Sirik

"...the Sirik, a light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters; it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand, the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain, at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets; at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which, when closed about her ankles, lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor; the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer; perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately; this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 42 ~才 " 'Susan,' I said. 'That is your name?' 'Yes, Mistress,' smiled the girl. 'What are these rings?' I asked, indicating the heavy ring in the floor, and the two rings in the wall. 'They are slave rings, Mistress,' said the girl. 'What is their purpose?' I asked, frightened. 'Slaves may be tied or chained to them,' said the girl. 'There are slaves, then, in this place?' I asked. This thought, somehow, alarmed me, terribly. Yet, too, at the same time, I found it inordinately moving and exciting. The thought of myself as a slave and what this might mean suddenly flashed through my mind. For an instant I was so thrilled, so shaken with the significance of this, that I could scarcely stand. 'There are true men in this place,' explained the girl. 'Oh,' I said. I did not understand her remark. Did she not know that true men repudiated their natural sovereignty, forsook their manhood and conformed to prescribed stereotypes? Was she not familiar with the political definitions? I wondered then if there might not be another sort of true men, true men, like true lions, who, innocent of negativistic conditionings, simply fulfilled themselves in the way of nature. Such men. I supposed, of course, could not exist. They, presumably, in the way of nature, would be less likely to pretend that women were the same as themselves than to simply relish them, to keep them, to dominate, own and treasure them, perhaps like horses or dogs, or, I thought, with a shudder, women." Book 11, Kajira of Gor, pages 42 - 43 "Swiftly my master's new girl was locked in the light, gleaming Sirik. The collar clasped her throat; a chain dangled from the collar; her small wrists were locked in the slave bracelets fixed on the dangling chain, and the dangling chain, itself, looped down to a short chain and pair of ankle rings, to which it was gracefully fastened at a sliding ring. The ankle rings were then closed about the lovely ankles of Slave Beads, and locked. She was helpless in Sirik. The bonfinement became her. She was beautiful." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 158 "She wore on her throat a high, gold collar, with, in front, a large golden loop, some two inches in width. Threaded through this loop, was a golden chain. This chain terminated, at each end, with high, golden slave braclets. When the girl stands her hands may fall naturally to her sides, each in its braclet, each braclet attached to the same chain, which passes through the collar loop. It is a very beautiful way of chaining a girl." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 79 ~才

Walking Chains

"The use of a light walking chain tethering the ankles, meant to be worn aborad, accompanying the master. Incidentally, is not uncommon in the regions of the Tahari. A beautifully measured gait is thought, in the Tahri, to be attractive in a woman. There is dispute as to the desirable length of the stride, and the chain may be adjusted accordingly. To me it seems obvious that one must experiment with the given girl. Height and hip structure vary." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 ~才

Slave Hobble

"The slave hobble consists of two rings, one for a wrist, the other for an ankle, joined by about seven inches of chain. In a right-handed girl, such as either Aphris or Elizabeth, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. When the girl kneels, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or free, it is not uncomfortable." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, pages 154 - 155 ~才

Slave Hood

"I saw the wadding of a slave hood thrust deep in Constance's mouth and then, behind her nec, secured in place with two narrow buckled straps. The hood itself was then drawn over her head and buckled shut under her chin. The fellow removed the straps from her throat." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 141 ~才 "It was all part of the hood, the leather ball, the strap attached to it, and the belt, with its double loop, on the outside, held in place by the hood is belt loops, at its opening. Some hoods are little more than sacks, of canvas of leather, with drawstrings. The leather ball was thrust, by a thumb, into my mouth. I then felt its strap, attached at its front, drawn back between my teeth, and buckled behind the back of my neck. The hood itself was then placed over my head and some tucks were taken in it. It was then, by the double loop of the belt, passed twice about my neck. It was snug under my chin, held by the belt. The belt was then buckled shut behind the back of my neck, as the gag strap, inside the hood, had been. A small paddlock, passed through the two rings, the buckle ring and one of the small rings, sewn in the belt, now adjacent to it, seared the arrangement on me. I was now locked in the hood." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 73

Rings and Bracelets

"He clapped his hands sharply twice, and there was a scurrying and tumbling of bodies and the sound of the long chain slipping through the ankle rings. The girls now knelt, each in the position of the Pleasure kajira, in their camisks on the grass, in a line between the two trees to which their chain was fastened. As I passed each she boldly raised her eyes to mine and said, 'Buy Me, Master.' " Book 2, Outlaw of Gor, page 194 "rather they were truly chained and bracleted; she wore the linked ankle rings, the three-linked slave bracelets of a Gorean master." Book 6, Raiders of Gor, page 117

Shackles and Harness

" 'I gather,' said the keeper, 'that you have had some relationship, or something to do, with these two slaves.' 'Yes.' I said. 'Slaves,' said the keeper. 'Yes, Master,' said Publia. 'Yes, Master,' said Claudia. 'You may bid Him farewell,' said the keeper, 'in a manner suitable for slaves,' 'I wish you well, Master,' said Publia, humbly, kneeling before me in her shackles and harness, putting down her head, kissing my feet. 'I wish you well, slave,' I said. 'Claudia then, too, as had Publia, was kneeling before me. She, too, put down her head. 'I, too, wish you well, Master,' she said. She then softly, delicately, kissed my feet. 'I wish you well, slave,' I said." Book 23, Renegades of Gor, page 433

Tethers

"I led her by a wrist tether, her wrists crossed and bound, and the tether running to my hand." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 334 ~才

Northern Yoke

"The northern yoke is either of wood or bone, and is drilled in three places. The one Thistle wore was of wood. It was not heavy. It passed behind her neck at which point one of the drilled holes occurred. The other two holes occurred at the terminations of the yoke. A leather strap is knotted about the girl's wrist, passed through the drilled hole at one end of the yoke, usually that on her left, taken up through the hold behind the neck, looped twice about her neck, threaded back down through the center hole, taken up through the other hole at the end, usually the one at her right, and tied about her right wrist. She is thus fastened in the yoke. From each end of the yoke hung a large sack." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, pages 196 - 197 ~才
