They had a typical misconception of what was involved in total female slavery. The slave is owned. She does not bargain. She owes all to the Master, and gives all to the Master. She strives to be fully pleasing, in all ways, and hopes desperately that she will prove so. Perhaps they would learn that sometime. (Renegades of Gor, pg 44)

serving on His terms

Easy to say, but oh so difficult to accomplish at times. Many things about serving and placing the wishes of Another first, are contrary to what has been ingrained in all of us by modern society. We are taught on urth from a very young age that we are equal to Men, that we should bow down to no one, that we are entitled to all that a Man is. Then, when we find our way to Gor where our slavebelly is awakened, we begin to burn to serve and the internal battle begins.

As Gorean slaves we have so much to learn and much to unlearn as we work toward that lofty goal of absolute obedience and exquisite beauty in all things. One of the biggest lessons we must learn is not thinking of Master as boyfriend or as companion. He is Master. His station on Gor is much more important than that of any slave. Remember a slave is property, a pet, an adornment in His life. She owes all to Him and the quality of her life will be directly proportional to the quality of her service.

It is difficult for a girl not to esteem a man who does as he pleases, even though it is to her that it be done. A woman admires strength, especially if it is used to dominate and control her. It is, it seems, for men to command and women to obey, for men to dominate, and women to submit, for men to claim, and women to yield. It is, it seems the way of primate nature. Its test is enactment; its proof is joy; its evidence is love. If we have lost this, we have lost part of ourselves. (Slave Girl of Gor, pg 423)

There are so many ways to serve a Master, a slave must learn to find happiness in each of these. From somewhere deep within comes the caring, devotion and patience to continue serving flawlessly even when it may seem that you are invisible. You may not be the slave who is chosen to bring His drink, dance or warm His lap, Does that mean you are of lesser value than one of your sisters? Of course not. Each girl is different and unique, each serves in her own special way, the Master notices all that a slave does even when she is unaware He is watching.

"But let us not speak of slaves,” I said, “girls who serve for our diversion or recreation, but of serious matters. of the concerns of men." Agreed,” said he....There was a time for slaves, and a time for matters of importance. (Explorers of Gor, pg 15)

Find things in your home to keep yourself busy, do not just sit and sulk or make short, snippy posts or go around sighing in your home. Do you really want the kind of attention that will bring you? Instead, do a new chore, take a walk, help a new slave, think of a project that will please Him and get your sisters involved, write a new dance, get to know someone in your home that maybe you have not had much interaction with -- the possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination.

Remember, too, that the Master may simply be too busy with other things involved in administrating His home to give each and every slave on His chain the attention He would like. Learn to be content with the little things -- the wink or smile across a crowded room, the PM that He may make the time to send just to let the slave know that He sees her. Learn to cherish the little things and the time He does have to give.

Eventually, of course a woman learns that to please a man on his own terms is the only thing that can, ultimately, fulfill her own deepest needs, those of the owned, submitting love slave. (Explorers of Gor, pg 39)
