"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 to cross the ankles. I took this position instantaneously. Slave Girl of Gor, pg 125

 I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket over her, covering her completely. When a blanket, o 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 free man, lifts the covering away." Explorer's of Gor p 94

I pointed to the stones at my feet. "Crawl," I said, 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. "Return," I told her. On her belly, head down, she returned to where she had knelt. Tribesmen of Gor, pg.78

"Approach me, on all fours," I said to the new slave. She
did so, dragging the ankle chain behind her.
I indicated a flat leather box to one side. "Knee crawl," I
said. "Fetch it here."
She went to the box on her knees and picked it up, and
returned to a place before me. It had been a simple knee
crawl  I was briefly reminded, however, of the Turian knee
walk, sometimes used by slave dancers. Magicians of Gor

"Leading position," said Drusus Rencius.  I put my head down to his waist and he fastened his left hand in my hair.
Kajira of Gor, pg 134
 

Her master seized her from the circle then and hurried her from the light, her head down, held by the hair, at his left hip.  This is a common leading position for female slaves being conducted short distances.  As the master holds her hair in the left hand, it leaves his right hand, commonly the sword hand, free.  Magicians of Gor, pg. 46
 

I took her by the hair with my left hand and held her head by my side in a common slave-girl leading position.  I then moved carefully toward the temporary slave camp.

At the approach of the free men, Hermidorus and Drusus, they would immediately position themselves, usually with their knees wide, kneeling back on their heels, their heads up, their hands on their thighs, in the position I had come to understand was that of the pleasure slave, but sometimes,instead, kneeling with the palms of their hands on the tiles, their heads down, too, to the same tiles.
Kajira of Gor, pg 145

I trembled.
"Look up," he said. "Kneel straightly. Put your hands on your thighs. Head up. Split your knees. More widely, slut!"
I obeyed.
I was then kneeling before him, straightly, my head up, my hands on my thighs, my knees widely spread, the chain from my collar dangling down before me,between my breasts, I could feel it on my body, and going back, between my knees, to a ring...
Dancer of Gor, pg 51


The body, kept overlong in any position, of course, even the most natural, becomes stiff and cramped.  A girl, incidentally, in the position of the Gorean pleasure slave, but who is not being kept in the position as a discipline, in which case she remains rigid, is allowed much subtle latitude, which she exploits, without breaking the position. Sometimes, as she becomes animated, she rises a bit from her heels, sometimes her hands move on her
thighs, her shoulders and belly move, her head moves, her eyes are live and vital, she speaks and laughs, and, radiantly, every inch, every bit of her alive, converses lyrically and delightedly. Any girl knows that an interesting body is a moving body. Even within the apparent restraint of the position of the pleasure slave a girl's body can be a subtle, provocative melody of motion. Slave Girl of Gor, pg 36

She nestled obediently in the crook of my left arm.  Explorer's of Gor p 279 
beisance-
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

"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 briefly 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 belly in, 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 of slave submission."


"Now" I said, " and this is clearly a form of obeisance, bend forward and put your head to the mat, the palms of your hands on the mat. Good. Now lift your head 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 women are slaves, "I said " Imagine what this would be like if you were truly a collared slave." She gasped.


"Now" I said, "for a 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 pleasingly combined with other forms of floor movements, approaching the Master on all fours, turning to your sides and back, writhing before him, and so on. We will take a very simple variation, suitable for an ignorant free female who has not yet even begun to discover the depths of her sexuality." 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 on her belly before me looked 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 humbly, and beautifully, as though you were a slave, lick and kiss them. Good. Good. Now take my foot and place it gently on your head. Very good. Now place it again on the Mat, and kiss it again. Good. You may now belly back a little, humbly. I have not yet given you permission to rise of course." "Mercenaries of Gor" pages 409-411

...for she had run as a slave girl is sometimes taught to run, with rapid short 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 dancer's motion than a true run.  Assassin of Gor, pg. 45

....seven girls hurried in, using the short, running steps of the slave girl, arms to the side, palms out, head to the left, eyes averted and knelt between the tables, before the men, head down in the position of Pleasure Slaves. Assassin of Gor, pg. 90

She approached with rapid, small steps, her head down, her hands to the side, slightly extended, palms back.... Magicians of Gor, pg 389

"To all fours," said her keeper.
Immediately she went to all fours.
"Describe a circle, of some five paces in diameter, on all fours, as you are now," said her keeper, "and return to this place."
I watched her.
In this way was she well displayed, and in the attitude of the she-quadruped. Magicians of Gor, pg. 230

At the height of the festivities the cage was opened and its occupant, a former free woman, whose name had been Melina, now a naked slave in sleen collar,was ordered forth on her hands and knees. A sleen leash was attached to her collar and she was marched, as a she-sleen, crawling, abused, to the rape-rack in which I had been earlier confined.  Slave Girl of Gor,pg 238

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 spillages 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. "Guardsman of Gor" page 225

"Lesha," snapped the second officer to the blond 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 them into slave bracelets.

"Nadu!" he snapped.
She swiftly turned, facing him, and dropped to her knees.  She knelt back on her heels, her back straight, her hands on her thighs, her head up,her knees wide. It was the position of the pleasure slave.

"Sula,Kajira!" said the man.She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides,palms up, her legs open.

"Bara, Kajira!" he said.
She rolled quickly to her stomach, placing her wrists behind her, crossed and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound.  Explorers of Gor, pp 76-77

 I went to the side of the room and picked up my sea bag. I threw it to the center of the room. She looked down at it puzzled. It was of 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. I then took her. Explorer's of Gor p 202

He twisted her hair more.  She winced, her back bent painfully. "Do you wish me to submit to you now?" she begged.
"Do so," said he.
She fell to her knees before him, and lifted her head to regard him. "I will be your slave," she said. Then, she knelt back on her heels, lowered her head, and lifted and extended her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding.
She was very beautiful. "I am your slave," she said, "--Master." Hunters of Gor, pg 16

He took his strap off her throat, and unbound her hands.
"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.
"I submit to you, Master," she said. I tied her hands together; she then lowered her bound wrists; I pulled up her head. I held before her an opened collar, withdrawn from my sea bag. I had had one prepared.
Explorers of Gor, pp 74

She came and stood before me, and then dropped to her knees, resting back on her heels. She lowered her head and extended her arms, wrists crossed, the submission of the Gorean female...... Raiders of Gor, pg 92

"Ha!" cried Thurnock. And then he seized up a length of binding fiber. "Submit!" he boomed at the large, blond girl and terrified, almost leaping, she lowered her head, thrusting forward her hands, wrists crossed. In an instant,
with peasant knots, Thurnock had lashed them together.  Clitus bent easily to pick up a length of binding fiber. He looked at the shorter girl, who looked up at him with hate. 
"Submit," he said to her, quietly. Sullenly she did so.  Raiders of Gor, pg 93

{the following position has no name but I have a feeling this may be where the position on-line of  "sula-ki" derived from. 

Sula-ki-

The firelight was beautiful on her body. I think there was no aspect or attitude of her beauty which she had not, pleadingly, presented before me for my inspection and appraisal. Then she lay 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 her small 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 pleased, the deep belly of her, the sweet cradle of her slave's heat.  Explorers of Gor, pg 329

 "The position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding...The position of the Pleasure Slave, incidentally, differs from the position of both the free woman and the Tower Slave. The hands of a Pleasure Slave normally rest on her thighs but, in some cities, for example, Thentis, I believe, they are crossed behind her. More significantly, for the free woman's hands may also rest on her thighs, there is a difference in the placement of the knees. In all these kneeling positions, incidentally, even that of the Pleasure Slave, the Gorean woman carries herself well; her back is straight and her chin is high. She tends to be vital and beautiful to look upon." Priest Kings of Gor p 46-47 
arta- The slave kneels down gracefully, settling her bottom on her heels, then kneeling forward, pressing her breasts to the floor, she then stretches her arms forward above her head, and spreads her fingers apart, kissing the floor/ground under her lips, as she presses her forehead to the floor/ground. Keeping her knees spread wide apart. From this position she begs entry, or exit

Then, before I could realize what he intended, he had subjected Miss Cardwell to what, among slavers, 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...pg 168

Her movements were wooden. The crowd was not pleased. There was only a two gold piece bid. Then taking the whip from the whip slave the auctioneer stepped to the disconsolate girl; suddenly, without warning, he administered to her the Slaver's caress, the whip caress, and her response was utterly, uncontrollably, wild, helpless. She regarded him in horror. The crowd howled with delight. Assassin of Gor...pg 294

Under the torchlight Phyllis Robertson was now on her knees, the Warrior at her side, holding her behind the small of the back. Her head went farther back, as her hands moved on the arms of the Warrior, as though once to press him away, and then again to draw him closer, and her head then touched the furs, her body a cruel, helpless bow in his hands, and then, her head down, it seemed she struggled and her body straightened itself until she lay, save for her head and heels, on his hands clasped behind her back, her arms extended over her head to the fur behind her. Assasins of Gor...page 186

"Display her Lads," said the fellow. The two slaver's men thrust the woman forward, toward the crowd, and bent her backward. Savages of Gor...page 101
