5.1: Positions and Commands

Bara	"Bara, Kajira!" he said. She rolled quickly to her stomach, placing her wrists behind her, crossed, and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound. --page 77, Explorers of Gor "Bara," said Mincon to Tula. "Bara," said I to Feiqa. Both slaves went immediately to their bellies, their heads to the left, their wrists crossed behind their backs, their ankles also crossed. It is a common binding position. We did not bother to bind them, however. It was enough that they lay there in this position. -- page 145, Mercenaries of Gor
Belly	"Now," I said, "for a third form of obeisance. You may 'belly' to me." "I do not understand," she whispered. "There are various forms of bellying," I said, "and bellying may be suitably and pleasingly combined with other forms of floor movements, approaching the Master on all fours, turning to your sides and back, writhing before him, and so on. We will take a very simple variation, suitable for an ignorant free female who has not yet even begun to discover the depths of her sexuality." She looked up at me. "On your belly," I said. She backed off a bit, and went to her belly. Her hair was before her face, as she, now on her belly before me, looked up at me. "Now inch forward," I said, "remaining low on your belly, and when you reach my feet, once again, as before, lifting your head a little, tenderly and humbly, and beautifully, as though you were a slave, lick and kiss them. Good. Good. Now take my foot and place it gently on your head. Very good. Now place it again on the mat, and kiss it again. Good. You may now belly back a little, humbly. I have not yet given you permission to rise of course." -- page 410-411, Mercenaries of Gor
Blanket	I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket, over her, covering her completely. When a blanket, or cloak, or covering of any sort, is thrown over a slave like this she may not speak or rise. She must remain as she is, silent, until the master, or some free man, lifts the covering away. -- page 94, Explorers of Gor
Bracelets	"Bracelets," he snapped. She put her head in the air and placed her hands behind her back. -- page 146, Hunters of Gor "Bracelets!" I said in Gorean, harshly. The girl snapped to position, hands behind the small of her back, head lifted, chin up, turned to the left. In such a posture she may be conveniently put in bracelets, and leashed. -- page 78, Tribesmen of Gor
Bound by the Master's Will	The slave is commanded to hold a position, as though bound, though no actual confinments are used. The slave may not move, rise or speak until released from this position by a Free. She was the slave who, earlier had been used by Yellow Knives as, in effect, a lure girl, one used to distract or, say, entrap a warrior. Cotanka had been fortunate. He had not been killed. He now owned her. I did not think her lot would be an easy one. She wore the "bonds of te master's will." Grunt had put her in them. She lay on her stomach. Her wrists were crossed behind her. Her ankles, too, were crossed. She was "bound." She could not rise to her feet. Yet there was not a rope or a strap on her body. She was "bound by the master's will." She could not move from this position unless, at the word of a free person, she was freed from it. To break the position otherwise is to be instantly slain. Blood Brothers of Gor, Page 248
Coin	The fellow who stood by the table, scarcely noticing the girl, placed a tarsk bit in her mouth, and she fled back to the counter where, under the eye of a paga attendant, she spit the coin into a copper bowl. -- pages 77-78, Rogue of Gor
Collaring (also called posture of female submission)	She came and stood before me, and then dropped to her knees, resting back on her heels. She lowered her head and extended her arms, wrists crossed, the submission of the Gorean female. I did not immediately bind her, but walked about her, examining her as prize. I had not hitherto understood her as so beautiful, and desirable. At last, after I had well satisfied myself as to her quality, I took a bit of binding fiber that had fastened her ankles at the prow, and lashed her wrists together. --page 92, Raiders of Gor "Assume the posture of female submission," I told her. She did so, kneeling back on her heels, her arms extended, wrists crossed, her head between them, down. She was weeping. -- page 359, Tribesmen of Gor He took his strap off her throat, and unbound her hands. "Submit" I told her. She knelt before me, back on her heels, arms extended, head down, between her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding. "I submit to you, Master," she said. I tied her hands together; she then lowered her bound wrists; I pulled up her head. I held before her an opened collar, withdrawn from my sea bag. I had had one prepared. -- page 74, Explorers of Gor He twisted her hair more. She winced, her back bent painfully. "Do you wish me to submit to you now?" she begged. "Do so," said he. She fell to her knees before him, and lifted her head to regard him. "I will be your slave," she said. Then, she knelt back on her heels, lowered her head, and lifted and extended her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding. She was very beautiful. "I am your slave," she said, "--Master." -- page 16, Hunters of Gor
Common Usage Position	He knelt me there. "Put your head down, to the floor," he said. "Clasp your hands, firmly, behind the back of your neck." "Yes, Master," I moaned. He was then behind me. He put his hands, under my arms, on my breasts, sweetly and firmly. Then he moved his bands back, caressing my flanks. My head was down. My fingers were together, behind the back of my neck. I was in his collar. It was steel, I could not remove it. I belonged to him. My body hurt, from his whip, that of my master. My head hurt, from my hair, where I had been conducted, unceremoniously, to this location. "Please, Master," I sobbed. "Not like this! Not you, please!" "The slave is pretty," he remarked. "Oh!" I cried. "Oh!" "You have a lovely ass," he said. "Ohhh!" I said. "You may thank me," he said. Kajira of Gor,pg. 434
Crawl	I pointed to the stones at my feet. "Crawl," I said, in Gorean. The girl slipped to her belly, and, as a slave girl, crawled to my feet. She put her lips to my foot; I felt her hair over it. -- page 78, Tribesmen of Gor
Discipline of the She-quadruped	Modality of the She-Quadruped This is also refered to as the she-sleen. "She is perhaps under the discipline of the she-quadruped," I said. The girl whimpered, looking at us, nodding her head affirmatively. Then she put her head down again. "Oh," said Boabissia. In this discipline the female is forbidden human speech. She is also forbidden human posture, in the sense that she is not allowed to rise to her feet. Her locomotion, unless commanded to roll, or put under similar commands, suitable for a pet, will be on all fours. Her food will be thrown to her, or put in pans on the ground. In either case, she must feed without the use of her hands. She may also, of course, be fed by hand, but, again, will not be permitted to touch the food with her hands. She may be taught tricks. Sometimes these are taught as functions of arbitrary sounds, so that she must learn them as any animal might, without the benefit of an earlier understanding of the words used. If she is slow to learn, of course, she is punished, as would any other animal. When used, too, it will commonly be in the modality of the she-quadruped. This discipline is often used as a punishment, but it may also figure in the training of a new girl. It helps her to understand what she now is, an animal totally subject to her master. After some time, sometimes as little as a few Ahn, in this discipline, she begs mutely, pleadingly, as eloquently as she can, to be permitted to serve her master in fashions more typical of the normal female slave, fashions in which her bondage, because of the greater complexities and latitudes of dutifulness and subservience possible with human activity, speech and posture, for example, dance, beginning at least on her feet, and song, may be even more deliciously complete and pleasing to him. To make certain that there are no possible confusions or misunderstandings involved in such cases the master usually gives the female a brief opportunity to speak, usually only for a few Ihn, in which she must make her pleas, hoping to win his favor. If he is not satisfied with her pleas, of course, she is returned promptly to her former discipline. Too, for wasting his time, she might be exposed to other disciplines, as well, usually the lash. -- pages 215-216, Mercenaries of Gor
Display	The slave rises, standing erect with legs a shoulder length apart, the back straight, head high with eyes lowered, raising the arms and bending them at the elbows, entwining the fingers behind the neck for inspection. This is not seen as a proper command/position in books, but the position is used often in displaying slaves on auction. The auctioneer did not strike her with his whip. He merely took her arms and lifted them, so that the position chain, attached to each side of the sales collar lay across her her upper arms. Then he had her clasp her hands behind the back of her neck, so that the chain, on each side of the collar, was in the crook of her arms, and she was exposed in such a way that she could be properly exhibited. -- pages 35-36, Explorers of Gor The Lady Gina spoke to the slave, Lola. Immediately the girl placed her hands behind her head and threw her head back, arching her back and body, legs flexed, before me. I supposed that it was sometimes in such a fashion that slave girls were ordered to display themselves for the pleasure or inspection of masters. I almost sobbed with the pleasure of seeing her. -- page 66, Fighting Slave of Gor
Gagged by the Master's Will/Gag Law	"When she had been used before my kennel, she had been under "gag law," as is common when the guards use a girl, forbidden speech, save for moans and whispers." Dancer of Gor, page 65
Gorean Love Bow	"He thrust her two wrists, before her body, into the ring he had cut from the Kur. He then tied them inside, and to, the ring. He then, from his belt, took a length of binding fiber and doubling it, looped it, securing it, at it's center to the ring, leaving two long ends. He then threw her, on her back, over the body, head down, of the fallen Kur. He took the two loose ends of the binding fiber and, taking them under the body of the fallen Kur, dragged her wrists, elbows bent, over and above her head; he then, bending her knees, tied one of the loose ends about her left ankle, and the other about her right. It was the Gorean love bow." Marauders of Gor, page 261
Har-ta	When hearing this command, a slave is to move faster, in whatever she/he is doing. Tarnsman of Gor page 57
Heel	"These things vary, I learned from city to city, and depend, also, on such matters as context and conditions. In a market, in the crowding and jostling for instance, a girl may follow so closely she pressed against the back of his left shoulder. Girls seldom follow behind and on the right. If she is thusly placed it is commonly a sign she is in disfavor. If more than one girl is involved, she who follows most closely on the left is generally taken to be in highest favor; girls compete for this position. In an open area, such as the fields in which we trekked, the girl is placed some five or ten feet behind, and on the left. If he must move suddenly she will not, thusly, constitute an impediment to his action. Slave Girl of Gor, page 30
High Harness	"Lift your head, " he said. "Higher. Higher!" She looked up at him, her head far back, the leash on her throat.... "You need not now keep your head in high-harness position," he said to the girl. She moved her head. Mercenaries of Gor, pgs 308-309
Knee Walk/Crawl	I indicated a flat leather box to one side. "Knee crawl," I said. "Fetch it here." She went to the box on her knees and picked it up, and returned to a place before me. It had been a simple knee crawl. I was briefly reminded, however, of the Turian knee walk, sometimes used by slave dancers. I considered the slave. I did not doubt but what she might be taught to dance. ---Magicians of Gor, 20
Kneel to be Coffled	"Kneel to be coffled," said one of the men. The girls knelt, closely, one behind the other, there were six wrist rings on the chain he carried. He placed the girl who had been whipped by Lady Sabina first in the coffle line. "Left wrist coffle," he said. They lifted their left wrists, frightened. Interestingly, the man snapping the wrist rings on the girls´ left wrists did not put the first girl in the first ring, but the second. When the four maids were coffled there was, thus, an empty wrist ring both at the head and rear of the line. "Stand, Slaves," said the man. "Lower chain." The girls stood. Then, ordered, the lowered their wrists. They were then in line, standing, coffled." Slavegirl of Gor, page 127
Kneel to the Whip	I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip. I shook, visibly, at his feet. I whimpered. I waited for him to call a guard, to bring the lash. Slave Girl of Gor, p. 200 "Kneel to the whip," said Samos. Piteously she knelt, a slave girl. Her wrists were crossed under her, as though bound, her head was to the floor, the bow of her back was exposed. She shuddered. I had little doubt but what this slave knew well, and much feared, the disciplining kiss of the Gorean slave lash. Marauders of Gor, p. 13 Terrified, she, as the expression is, knelt to the whip, assuming the position of the slave girl who is to be punished, her wrists crossed beneath her as though bound and her head touching the floor, leaving the bow of her back exposed. Priest Kings of Gor, pages 201-202 "I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet... I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip." Captive of Gor, page 200
Leading (also called Hair)	"Head in leading position," I said. "I am the Lady Florence!" she said. I took her head by the hair and held it at my hip. “Oh,” she sobbed. It was thus that I had seen one of the brigands leading Bonnie into her new slavery, one in which she would serve not a woman, but men. -- page 335, Fighting Slave of Gor I then snapped my fingers and held my right hand, open, at my hip. Swiftly the girl rose to her feet and, half crouching, put her head by my hand. I fastened the fingers of my hand deeply and firmly in her red hair. She winced, and kissed at my thigh. I then, the goblet of paga in my left hand, her hair in my right, dragged her beside me, her slender chains rustling, to the nearest empty alcove. -- page 59, Rogue of Gor I held my left hand open, at my waist. She stiffened, and looked at me, angrily. I opened and closed my left hand once. I saw her training in Gorean customs had been thorough. But she never thought that such a gesture would be used to her. She came beside me, and a bit behind me, and, crouching, put her head down, deeply. I fastened my hand in her hair. She winced. Women are helpless in this position. -- page 409, Beasts of Gor "Leading position," he said. Sobbing, she rose to her feet, and put her head down, at what would be the height of a man's waist, her legs flexed. A guard walked over and fastened his hand in her hair. "Have her whipped," said Policrates. "Yes, Captain," said the man. He then left the chamber, pulling the girl, sobbing, at his side. -- page 288, Rogue of Gor "We are going to get out of here," I said. I then looked back at the bound captive, and then located the leather thong with the tarsk bit threaded on it. She looked at me wildly over the gag. She shook her head. She whimpered twice, again and again, desperately. Then the thong was tied about her waist, knotted in the back and the tiny coin, threaded on the thong, dangled at her belly. I pushed it into her belly so that she could feel its impression, and then released it. I then took her by the hair with my right hand. "Come along," I said to her. I picked up the tiny lamp with my other hand. "Follow us," I said to the blonde. I then left the alcove, holding the lamp, drawing the bound captive by the hair after me. The blonde followed. The one body in the tunnel was to the right. In a moment or so we had crawled around the other one, that which had been to the left. Their message, according to the fellow who had been on the right, had been a matter of life and death. I supposed that had been intended to be a witticism on his part. Doubtless he would have enjoyed reporting on the manner and the words with which he had delivered the "message." He had spoken truly, it seems. But it had turned out to be a matter of my life and their death. In a moment or two, as we were near the end of the tunnel, we came to the back corridor. We could stand up there. We came to the rear entrance. There was a small lamp there, in a niche, and I extinguished the lamp I carried and put it down. In a moment I had left the building, pulling the captive behind me, her head held down at my waist, in leading position. We were followed by the blonde in the brief leather garment I had fashioned for her. The door latched behind us. -- pages 399-400, Mercenaries of Gor
	Leading (also called Hair)
Lesha	"Lesha," snapped the second officer to the blond girl. She spun from facing him, and lifted her chin, turning her head to the left, placing her wrists behind her, as though for snapping them into slave bracelets. Explorers of Gor, page 76 "Lesha!" he said. Immediately, responsive to this command, I flung my wrists behind me, separated by some two inches, and lifted my chin, my head turned to the left. I felt slave bracelets flung, snapping shut, on my wrists. I was braceleted. In another moment I was leashed. Dancer of Gor, page 365
	Lesha
Light the lamp of love	When a Master wishes to make use of a slave girl he tells her to light the lamp of love which she obediently does, placing it in the window of his chamber that they may not be disturbed. then with his own hand he throws upon the floor of his chamber luxurious love furs, perhaps from the larl itself, and commands her to them. From Priest Kings of Gor, pg 68
Nadu	Nadu is the gorean position of the pleasure slave and usually the first slave position taught to a new slave. A kneeling slave is directed to straighten the back and sit on the heels, lifting her head, and placing the hands, palms down, on her/his thighs. There are a couple of examples which suggest a variation of uplifted palms, though this appears to be an exception to the basic position. "Nadu!" he snapped. She swiftly turned, facing him, and dropped to her knees. She knelt back on her heels, her back straight, her hands on her thighs, her head up, her knees wide. It was the position of the pleasure slave. Explorers of Gor, page 77
Nestle	"'Nestle' I told her. 'Yes Master' she said. She nestled obediently in the crook of my left arm." Explorers of Gor, page 279
Obeisance	A position of extreme deference which is described as a slave deeply bowing her head from the basic pleasure slave position, often flattening the palms against the floor and leaning forward to lick and kiss the Boots of a Free Person. Obeisance is described in many ways in the books in various areas. Different ways to show a slaves devotion and dependance on their owner. Commonly people describe three forms of obesiance that is given, though some question if it is a position at all, but rather differing ways that a slave may show their belly, their slavery, their dependance, and their need for their owner whether in a way to placate an angry Master, or respect or to show their desires for their owner. "It is pleasant to have a woman perform obeisance before one. It is also appropriate. In such a way, in such symbolisms, may the order of nature, and its profound truths, in a conventional and civilized manner, be expressed and acknowledged." ---Vagabonds of Gor, p.205 Swiftly we assumed a common form of slave obeisance, kneeling, the palms of our hands on the ground, our heads to the ground. Many masters, though it tends to be rather associated usually with given cities, require this position of their girls, usually when they first enter his presence or find themselves, as in a room which he has entered, in his presence. ---Dancer of Gor, p 114 At his entrance Susan put the palms of her hands on the floor and lowered her head to the tiles, assuming a position of slave obeisance common with her in the presence of her master. ---Kajira of Gor, p 157 "I said. "I am a free woman," she said, " I know none of them." "I shall instruct you briefly in three," I said. " First kneel before me , back on your heels, yes, with your knees wide, wider, your hands on your thighs, your back straight, your breasts out, good, your belly in, good, and now lower your head in deference, in submission." "Now that," I said, " may not be exactly a form of obeisance, for authorities do not all agree, but for our purposes we shall count it as one. It is, at any rate, a beautiful position, and it is, certainly, a common position of slave submission." ---Mercenaries of Gor, pp 409-410 "Now" I said, " and this is clearly a form of obeisance, bend forward and put your head to the mat, the palms of your hands on the mat. Good. Now lift your head little and come forward, substantially keeping the position. Forward a little more." "But then my face will be at your feet," she said," My lips will be over them!" "Yes," I said, "Good, now, put your head down and lick and kiss my feet." "I am a free Woman!" She Said. "You are a woman," I said," now softly lingeringly, and lovingly, Good." "I am not a slave," she said "All women are slaves, "I said " Imagine what this would be like if you were truly a collared slave." She gasped. ---Mercenaries of Gor, pp 409-410 "You may do obeisance, my dear," said Kliomenes. The girl rose to her feet and went to Kliomenes. She knelt before him, on the dais, and put her head down. Gently, softly, she licked and kissed his feet. She then rose again to her feet, backed away, and then, on the tiles, again knelt. She put the palms of her hands upon the tiles, and lowered her head to the tiles. Then she straightened up, her back straight, assuming the position of a pleasure slave, though keeping her head bowed, deferentially. ---Rogue of Gor, page 299
On the Snap	If a slave is at the service of a Free, and They snap Their fingers at her, she will drop to her knees if she is standing. If she is kneeling already, she will rise to her feet. "He suddenly snapped his fingers and, in the swift double gesture of the Gorean Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before him, almost simultaneously turning his hand, spreading the first and index fingers, pointing downwards. I fled to him and knelt before him, my knees in the dirt, in the position of the pleasure slave, my head down, trembling." Captive of Gor, p. 143 ”I snapped my fingers. She knelt. I snapped my fingers again. She stood.” Fighting Slave of Gor, p. 215 “I snapped my fingers. ‘Yes Master’, she said. She approached at the sound and knelt before me.” Fighting Slave of Gor, p. 248
Pretended disinterest	"Ah, I see," I smiled. "Master sports with the slave." I had thought that perhaps he had been referring to something I had heard about in training, the dangerous "pretended disinterest" sometimes commanded by masters of their girls, usually with respect to supper guests to whom he intends to lend her for the night. She must then, even if her belly is raging for the touch of the guest, attempt to pretend to disinterest in him, and even loathing, if the master wishes, though she must, of course, serve him with perfection. She then, gradually, permits herself to let her true feelings appear, thus attempting to give the impression of having been seduced by him, and then, later, after a suitable time, she is honestly piteous, kneeling beside him, licking and kissing. He then sends her to his room, that she may prepare it, and herself, for him. Most masters, however, do not do this sort of thing for it is meretricious, and, at best, a joke. Too, it can be dangerous for the girl, as she is usually under the obligation, at least by the seventh Ahn, if he has not penetrated to the heart of the matter by then, which is usually the case to inform the use master of her master's jest, which intelligence he might or might not appreciate. Many girls have been whipped for such things, which are not really their fault. They are only obeying, as they must. But then a girl must sometimes expect the whip, I suppose. She is, after all, a slave. On the other hand, few men will whip a girl for having pretended not to he attracted to him, if she is actually attracted to him, particularly if she has done so under her master' s orders. Such devices, of course, but without the authenticity and the ultimate surrender, are often resorted to by "lure girls," slaves who serve as bait for captains who need crewmen, masters of work gangs, and such. Such work can be very dangerous, given the astuteness of many Gorean masters. Such a pretense, however, can be maintained with many men for at least a few minutes, and with some men for an hour or so, which is generally more than enough time for the purposes of the master, and the master's men, unobtrusively, are usually near at hand. It is not unknown, of course, for a girl who serves at such a supper, and is genuinely disinterested, or repulsed, by a given guest, to be given to him for the night. Such things can amuse the master and the guest. Too, they tend to be good for the girl's discipline. Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 244 - 245
Prostrate	This position is also refered to as the Tile Position. On-line it is commonly called karta, but as this is not a word in the books. "As we approached, she oriented herself towards us, palms of her hands on the floor, and put her head to the tiles. But, as we neared her, she lifted her head, desperately. "Hermidorus!" she cried, suddenly. "Hermidorus!" He stopped before her, a few feet from her, and we stopped too, behind him. Do you not know me?" she begged. 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. "Deirdre!" she cried. "Deidre! Two years ago in Ar we lived in the same building!" He looked at her, not speaking. "Deidre," she whimpered. "In the instant you were inbonded, you ceased to be Deirdre, Girl," he said. "Girl?" she said. "What is your house name?" he asked. "Oh no," she said. "Not you! Not you, of all people! You do not see me as a slave! You could not see me as a slave! I know you. That would be impossible! You could not relate to me as though I might be a slave! You could not! One such as you would never enforce my slavery upon me! One such as you could never do so!" Then she looked up at him, her lower lip trembling. " 'Renata' is my house name," she said. He then removed the belt from his tunic. The accouterments on it he handed to Drusus Rencius. "You lifted your head from the tile position before free persons had passed you, Renata," he said "You also addressed a free man twice by his name. Similarly your speech has been inadequately deferential. It has not been interspersed, at the appropriate points, for example, by the expression 'Master'. You have also referred to yourself as though you still might be 'Deidre'. Such falsifications of identity are not permitted to slaves. Deirdre is gone. In her place there is now only a slave, an animal, who must wear whatever name her Master choose to put on her. Similarly, when asked a question, that pertaining to your house name, you didnot respond with sufficient promptness. Do you understand all that I am saying, fully and clearly, Renata?" She looked up at him, tears in her eyes, "Yes Master," she said. Kajira of Gor, page 145-146
Run	"I was amused, for she had run as a slave girl is sometimes taught to run, with rapid short steps, her legs almost straight, her feet scarcely leaving the ground, back straight, head turned to the left, arms at her sides, palms out at a forty-five degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true run." Assassin of Gor, page 45
Show Rebellion	“There is a mock rebellion which is sometimes permitted a slave girl, or even commanded of her, for the master’s amusement. I felt a tear on my cheek. 'Show rebellion', is a command which a girl must, as any other, obey. Yet it is a terribly cruel command. 'Kneel' is the command which, commonly, puts an end to her rebellion. When a girl has been permitted defiance it is then all the sweeter, I gather, to bring her again to her knees before you.” Slave Girl of Gor, p. 153
Slave Lips	When this command is given the slave turns her/his head up to the Owner, lips pursed in a sensual kissing position. She remains motionless, lips thusly puckered and may not move until granted the kiss of a Master. Kajira of Gor, page 224 "A girl who is commanded to make slave lips, or who receives the command, `Slave lips,' must form her mouth for kissing. She then, commonly, is not permitted to break this lips position until she kisses or is kissed. Needless to say, a girl cannot speak when her lips are in the unbroken, fully pursed slave lips position. The command which commonly follows the `Slave lips' command is, `Please me.'" Blood Brothers of Gor, page 111
Slave Rape Position	"Lie down upon it," I told her, "on your back, your head to the floor." She did so. "No, please," she said, "not like this." It is a common position for a disciplinary slave rape. In it the woman feels very vulnerable, very helpless. I then took her. Explorers of Gor, page 202
Slaver's Caress	Among Slavers this is known as the Whip Caress. A whip or similar object is drawn across the heat of a slave, unexpectedly, taking her by surpise, to force a girl to betray herself. Then, before I could realize what he intended, he had subjected Miss Cardwell to what, among slavers, is known as the Whip Caress. Ideally it is done, as Kamchak had, unexpectedly, taking the girl unawares. Elizabeth suddenly cried out throwing her head to one side. I observed to my amazement the sudden, involuntary, uncontrollable response to the touch. The Whip Caress is commonly used among Slavers to force a girl to betray herself. Nomads of Gor, pg 168 Her movements were wooden. The crowd was not pleased. There was only a two gold piece bid. Then taking the whip from the whip slave the auctioneer stepped to the disconsolate girl; suddenly, without warning, he administered to her the Slaver's caress, the whip caress, and her response was utterly, uncontrollably, wild, helpless. She regarded him in horror. The crowd howled with delight. Assassin of Gor, pg 294
Speak as a Slave	Generally in online interactions you will see many places that use 3rd person speech as the only way that slaves may communicate unless given permission to do otherwise. Within the books, slaves were generally allowed to speak in 1st person unless told otherwise... or commanded to "speak as a slave". The online adaptation of speaking in 3rd person all the time is generally seen as an attempt to help a slave remind themselves of their station and place due to the fact that in online interactions there really aren't too many ways to forcibly remind a slave of her place. This is something that will vary from one person to the next. Some think that slaves should speak in 3rd person all the time, and some only when it is commanded by the Master. "Who!' she demanded. `I did,' I cried. `I did!' `Speak as a slave!' demanded Ute. `El-in-or betrayed Ute!' I cried. `El-in-nor betrayed Ute!'" Captive of Gor pg 287 ""Please, Master!" I whimpered. "Do you beg? he asked. "yes, Master!" i said. "Who begs?" he asked. "Tuka, the slave of Teibar of Ar, begs" I moaned." Dancer of Gor, page 466
Stake Position	“‘Amina and Rimice’, he said, ‘I have been using as rent slaves.’ ‘I see’, I said. ‘Stake position’, said Ephialtes to the two women. Immediately they both lay down, with a sound of chain. It is not unusual to forbid a rent slave, during her use times, when chained at a stake, to rise even to her knees.” Vagabonds of Gor, p. 386
Standard Binding Position	"Standard binding position," he said. I was prone. When a girl is prone, the standard binding position is to cross the wrists behind the back and to cross the ankles. I took this position instantaneously. That I did this did not cause him any pleasure. No one in the room thought anything of it. I was simply a prone slave girl who had been commanded to standard binding position. No one in the room, including myself, would have expected me to do other than comply. Lack of compliance by a slave girl to a command in the Gorean world is unthinkable. She obeys. -- page 125, Slave Girl of Gor (see also Bara)
Stand	"Commonly the slave girl, when not facing her Master, if she is right handed, as most girls are, will have her weight on the ball of her left foot. Her left leg will be slightly, subtly, flexed and her right leg will be substantially flexed. Her head will be turned to the right, as though she would look over her right shoulder. Her hamstrings will not be tight." Hunters of Gor, pg. 152 "Stand as a slave," he said. I stood beautifully, back straight, head high, belly sucked in, hip turned. No woman can stand more beautifully than as a Gorean slave girl. Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 249
Stay	On this command a slave stays in place, whether kneeling or standing, until given permission by a Free to move. Dancer of Gor page 156
Sula	"Sula, Kajira!" he said. She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, her legs open. Explorers of Gor, page 77
Sula-Ki	Then she lay on her back, her knees drawn up, before me. She arched her back. Her breasts were lifted beautifully. I observed their lovely rise and fall, correlated with the respiratory cycle of her small lungs. Then she lay back, her shoulders in the dirt, and pressing against the earth with her small feet, piteously lifted before me, for my examination, and seizure, if I pleased, the deep belly of her, the sweet cradle of her slave's heat. Explorers of Gor, pg. 329
Supine Capture Position	"On your back," he said, "knees raised, heels on the floor." I then lay before him, in a standard, supine capture position. Kajira of Gor, page 422
Table	The slave goes to all 4, locking her elbows, makes her back smooth and level, she holds her head level with her back. (this is not a position in the books, some places do require a slave to know this so it is offered here as a reference)
Thigh	The command 'thigh' may be given by a free man to a woman in order to see if she is a slave (branded) or a free woman. “'Thigh', I said. The dark-haired woman turned immediately to her side, exposing her left thigh to me. There was a chain on her neck, run to a stake near the wagon. A small copper bowl was beside her. 'Thigh', I said, to the other woman, also dark-haired, but smaller. With an exciting, sensuous movement she exhibited her thigh. Vagabonds of Gor, pp. 383-85 “'Thigh', said the fellow who had admitted us, looking at Ina. He wished, of course, to ascertain if she was a slave.” Vagabonds of Gor, p. 399
Tower	The slave kneels, thighs pressed together, with the palms flat upon them. The back is straight with the head held high, eyes lowered in submission. Wrists may also be crossed. "The position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding. A free woman's wrists are never so placed." Priest-Kings of Gor, pg.46 “The position of the tower slave, in most cities, is very similar to that of the pleasure slave. The major difference is that the tower slave, whose duties are commonly, primarily, domestic, kneels with her knees in a closed position, whereas the pleasure slave, in a symbolic recognition of the fuller nature of her bondage, and its most significant aspects, kneels with them in open position. The tower slave, of course, like any other slave, is fully at the disposal of the master, in any and every way. The distinction between the tower slave and the pleasure slave, though honored in some markets, some specializing in girls sold primarily for housekeeping purposes and others in girls sold primarily for the pleasures of men, is not really a hard and fast distinction; it is not absolute; indeed, it can even be transitory. A girl who is ordered to open her knees, or who finds them kicked apart, for example, realizes that she has now become a pleasure slave. Similarly a girl in one context may function as one kind of slave and in another context, as another sort. Serving supper to a young man and his mother, for example, the girl may appear merely efficient and deferential. She kneels nearby, her knees closed. After the mother departs, however, she may kneel differently before the young man, with her knees open, his.” Blood Brothers of Gor, p. 107 Kneeling before Free Women: "‘Incidentally’, I said, ‘when you kneel before the free woman, in your carefully prepared modest garb, fit for a lowly slave, as you must soon do, to convey to her the message which will be inserted in the message tube about your neck, be certain to kneel with your knees closely together.’ ‘Certainly, Master’, she said. ‘She is a female, not a male.’ ‘But even more importantly’, I said, ‘insofar as you can, before her, and before any other free woman who might be in attendance upon her, conceal your sexuality. Do not let them suspect it. Let them think that you are as inert and meaningless as they are.’ ‘That is common by slave girls before free women, Master’, she said. ‘It does not take us long to learn that, once we are in the collar.’” Magicians of Gor, p. 355
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.
