| "..but in the end, it is you who are the slave; it is you who will
lose. On Earth you had the society at your back, the result of centuries
of feminization; he could not so much as speak harshly to you but you could
rush away or summon magistrates; here, however, society is not at your
back, but at his; it will abet him in his wishes, for you are only a slave;
you will have no one to call, nowhere to run, you will be alone with him,
and at his mercy. Further, he has not been conditioned with counter-instinctual
value sets, programmed with guilt, taught self-hatred; he has been taught
pride and has, in the very air he breathes, imbibed the mastery of females.
These are strong, and they are hard, and they will conquer you. For a man
of Earth, you might never be a woman. For a man of Gor, I assure you, my
dear, sooner or later you will be." Tribesman of Gor page 12 |
| Sometimes, however, the free woman in a captured city is not, say,
simply stripped, thrown down and tied, later to be turned over to an iron
master for the searing kiss of his white hot metal. Sometimes, rather,
she is stripped, and presented before officers, is offered the choice between
swift, honorable decapitation and slavery. If she chooses slavery, she
may be expected to step onto a submission mat, and kneel there, head down,
enter a slave pen of her own accord, or, say, fully acknowledging herself
a slave, belly to an officer, kissing his feet. The question is sometimes
put to her in somewhat the following fashion. 'If you are a free woman,
speak your freedom and advance, now, to the headman's block, or, if you
are truly a slave, and have only been masquerading until now as a free
woman, step now, if you wish, upon the mat of submission and kneel there,
in this act becoming at last, explicitly, a legal slave.' She is then expected,
sometimes, kneeling to lick the feet of a soldier, who then rapes her on
the mat. It is commonly regarded as an acceptable introduction for a woman
to her explicit and legal slavery." Blood Brothers of Gor page 337 |
Willing
Submission
| It should be noted that this does not place a legal obligation on the
warrior. It has to do, rather with the proprieties of the codes. If a woman
not within a clear context of rights, such as capture rights, house rights,
or camp rights, should pronounce herself slave, simplicitor, then she is
subject to claim. These claims may be explicit, as in branding, binding
and collaring, or as in the uttering of a claimancy formula, such as, 'I
own you,' 'You are mine,' or 'You are my slave,' or implicit, as in, for
example, permitting the slave to feed from your hand or follow you." Players
of Gor page 16-7, 21 |
| If and when a free woman should utter this, in the Gorean culture,
of course, this sort of thing is very significant. Indeed, in some cities
such things as kneeling before a man, or addressing him as "Master" effects
legal imbondment on the female, being interpreted as a gesture of submission."
Players of Gor page 139 |
| "Often," I said. Indeed, a female slave is the easiest of all women
to love; too, of course, she is the most natural of all women to love;
these things have to do with the equations of nature, in particular with
those of dominance and submission. To a man a female slave is a dream come
true. A free woman, understandably, cannot even begin to compete with a
female slave for a man's love. That is perhaps another reason why free
women so hate their vulnerable, imbonded sisters. If a free woman would
assure herself of her man's love she could not do better than, in effect,
become his slave. She can beg of him, of she senses in herself the true
bondage of love, an enslavement ceremony, in which she proclaims herself,
and becomes his slave. In their most secret and imitate relations thereafter
she lives and loves as his slave. If a woman fears to do this she may,
on an experimental basis, resort to limited self-contracting, in which
her documents will contain stated termination dates. Thus, by her own free
will, she becomes a slave for a specific period, ranging from an evening
to a year. The woman enters into this arraignment freely; she cannot, of
course, withdraw from it in the same way. The reason for this is clear.
As soon as the words are spoken, as her signature is placed on the pertinent
document, or documents, she is no longer a free person. She is then only
a slave, an animal, no longer with any legal powers whatsoever. She is,
then, until the completion of the contractual period, totally subject to
the will of the master." Blood Brothers of Gor page 101 |
Face-Stripping
| "'If you are free,' said one of them, 'you should be ashamed of yourself
being seen on the bridges so clad.' 'Well,' said Elizabeth, 'if you like
walking around wrapped up in blankets, you are free to do so.' 'Shameless!'
cried the free girl. ' 'You probably have ugly legs,' said Elizabeth. 'I
do not!' retorted the girl. 'Don't choke on your veil,' advised Elizabeth.
'I am really beautiful!' cried the free girl. 'I doubt it,' said Elizabeth.
'I am!' she cried. 'Well then,' said Elizabeth, 'what are you ashamed of?'
Then Elizabeth strode to her and, to the girl's horror, on one of the public
high bridges, face-stripped her. The girl screamed but no one came to her
aid, and Elizabeth spun her about, peeling off layers of Robes of Concealment
until, in a heavy pile of silk, brocade, satin and starched muslin the
girl stood in a sleeveless, rather brief orange tunic, attractive, of a
sort sometimes worn by free women in the privacy of their own quarters."

| "For example, sometimes free women attempt, sometimes even disguising
themselves, to spy on the doings of masters and slaves. For example, they
might attempt, disguised as lads, to gain entrance to paga taverns. And
often such entrance in granted them but later, to their horror, they may
find themselves thrown naked to the dancing sand and forced to perform
under whips. Similarly if they attempt to enter such establishments as
pretended slaves they may find themselves leaving them by the back entrance,
soon to become true slaves. In many cities, such actions, attempting to
spy on masters and slaves, disguising oneself as a slave, garbing oneself
as a slave, even in the supposed secrecy of one's own compartments, lingering
about slave shelves and markets, even exhibiting an interest in, or fascination
with, bondage, can result in reduction to bondage. The theory is apparently
that such actions and interests are those of a slave, and that the female
who exhibits them should, accordingly, be imbonded." Magicians of Gor page

| Once in Ar.. several free women, in anger at slaves, and perhaps jealous
of the pleasures of masters and slaves, entered a paga tavern with clubs
and axes, seeking to destroy it.. The men in the taverns, being Gorean,
and thus not be inhibited or confused by negativistic, antibiological traditions,
quickly disarmed the women. They then stripped them, bound their hands
behind their back, put them on a neck rope, and, by means of switches,
conducted them swiftly outside the tavern. The women then, outside the
tavern, on the bridge of twenty lanterns, forced to witness the burning
of their garments." Magicians of Gor page 51 |
