-E- Ear Piercing: used to enhance the appearance of a slave, Free woman would never have their ears pierced. I knelt on the low wooden platform, while one of the leather workers, with a long needle, approached my face. ...I closed my eyes. No anesthetic was used, for I was a slave, but it was not particularly painful....The leather worker then went to the other side of the platform. I felt the second pain, sharp, followed by an unpleasant burning sensation. The leather worker stood up. My ears had been pierced. ....He then fixed two tiny steel rods, with threaded ends, through the wounds. To each end of each of the rods he threaded a tiny steel disk, that the tiny rods might be held in the wounds. the disks and rods would be removed in four days."
Captive of Gor, page 157 " I see, pretty Alyena", I said, "you now wear earrings." "He did it to me," she said. "He pierced my ears with a saddle needle." I did not doubt it, in this out-of-the-way place. The operation, usually, of course, is performed by one of the leather workers. "He put them on me," she said. She lifted her head, and brushed one. I could see she was proud. "They are from the plunder," she said......"Earrings," I said to her, "by Gorean girls, are regarded as the ultimate degradation of a female, appropriate only in sensual slave girls, brazen, shameless wenches, pleased that men have forced them to wear them, and be beautiful." "Do free women on Gor not wear earrings?" asked Alyena. "Never," I said. "Only slave girls?" "Only the most degraded of slave girls," I said." Tribesmen of Gor, page 138 "May I please have my ears pierced, Master?" she begged. "Would you be so degraded a slave?" I asked. Ear piercing, on Gor, is regarding most cities as the most degrading thing that can be done to a girl. It is commonly done only to the lowest of pleasure slaves. Compared to it, fixing a ring in a girl’s nose is regarded lightly. Indeed, among the Tuchuks, one of the Wagon Peoples of Gor, even free women wear nose rings. These matters are cultural, of course. "Yes, Master," she said. "Why?" I asked. "That I might be kept always a slave," she said. "I see," I said. A girl with pierced ears on Gor might as well, for all practical purposes, give up even the slimmest of hopes, should she entertain them, of freedom. What Gorean man, seeing a woman with pierced ears, could treat her as, or accept her as, anything but a slave? Explorers of Gor, page 92 I thought I would, before giving her to such a Tavernier, have her ears pierced. This would, in effect, guarantee that she would remain always only a slave on Gor. Gorean men find pierced ears, as do many men of Earth, stimulatory. To the Gorean such ear-piercing speaks blatantly of bondage. Penetration of a woman's flesh is publicly symbolized, in her very body; the wounds inflicted on her were intended and deliberate; and her body has now been prepared to bear, fastened in its very flesh, barbaric ornamentation. These things all speak to the Gorean of the female slave. In a woman who is truly free such things, of course, would be unthinkable. Slave girls, of course, once they have begun to learn their collars, and once they have begun to learn that they are truly slaves, and what it might mean, become very vain and proud over the piercing of their ears. They know that it makes them more attractive to men, and significantly so, and, too, they relish being able, with earrings, to make themselves even more beautiful and exciting. Slave girls tend to be very proud and happy in their sexuality. This type of pleasure, commonly denied to the free woman, is probably an additional reason why they tend to hate their helplessly imbonded sisters. Blood Brothers of Gor, page 48 Surely these things are symbolic as well as beautiful. The girl’s lovely ears have been literally pierced; the penetrability of her sweet flesh is thus brazenly advertised upon her very body, a proclamation of her ready vulnerability, in incitement to male rapine. And when she wears the earrings, he can see the metal disappearing in the softness of her ear, literally fixed within it. Her flesh is doubly penetrated, her softness about the intruding metal, before his very eyes. The wire loop, too, or rod, when it emerges from the ear and, by one device or another, fastens the ring upon her, may suggest her bondage. Too, if the ring itself is closed, perhaps it suggests her susceptibility to the locked shackle, say, a wrist ring or slave bracelet; would there not, in the two rings, be one, so to speak, for each wrist? It is little wonder that Gorean free women never pierce their ears; it is little wonder that, in the beginning, it was only the lowest and most exciting of pleasure slaves who had their ears pierced; now, however, it is not uncommon on Gor for almost any pleasure slave to have her ears pierced; the custom of piercing the ears of a slave has now become relatively widespread; it has been done in Turia, of course, for generations. Too, of course, the ring is an obvious ornament. The girl placed in it has thus been ornamented. Ornamentation is not inappropriate in a slave. Lastly, the ring is beautiful. Thus it makes the slave more beautiful.

Girl of Gor, , page 73 eggs, white grunt: Tiny eggs served as a delicacy during banquets or feasts. "… and in a tiny golden cup, with a small golden spoon, the clustered, black, tiny eggs of the white grunt. The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served by Pamela and Bonnie."

Magicians of Gor, page 428 en: first: Outlaw of Gor, page 178 energy bulb: dome like, wire-protected bulbs emitting a clear soft light for years without replacement. They were invented by the Caste of Builders more than a century before the time of Tarl Cabot: The room in which I lay was large, perhaps forty feet
square, and the sleeping platform lay at one end of the room but not touching the wall. The walls were of plain
dark stone with energy bulbs fixed in them; the furnishings seemed to consist mostly of two or three
large chests against one wall. Priest-Kings of Gor, page 33 En'Kara - (lit.

We might then begin by supposing
that the combination of blue and red signifies an Eta." Slave Girl of Gor,
