Positions of the Kajirae
Bara:
A slave lays on her belly and presses her head to the left, crosses her ankles, crosses and places her wrists in the small of her back, and waits motionless to be bound; common binding position.
Belly:
In the most common form, a slave lays on her belly, parts her legs, shoulder-width apart, laying her arms by her sides, palms up, and her forehead to the ground then crawls to Master's feet, continuing to remain on her belly.
Bracelets:
A slave kneels, thighs spread wide, and her back arched, and extends her arms before her, wrists together in preparation for being bound, and head held high, eyes lowered in submission.
Coffle:
The slave kneels normally with her thighs parted and lifts either the left or right wrist outwards, depending on the type of coffle, so that the wrist can be attached to a wrist ring within the chain.
Crawl:
A slave drops to all fours, her forearms flat on the ground, and lowers her head so that it is slightly above, but not touching, the ground, and raising her ass high; she then crawls to the Master placing her head next to His boots.
Display Position:
The slave stands with her feet about shoulders width apart, fingers laced behind the neck with elbows back, head up and eyes lowered.
Female Submission:
(Sometimes referred to as the ko-lar or collaring position.)
A slave kneels at her Master's feet, and leans her body back, sitting on her heels, extends her arms upward, and crosses her wrists, and her head beneath them lowered in submission.
Hair:
When a girl hears the command, "Hair," she must kneel, lowering her head so that her hair may be used for a variety of purposes, such as a wiping cloth or napkin, by means of which the Free Person, male or female, may remove stains, grease or crumbs from his or her hands. Similarly, a girl's hair, if it is sufficiently long, may be used for the washing and cleaning of floors. In this command, she is usually on her hands and kneels, naked and chained. The hair is used in conjunction with soap and water, being dipped in the appropriate buckets, wrung out and rinsed, and so on. However, hair is not used for the application of such things as waxes or varnishes because of the difficulty of removing such substances, and possibly necessitating the shearing of her hair and thus lowering her market value.
Heel:
A slave kneels just behind her Master's left foot; as He moves, a slave remains just behind His foot, but never come in contact with it at any time.
High-Harness:
This position is used primarily with display slaves. The slave holds her head very high, exposing her neck.
Leading position:
A slave approaches her Master's side and bends at the waist; the Master then grasps her by her hair so He may lead as if leashed by her own hair.
Lesha:
A slave kneels with her back to her Master, her thighs spread wide, arching her back and crossing her wrists in the small of her back, turning her head to the left, eyes lowered in submission, and her lips slightly parted and awaits the leash.
Nadu:
A slave kneels with her thighs spread wide, arching her back slightly, lifting her breasts high, head held high and eyes lowered in submission, her hands flutter lay palms-up on her thighs. This is the position of a pleasure silk.
Nestle:
When a slave is commanded to nestle she fits herself against the master's side, nestling in the crook of his arm.
Obeisance:
(often called "obedience" on many pages and/or "submission" but is correctly referred in the books as "obeisance.")
bend forward, placing the palms of your hands and your forehead to the ground. Then lift your head slight, moving forward slight, while keeping hold of this position, til your face is on the master's feet.
Run:
A slave runs toward her goal, taking small rapid steps, her legs almost straight, her feet barely leaving the ground. As she runs, her back is straight, her head is turned to the left, her arms are at her sides with palms facing outward. Upon reaching her goal, she drops gracefully to her knees and assumes the position of Nadu.
She-quadruped:
Though this is not technically a position, it is definitely a command most commonly used for punishment or simply to remind the slave that she is, in fact, only an animal. When commanded to assume she-quadruped, the slave stays on all fours, like an animal, and cannot speak or reach for things with her hands. She is kept as only a mute pet. Sometimes the slave is even taught tricks she must learn without the help of verbal clues.
In this form of slavery, which is commonly used for disciplinary purposes, or for the amusement of the Master, the woman is not permitted to arise from all fours; similarly she is not permitted human speech, though she may signify needs and desires by such means as cringing, and moaning and whimpering. Not permitted the use of her hands, save as a means of locomotion, she must also eat and drink from pans set on the floor, or, sometimes to satisfy her thirst, she must lap the water permitted to her from puddles or lick pillages from the tiles; too, it is no uncommon to chain her near her master's feet, while he dines, that he may, if he wishes, throw her scraps of food. She will also be taught tricks, through which paces she may be put for the entertainment of her master's guests, such things as begging, lying down, rolling over, and fetching his sandals in her teeth. And, needless to say, when her master wishes to use her sexually, it will be a position common to the she-quadruped.
She-sleen:
A slave gets down on her knees and elbows, clasping her hands over her head, and raising her hips; she then parts her thighs and arches her back, forcing her hips even higher, exposing herself completely to Master's view; she readies herself to be beaten or taken sexually like an animal, depending on her Master's whim.
Slave Lips:
A girl who receives the command, "Slave Lips," must form her mouth for kissing. She then, commonly, is not permitted to break this lip position until either she kisses or is kissed. The command which commonly follows the "Slave-lips" is "Please me.".
Slaver's Kiss:
A slave drops to her hands and knees, her forehead to the ground, her hips raised high. She spreads her thighs wide, exposing her slave heat for her Master's pleasure.
Slave Rape:
There are various ways this position may be done, but the standard is that the girl lays motionless and supine in preparation to be raped.
Submission:
(see Female Submission and Obeisance)
Sula:
A slave lays flat on the ground on her back, her feet spread shoulder width apart. She places her wrists above her head and crosses them. Her eyes remain lowered in submission as she silently awaits her Master's pleasure.Tower:
A slave kneels with her knees pressed modestly together, with her back straight, resting her ass upon her heels, eyes are lowered, and her palms rest upon her thighs, palms up. (The Gorean Free Woman kneels in this manner but with her palms face down.) It should be noted that a slave girl knees in this position before a free woman.
Walk:
When this command is given to a slave, the slave then turns gracefully, and walks quietly across the room or camp, so eloquently that her feet hardly seem to leave the ground, her hips sway sensually, and her body is erect and proud. When she reaches her goal she halts and stands, her body erect and her shoulders back, her chest thrust forward and her belly sucked inward. The slave then turns her hips out a bit, with her hands at her sides, and lifts and points one foot downward; her chin is held high and her eyes are lowered.
Whipping position:
A slave quickly drops to her knees and raises her hips, she then places her head to the ground and crosses her arms across her belly., waiting motionless, ready to accept her Master's punishment. Slaves with long hair will pull their hair from their backs so as to ensure their backs are fully exposed for the whip.
I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip.
