5.8: Common Behavior and Duties

These pages will highlight some common duties, and expectations that slaves often encounter within Gor. Behavior is always dictated by a slaves owner however, and while these pages may show some highlights, and quotes from the books, it is not all of them... nor is this page here to suggest that your owner cannot at any time tell you to do something contrary to what is on it. A slave obeys, first and foremost, even if they do not agree with their owner, or their practices.

He is Master, 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.
Explorers of Gor pgs. 178-179

A slave's duty:

" 'What are my duties?' I asked.
'Exquisite beauty and absolute obedience,' said Sucha."
Slave Girl of Gor, page 261

"What is your duty?" asked my master.
"Absolute obedience," I replied, in Gorean.
He held the whip to my lips. I pressed my lips to it, and kissed it. "Absolute obedience," I said.
Slave Girl of Gor, page 106

The slave makes no bargains; she does not desire small demands to be placed on her; she does not ask for ease; she asks nothing; she gives all; she seeks to love and selflessly serve.

What is true slavery?

"Do you know, ultimately," I asked, "who will prove to be your one best trainer?" "No, Master," she said. "You, yourself," I said, "the girl, herself, eager to please, imaginative and intelligent, monitoring her own performances and feelings, striving lovingly to improve and refine them. You yourself will be largely responsible for making yourself the superb slave you will become."

The collar," I said, touching it," is put on from without, but what it encircles, the slave, comes from within."
"Master?" she asked.
"Slavery," I told her, "true slavery, comes from within, and you, my lovely little red-haired beast, I assure you, as was evidenced by your behavior and performances this night, are a true slave. Do not fight your slavery. Allow it freely and spontaneously, candidly, sweetly and untrammeled, to manifest itself. It is what you are."
"Yes Master," she said.
"That, too," I said, "will save you many bouts with the lash."
