Positions for Slaves
The following are taken from the Books of Gor written by John Norman.
Bara

"Bara, Kaijra!" he said.  She rolled over quickly  to her stomach, placing her wrists behind her, crossed  and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound.
(Exploers of Gor page 76 and 77)

The slave simply lays on her stomach stretching in a straight line, gently bringing her wrists; which are crossed at the wrists to lay upon the small of her back, whilst at the same time she crosses her ankles, her cheek usually turns pressing to the ground.
Standard Binding Postion

"Standard binding position", he said.  I was prone.  When a girl  is prone the standard  binding position is to cross the wrists behind the back and cross the ankles.
(Slave Girl of Gor page 125)
(Dancer of Gor page 415)

This position is similar to Bara, please refer to it for the elements.

Belly

"Stop", he said. "To your belly".  Then I was on my belly, on the tiles, my hands at the sides of my head, prone, before his chair.
(Kajira of Gor page 427)

"Belly", I said to Feiqa.  Immediately Feiqa, trembling, went to  her belly on the stained, sooted stones  near the fire.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 19)

The slave in this position lays her body upon her belly to the floor, her right cheek is pressed to the stones whilst her arms are brought straight against her sides with her palms facing upward.  Her legs are parted widely.  The slave usually remains in this position until released.
Bracelets

"Bracelets!" snapped Ho-Sorl suddenly and Phyllis flung her wrists behind her back, threw back her head and turned it to one side, the instantaneous response of a trained girl.
(Assassin of Gor page 214)

"Bracelets", he snapped.  She put her head in the air and placed  her hands behind her back.
(Hunters of Gor page 146)

"Stand", He snapped.  She did so.  "Bracelets", he said.  She looked at Him with hatred.
(Hunters of Gor page 165)

"
Bracelets!" I said in Gorean harshly.  The girl snapped into position, hands behind the small of her back, head lifted, chin up, turned to the left.
(Tribesmen of Gor page 81)

In this position the slave is often placed in slave bracelets or chains.  The slave kneels normally in the Nadu position, her thighs are parted as she rests on the back of her heels, her wrists are crossed behind her back as she turns her head lifting it to the left so that the Master may attatch a leash if He so wishes.
Blanket

"I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket over her, covering her completely.  When a blanket, or cloak, or covering of any sort ,is thrown over a slave  like this she may not speak or rise.  She must remain as she is, silent, until the master, or some freeman, lifts the  covering away".
(Explorers of Gor page 94)

In this position the slave  normally kneels (not specified)  and a covering  is placed over her, the slave remains completely silent and without movement.  She will normally act as if she were asleep until such a time as she is released.
Capture

"On your back", he said, "knees raised, kneel on the floor".  I then layed  before him, in a standard  supine capture position.
(Kajira of Gor page 422)

The slave in this position lays on her back, she will bring her knees upward, heels touching her bottom.  In this position the slave waits to be bound.
Caress of the Master's Steel

The Master uses his sword or spear and places the blade between the slave's legs, raises it and moves it upward, brushing it against the interior of her thigh.  Alternatively the Master will use the blade to raise the slave's silks so that he may 'consider her'.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 200)

In this position the slave is normally standing, she will remain still, sometimes in the display position as the Master places His sword or spear between her legs to lift her garment so that He may inspect her beauty at His will.
Collaring

"Submit", I told her.  She knelt before me, back on her heels, arms extended, head down, between her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding.
(Tarnsmen of Gor page 66)
(Tarnsmen of Gor page 93 and 94)
(Explorers of Gor page 72)


"Assume the posture of female submission", I told her.  She did so, kneeling back on her heels, her arms extended, wrists crossed, her head between them, down.  She was weeping.
(Tribesmen of Gor page 359)

In this positions the slave kneels before her Master, her bottom resting on her heels with her thighs parted widely as she raises her arms above her head to cross her wrists, she then lowers her head to settle between her uplifted arms. 
Crawl

"Crawl", I aid, in Gorean.  The girl slipped to her belly, and, as a slave girl, crawled to my feet.  She put her lips to my foot; I felt her hair over it.
(Tribesmen of Gor page 72)

In this position the slave lowers to her hands and knees and begins to slowly move much like a cat to the Master's feet.  Her head is normally lowered and knees parted to allow graceful movements.
Display

The slave stands with her feet a bit wider than the width of her shoulders, she then places her hands behind her neck with her fingers interlaced, her head is up but her eyes are lowered in submission, from this position her master may view her beauty or allow others to view her beauty.  Alternatively her arms may be spread above her head and tied or chained to a wall or crossbeam, this position lifts the line of the breasts.
(Players of Gor page 137)

In this position the slave will stand straight, her feet will be flat to the floor parted about the width of her shoulders,she then lifts her arms to lace her fingers; once laced her arms will drop to rest her hands to the nape of her neck.  The slave's eyes are lowered to the floor but her head is held high, she arches her back allowing her breasts to push forward to be seem more clearly.
Gorean Love Bow

The girl is thrown over some object on her back her wrists are bound and then dragged over and above her head, elbows bent and under the object on which she lays, her knees are then bent and her wrists are tied to her ankles.
(Marauders of Gor page 306)

In this position the slave is placed on her back over an object such as a table or stool, she is bound at the wrists, then her arms are moved over her head to beneath her body to be bound together at the ankles, her back is arched upward much like a crab.  Her head is lowered as she waits in this position offering her beauty to the Master.  Incidentally this position is painful if held for more than 5 ehn. (minutes).
Hair

I held my left hand open, at my waist.  She stiffened, and looked at me, angrily.  I opened and closed my left hand once.  I saw her training in Goeran customs had been thorough.  But she never thought that such a gesture would be used on her.  She came beside me, and a bit behind me, and, crouching, put her head down, deeply.  I fastened my hand in her hair.  She winced.  Women are helpless in this postition.
(Beasts of Gor page 409)
  
In this position a slave will bend at the waist, her hands will be at the small of her back, crossed at the wrists.  Her head will be lowered allowing her hair to fall forward, her body will be at the Master's waist, so that He may grip her hair in His hand leaving her unable to moveexcept for the direction of His wishes.
High Harness

She tips her face up as high as she can and lets her head fall back to offer  the Master her throat, it does not matter if sheis kneeling or standing.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 308 and 309)

In this position the slave regardless of standing or kneeling, she lifts her head high arching it backwards allowing her throat to be bared to the Master.
Heel

The Folkbeard turned about and, one arm about Pudding, the other about Gunnhild, started from the dock.  Hilda followed him, to his left.  "She heels nicely", said Otter.  The Folkbeard stopped.  Hilda's face burned red with fury, but she kept her head high.  Pet sleen are taught to kneel; so, too, sometimes, are bond-maids; I was familiar with this sort of thing, of course; in the south it was quite common for slave girls; in various fashions in various cities, to heel to their masters.  Hilda, of course, was a free woman.  For her to heel was an incredible humiliation.  The Folkbeard started off again, and again stopped.  Again, Hilda followed him as before.  "She is heeling!", laughed Ottar.

(Mauraders of Gpr page 123)

In this position the slave will place her body behind the Master, the slave is normally about twp paces behind Him and her eyes are lowered to His heels, her head is held high, and she will move with His steps, stopping and going with His wishes.  The slave will basically mock her Master's footsteps by watching His heels allowing her to follow.
Kneel to the Coffle

"Kneel to be coffled", said one of the men.  The girls knelt, closely, one behind the other, there were six wrist rings on the chain he carried.  He placed the girl who have been whipped by Lady Sabina first in the coffle line.  "left wrist coffle", he said.  They lifted their left wrists frightened.  Interestingly, the man snapping the wrist rings on the girls' left wrists did not put the first girl in the first ring, but the second.  When the four maids were coffled there was, thus, an empty wrist ring both at the head and rear of the line.  "Stand, Slaves", said the man.  "Lower chain".  The  girls stood.  Then, ordered, they lowered their wrists.  They were then in a line, standing, coffled.
(Slave Girl of Gor page 127)

In this position a slave will kneel closely with other slaves in a line, she will then lift her left wrist to be attached to the ring.  The ring is attached to the chain and when the slave is bound within the ring she is secured, much like those of the chain gangs of Earth.
Leading

In a moment I had left the building, pulling the captive behind me, her head down at my waist, in leading position.
(Mauraders of Gor page 123)
(Fighting Slave of Gor page 209)
(Players of Gor page 202)


In this position the slave will stand behind the Master and bend at the waist, her head will be lowered to His waist so that her hair may be grasped, her wrists will be crossed placed at the small of her back.
Leasha

This position is used to attach a leash  She kneel, her back to the Master, with her chin lifted and head turned to the left, offering her collar for leashing.  Her wrists behind her back, ready, if needed, to be snapped into slave bracelets.  "Leasha", and she looked at him angrily, then lifted her chin.  He snapped his leash on her collar
(Assassins of Gor page 214 and 215)

"Leasha", snapped the second officer to the blonde girl.  She spun from facing him, and lifted her chin, turning her head to the left, placing her wrists behind her, as though for snapping then into slave bracelets
(Explorers of Gor page 76)

In this position the slave will kneel before the Master, her back straight with wrists crossed and placed at the small of her back so as slave bracelets may be attached if wished.  She then lifts her head high turning her face to the left to allow the leash to be attacked..
Nadu

"Position", I snapped.  Swiftly she knelt again, as she had been commanded earlier.  "You obey with the alacrity of a slave girl", I observed.  "If I do not", she said, "I could be punished as one , could I not?"  "Yes", I said, "and would be".  I walked about her, examining her, she kept her back very straight, and her head up.  I was then again before her.  I noted that the palm of her hands, so soft, so vulnerable, had turned on her thighs, so that they faced up.  Among slave girls this is a common way of signalling need, helplessness, a desire to please.
(Vagabonds of Gor page 209)

She kneels before her Master, her head held high, eyes downcast, knees spread wide open, shoulders back keeping her back straight, breasts thrust outward.  Her hands lie on her thighs, palms facing upward.  Although her hands may be crossed behind her as in the custom of Thentis.
(Explorers of Gor page 77)

In this position the slave will kneel facing the Master, she parts her thighs widely as her back straightens, slightly arching to push her breasts outward, her hands are placed upon her thighs with palms facing upward.  She then lifts her chin high leaving her eyes downward.  
Nestle

When this command is given she snuggles obediently in the crook of the Master's left  arm
(Explorers of Gor page 279)

In this position when commanded will move to snuggle in the crook of the Master's left arm, her head is often resting on His shoulder facing His chest.
Obeisance

"There are many ways to perform obeisance" I said.  "I am a free woman", she said, "I know none of them".  "I shall instruct you breifly in three", I said.  "First kneel before me, back on your heels, yes, with your knees wide, wider, your hands on your thighs, your back straight, your breasts out, good, your bellyin, good, and now lower your head in deference, in submission".  "Now that", I said, "may not be exactly a form of obeisance, for authorities do not all agree, but for our purposes we shall count it as one.  It is, at any rate, a beautiful position, and it is, certainly, a common position, and it is, certainly, a common position of slave submission.  "Now", I said, "and this is clearly a form of obeisance, bend forward and put your head on the mat, the palms of your hands on the mat.  Good.  Now lift your head a little and come forward, substantially keeping the position.  Forward a little more".  "But then my face will be at your feet", she said, "my lips will be over them!"  "Yes", I said, "Good, now, put your head down and lick and kiss my feet".  "I am a free Woman!" she said.  "You are a woman", I said, "now softly lingeringly, and lovingly, Good".  "I am not a slave", she said.  "All woman are slaves", I said.  "Imagine what this would be like if you were truly a collared slave".  She gasped.  "Now," I said, "for the third form of obeisance.  You may belly to me".  "I do not understand", she whispered  "There are various forms of bellying", I said, and bellying may be suitably and pleasing combined with other forms of floor movements, approaching the Master on all fours, turning to your sides and back, withering before him, and so on.  We will take a very simple variation, suitable for an ignorant free female who has not yet begun to discover the depths of her sexuallity".  She looked up at me.  "On your belly", I said.  She backed off a bit, and went to her belly.  Her hair was before her face, as she now was on her belly before me looking up at me. "Now inch forward", I said, "remaining low on your belly, and when you reach my feet, once again, as before, lifting your head a little, tenderly and humbily, and beautifully, as though you were a slave, lick and kiss them.  Good.  Good.  Now take my foot and gently place it on your head. Very good.  Now place it again on the Mat, and kiss it again.  Good.  Now you may belly back a little, humbily.  I have not yet given you permission to rise of course.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 409 and 410)

She goes to the floor, laying upon her stomach, face down before the Master.  She turns her head and places her cheek against his feet, kissing them lightly in a gesture of love and submission.
(Rogue of Gor page 299)

This position has three varieties to it:
a)  The slave will kneel in Nadu position with her knees widely spread, she will then place her hands on her thighs and bend forward placing her lips to the Master's boots and gently kiss and lick them.
    b)  The slave will kneel in the Nadu position with her thighs parted widely, she will then place her palms to the floor and lower her head to also touch it.  She will then slowly lift her head a little to inch forward to place her lips to the Master's boots to kiss and lick them.
   c)  The slave will lay upon her belly to the floor with her face down.  She will then slowly inch forward and place her lips to the Master's boots, slowly licking and kissing them before lifting His foot to place it upon her head.  She then will replace His boot to the floor before moving once again to her belly.
Prostrate

"I knelt before the guest, putting the palms of my hands on the floor and my head to the tiles.
(Kajira of Gor page  157)

In this position the slave will lower her knees to the floor, parting her thighs widely.  Bending forward she places her palms to the causing her head and breasts to touch the flooring.
Run

I was amused, for she had run as a slave  girl is sometimes taught to run, with short rapid steps, her legs almost straight, her feet scarcely leaving the ground, back straight, head turned to the left, arms at her sides, palms out at a forty-five degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true run.
(Assassin of Gor page45)

In this position the slave stands straight with her head held high, her arms will be to her sides and moving in small steps forward quickly
Slaver's Caress

By this time Elizabeth had returned with the whip and bracelets, and had handed them to Kamchak  /she then went to stand by the left, read wheel of the wagon.  There Kamchak braceleted her wrists high over her head about the rim and over one of the spokes.  She faced the wheel.  "There is no escape from the wagons", he said, "saying you went to fetch water".  "I was afraid", said Elizabeth.  "Do you know who fears to tell the truth?" he asked.  "No", she said.  "A slave", said Kamchak.  He ripped the larl pelt from her and I gathered that she would wear the garment no longer.  She stood well, her eyes closed, her right cheek  pressed against the leather rim of the wheel.  Tears burst from between the tightly lids of her eyes but she was superb, restraining her cries. She had still uttered no sound when Kamchak, satisfied, had released her, but fastening her wrists before her body with the bracelets.  She stood trembling, her head down.  Then he took her braceleted hands with one hand raised her hands over her head.  She stood so, her knees slightly flexed, head down.  "You think", said Kamchak to me, "she is only a girl".  I said nothing.  "You are a fool, Tarl Cabot", he said.  I did not respond.  Coiled, in his right hand, Kamchak still held the slave whip.  "Slave", said Kamchak.  Elizabeth looked at him.  "Do you wish to serve men?" he asked.  Tears in her eyes she shook her head, no, no, no.  Then her head fell against her breast.  "Observe", said Kamchak to me.  Then, before I could realize what he intended, he had subjected Miss Caldwell to what, amongslavers, is known as the Whip Caress.  Ideally it is done, as Kamchak had, unexpectedly, taking the girl unawares. Elizabeth suddenly cried out throwing her head to one side.  I observed to my amazement the sudden, involuntary, uncontrollable response to the touch.  The Whip Caress is commonly used among Slavers to force a girl to betray herself.
(Nomads of Gor page 168 and 169)

In this position a slave is secured to whatever fixture the Master wishes, then she is allowed to feel the whip against her flesh.  This is supposed to make a slave find her true nature and betray herself to submit.
Slave Lips

When this command is given, she turns her head to the Master, her lips pursed in a sensual kissing position.  She remains motionless, her lips thusly puckered, and may not move until granted the kiss .
(Blood Brothers of Gor page 111)

Similarly, I was not required to respond to certain sort of commands, for example, to make 'slave lips' for kissing, or to writhe slowly before my viewers.
(Kajira of Gor page 224)

.  In this position the slave will lean forward to the Master with her lips pursed to receive His kiss.  She is not to move from this position until she is ordered to do so.
Slave Rape

I went to the side of the room and picked up my sea bag.  I threw it to the centre of the room.  She looked down at it puzzled.  It was a heavy blue material, canvas, and tied with a white rope.  "Lie down upon it", I told her, "on your back, your head to the floor".  She did so.  "No, please", she said, "not like this".  It is a common position for a disciplinary slave rape.  In it the woman feels very vulnerable, very helpless.  Then I took her.
(Explorers of Gor page 202)

In this position a slave is ordered to lay on her back with her head down touching the floor, she is placed upon an item such as a sack where she is found helpless and is taken sexually by the Master.
She-Quadruped

The female is forbidden human speach, she is also forbidden human posture, in the sense that she is not allowed to rise to her feet.  Her locomotion, unless commanded, to roll, or put under similar commands, suitable for a pet, will be on all fours.  Her food will be thrown to her, or put in pans on the ground.  In either case, she must feed without the use of her hands.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 215)

In this position the slave will move to the floor on her hands and knees, much resembling the stance of an animal on four feet.  The slave's head is lowered and she may not move or speak unless ordered.  Her food is tossed or in a pan and must be eaten without the use of her hands.
She-Sleen

He knelt me there.  "Put your head down, to the floor", he said.  "Clasp your hands, firmly, behind the back of your neck".  "Yes, Master", I moaned.  He was then behind me.  He put his hands, under my arms, on my breasts, sweetly and firmly.  Then he moved his hands back, caressing my flanks.  My head was down.  My fingers were together, behind the back of my neck.  I was in his collar.  It was steel, I could not remove it.  I belonged to him.  My body hurt, from his whip, that of my master.  My head hurt, from my hair, where I had been conducted, unceremoniously, to this location.  "Please, Master", I sobbed.  "Not like this! Not you, Please!"  "The slave is pretty", her remarked.  "Oh!", I cried.  "Oh!"  "You have a lovely ass", he said.  "Ohhh!", I said.  "You may thank me", he said.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 209)

In this position the slave will kneel on the floor, her forehead is touching the ground and her hands are clasped behind her head.  She parts her thighs widely as she waits to be taken from behind.
Slave Bow

The slave is knelt on the ground, knees spread wide, the slave is then bent back, the Master maintains balance by leaving one hand on the thigh and the other on the back of the collar - used to present a slave for inspection.
(Renagades of Gor page 300)

In this position the slave is on her knees, her thighs are bend backward by the Master with His hand on her thigh and collar to balance her.  She is then inspected.
Submission

She kneels, bending at the waist, places her cheek to the floor, takes the Master's right foot and places it upon her neck, placing her hands behind her back, crossing them at the wrists.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 411)

For this position please refer to Obeisance Third Position.
Sula

"Sula, Kajira!" said the man.  She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, legs open.
(Explorers of Gor page 77)

In this position the slave lays on her back, her hands are to her sides and she parts her legs widely.  The slave's head is turned to the right.
Sula Ki

Similar to the Sula position, except once she had assumed the Sula position she slowly lifts her hips up off the floor, encouraging her sexual use of him.  She lays on her back, her knees drawn up, before me.  She arched her back.  Her breasts were lifted beautifully.  I observed their lovely rise and fall, correlated with, the respiratory cycle of hersmall lungs.  Then she lay back, her shoulders in the dirt, and pressing against the earth with her small feet, piteously lifted before me, for my examination, and seizure, if I please, the depth of her belly, the sweet cradle of her slave's heat.
(Explorers of Gor page 329)

In this position ths slave is in the Sula position with her hips raised off the ground and her knees bent beggingly for His use.
Tower

There is another variation of Naduwhich she kneels the same way, but with her palms down on her knees modestly together, wrists are held before her and when occupied are crossed as if for binding.  This varitation is referred to as Tower Slave Position and is typically reserved for underage or white-silk slave girls, or slave girls who serve their Master in a nonsexual way, such as a Tower Slave or female Work Slave.  Free Women kneel in this manner also but never cross their wrists.
(Priest-Kings of Gor page 46)

In this position a slave will kneel with her knees pulled closed, her back will be straight and her head lifted with lowered eyes, her palms rest dow on her thighs.
Walk

When this command is given, she turns in a graceful pirouette, her hair swinging.  then she walks, gliding across the room, her feet hardly seeming to leave the floor, her hips swaying sensually, her body erect and proud.  When she reaches her objective she halts and stands, her body erect, her shoulders back, her chest thrust forward, her belly in.  She turns her hip out a bit, her hands at her sides, and points one foot.  Her head is up and her eyes are lowered.
(Magicians of Gor page 342)

In this position a slave will turn on the ball of her feet allowing her hair to sway behind her, she walks gracefully across the floor without her feet barely leaving it.  Her body is straight with her belly somewhat pulled inward, her hip will turn outward slightly as her hands remain at her sides, she points one foot forward as her head is held high leaving her eyes lowered.
Whipping

"Kneel to the whip", said Samos.  Piteously she knelt, a slave girl.  Her wrists were crossed under her, as though bound, her head was to the floor, the bow of her back was exposed.
(Marauders of Gor page 19)

In this position the slave will kneel before the Master, her wrists will cross before her as if she is bound, bending at her waist she places her head to the floor, exposing her back to the Master.
