....to show off her collar and neck.



From the books: High harness



Kneeling (Leash and other variations)

Ko Lar, or Collaring Position

Also called "the Position of Female Submission." In this position the slave 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).



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. 127)





Kneel to the Whip

Kajira kneels, head to the floor, arms crossed beneath her, back exposed in preparation to be beaten. In this position the slave 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.



From the books: Kneel to the whip



Leading Position

Kajira walks behind the Master and puts her head to Master's hip in order to be led. The slave hurries to Masters side, bends at the waist pressing her head against his left hip...her hair falling forward. .. waits for Master to lead her by her hair or her collar... note:if Master is right handed go to his right side.

From the books: Maintaining position



Nestle

A command used by the Master when He wishes the slave to cuddle.



According to the book quote given below, the proper response to the command, "nestle", is for the girl to cuddle in the crook of the Master's arm. The quote below shows the Master lying down, however on the occasions on-line that the command is used, the Master is seated and the girl on His lap. Either way of course is delicious.



From the books: Nestle



Prostrate:

The slave kneels and touches her forehead to the floor, she stretches her arms out before her with palms face down and fingers spread.



From the books: prostrate









Nadu (Kneel)

This is the primary position of the slave. Kajira kneels with thighs parted widely for the master's pleasure (if she is a pleasure slave, that is. Tower slaves keep their knees together). Her back and shoulders are straight, breasts thrust forward, belly in, hands on her thighs palms down (or up, in a silent plea for a Master to use her sexually). Her head is up and her eyes are lowered. A slave may kneel like this for a prolonged time so posture is important not only for appearance but also for comfort.



From the books: Nadu









Obeisance

There are many forms of obeisance which can be performed. The dictionary definition of the word is "an act of reverence: an expression of respect". Here are some examples of performing obeisance to a man:



From the books: obeisance









She-sleen

(Sometimes known as the "dicipline of the she-quadruped") This is either a position assumed on all fours for being used from behind or a discipline under which a kajira is put where she must act like a she-sleen, unable to communicate except in whimpers. Also known as "assuming the modality of the she-quadruped." In this position, the slave falls to her hands and knees, her head down on the floor, her hindquarters upthrust 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.



A slave under the discipline of the she-quadruped goes about on her hands and knees as though she were a four-legged animal. The girl goes to all fours, going about on their hands and knees performing tasks, and perhaps tricks, as directed. The slave is permitted to use her hands only as a means of locomotion. she is not allowed to use human speech, and must communicate by means of animal noises used to signal the intentions or meanings normally given to words. The girl must often times eat and drink as an animal, lapping water from a puddle, and eating without the aid of her hands. The phrase she-sleen is often used when referring to a woman, either Free or slave. In the books women have been compared to the sleen in a similar manner as women of earth when given the qualities of felines or female canines, e.g. "catty" or "bitch". The phrase tends to imply the woman is like the sleen, vicious and nasty until tamed by the stronger Man. When the phrase "she-sleen" is used as a command, the slave mimics the position of the animal she is thought to be and assumes the modality of the she-quadruped.



When told to assume the modality of the she-quadruped, one would move to their hands and feet (unless bound or under another command, such as belly, that would prevent them from doing so) and would whimper softly, once, to show that they understood. If it was believed that the command was given in punishment, the slave might approach the Master, kissing and licking at His boots or curling about them to beg His forgiveness. The slave would then serve, do chores, and follow whatever instructions were given to her in this mode until she was told she was no longer under the modality or discipline of the she-quadruped.



Psychologically the slave while in she-quadruped learns what is it to be female. she is reduced to level of an animal. In this mode of serving, the slave realizes her status and position; that she is owned, dominated, and dependent upon her Master for her very life. This position is often used to discipline or to teach a new slave her place. It is a powerful tool for instruction. In requiring a slave to rethink how to obtain a paga bowl and fill it, how to greet guests, and how to serve the Free without using hands or voice, it forces a slave to think differently about their actions and can bring new life to one that may have been feeling complacent or bored.



From the books: She-sleen







Run

When this command is given, the slave runs toward her objective, taking short rapid steps with her legs almost straight, her feet harely leaving the floor. As she moves her back is straight, her head is turned up to the left, and her arms are at her sides, her palms facing outward at a 45 degree angle to her body. Upon approaching the object, she drops gracefully to her knees and typically resumes the position of Nadu.



The proper response to this command, one needs to consider the context. The correct response in the midst of the games of the Wagon Peoples is not the appropriate response within a tavern. slave girls are sometimes taught to run in a stylized fashion, with straight legs using short, rapid steps that hardly touch the floor. The back is held straight with the head turned to the left, and the arms are at her sides with palms facing outward at a 45-degree angle.







"Slaver's Kiss" (Slaver's Caress) Position

This is somewhat of an action, since the slave is taken by surprize when done.

The slave 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.



From the books: Slavers Caress





Slave Lips

When this command is given, the slave 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.



From the books: Slave lips



Submission

Kajira kneels, with her back straight. She raises her arms and crosses her wrists ready for binding, head lowered. This is the position assumed when a woman submits to a man as his slave.



From the books: Submission







Sula (Back) or Prone Position

Kajira lies on her back, her hands at her sides palms open and up. Her legs are spread widely apart, ready for whatever uses or disciplines a master wishes to place upon her.



From the books: Sula





Sula-Ki, or "Alternative Sula

This position is almost identical to the Sula position, except once the slave 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.



From the books: Alternative Sula





Table

The slave goes to all 4, locking her elbows, makes her back smooth and level, she holds her head level with her back.





Tower position:

There is another variation of Nadu in which the slave kneels the same way, but with her palms down and her knees modestly together. This variation is Position and is typically reserved for underage or white-silk slavegirls, or slavegirls who serve their Master in a non-sexual way, such as a Tower Slave or female Work Slave.



From the books: tower





Walk

When this command is given, the slave 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.



The books do not seem to describe specifically how slaves are to walk, other than slaves do walk sensually, gracefully, and proudly. However, the books to say that much time is spent in teaching slaves how to walk in order to please masters. There is a Turian knee walk that is mentioned as being used by slave dancers, but is not otherwise described. (Often the same quote will be incorrectly used to reference a command knee walk, which should instead refer to knee crawl.) When instructed to walk, the slave should move gracefully and seductively to the Master. Other descriptions, as long as they do not interfere with the ongoings of the room may include turning in a pirouette, hair swinging, hips swaying, gliding so that the feet hardly seem to leave the floor, body erect and proud, shoulders back, chest forward, belly in, eyes lowered, stopping with hip turned out, placement of hands at sides, placement of feet, and toes pointed.





Lap:

When the command "lap" is given, the slave girl has been ordered into the Master's lap. she does not necessarily sit, she may be draped over His legs with her body exposed for His caresses and viewing pleasure.



To obey the command, the slave climbs upon or into the Master's lap. she may begin to kiss, caress, feed, or otherwise pleasure and tend to His needs, depending upon the wish of the Master. she may go to His lap with graceful and elegant motions, she may be brazen and forward, or she may leap into His arms.



~The kajira purrs softly, stretching her arms forward and crawling to Him with the feline grace of a larl. Placing a tender hand upon His knee, she pulls herself up. Slowly, she then raises her knee and parts her thighs, trailing pointed toes delicately across the top of His lap. Settling herself upon Him, she draws herself closer to Him, wriggling her tush a bit for good measure. Placing her hand upon His chest, she arches her back and tosses her ash~blonde hair behind her shoulders, displaying herself well for Him before leaning in, her lips brushing against His ear as she whispers:~ Yes, Master.



coffle:

The command is often given with multiple girls, who kneel, in order of first slave to last, closely, one behind the other. With the command "left wrist coffle" the left wrist is raised to be placed within the wrist rings. This might be followed by the order to stand and the order "lower chain" where the slaves lower their wrists. Thus the slaves are then in line, standing, coffled, ready to be moved or displayed.



Stand:

In the books the command is "stand" or "stand as a slave." This is done according to the quote as back straight, head high, belly sucked in, breasts thrust out, hip slightly turned. In addition, one might add personal touches, such as placing one foot in front of the other, front knee bent, or pointing the toes. However that is merely personal preference, not given in the book. ~The girl curls her toes beneath her, moving her weight back over her heels and pushing herself to standing. Raising the crown of her head as high as she can, the slave lowers her eyes and presses her shoulders back as she sucks in her gut to display her figure well. Shifting her weight ever so slightly so that she may better turn her hip, she raises a delicate hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, silver-blue eyes glancing quickly as a soft smile crosses her features, only to disappear as she drops her hand once again. Feeling her heart pound under the scrutiny of watchful eyes, she slightly turns her arms so that her soft palms face more forward, exposed.~

a true slave girl can dance her passion.

one with fire in her belly cannot deny it."





 

Slave collars on Gor

About the collar on Gor



"In the matter of collars, as in all things, Goreans commonly exhibit good taste and aesthetic sense."

Slave Girl page 215



The collar can be read to identify a girls master and his city



Slave girls almost never escape. The major reason for this is the steel collar, which, obdurately encircling her neck, read, promptly identifies her master and his city. Almost no one, of course, would think of removing a collar from a girl, unless it would be to replace it with one of his own.

Slave Girl page 96



The gorean collar has 4 common purposes:



1 - designates a girl as a slave



2 - impresses her slavery upon her



3 - identifies who owns her



4 - makes leashing the slave easier



“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.

Explorers page 80



The collar makes it easier for the slave to be put in various ties



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 girls together. One can tie her feet to her collar, and so on. If the feet are tied to the collar the knot is always in the front, so that the pressure will be against the back of the girl’s neck and not the front. The purpose of such a tie is to hold the slave, not choke her. Gorean men are not clumsy in their binding of women.

Explorers page 80



Men enjoy the sight of a woman in steel



That the collar was locked did not simply mean that she could not remove it, a fact which played its important role in guaranteeing slave recognition and identification, but, perhaps even more importantly, was momentous in its significance of bondage. A brand might be concealed by clothing, even the brief garb commonly allotted a female slave, but the collar, consistently and openly, proclaimed her girl property. The collar, stressing her vulnerability as a slave, is sexually exciting to the girl who wears it, and to the men who look upon it. Perhaps that is why free women do not wear collars. The steel on her lovely throat, lost beneath her hair, glinting beneath it, contrasting so with her delicious softness, is sexually and aesthetically maddening. No girl is so beautiful, I suspect, as she who wears a Gorean slave collar.

Slave Girl page 402



Collars are measured to fit each girl properly



"These collars are normally measured individually to the girl as is most slave steel. The collar is regarded not simply as a designation of slavery and a means for identifing the girl's owner and his city but as an ornament as well. Accordingly the Gorean master is often extremely concerned that the fit of the graceful band will be neither too tight nor too loose. The collar is normally worn snugly, indeed so much so that if the snap of a slave lease is used the girl will normally suffer some discomfort."

Priest Kings page 158









Common Gorean slave collar





The commmon collar is a flat, snugly fitting steel band, locking at the back of the neck

"The common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girl's neck."

Nomads page 16



The collar is hinged



"Most Gorean collars, decorated or not, are basically a flat, circular band, hinged, which locks snugly about the girl's neck."

Slave Girl page 251





Information gained by looking at a slaves collar



The name of her master and his city

Slave girls almost never escape. The major reason for this is the steel collar, which, obdurately encircling her neck, read, promptly identifies her master and his city. Almost no one, of course, would think of removing a collar from a girl, unless it would be to replace it with one of his own.

Slave Girl page 96



This collar shows the slave is to be returned to the Whip Master in the Central Cylinder of Ar

She had already donned the livery intended to resemble the state livery of Ar, and I had earlier put on her neck the collar designed to resemble a state collar. Indeed, I had even a few days ago, stopped a state slave, to check her collar. "RETURN ME TO THE WHIP MASTER OF THE CENTRAL CYLINDER" read the legend on the collar. I picked up the small cloak she had worn, and put it about her shoulders.

Magicians page 372



This collar designates a slave as part of the cargo of a particular ship

"'What sort of collar do you wear?'

'A shipping collar, Master. It shows that I am a portion of the cargo of the Palms of Schendi.'"

Explorers page 79 - 80



Collar designates a slave as a paga slave of a certain tavern

I was Teela, a paga slave of the Belled Collar. That could be read, I understood, on the close-fitting steel collar I wore, a ten-hort collar.

Slave Girl page 294



Collar designating slave to be sent to new owner

I no longer wore the black, enameled, belled collar, and snide ring, of the Chatka and Curla.

I heard men shouting, and saw them running. There seemed excitement below.

I now wore a ship collar, of locked steel, gray, with its destination tag. The tag, I had been told, read: “Send me to the Lady Elicia of Ar, of Six Towers.”

Slave Girl page 355



Collar designating a slave as property of the House of Cernus



He fingered the collar on her throat, yellow enameled over steel. It bore the legend: I am the property of the House of Cernus.

Assassin





Turian collar



Turian collar is not flat, a round ring and fits loosely on the neck



Turian collar is more difficult to engrave but will bear some legend



"She wore the Turian collar, rather than the common slave collar. The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girl's neck. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her master."

Nomads page 29



Turian collars seen occasionally in northern cities

The Turian collar, too, a looser ring of steel, large enough for a man’s fist to grasp on the girl’s throat, was occasionally seen now in the northern cities.

Captive page 160



He went to his desk and, from one of its drawers, drew forth an opened slave collar. It was unlike most of the Gorean collars. It was a Turian collar. Most Gorean collars, decorated or not, are basically a flat, circular band, hinged, which locks snugly about the girl’s neck. The Turian collar, on the other hand, fits more loosely and resembles a hinged ring, looped about the throat. A man can get his fingers inside a Turian collar and use it to drag the girl to him. It does not fit loosely enough to permit its being slipped, of course. Gorean collars are not made to be slipped by the girls who wear them.

Slave Girl page 251-252





Iron collar of Torvaldsland



Riveted collar of black iron with a projecting ring

"I took it from these indications, she had learned her collar in the south; probably originally it had been a lock collar, snugly fitting, of steel; now, of course, it had been replaced with the riveted collar of black iron, with the projecting ring, so useful for running a chain through, or for padlocking, or linking on an anvil, with a chain. The southern collar, commonly, lacks such a ring."

Marauders page 166



"About her neck, riveted, was a collar of black iron, with a welded ring, to which a chain might be attached."

Marauders page 85



"'Look up at me,' said the smith.

The slender, blond girl, tears in her eyes, looked up at him.

He opened the hinged collar of black iron, about a half inch in height. He put it about her throat. It also contained a welded ring, suitable for the attachment of a chain.

'Put your head beside the anvil,' he said.

He took her hair and threw it forward, and thrust her neck against the left side of the anvil. Over the anvil lay the joining ends of the two pieces of the collar. The inside of the collar was separated by a quarter of an inch from her neck. I saw the fine hairs on the back of her neck. On one part of the collar are two, small, flat, thick rings. On the other is a single such ring. These rings, when the wings of the collar are joined, are aligned, those on one wing on top and bottom, that on the other in the center. They fit closely together, one on top of the other. The holes in each, about three-eighths of an inch in diameter, too, of course, are perfectly aligned.

The smith, with his thumbs, forcibly, pushed a metal rivet through the three holes. The rivet fits snuggly.

'Do not move your head, Bond-maid,' said the smith.

Then, with great blows of the iron hammer, he riveted the iron collar about her throat.

A man then pulled her by the hair from the anvil and threw her to one side. She lay there weeping, a naked bond-maid, marked and collared."

Marauders page 87





Beaded collar of the Barrens



High beaded collars, tied in the front by rawhide string

Each tribe uses a variation in styles and knots

The colors and arrangements used on the collar signify the master

"The red savages do not use steel collars. They use high, beaded collars, tied together in the front by a rawhide string. Subtle differences in the styles of collars, and in the knots with which they are fastened on the girls' necks, differentiate the tribes. Within a given tribe the beading, in its arrangements and colors, identifies the particular master. This is a common way, incidentally, for warriors to identify various articles which they own."

Savages page 102





Shipping collar



used when slaves are part of cargo being transported for sale

"'What sort of collar do you wear?'

'A shipping collar, Master. It shows that I am a portion of the cargo of the Palms of Schendi.'"

Explorers page 79 - 80



I no longer wore the black, enameled, belled collar, and snide ring, of the Chatka and Curla.

I heard men shouting, and saw them running. There seemed excitement below.

I now wore a ship collar, of locked steel, gray, with its destination tag. The tag, I had been told, read: “Send me to the Lady Elicia of Ar, of Six Towers.”

Slave Girl page 355





Collars in a slavers house



In a large slaver house with many slaves (4,000 - 6,000 are numbers mentioned in the books) a variety of collars are used to designate various slaves easily



Here Samos chooses a "common house collar" for a new slave in his slaver house

“You are too beautiful not to be a slave,” said Samos.

“No!” she cried. “No!”

“Take her below,” said Samos to one of the two guards flanking the woman. “Put the iron to her body, left thigh, common Kajira mark, and, I think, for the time, a common house collar will do for her.” She looked at him, aghast. Then her two arms were seized by the guards.

Players



White enamel collar



The meal was served by slave girls in white tunics, each wearing a white-enameled collar. These would be girls in training, some of them perhaps White Silk Girls, being accustomed to the routines and techniques of serving at table.

One of them carried a large pitcher of the diluted Ka-la-na wine and stepped behind us, climbing the two steps to the broad wooden dais on which our tables were set. She bent over my left shoulder woodenly, her body stiff. "Wine, Master?'' she asked.

Assassin page 88



Red enameled collars



At the wall on my right there were fifteen slave rings. To each, on furs, there was chained, by the left ankle, a bare-breasted girl about whose waist there was knotted a scarlet cord, in which was thrust a long, narrow rectangle of red silk. About their throats were matching red-enameled collars. Their lips were rouged and they wore eye-shadow. Some glistening red substance had been sprinkled on their hair. Following the meal, I understood, in the House of Cernus, is a time for the pleasure and recreation of the men. There are games and sports, and wagers and song. Paga and Ka-la-na are then, when Cernus would leave, brought forth.

Assassin page 87



In the Slaver House, the collars change as the slaves status and training changes



Elizabeth, with a rustle of chain, sat up, rubbing her eyes. She was attired in a brief gown of red Pleasure Silk, prescribed for her because she was a Red Silk Girl and in training. Virginia and Phyllis, in their cells, would wear similar gowns, but of white silk.

Elizabeth's collar had also been changed. She now wore a red-enameled collar. Virginia and Phyllis, however, Elizabeth had told me, still wore the simple iron collars which had been hammered about their necks by the smith days before.

Assassin



Later, in the eighteenth week of their training, they were given brief silken slave livery, sleeveless, fastened by the loop on the left shoulder. Virginia and Phyllis were given white livery, Elizabeth red. It was at this time also that Virginia and Phyllis had been given their lock collars, white-enameled, and that the slave anklets, the identification bands, had been removed from their left ankles. Elizabeth, at the beginning of her training, had simply exchanged her yellow collar for a red one. She had already been a lock-collar girl.

Assassin





Locks on collars



Almost all locks are cylinder locks - of either pin or disk variety

Either six pins or six disks, one for each letter in "kajira"

"The small, heavy lock on a girl's slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety. In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for slave, Kajira."

Assassin page 51





Gold collar



"The girl was naked, save that she wore many strings of jewels and armlets. Too, she wore bracelets and anklets of gold, which had been locked upon her, and were belled. Her collar, too, was of gold, and belled. A single pearl, fastened in a setting like a droplet, on a tiny golden chain, was suspended at the center of her forehead."

Rogue page 10 - 11





Vines used for collars



A marsh vine wrapped about the throat five times as a collar on a Rencer island

"In the cities," she asked, "they have slave collars, do they not?"

"Yes," I said.

Then she had taken a length of marsh vine from a packet on her rence craft.

The, looking up into my eyes, smiling, close to me, her arms about my neck, she insolently wound the vine five times about my neck, and knotted it in front.

"Now," she said, "you have a collar."

Raiders





Binding fiber used as collar



Binding fiber wrapped about throat five times as a collar

But we had, about the throat of each, wrapped, five times, a length of binding fiber, and knotted it, that this, serving as collar, might mark them as slave.

Raiders



Riveted iron collar of galley slave



Ho-Hak, sweating, breathing deeply, wildly, his great ears flat against the sides of his head, the iron, riveted collar of the galley slave, with its broken, dangling chain, about his neck, clutching his oar pole, stood with his legs planted widely apart on the rence, at bay.

Raiders





Hammered iron collar



"The girls were then motioned to the anvil. First Virginia and then Phyllis laid their heads and throats on the anvil, head turned to the side, their hands holding the anvil, and the smith, expertly, with his heavy hammer and a ringing of iron, curved the collar about their throats; a space of a quarter of an inch was left between the two ends of the collar; the ends matched perfectly; both Virginia and Phyllis stepped away from the anvil feeling the metal on their throats, both now collared slave girls."

Assassin page 153 - 154



I could see the heavy metal collar hammered about the man's neck, not uncommon in a male slave. His head would have been placed across the anvil, and the metal curved about his neck with great blows.

Hunters page 13





Leather Message collar



"'Did you note the collar she wore?'

He had not seemed to show much interest in the high thick leather collar that the girl had had sewn about her neck.

'Of course,' he said.

'I myself,' I said, 'have never seen such a collar.'

'It is a message collar,' said Kamback. 'Inside the leather sewn within, will be a message.'"

Nomads page 40





Decorated collar for the slave of a woman



She rose easily from the curule chair and stood before me. She held the opened collar before me. It was slender but sturdy, steel, enameled with white, decorated with tiny flowers in pink, a collar suitable for a woman’s girl. There was printing in the enamel, tiny, exact.

Gorean slave bells

08:43 May 30 2008
Times Read: 828






Types of slave bells



Dancing bangles with tiny bells on ankles



Instead, she stood before me in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor. She had rouged her lips. My head swam at the sudden intoxicating scent of a wild perfume. Her olive ankles bore dancing bangles with tiny bells.

Tarnsman



Locked bells on ankles



The slave girls in Pleasure Silk turned and stood stock still, the Paga flasks cradled over their right forearms. Not even the bells locked to their left ankles made a sound.

Assassins



Double rows of bells on straps for ankles and wrists



Another of the guards had gone to one of the wagons, and, as he returned, I heard the sound of slave bells.

Lana stood proudly beside the fire, her head back and arms down, and extended at her sides, while the bells, mounted in their double rows, on their straps, were fastened on her wrists and ankles.

Captive



Triple rows of small golden bells on a leather thong about an ankle



There were bells, three rows of them, small and golden, thonged tightly about the girl's left ankle.

The entire floor of the chamber, shining, richly mosaiced, broad, reflecting the torchlight, was a map.

I watched the girl. Her knees were slightly bent. Her weight was on her heels, freeing her hips. Her rib cage was lifted, but her shoulders, relaxed, were down.

Her abdominal muscles, too were relaxed. Loose. Her chin was lifted, haughtily. She did not deign to look at us. Dark hair flowed behind her.

"There are many things I do not understand," said Samos to me.

Tribesmen



Tied string of slave bells on ankles



On our left ankles we each wore a tied string of slave bells. These jangled sensuously when we moved. On our upper left arms we each wore a coiled, barbaric, snakelike arrnlet. "Although you have been purchased as house girls," said Teela, and surely we need more of them around here, you will also be expected upon occasion, as tonight, to serve at dinner. Indeed, I suspect that the Master has more in mind from you than simple domestic services."

Kajira



Leather cuffs with three rows of bells for wrists and ankles



Rask clapped his hands twice, sharply. And the black-haired, green-eyed, olive-skinned slave girl stood before him. "Put her in slave bells," said Rask, to one of the musicians. The musician fastened leather cuffs, mounted each with three rows of bells, on her wrists and ankles.

Captive



Thong variety and lock variety



I also purchased a set of slave bells, of the thong as opposed to the lock variety. They are less expensive than the lock variety; also, they may be tied at various places on the body, about the neck, the wrist, the ankle, about the thigh, about the arm, etc.; it is delightful to bell a girl; she may not remove them, of course, without her master's permission.

Tribesmen



State slave of Ar has gray steel band on ankle with 5 simple bells of gray metal



From time to time I saw a slave girl in the halls. The female state slave of Ar wears a brief, gray slave livery, with matching gray collar, Save for the color it is identical with most common slave livery. About her left ankle is normally locked a gray steel band, to which five simple bells of gray metal, are attached.

Assassins



Black enamel bells on tiny gold chains on a black enamled ankle ring.



I was belled and collared, in a black, enameled ankle ring, with five, black, enameled bells, on tiny golden chains, and a black, enameled Turian collar, it, too, with five bells, black and enameled, on five tiny golden chains.

Slave Girl





Purposes of slave bells



Bells make a slave feel like a slave

"Why have you not moved your left ankle?" asked Sucha.

"The bells," I whispered.

"What of them?" asked Sucha.

"They shame me," I said. "They make me feel so much a slave."

"Excellent," said Sucha. Then she snapped, "Rise, Slave Girl!"

I leaped to my feet with a jangle of bells. I was a belled slave.

"Walk to one end of the room and back," said Sucha.

"Please, no Mistress!" I begged. She lifted the whip. I did as she commanded. When I again stood before her she, to my dismay, touched me.

I turned my head away, biting my lip in shame.

"Excellent," she said. "A mere jangle of slave bells and you are ready for the arms of a man."

Slave Girl



It excites a slave to wear bells



"Do you like my bells?" she asked, happily. "They have been put upon me for your pleasure. It excites me to be belled." She lifted her left arm, and turned it. There was a shimmer of sound from the glinting rows of tiny bells locked on her wrist. "Are they not pretty?" she asked. "They mark my movements well, and as those of a slave," she smiled. Then she lowered her arm, and knelt back again, on her heels, in the position of the pleasure slave. "How happy I am yours," she said. "Thank you for bringing me to your house, my Master."

Guardsman



Bells are stimulating, seductive to men, can drive a man half mad with passion



(likely why tavern owners bell the paga slaves as a good business practice)



It is common, though not universal, to bell paga slaves. The jangle of slave bells on them, as they move, is quite stimulating.





...





This is probably because bells are so beautiful on them, and so brilliantly and insightfully symbolic of their status as domestic animals, that they are properties, that they are in bondage. Most girls walk proudly in their bells, their shoulders back and their heads up, gloriously proud of their fulfilled femininity. Sometimes they fear, though, to wear bells out-of-doors, for they may then be subjected to the attacks of outraged, frustrated free women, attacks which they, as slaves, must endure. Indoors, however, they are pleased to wear their bells, and often beg to do so. And the little she-sleen, I assure you, know well how to utilize those pleasant, remarkable little devices, so subtly and apparently innocently, to drive masters half mad with passion. When a girl fears she may be out of favor with her master, she sometimes kneels before him and begs, "Bell me." In this simple request, asking to be belled, the slave puts herself in her place, at the feet of her master, reconfirms to him her humble and loving acceptance of her bondage, reassures him of her desire to please, and gives promise of slave delights so exciting and intimate that they can be known only among masters and their women.

Vagabonds



To makr a slave that is not trusted



"She is Turian?" I asked.

"Of course," said Kamchak.

"In the cities," I said, "only Pleasure Slaves are so belled, and then customarily for the dance."

"Her master," said Kamchak, "does not trust her."

In his simple statement I then understood the meaning of her condition. She would be allowed no garments, that she might not be able to conceal a weapon; the bells would mark each of her movements.

Nomads



"Bells and collar," said he.

Tears appeared in her eyes.

"Can I trust you?" he asked.

"No," she said.

"Bells and collar," said he. "But I shall wind them about with strings of diamonds that those who see will know that your master can well afford the goods you will do without."

Nomads



As incentive, bells are seen as part of the hallmarks of a trained slave who knows how to please men

"Perhaps I could have her trained" mused Kamchak. "It would considerably improve her price," I admitted. I also knew a good training would take months, though much can be done with an intelligent girl in only a few weeks. "Would you like to learn," asked Kamchak of the girl, "to wear silk and bells, to speak, to stand, to walk, to dance to drive men mad with the desire to own and master you?"

Nomads



Along with silk, bells differentiate the status and purpose of slaves in a home



"What garments shall be brought for you?" I asked. She looked up at me. "Shall it be the tunic of a house slave?" I asked. She said nothing. "Or," I asked, "should I call for the bells and the silk, and the perfumes, of a pleasure slave?"

Raiders



Then she was again dancing among the tables. her movements gave much pleasure. She entertained well. If Samos had known she would prove this good he might have put her in bells or a chain.

Players



Satisfaction in placing bells on the women captured in conquest of an enemy



The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turian warriors to collar such a wench and force her to exchange riding leather for the bells and silks of a perfumed slave girl.

Nomads





Bells, as most any other item, taken away when slave has displeased



This quote, not particularly about bells, does share the mindset of a slave

Also, as she was, legally, having submitted in the House of Cernus, a slave girl, any small thing she had or could do which was her own was doubtless rather precious to her.

Assassin



Here a girls first thought when bells are removed is that she has been displeasing

She is frightened, cries, and begs to do better

As though angry I strode to the frame within which hung the small gong. With the fur-wrapped striking surface of the wand, removed from its rack, I smote the gong, once, smartly, decisively.

Swiftly, in a matter of moments, Lola ran into the room. The slave whom I had so richly used knelt, frightened, confused, on the height of the dais. "Quickly, Slave," commanded Lola, "come stand before me, at the foot of the dais, your head down." Swiftly the girl obeyed, trembling. Lola had brought with her the objects which I had specified in my instructions to her, issued even before the slave had been ordered to report to the cosmetics room.

The first object was the key to the slave's bells and collar. Lola removed the bells from her left ankle, putting them on the rug. "What is wrong, Master?" inquired the dark-haired slave. Lola then removed the bells from her right ankle, placing them, too, on the rug.

"I am sorry if I have displeased you, Master," said the dark-haired girl, frightened. Lola then removed the bells from the girl's left wrist. "Forgive me, Master," wept the girl. "I will try to be a better slave!" The bells, then, were removed from her right wrist. "Please, Master," wept the girl. "Please!"

Guardsman





Psychological effect of slave bells



With the collar and slave bracelets, instills in a newly captured slave her slavery

That night, at a great feast, he displays the captive, now suitably attired by his sisters in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor. Bells have been strapped to her ankles, and she is bound in slave bracelets. Proudly, he presents her to his parents, his friends and warrior comrades.

Then, to the festive music of flutes and drums, the girl kneels. The young man approaches her, bearing a slave collar, its engraving proclaiming his name and city. The music grows more intense, mounting to an overpowering, barbaric crescendo, which stops suddenly, abruptly. The room is silent, absolutely silent, except for the decisive click of the collar lock.

Outlaw



Then, to the barbaric, intoxicating music of the flute and drums, she dances for her captor, the bells on her ankles marking each of her movements, the movements of a girl stolen from her home, who must now live to please the bold stranger whose binding fiber she had felt, whose collar she wore.

Outlaw



Along with collar, helps to instill the knowlededge that she will know no will other than his

Perhaps she would find herself confined within the walls of some warrior's Pleasure Gardens, to be dressed in silk of his choosing, to have bells locked on her ankles and to know no will other than his;

Outlaw



As another item of slavery she cannot remove, deeper instilling her place as a slave

I also purchased a set of slave bells, of the thong as opposed to the lock variety. They are less expensive than the lock variety; also, they may be tied at various places on the body, about the neck, the wrist, the ankle, about the thigh, about the arm, etc.; it is delightful to bell a girl; she may not remove them, of course, without her master's permission.

Tribesmen



Bells placed upon her and removed at the Masters will, remind a girl again how completely in his control she is



"Stand, Slave," I said. Peggy stood beautifully.

Tasdron crouched beside her left ankle and with his key removed the slave bells from her left ankle. Such bells are seldom put on by the slave or removed by the slave. Almost always they are put on or removed by one who is in authority over the slave. The girl seldom puts them on or removed them; rather it is hers to wear them, and as a slave, for as long or briefly as masters see fit.

Rogue



Bells are indicative of bondage. She is owned

He had put the bells on me. It is often men who put slave bells on their girls. Such bells are indicative of bondage. Accordingly I suppose it makes sense that they might enjoy putting them on us, like brands and collars. Some men even dress their girls, us, and, always, the girl's choices of such things as garb, cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, and such, and, indeed, her entire ensemble, are subject to the master's approval. Indeed, most often, whether it only a simple tunic, before she hurries forth to shop, or in luscious slave silk and exciting adornments, before she is to welcome and serve her master's guests, displaying herself as one of his treasures, she is expected to present herself before him, for his inspection. She is owned.

Kajira is the term for "slave-girl" in John Norman's Gor novels. Slaves in the Gorean lifestyle will refer to themselves as kajirae. The phrase "la kajira" is said to mean "I am a slave-girl" in the Gorean language, the most widely-spoken lingua franca in the known regions of the planet Gor (this is one of the few complete Gorean-language sentences given in the Gor novels).



The word is usually seen in the feminine form "kajira" (pl. "kajirae"), as most slaves in the Gorean lifestyle are female; the masculine forms are "kajirus" and "kajiri" (following the rules of Latin nominative adjective morphology, as seen also with words such as "alumnus"/"alumna", etc.). The construction "kajiras" is incorrect, but is occasionally seen in third-party writing.



A common misconception among people practicing the lifestyle or playing out the Gorean theme online is that kajirae never refer to themselves in the first person, using the terms "me" or "I", instead being allowed only to refer to themselves in the third person. If one is adhering to the novels this is inaccurate, as virtually all of the kajirae in the Gor novels do often refer to themselves in the first person (the phrase "la kajira" being an example), with third person speech being uncommon in the text. However, the books do support the idea that third-person speech is considered distinctively slave speech (in Captive of Gor, chapter 15, Ute issues the command "Speak as a slave!", meaning in the third person), and that slaves may be specifically commanded to speak in such a way. In the books, a girl is ordered to speak in the third person usually as a punishment.



There exists various techniques in Gorean culture to teach Gorean slave corresponding conduct. Slave tasks may include not only sexual slavery, but also the ability to maintain a household, possess artistic skills, wear an appealing outfit and address the master in certain manner. Gorean slave women are branded, which means they are marked with certain signs burned into the flesh on being enslaved. To mark a slave as a particular owner's property a collar with owners name is placed upon on her.[1]





[edit] Literary influence

Some aspects of Gorean slavery described in the Gor books — such as the basic nadu kneeling position,[2] and the custom in the northern temperate zone city-states that a kajira's garments should allow an open-air path to her private parts, to symbolize and facilitate her constant availability and accessibility to her master — were probably influenced by the classic erotic novel Story of O.

In the most general use of the word, Gorean means anything characteristic of the Gor science fiction novels by John Norman. In these novels, the word "Gorean" is used to refer to the fictional counter-earth, to its inhabitants and social customs, and to the particular language which is the most widely-spoken lingua franca in the known inhabited regions of Gor (though other languages are also spoken on the planet).



As applied to non-fictional individuals, the word Gorean means an adherent of the philosophies espoused in Norman's writings, especially someone who lives a lifestyle based on this philosophy. While the most conspicuous Gorean departure from mainstream modern norms is that Goreans allow and indeed promote sexual master/slave relationships, many who take the Gorean worldview seriously would insist that being Gorean is not necessarily about either sex or slavery, but about the general Gorean philosophy (so that one would not have to participate in a master/slave lifestyle or relationship in order to be Gorean). Some of this philosophy is concerned with "natural order" and the relations between men and women, which may or may not take the form of a master-and-slave dynamic. Where there is a master/slave relationship, the level at which adherents follow the books varies.



Part of what Norman indicates as natural order, is that males have a predisposition to be more dominant, and females have a predisposition to be submissive. Norman indicates that with changes in society brought on by industrialization, and feminism, that this has caused a confusion among people, especially in their inter-personal relationships.

[edit] Goreans and BDSM

There is commonality between BDSM and the Gorean lifestyle in a number of respects (see 24/7, Dominance & submission, Servitude (BDSM), Slave (BDSM), Total Power Exchange etc.), but there are also overall differences in approach.



Some in BDSM consider the Gorean lifestyle to be a subset of BDSM practices, and find it lacking in that regard. So the mainstream of BDSM practitioners often disdain Goreans because Goreans allegedly reject the ideas of "safe, sane and consensual"/"risk-aware consensual kink", because of the frequent lack of a safe word between Gorean master and slave, or because the almost exclusive male dominant/female submissive dynamic seems to imply that "your kink is not OK" regarding other practices.



Serious Goreans, on the other hand, generally deny that they are engaging in "games" or "role-playing", and do not consider the extreme pain or extreme physical or sexual play sometimes practiced in BDSM as part of being Gorean, so that BDSM precautions and BDSM distinctions between "in scene" and "out of scene" are largely unnecessary and irrelevant (though there is still a need for honest communication within a Gorean relationship, as in any other sustained intimate relationship). They do not consider most of what they do to be BDSM, and do not judge themselves according to BDSM standards.



A person living the Gorean lifestyle states that "...BDSM and it's practitioners do as they do in order to fulfil a sexual need or 'kink' in themselves. They are different from Goreans and the lifestyle in that to be Gorean does not just encompass the sexual side of a person but everything else as well. Goreans live by and enforce 'codes of honour' and live by these codes.



Some Goreans do practice BDSM (even though BDSM is not Gorean in itself). These Goreans may or may not use a safeword when involved in BDSM scene play; however, if they do not, then some sort of communication is usually practiced.



Note that Norman's non-fictional sex manual Imaginative Sex presents a series of elaborate fantasy scenarios to be acted out (rather than advocating for a real-world "24/7" lifestyle), and recommends that symbolic substitutes (such as the sound of claps) should be used instead of actual physical chastisements (such as whippings).[1] Most of the scenarios are maledom / femsub, but a few portray men as the slaves of women, and anticipate the eroticised first-person male slave narratives of some of the Gorean novels.





[edit] The Gorean self-identity

The Gorean identity is founded on home, job, and social order. The 'Three Pillars' of Gorean society are described as "Home Stone, Caste System, and "Natural Order" It should be noted that many that study, and follow the Gorean Morality, do not own slaves. Slavery is not required to be Gorean.



The home is prime of importance to the Gorean, and this applies as much to the city-state of origin to the current residence or camp. 'A man's home in his castle' is translated in Gor to 'Every man is an Ubar within the circle of his sword.' (The Ubar is a war-leader, a General who takes power at a time of crisis, and whose rule is tantamount to tyrant until the crisis is resolved.) The Home Stone is held sacred by every city and settlement, and is displayed under guard. Any praise or insult to a Home Stone is taken personally by those who live in the city it symbolizes. The theft of a Home Stone is the gravest crime, and paradoxically the most honorable enterprise, that any Warrior could undertake.



Living Goreans, those that follow Gorean Morality here on Earth, hold the ideal of Home Stone very high. Home Stone as embodied on Earth, is consider to be, having personal sovereignty, and being a good citizen of your community. Being sovereign, and being a good citizen must be well balanced, so that neither the individual, nor the community suffers.



The Gorean's occupation is formed and informed by their caste. The Caste system establishes the Gorean identity as strongly as homeland. Because of the Gorean's work ethic and pride in caste, all castes are essentially equal. There is little social mobility because of this caste pride and identity; even the Peasant caste uphold their caste codes and firmly believe in their superiority to all other castes. But in actuality a few castes are more equal than the others. Those of High Caste, including Scribes, Warriors, Physicians, Builders and Initiates (holy men) have access to privileged education and opportunities to leadership. The social order is further consolidated by social edict: "A man who refuses to practice his livelihood or strives to alter status without consent of the Council of High Castes is by definition an outlaw." A Gorean regards the welfare of their caste higher than their own, but in return, the caste provides welfare and charity when a caste member is in need.



How many Living Gorean reflect the Gorean Morality in their professions, is to establish a code for their profession that they follow. This combined with striving for excellence in their profession, is a small reflection of the Caste system presented in the series.





[edit] Symbols

Distinctive Gorean symbols include various artistic renditions of the "kef" symbol (Kef being the initial letter of kajira in the Gorean language), the floral "dina" mark, and to a lesser extent other brands mentioned in Norman's Gor books.



Some Goreans also use symbols not derived from Norman's books, most prominently the Chinese character for "slave" 奴 (Unicode U5974), which contains the character for "woman" 女 as its left half and an old character for "right hand" as its right half, and so can be given the interpretation "woman under master's hand".[2] (However, the main function of the "woman" character 女 here is technically as a "phonetic" element indicating pronunciation, and the composite character 奴 is not always female-referring.)

[edit] Goreans in the novels

In the original novels, Goreans are simply those humans who live on the planet Gor. The back-story of the setting holds that various humans were transported from Earth to Gor in ancient times, a process which continues at a low volume in the present mostly in the form of Earth women taken to Gor as slaves.



In the books, although most slaves on Gor are female, most females are actually free women. The ratio has been presented as approximately 40 free women to one slave girl (though the various hints about Gorean demographics given in different Gor novels are not entirely consistent). Male slaves are less common than female, and are usually criminals, debtors or prisoners of war. Female slaves are called kajirae (singular: kajira) and male slaves are called kajiri (singular: kajirus) in the Gorean tongue.





[edit] Gorean-influenced group in the news

On Thursday 18 May 2006, a house in Darlington, County Durham, was raided by police in Darlington, United Kingdom. The police had received complaints that a woman was being held against her will, but a spokesman said that the woman was a willing participant, and the police found no evidence of criminal activity.[3] Lee Thompson, the leader of the "Kaotian" group, claims that Kaotians are not Gorean, but are better than Goreans.
