'Aren't you slave?' asked one of the men nearby, a Warrior, looking
closely. Elizabeth slapped him rather hard and he staggered back, 'No,
I am not, she informed him." Assassin of Gor page 74. |
"Any woman who relishes a compliment is in her heart a slave girl.
She wants to please." Beasts of Gor page 17 |
How startled I had been when she had said that. I had turned away.
She had looked into my eyes, in that instant, not as a slave into the eyes
of a free woman, but as one woman into the eyes of another. I had felt
then, in that instant, that we were both, ultimately, only women, that
we were identical in our femaleness, that we were united in the bonds of
a common sisterhood and what, in relationship to men, it entailed. We were
both, ultimately, only women; we were both, ultimately, though I was free
and she was a slave, representatives of the slave sex." Kajira of Gor pages
162-3 |
"I shall be restored to the honors of the Ubara!' she said. "No," I
said. "You are now a slave. A slave cannot be Ubara. You can do no more
now than pretend to be the Ubara. In a sense you will be an imposter. And
let us hope that no one detects your deception, for, as you know, the penalties
for a slave masquerading as a free woman are quite severe." Magicians of
Gor page 481 |
Also, of course, slaves generally have some value, at least to the
master, even if not much. They, at least, can be bought and sold. Who would
want to risk one in such a foolish manner? Free women, on the other hand,
being priceless, have for most practical purposes no value whatsoever."

Vika dropped her head. "Every woman in her heart," said Vika, "wants
to wear the chains of a man." This seemed to me quite doubtful. Vika looked
up and smiled. "Of course," she said, "we would like to choose the man."
This seemed to me only a bit less doubtful. "I would choose you, Cabot,"
she said. "Women wish to be free," I told her. "Yes," she said, "we also
wish to be free." She smiled. "In every woman," she said, "there is something
of the Free Companion and something of the Slave Girl." Priest Kings of
Gor page 204 |
A free woman is inordinately precious. She is a thousand times, and
more, above a mere slave." Players of Gor page 92 |
Your assertion might be construed as meaning that you had committed
some treason against yourself, or, perhaps, as meaning merely that you
had revealed, or manifested, yourself. Let us consider, first, the matter
of treason. A free woman might, possibly, feel that she had betrayed herself,
in this sense, if she had so yielded to a man as to supply him with some
perhaps subtle hint as to the latency of her slave reflexes.
A slave girl, on the other hand, cannot commit treason against herself
in this sense, for she is a slave. To commit this type of treason one must
have a right, say, to deceive others as to one's sensuality, to conceal
one's sexuality, and so on. The slave girl, an owned animal, under the
command of her master, does not have this sort of right. Indeed, she has
no rights. Accordingly, she cannot commit this sort of treason. Her legal
status precludes its possibility. She may, of course, rationally, fear
the consequences of her responsiveness being discovered, thus increasing,
perhaps to her terror, in a slave culture, her desirability. Similarly
she may lie, or attempt to lie, about her responsiveness, but she is then,
of course, merely a lying slave and, when found out, will be treated accordingly"
"Such treason, then," she said, "can be committed only by a free woman."
"Yes," I said.
"It is a luxury not permitted to the slave." "It is a function only
of the free woman's right to lie, and defraud others?" she asked. "Yes,"
I said." Savages of Gor page 189-90 |
"It was not necessary that you treated Susan as you did," I said. "Do
not attempt to interfere in the relationship between a man and his slave,"
he said. "That relationship is absolute." "I see," I said. I stepped back,
frightened." Kajira of Gor page 172 |
"I am a free woman," she said. "Do you find slaves more interesting
than I?" "Of course," I said. "Why?" she asked. "For one thing," I said,
"they are owned." "That makes them fascinating, doesn't it?" she said,
bitterly. "Yes," I said. "And doubtless," she said angrily, "they do not
have the inhibitions and frigidities of their free sisters!" "They are
not permitted them," I admitted." Rogue of Gor page 151 |
"There seem to be two major reasons why free women are seldom raped
on Gor. first, it is thought that they, being free, are to be accorded
the highest respect, and secondly, slave females are regarded as being
much more desirable." Guardsman of Gor page 184 |
Sexual heat, it might be mentioned, is looked upon in free women with
mixed feelings; it is commanded, however, in a slave girl. Passion, it
is thought, deprives the free woman to some extent of her freedom and self-control;
it is frowned upon because it makes her behave, to some extent, like a
degraded female slave; free women, thus, to protect their honor and dignity,
their freedom and personhood, their individuality, must fight passion;
the slave girl, of course, is not entitled to this privilege; it is denied
to her, both by her society and her Master; while the free woman must remain
cool and in control of herself, even in the arms of her companion, to avoid
being truly "had",
the slave girl is permitted to no such luxury; her control is in the
hands of her Master, and she must, upon the mere word of her Master, surrender
herself, writhing, to the humiliating heats of a degraded slave-girl's
ecstasy. Only when a woman is owned can she be fully enjoyed." Tribesmen
of Gor page 17 |
"'There is a difference' laughed Hassan, 'between the pride of a free
woman and the pride of the slave girl. The pride of a free woman is the
pride of a woman who feels herself to be the equal of a man. The pride
of the slave girl is the pride of the girl who knows that no other woman
is the equal of herself.'" Tribesmen of Gor pages 332-3 |
When free women and slave girls are chained together, it is common
to respect the distinction between them by chaining them somewhat differently;
in this case the free girl's hands were braceleted before her body, the
slave's were fastened below her right leg; it is common for the slave to
be placed under greater restraint, and more discomfort, than her free sister;
this acknowledges the greater nobility of the free woman, and is a courtesy
often extended to her until she, too, is only a slave" Tribesman of Gor
page 147 |
"'But a free woman is a thousand times more valuable than a slave!'
she said. 'Many,' said I, 'regard a slave as a thousand times more valuable
than a free woman.' It interested me that she had put a specific value
on a free woman. 'But then,' I said, 'many also believe that the free woman
and the slave are the same, except for a legal technicality.' 'Free women
are only slaves, not yet collared,' I said." Vagabonds of Gor pages 192-3 |
"The free woman," I said, "lies down and waits to see what will happen.
The female slave kneels beside her master, and begs to please him. The
free woman deems it sufficient that she should exist, the slave girl, on
the other hand, is expected not only to exist, but to excel; indeed, she
fears only, commonly, that she may not be sufficiently marvelous for her
master. It is little wonder that most men find the free woman, in her inertness,
her ignorance and arrogance, boring. It is little wonder that most men
prefer to order her rival to their furs, the helpless, collared, curvaceous,
lascivious, feminine slave." Savages of Gor page 197 |

The Goreans claim that in each woman there is a free companion, proud
and beautiful, worthy and noble, and in each, too, a slave girl. The companion
seeks for her companion; the slave girl for her master. It is further said,
that on the couch, the Gorean girl, whether slave or free, who has had
the experience, who has tried all loves, begs for a master. She wishes
to belong completely to a man, withholding nothing, permitted to withhold
nothing. And, of course, of all women, only a slave girl can truly belong
to a man, only a slave girl can truly be his, in all ways, utterly, totally,
completely, his, selflessly, at his mercy, his ecstatic slave, helpless
and joyous in the total submission which she is given no choice but to
yield." Hunters of Gor page 102 |
Relationship
between FW & female slaves
"Disgusting!" said the free woman, on the tharlarion, in the hunting
costume. I rolled over and looked up. The blond girl, by my side, the slave,
cried out with misery, and dared not meet the eyes of her
free sister. "Greetings," I said. "Do not permit me to interfere with
your pleasures," she said coolly. The slave girl whimpered and put her
head down. How shamed she was before the freedom and grandeur of the free
woman. "Have you found your sport slave yet?" I inquired. "No, she said.
"But he is quite near." "I have not been paying much attention," I said.
"You have been otherwise engaged," she said loftily. I wondered at the
hatred which free women seen to bear at their imbonded sisters. The hatred,
incidentally, is almost never directed at the master, but almost always
at the slave. Do they envy the slaves their collars." Beasts of Gor page
122-3 |
"Slave girls, Mistress?" I asked. "Yes," she said. "They are stinking,
meaningless, lascivious little sluts who have been as slaves in the arms
of Gorean men. It has spoiled them for freedom. They are worthless, sensuous
little beasts whose passions Gorean men have seen fit, as cruel masters,
to ignite. Their sexuality, their shamelessness, their needs, their helplessness,
makes them an insult to free women." Fighting Slave of Gor page 63. |
Near the free woman was a female slave, in a short gray tunic...She
had knelt with her head down to the street, the palms of her hands on the
stones, making herself small, in a common position of obeisance. She kept
her knees tightly together before the free woman. Had she knelt before
a man she would probably have had to keep them open, even if they were
brutally kicked apart, a lesson to her, to be more sensitive as to before
whom she knelt. Magicians of Gor page 18 |
"Sometimes I feel sorry for slaves, mere slaves," I said. "Do not,"
he said. "Why not?" I asked. "As you suggest," he said, "they are merely
slaves." "Of course," I said bitterly. "Does Lady Sheila identify with
slaves?" he asked. "No," I said. "Of course not!" "Good," he said. "Why
is it good," I asked. "It is said," he said, "that she who identifies with
slaves wants the collar on her own neck." "No!" I cried. "It is only a
saying," he said. "It is another such saying that she who identifies with
slaves is a slave." Kajira of Gor page 121 |
"Sometimes I feel sorry for slaves, mere slaves," I said. "Do not,"

I have, more than once, I believe, alluded to the hatred of the free
woman to their imbonded sisters, and to how they profess to despise them
and hold them in contempt. Indeed, they commonly treat such slaves with
what seems to be irrational and unwonted cruelty. This is particularly
the case if the slave is beautiful and of great interest to men. I have
also suggested that the attitude of the free male toward the slave seems
to be motivated, paradoxically enough, by envy and jealousy. Magicians
of Gor page 51 |
Then she cried out to me. "Run, Judy." "Fetch help!"
"Do not." said the man.
"Yes, Master," I said. I looked at the Lady Elicia. "Forgive me, Mistress,"
I said. "I am a slave girl who has been commanded by a man." I knelt to
one side. Slave Girl of Gor page 392 |
The slave girls groveled at her feet. Slave girls fear free women muchly.
It is almost as if there were some unspoken war between them, almost as
if they might be mortal enemies. In such a war, or such an enmity, of course,
the slave girl is completely at the mercy of the free person; she is only
salve. One of the great fears of a slave girl is that she will be sold
to a woman. Free women treat their female slaves with incredible hatred
and cruelty. Why this is I do not know. Some say it is because they, the
free women, envy the girls their collars and wish that they, too, were
collared, and at the complete mercy of masters. Marauders of Gor |
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 |
For some reason free women hate female slaves. They are often quite
cruel even to those whom they themselves own. Perhaps they hate the slave
for her beauty, for her joy, for her truth, her perfections, her desirability,
her happiness. At the root of their hatred, perhaps lies their own unhappiness
and lack of fulfillment, their envy of the slave, joyful in her right of
nature. Magicians of Gor page 197 |
It is a hard thing for a girl to belong to a woman. Slave Girl of Gor
page 359 |
One thing is certain, and that is that there is a deep, psychological
hostility on the part of the free woman for her sister in bondage, particularly
if she be beautiful. Slave girls, accordingly, fear free
women; slave girls want to be locked in the collars of men, not women.
Slave Girl of Gor page 292 |
One of the women did come up beside the wagon with a switch and struck
Feiqa in fury three times.... I wondered if the former rich young woman
of Samnium had herself, in bygone days, accorded slaves similar treatment.
I supposed so. It is not uncommon on the part of free women....In these
attacks, of course, Feiqa was in no danger of being seriously injured,
or disfigured or maimed. Accordingly, I did not take any official notice
of them." Mercenaries of Gor page 29 |
Relationship
between a Free Woman and the male slave
"Any free woman who couches with another's slave, or readies herself
to couch with another's slave, becomes herself a slave, and the slave of
the slave's master. It is a clear law.. Think of it in this fashion, if
you wish. You have given yourself to Milo, but Milo is mine, and can own
nothing, and thus you have given yourself to me. An analogy is the coin
given by a free person to a street girl, which coin, of course, does not
then belong to the girl but to her master. What is given to the slave is
given to the master." Magicians of Gor page 7 |
I wondered what she might look like in a collar. I knew, of course,
what she looked like naked, for I was her silk slave. Free women think
as little of concealing their bodies from their silk slaves as the women
of Earth would before their pet dogs. Fighting Slave if Gor page 180 |
