"A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so."
Book 7, Captive of Gor, page 73 ~才
"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. Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 16 "In a corridor we passed a female slave. She dropped to her knees and put her head down, her hair upon the tiles as we passed." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 13 ~才
"As soon as the wooden door was shut, the bar dropped in place, I turned to regard Miss Blake-Allen. She was standing, concealed in the haik, regarding me. I strode to her and threw her to the rough boards at my feet, tearing the haik from her. She looked up at me, terrified. Book 10, Tribesman of Gor, pages 46 - 47 ~才
"She had stood there, not daring to approach. Then my captor had indicated that she might enter his presence. Radiantly, joyously, she fled to him, and knelt before him, putting her head to his feet." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 45
"It gave me pleasure to assume this posture before my master, who had full body rights to me, it gave me less pleasure, in the beginning, to assume it before free men generally; yet, eventually, I did it naturally, and pleasurably; it is a position that not only makes the girl more attractive to the man; but, too, subtly, psychologically, by its effect on the girl, by intensifying her sense of openness, vulnerability and exposure, it makes men much more attractive to her, she thus kneeling, and opened, before them; the girl who finds many men attractive is likely to find the master attractive; the girl who finds few men attractive is to that extent the less likely to find the master attractive; the pleasure slave, so submissively and vulnerably positioned, so helpless and opened before men, cannot help herself but become curious and excited, and heated, about them." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 77
"I saw her kneel back on her heels. I saw her straighten her back, and lift her chin, and put her hands on her thighs. 'No!' I said. I saw her spread her knees. 'No,' I said. 'No! No!' I had seen girls in the palace do that, for example, when a free man had entered a room. Sometimes, too, in identically this same position, they would keep their heads submissively lowered, until given permission to raise them. This variation, and similar variations, depend on the specific discipline to which a given girl is subjected. The head is usually kept raised; this precludes the necessity of a specific command to lift the head; in the head lifted position she has no choice but to bare her facial beauty to the viewer; too, her least expression may be read; too, of course, she can see who is in the room with her and is thus better able, even from the first instant, to discern his moods, anticipate his needs, and respond to his commands." Book 11, Kajira of Gor, pages 83 - 84
"Bosk of Port Kar tied my wrists behind my back. He then said to me, 'Kneel,' and I knelt. 'Cross your ankles,' he said. I did so. Then, with the loose end of the fiber which bound my wrists, he tied my crossed ankles together, fastening them, thus, to my wrists. Some six inches of strap separated my bound wrists and bound ankles." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 409
"In one long corridor we passed two girls, naked, on their hands and knees, with brushes and water, scrubbing the stones of the corridor floor. A guard, with a whip, stood over them. They fell to their bellies as we passed, and then, when we had passed, rose to their hands and knees, to resume their work." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 20 ~才
"She then approached me, and stood quite close before me. She had not been taught to stand this closely before me. She knew, instinctively, in the circumstances, where she would stand. This pleased me for it indicated, whether she knew it or not, that she was a natural slave. This distance, of course, was not cultural for her. She came from a culture which requires a significant distance, usually a yard or more, between male speakers and such and as much, or more, between speakers of the opposite sex. Yet she knew readily, or instinctively, or intuitively, or naturally, or somehow, that she should be, in these circumstances, standing as she was before me, at a distance where I might, if I wished, without inconvenience, simply take her in my arms." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 200 ~才
"The Gorean slave girl, incidentally, will space herself from her master quite differently in different situations. For example, if she is somewhat farther away, it is easier for her to display herself in all her beauty; if she wishes to wheedle for his caress she may approach quite closely; if she is receiving instructions she may kneel a few feet away; if she is begging to serve his pleasure she may kneel at his feet, perhaps kissing them, and holding his ankles; obviously, too, a girl who fears she is to be disciplined will commonly hang back; sometimes too, a girl will fear to approach too closely until the master, by an expression or small sign, indicates that she is not in obvious disfavor and may do so." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 201
"The kneeling position is, of course, a suitable one for slaves. A slave will normally assume such a position on entering the presence of her master or a free person. She will probably remain in it until permitted to rise. It is a common position, too, for her to assume when she is in attendance of a master, for example, awaiting his notice or commands. Too, she will usually speak to her master from this position, unless,of course, she lying down, as in making her reports to him, inquiring as to his will, answering questions, and so on. Some masters approve it, too, for purposes of general conversation. Most masters, incidentally, enjoy talking with their slaves, immensely; after all, the slave is not a mere contractual partner, in effect, a business associate; she is a prized possession, she is a treasure, and she is all one's own." Book 18, Blood Brothers of Gor, page 246
" 'Girl,' I said to her. Book 21, Mercenaries of Gor, page 215
"It is almost universal, as far as I know, that a slave kneels in one fashion or another when entering her master's presence, or if she should find herself in his presence. She commonly kneels when spoken to by any free person. This is simple a matter of respect. To be sure, she can be slain if she does not do so. The kneeling position of course, which the master's, or free person's, permission, either tacit or explicit, is usually required to break, is commonly an initial position. For example, after its deferential assumption, she may be dismissed from it, to other duties, such as cleaning, shopping or cooking." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 115
"It is customary in the kneeling position to remain a few feet back from the male. The kneeling position, itself, expresses the servitude of the slave, and her submission. The distance serves three major purposes. It symbolizes, in the distance, as well as in the differential height, the social inferiority of the slave to the master. It puts the slave in a position, where all of her, for the Master's delight, can be seen. A kneeling woman is incredibly beautiful. It also puts enough space between the slave and the free male so that the releasing of his rapacity is then likely to require a decision, and is less likely to be simply, reflexively, triggered. This is regarded as being particularly important when the slave is in the presence of a male who is not her Master. The kneeling position, thus, interestingly, can occasionally provide a measure of security, if not a tenuous one, for the slave, tending to reduce, to some extent, the frequency in which, in a culture with such interpersonal proximities, she might be subjected to unauthorized rape. This same tiny measure of protection, of course, puts her in much greater danger from her real Master, for he, observing her, seeing her kneeling beautifully before him, can also delay in his considerations as to her suitable exploitations." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 156
"The main reason why a slave kneels, of course, aside from such subtle and complex considerations, is simply that she is a slave, and that the position, accordingly, is appropriate for her." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, pages 156 - 157
"The observation panel in the door slid back. I saw the head of our warder rise up, behind the slot, as she stepped up, onto her platform. She still had the white, scarf like turban and veil. 'Prisoners, forward,' she said. 'Kneel,' We obeyed. It was toward dusk. It was not time to be fed. 'You, Claudia, slave girl,' she said. 'Kneel behind him and to his left.' A slave girl, in heeling her master, commonly follows on the left. That she follows indicates that she is subservient, that he is master and she slave; that she follows on the left is a cultural matter probably indexed to the fact that most Goreans are right-handed. Her presence on the left, thus, is not likely to interfere with his draw or the movements of his sword arm." Book 23, Renegades of Gor, page 214

| "At the time I did not realize how light had been my discipline
considering the gravity of my offense. I had both spoken without permission,
and broken position without permission. Most simply, I had been displeasing
to a free man."
Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, pages 34 - 35
"I did not break position. I had not been given permission. Perhaps he kept me in position to discipline me. I did not know. I was afraid to break position. I told myself, of course, that this was rational, that he might wake and discover me out of position, or that, perhaps, at times, he was not truly asleep, but was, through half-closed eyes, watching me, to see if I, in the slightest, moved. But in my heart I know I had not broken position because he had not given me permission to do so, because he had not released me from his command. I was terribly afraid of him. I was afraid to break position. I was obeying him." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 35
"For two more hours, I think, I knelt in position. He awakened. Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, pages 35 - 36
"A girl, incidentally, in the position of the Gorean pleasure slave, but who is not being kept in position as a discipline, in which case she remains rigid, is allowed much subtle latitude, which she exploits, without breaking the position. Sometimes, as she becomes animated, she rises a bit from her heels, sometimes her hands move on her thighs, her shoulders and belly move, her head moves, her eyes are live and vital, she speaks and laughs, and, radiantly, every inch, every bit, of her alive, converses lyrically and delightedly." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 36
