"Elizabeth Cardwell took the meat in her two hands, confined before her by slave braclets and the chain of the sirik, and bending her head, her hair falling forward, ate it.
She, a slave, had accepted meat from the hand of Kamchak of the Tuchuks.
She belonged to him now."

"A beautiful slave girl, of course, has no official or legal power. Yet it would be naive to underesteimate the weight and influence of her beauty, her vulnerablity and service. Her display and submission behaviors, and performances, surely influence to a considerable extent the treatment she is likely to receive at the hands of a master. The male is universal among primates. It is, thus, presumably genetically determined, or a function of genetic determinations. In the end, of course, the slave girl is ultimately without power. It is the master, in the end, who will decide what is to be done with her."

"In the eyes of Gorean law you are an animal. You have no name in your own right. You may be collared and leashed. You may be bought and sold, whipped, treated as the master pleases, disposed of as he sees fit. You have no rights whatsoever. Legally you have no more status than a tarsk or vulo. Legally, literally, you are an animal."

"It is not uncommon for masters to pride themselves on the depth which they know their slave girls; this depth is far greater in my opinion then that with which the average husband of Earth knows his wife; the slave girl is not simply someone with whom the man lives; she is very special to him; she is a treasured possession; he owns her; he wants to know, profoundly and deeply, the background, history, the mind, the intelligence, the appetites, the nature and the dispositions of his lovely article of property; this knowledge, of course, puts her more at his mercy; by making it possible for him to manipulate her feelings, exploit weaknesses, drop asides, etc., she in the helpless condition of slavery, it gives him greater power over her. For example, it is common for a master to force his slave to speak at length and in detail to him of the secret sides of her nature, explaining and elaborating on her fantasies; if she is literate, she may be forced, naked, collared, on her knees at a small table, sometimes with her ankles shackled, to write them out; this supplies the master, of course, with abundant materials which may be used by him to make her further and more helplessly his; sometimes the girl attempts to deceive the master; it is not difficult to detect inauthenticity in such matters; she is then beaten; too, she may at times be ordered to invent fantasies, sometimes of a certain type, instructive; these intellectual, emotional exercises, performed by the girl under a condition of slavery, particularly if coupled with enforced exercise regime, posings under male surveillance, and such, can do much to sensitize her to her collar; they awaken her body and, of equal importance for the Gorean, thought not for the Earthling, who sees sex with the perception of a hippopotamus, as a matter of body rubbings, her fantastic imagination and mind; she becomes curious, soon, about the deeper implications of what she is, a mear article of her master's property; then, with authority, with assurance and power, to the depth and height of her mind and imagination she is taught; the slave girl experiences a paradox of freedom; the free woman is physically free, but miserable, fighting to be what she is not; the slave in bondage, even to the collar, sometimes chains, is given no choice by men but to be totally and precisely what she is, slave...."

" 'Intelligent bodies,' he said, 'are far more responsive. Your very intelligence makes you the more helplessly a slave.' I clutched him. 'It pleases me to own intelligent girls, such as you,' he said.
'Intelligent girls make excellent slaves,' he observed."

"The men of Gor, like beasts and loving gods, subject the women they own to their total mastery. It pleases them to do so. They are men. Should I be distressed, or displeased? Not truly, for I am a woman. I admire their honesty, that they scorn to conceal the sovereignty which is theirs by nature. They do not play games. They put me to their feet, where I belong. Should I be displeased? No, for I am a woman. Only where there are true men can there be true women. Whatever be the reasons, whether genetic or cultural, or both, the men of Gor are different from those of Earth. They have remained men, perhaps simply because it has pleased them to do so. This also pleases me becasuse only where there are true men can there be true women."

"Slaves generally have some value, at least to the master, even if not much. They, at least, can be bought and sold. Free women, on the other hand, being priceless, have for most practical purposes no value whatsoever."

"...I saw several girls, here and their, clad Kajir; they were magnificent; they walked with the true brazen insolence of the slave girl, the wench who knows that she is owned, whom men have found beatiful enough, and exciting enough, to collar. The dour women of the Wagon Peoples, I saw, looked on these girls with envy and hatred, sometimes striking them with sticks if they should approach too closely the cooking pots and attempt to steal a piece of meat."

" Look at me, Slave,' I said.
She looked up, tears in her eyes. 'I will speak to you kindly for a moment,' I said. 'Listen carefully, for they may be the last kind words you will hear for a long time.'
She regarded me, the guard's hand in her hair.
'You are a slave,' I said. 'You are owned. You are a female. You will be forced to be a woman. If you were free, and Gorean, you might be permitted by men to remain as you are, but you are neither Gorean nor free."

" 'Slavery is not a mere condition; it is a kind of life. The woman is not simply a slave when you seize her and throw her to your feet. She is a slave, too, before this, and after this, subject to your will, and knowing it. There is a wholeness, a fullnes, a beauty in a woman's being a slave...' "

Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 312 ~才

" 'A slave girl is not a slave only, you see, when she is commanded or taken in the arms of the master. She is a slave wholly, fully, all the time. It is what she is. I think it is this wholeness, this fullness, this beauty, this totality of bondage which you men do not understand. It is hard to speak of it. When a girl is a slave all of her is a slave. It is what she is. Oh, I could speak to you of a woman's need for emotional fulfillment, security, exceitement, romance, discipline; her need to relate, to be happy, to a strong male figure, one before whom she knows herself, truly, is the intimacy of herself to be a female, and his; the bankruptcy of egoism, ambition and greed for many women; their need to love, their desire to please and be of service; their intrinsic yearning to submit to an uncompromising, dominant organism; their deep-seated desire to be found so beautiful and attractive that men will want them, and give them everything, but are not all these things only futile words peripheral to the speechless emotional reality felt by the girl when she kneels before the master, and he then touch her as his own?'

" 'There is something about being owned, and belonging to another, which is very meaningful to a woman,' she said. 'It is also, in a way that is hard to make clear to a man, profoundly satisfying.' "

" 'Are you truly slave, Mira?' asked the girl.
Mira cast a glance at me. 'You may respond,' I told her.
'Yes, I am a slave,' said Mira, 'totally.'
'What was he doing to you, before?' ask the girl.
'You watched?' asked Mira.
'Yes,' said the girl.
'He was enjoying me and using me as what I am, a slave,' she said. '
Are you embarrassed?' asked the girl.
'No,' said Mira. 'A slave is not permitted modesty.'
'You seemed ecstatic with pleasure, overcome with gratitude and joy,' said the girl.
'It was my yielding.' she said.
'Need you have yielded like that?' asked the girl.
'Yes,' said Mira, 'The slave is given no alternative other than to yield to the master fully.'
'But you would want to yield like that, wouldn't you?' asked the girl.
'Yes' said Mira.
'Then the slave is forced to do what she, in her most secret heart, most deeply desires to do,' said the girl.
'Yes,' said Mira. 'But you must understand that a slave's lot is not an easy one. We are often worked long and hard.'
'But is there not a pleasure in such a service?' asked the girl.
'At one time I would not have thought so,' said Mira, 'but I know now, now that I am an owned slave, that there is.' "

" 'And what if you are not?' asked the girl.
'But we are,' laughed Mira. 'The masters see to it.'
'But what if you rebel?' asked the girl.
"Only stupid girls rebel,' said Mira, 'and they are soon taught its uselessness.'
'But can you not even protest?' adked the girl.
'We may protest, of course, if the masters see fit to permit it,' said Mira. 'but then, when we're finished, our discipline is reimposed upon us, perhaps even more severely.'
'Discipline?' breathed the girl.
'Yes,' said Mira, 'the slave girl is subject to discipline and punishment. She is owned, like a sleen or tarsk is owned. She is owned, literally owned. You must understand that in its full sense. Accordingly, anything may be done with her that the master wishes. She may even be slain, if the master wishes.'
'Then the slave girl is totally helpless,' said the girl. 'she is totally at the mercy of the master.'
'Yes,' said Mira.
'I would like that,' said the girl.
'Oh?' asked Mira.
'Are you happy?' asked the girl.
'Yes, incredibly so.'
'Do you not desire freedom?' asked the girl.
'The only freedom I would now desire,' said Mira, 'would be the freedom to be totally a slave.'"

" 'You may freely enter into the state of bondage,' I told her, 'but you may not freely leave it. This thing is, once it is done to you, is, on your part, irreversible. It is not then within your power to break, alter or amend it in any way. You will then, you see, no longer be a free person, but only a slave.'
'I understand,' she said. She then turned to the young man, 'I am ready,' she said, 'Make me a slave.' "

"The institution of capture is universal, to the best of my knowledge, on gor; there is no city which does not honor it, provided the females captured are those of the enemy, either their free women or their slaves it is often a young tarsman's first mission, the securing of a female, preferebly free, from an enemy city, to enslave, that his sisters may be relieved of the burden of serving him; indeed, his sisters often encourage him to be prompt in the capture of an enemy wench that their own tasks may be made the lighter; when the young tarnsman, if successful, returns home from his capture flight, a girl bound naked across the saddle, his sisters welcome her with delight, and with great enthusiasm prepare her for the Feast of Collaring."

"I took from my tunic the key my father had given me, the key to Sana's collar. I reached to the lock behind her neck, inserted the key and turned it, springing open the mechanism. I jerked the collar away from her throat and threw it and the key from the tarn's back and watched them fly downward in a log graceful parabola.
'You are free,' I said
'And we are going to Thentis.'
She sat before me, stunned, her hands unbelievingly at her throat.
'Why?' she asked. 'Why?'
What could I tell her? That I had come from another world, that I was determind that all the ways of Gor should not be mine, or that I had cared for her, somehow, so helpless in her condition--that she had moved me to regard her not as an instrumentality of mine or of the Council, but as a girl, young, rich with like, not to be sacrificed in the games of statecraft? 'I have my reasons for freeing you,' I said, 'but I am not sure that you would understand them,' and I added, under my breath, to myself, that I was not altogether sure I understood them myself.
'My father,' she said, 'and my brothers will reward you.'
'No,' I said.
'If you wish, they are bound in honor to grant me to you, without bride price.'
'The ride to Thentis will be long,' I said.
She replied proudly, 'My bride price would be a hundred tarns.'
I whistled to myself - my exslave would have come high. On a Warrior's allowance I would not have been able to afford her.
'If you wish to land,' said Sana, apparently determined to see me compensated in some fashion, 'I will serve your pleasure.'
It occured to me that there was at least one reply which she, bred in the honor codes of Gor, should understand, one reply that should silence her. 'Would you diminish the worth of my gift to you?' I asked, feigning anger.
She thought for a moment then gently kissed me on the lips. 'No, Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba,' she said, 'but you well know that I could do nothing that worth of your gift to me. Tarl Cabot, I care for you.'
I realized that she had spoken to me as a free woman, using my name."

"There is no marriage as we know it on Gor, but there is the institution of Free Companionship, which is its nearest correspondent. Surprisingly enough, a woman who is bought from her parents, for tarns of gold, is regarded as a Free Companion, even though she may not have been insulted in the transaction. More commendably, a free woman may herself, of her own free will, agree to be such a companion. And it is not unusual for a Master to free one of his slave girls in order that she may share the full privileges of Free Companionship. One may have, at a given time, an indefinite number of slaves, but only one Free Companion. Such relationships are not entered into lightly, and they are normally sundered only by death."

Book 2, Outlaw of Gor, page 54 ~才

"She laughed. It was true. Gorean men, on the whole, do not free slaves. The freeing of a girl is almost unheard of. This makes sense. They are not free women. They are belongings, valuables, slaves, treasures. Who discards precious possessions, who surrenders treasures? If the slave girl were worth less perhaps she would be freed more. She is too marvelous to free; and if she is not marvelous, she can be slain. Too, what man who has known the glory and joy of a girl at his feet is likely to wish to exchange that for the inconvenience and bother of a free woman? No, slave girls, for all practical purposes, are not freed. They will remain in one collar or another. Men will have it that way."

"I had broken her swiftly to my collar. She had been excellent in a man's arms. Months later I had freed her. What a fool I had been. It was not a mistake I would make again with a woman. Keep them slaves. They belong in collars."
