Tower
"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, they 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."

Book 3, Priest Kings of Gor, page 47 ~¤~


"The position of the tower slave in most cities, is very similar to that of the pleasure slave. The major diffrence is, that the tower slave, whose duties are primarily, domestic, kneels with her knees in a closed position, where as the pleasure slave, in symbolic recognition of the fuller nature of their bondage, and its most significant aspects, kneels with them in the open position."

Book 18, Blood Brothers of Gor, page 107


"She kept her knees tightly together before the free woman. Had she knelt before a man she would probably have had to keep them open, even if they were brutally kicked apart, a lesson to her, to be more sensitive as to before whom she knelt."
