- Bara~~slave lays on her belly, her forehead to the floor, then turning her head to the left. she crosses her ankles and places her wrists, also
crossed, in the small of her back. She waits motionless to be bound.~~
QUOTE: "Bara," said Mincon to Tura."Bara," said I to Feliqa, both slaves went immediately to their bellies, their heads left, their wrists crossed behind their backs, their ankles crossed. It is a common binding position.
Mercenaries of Gor, p 145
- Belly~~slave falls to her belly at her Master's feet, parts her legs shoulder-width apart and lays palms down on either side of her head, her forehead to the ground~~
QUOTE: "Stop," he said. "To your belly." Then I was on my belly, on the tiles, my hands at the sides of my head, prone, before his curule chair.
Kajira of Gor, p 247
- Bonds of Master's Will~~when the Master places a girl in a position of His choice, then tells her it is the bond of Master's will, then the girl cannot move unless she wishes death instantly~~
QUOTE: "She wore the `bonds of the master's will.' Grunt had put her in them. She could not rise to her feet. Yet there was not a rope or 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, p 248
- Blanket~~slave is covered with a cloak, blanket, or any convenient piece of cloth. This material may cover her head or her entire body. When this is done, the slave is to remain completely quiet until the cloth is lifted from her by the hand of a free male. To not obey, is to be punished, usually by a beating. This position is to keep the slave quiet and unnoticed while her Master is busy fighting, traveling, or in a meeting with Another~~
QUOTE: "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."
Explorers of Gor, p 94
- Bracelets~~slave kneels, thighs spread wide, back arched, and extends her arms before her, her wrists together in preparation for being bound. Her head is held high, her eyes lowered submissively~~
QUOTE: "Bracelets," I said in Gorean, harshly. The girl snapped to position, hands behind the small of her back, head lifted, chin upturned to the left." Tribesman of Gor, p 78
- Capture
QUOTE: "'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.
- Coffled~~slave kneels, normally with her thighs parted, up upon her heels and lifts either the left or right wrist outwards, depending on the type of coffle, so that the wrist can be attached to a wrist ring within the coffle chain~~
QUOTE: "'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, they lowered their wrists. They were then in line, standing, coffled."
Slave Girl of Gor, p 127
- Crawl~~slave drops to all fours, her forearms flat on the ground, and lowers her head so that it is slightly above, but not touching, the ground, raising her bottom high. She crawls to her Master until her head is by His boots~~
QUOTE: "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.
'Return,' I told her. On her belly, head down, she returned to where she had knelt."
Tribesman of Gor page 78.
- Display~~girl stands w/hands clasped behind neck.. elbows out.. shoulders arched.. chest thrust
forward.. feet shoulders width apart~~
QUOTE: "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 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." Explorers of Gor pages 35-6.
- Feet
QUOTE: '"Feet,' I said. This time she had enough presence of mind to squirm to my feet and press her
lips upon them, kissing them." Vagabond of Gor page 276.
- Gorean Bow or Gorean Love Bow~~slave kneels, thighs spread wide, and leans over backwards until her head touches the floor. She then pulls herself up, arching her back. This exposes a slave's heat and breasts for her Master's enjoyment~~
QUOTE: "Over her iron collar she wore a heavy leather Kur collar, high, heavily sewn, with its large
ring. 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 long length of binding fiber
and, doubling it, looped it, securing it, as its center to the ring, leaving two long ends. He then
threw her, to the ring, leaving two long ends of the binding fiber and, taking them under the
body of the fallen Kur, dragged her writs, 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.
"Under the torchlight Phyllis Robertson was now on her knees, the Warrior at her side, holding
her behind the small of the back. Her head went farther back, as her hands moved on the
arms of the Warrior, as though once to press him away, and then again to draw him closer, and
her head then touched the furs, her body a cruel, helpless bow in his hands, and then, her head
down, it seemed she struggled and her body straightened itself until she lay, save for her head
and heels, on his hands clasped behind her back, her arms extended over her head to the fur
behind her." Assassins of Gor page 186.
- Hair~~slave remains in whatever position she is in but gathers her hair and offers it to her Master
to be led, shorn, seized, or used as a gag; hair may be used as a wiping cloth, napkin, remove
stains, grease, or crumbs, washing and cleaning floors; hair is never used for waxing or
varnishing~~
QUOTE: "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." Beasts of Gor page 409.
- Heel~~slave kneels just behind her Master's left foot. As he moves she must remain just behind His foot, but never
come in contact with it at any time~~
QUOTE: "When I snapped my fingers she would rise to her feet and follow me, heeling me, like the sleek
domestic beast she was, to her master's lodge. One of the first things a girl is taught to do is
to heel." Blood Brothers of Gor page 109.
- High Harness~~another display position; throat is exposed to a girl's Master; head held highly as possible~~
QUOTE: "'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 pages 308-9.
- Ko-lar or Female Submission~~ko-lar, or collaring position, is also called "the Position of Female Submission." A slave kneels at her Master's feet, sitting on her heels. She extends her arms upward, and crosses her wrists~~
QUOTE: "'Assume the position of female submission.' I told. She did so, kneeling back on her heels, her
arms extended, wrists crossed, her head between them, down. She was weeping." Tribesmen of
Gor page 359.
- Leading Position~~slave approaches her Master's side and bends at the waist, gathering up her hair to present to her Master, so He may lead her by the hair~~
QUOTE: "'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." Rogue of Gor page 248.
- Lesha~~slave kneels with her back to her Master, her thighs spread wide, her back arched. She crosses her wrists in
the small of her back for bracelets if required. She then turns her head to the left, her eyes lowered in submission, her lips slightly parted and awaits His leash.
QUOTE: "'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.
- Nadu~~slave kneels with her thighs spread wide, her back held straight or arched slightly, breast thrust forward, her head held high with eyes lowered submissively, sitting back on heels, hands resting palms up (making herself sexually available) or palms down (not available sexually) on thighs~~
QUOTE: "'Nadu' he snapped. She swiftly turned, facing him, and dropped to her knees. She knelt back
on her heels, her back straight, and her hands on her thighs, her head up, her knees wide. It
was the position of the pleasure slave." Explorers of Gor page 76.
"'Come now, my pretty slaves,' said Ginger, 'kneel straight. Back straight,
heads up. Back on your heels there! Spread those pretty knees. Yes, that is the way men like it. Put your hands, palms down, on your thighs. Good. good. Excellent!' The girls now knelt in the coffle as pleasure slaves."
Savages of Gor p 155
- Obedience or Obeisance~~three types
- "'The are many ways to perform obeisance.' I said... '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 page 409-10.
- 2. "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." Rogue
of Gor page 299.
- ..'Now' I said, 'for a third form of obeisance. You may belly to me.' ...'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.' ...'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.'" Mercenaries of Gor page 410.
- Prostrate~~used when entering a room; slave kneels with her forehead to the floor.. stretching her arms
out with palms face down and fingers spread; not used to display sexual craving~~
QUOTE: "I knelt before the guest, putting the palms of my hands on the floor and my head to the
tiles." Kajira of Gor page 305.
- Run~~slave runs toward her objective, taking small rapid steps, her legs almost straight, her feet barely leaving the
floor. As she runs, her back is straight, her head is turned to the left, her arms are at her sides with palms facing outward. Upon reaching her objective she drops gracefully to her knees and typically resumes the position of Nadu~~
QUOTE: "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 44.
- She-Sleen or Usage or Assuming The Modality Of The She-Quadruped ~~slaves gets down on her knees and elbows and clasps her hands over her head, raising her hips as she
does so. She parts her thighs and arches her back, forcing her hips yet higher, exposing herself completely to His view or caress. She readies herself to be beaten or taken sexually like an animal, depending on her Master's whim~~
QUOTE: In this form of slavery, which is commonly used for disciplinary purposes, or for the amusement of the Master, the woman is not permitted to arise from all fours; similarly she is not permitted human speech, though she may signify needs and desires by such means as cringing, and moaning and whimpering. Not permitted the use of her hands, save as a means of locomotion, she must also eat and drink from pans set on the floor, or, sometimes to satisfy her thirst, she must lap the water permitted to her from puddles or lick spillages from the tiles; too, it is not uncommon to chain her near her master's feet, while he dines, that he may, if he wishes, throw her scraps of food. She will also be taught tricks, through which paces she may be put for the entertainment of her master's guests, such things as begging, lying down, rolling over, and fetching his sandals in her teeth. And, needless to say, when her master wishes to use her sexually, it will be a position common to the she-quadruped."
Guardsman of Gor, page 225
"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 hands 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 page 424.
- Slaver's Caress~~slave drops to her hands and knees, her forehead to the ground, her hips raised high. She spreads her thighs wide, exposing herself for her Master's pleasure~~
QUOTE: "Her movements were wooden. The crowd was not pleased. There was only 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 page 294.
- Slave Lips~~slave turns her head up to her Master, puckering her lips as she does so. She waits motionless, forbidden to move until her Master's kiss releases her~~
QUOTE: "On your back," I snapped. "Make slave lips. Throw apart your legs!" Swiftly the girl complied,
tears in her eyes. She then lay there, her lips pursed to kiss, her ankles widely apart. I looked
down at her. She looked up at me, tears in her eyes. A girl who is commanded to make slave
lips, or who receives the command, "Slave lips," must form her mouth for kiss. She then,
commonly, is not permitted to break this lip position until either 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~~displinary position; reminds a slave of her place and purpose instead of for pleasure; she is
used for the sole purpose of her Master's relief, often violently, with little time wasted~~
QUOTE: "I went to the side of the room and picked up my sea bag. I threw it to the corner of the
room. She looked down at it puzzled. It was of heavy black material, canvas, and tied with a
white rope. '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.
- Stand
QUOTE: "'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
page 249.
- Standard Binding Position
QUOTE: "'Standing 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." Slave Girl of Gor page 125.
- Sula~~slave lays flat on the floor on her back, her feet spread shoulder width apart. She places her palms up at her sides. Her eyes remain lowered in submission and she silently awaits her Master's pleasure~~
QUOTE: "'Sula, Kajira!' said the man. She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands
at her sides, palms up, legs open." Explorers of Gor page 77.
- Sula-ki~~is also known as the alternate sula. A slave lays flat on the floor, face upward, her hands at her sides,
palms open and up. Her legs are spread wide in preparation for her Master's pleasure and she slowly lifts her hips off the floor~~
QUOTE: "The firelight was beautiful on her body. I think there was no aspect or attitude of her beauty
which she had not, pleadingly, presented before me for my inspection and appraisal. 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 page 329.
- Table~~slave has many uses to her Master, one of which is to present herself as a table, to support His feet or drink.
She goes to all fours making sure her back is level, her head held straight, her eyes lowered in submission. The girl should ensure she is stable, so as not to risk spilling the drink, or disturbing her Master, and should remain totally motionless. Stability can be increased if a girl ensures her thighs are parted widely and her elbows locked~~
QUOTE: there is not one from my viewing of the books.. however, this position is left on the page because i have been seen it performed several times
- Tower~~slave kneels with her knees modestly together, her back held straight, her head held high with eyes lowered submissively, sitting back on heels, with wrists crossed palms down (non-serving) or hands resting palm down (serving) upon her thighs~~
QUOTE: "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... The position of the Pleasure Slave, incidentally, differs from the position of both
the free woman and the Tower Slave. The hands of a Pleasure Slave normally rest on her thighs
but, in some cities, for example, Thentis, I believe, the are crossed behind her. More
significantly, for the free woman's hands may also rest on her thighs, there is a difference in
the placement of the knees. In all these kneeling positions, incidentally, even that of the
Pleasure Slave, the Gorean woman carries herself well; her back is straight and her chin is
high. She tends to be vital and beautiful to look upon." Priest Kings of Gor pages 46-7.
"Because of the animosities free women hold against the slave girl, and in deference to the fact
that a free woman is a free woman, the behavior in kneeling before such a free woman differs
from that of a male. 'Incidentally,' I said, 'when you kneel before the free woman in your
carefully prepared modest garb... be certain to kneel with your knees closed together.' 'Of
course master,' she said. 'She is female, not a male.' 'But even more importantly,' I said,
'insofar as you can, before her, and before any other free woman you 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." Magicians of Gor page 335.
- Whipping position~~slave quickly drops to her knees and raises her hips. She places her head to the floor and then
crosses her arms across her belly. She waits motionless ready to accept her Master's punishment. Slaves with long hair will pull their hair aside so their backs are exposed for the whip~~
QUOTE: "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 page 201-2.
It is important when attempting these various positions to remember a kajira is beautiful at all times. So, unless it is a command given out of anger, be descriptive.
