Ref: Advanced Kajir Positions

and collected notes by "wicked web witch"

Advance kajir display is for redsilks only, not just because of it's additional complexity and variations, but also because learning it too early will interfere with the kajir's learning of the standard positions, due to minor but crucial variances in the understanding of the terminology.

Moreover, it is highly recommended that this be taught by a specific Master to a specific kajira. This is because, sadly, most who have capped nicks in online-Gor do not bother to learn even the standard positions that a kajira may be commanded to assume, let alone these advanced positions. These positions can be exceedingly lovely to both command, and observe, and the training should not be wasted on those without knowledge or appreciation.


Common Gorean Display Sequence

A display sequence is used to display a slave's reactions and responses, her coordination and intrinsic understanding of the positions she has been taught. What follows is an example from the Books;

Book 10, page 155
Begins with the cracking of the whip close to the kajir but not hitting the slave, observing the slave's reaction to the whip. Then, give the commands, each given quickly, one after the other, giving the slave no time to relax, each position held for no more than a few ihn;

"Stand! Head back! Hands behind head! Bend backwards! Farther! Farther! Straighten up! Walk! Roll your hips! Stand still! Hands on hips! Be insolent! Hands behind back! Hands crossed before you as though bound! Hands at throat, as though chained to the collar, fingers before mouth! Fall to the floor! Kneel! Head down! Head up! Bend backwards! Farther! Crawl on your hands and knees! Crawl on your elbows and kneels! Belly! Crawl on your belly! Roll on the floor, on your side! On your back! Right leg high, now flexed, left leg high, now flexed, extended, palms on floor, left extended, palms on floor! Appear angry! Appear frightened! Appear aroused! Smile!" Crack the whip, observe the slave's reaction again.


Understanding Advanced Positionings

Each position has a basic display, and variants. If the variant is not called for, the basic display is assumed to be the one required.

Book 25, page 320
Palms upwards, or facing outwards, is indicative of submission, vulnerability, and surrender to the Master.
Fingers spread wide apart is further indication of both vulnerability to the Master, and desire for him.
Proper decorum and submission calls for the eyes to be downcaste unless the head is positioned to indicate otherwise, or the Master has commanded otherwise. This is primarily an ircGorean thing, however, it works just as well in real life. The Books specify that requiring a girl to maintain her eyes downcaste is a punishment, or a learning device.


Non-verbal commands

Book 24, page 327
Sometimes a Master will indicate a command through specific gestures which have specific meanings.
* Pointing to a position, two fingers spread in a V
Kneel at that place, in nadu (thighs spread)
* Pointing to a position, two fingers together pointing
Kneel at that place, in tower (thighs together)
* Pointing to a position, then holding the hand flat and lowering it slightly
Go to that place, and drop to your belly
* Pointing to slave and turning the palm upwards, waving up
Stand

Book 7, page 143
"He suddenly snapped his fingers and, in the swift double gesture of the Gorean Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before him, almost simultaneously turning his hand, spreading the first and index fingers, pointing downwards. I fled to him and knelt before him, my knees in the dirt, in the position of the pleasure slave, my head down, trembling."

Above and beyond this, a Master might indicate his desire for the kajira to perform a position, service, or act, through a simple guesture, sometimes quite subtle. Thus the kajira should always be paying strict attention to the Master she is serving, lest these more subtle commands be missed, and she pay the price for inattentiveness.

For example, by the crook of an eyebrow, the Master may be indicating that the kajira is to continue explaining in further detail something she has said. Or by a double-tap of a finger on his knee, indicate that the kajira is to flee to his feet and press her face to his calves.

There is no set protocol for these highly individualized non-verbal commands, each Master is different, and will train his kajira accordingly.


Advanced Positioning

Advanced positioning of the kajira is done by putting together the various basic positions (stances) and basic modifiers of those positions (variants) in a single command. While it may seem complex at first, it is actually very easy to learn because it makes clear logical sense, and in combination gives literally hundreds of possibilities to the Master, thus giving him the flexibility to verbally command the kajira to the precise position he desires.

Examples;

Nadu, eros and vulo
The kajira drops into low nadu (the standard position because high nadu was not specificed), ass on heels, thighs wide-spread, arms raised and elbows straight out to the sides, hands behind the head, fingers interlaced beneath the hair

Nadu, platos and clasp, eyes skyward
The kajira drops into low nadu (the standard position because high nadu was not specified), ass on heels, thighs togther, arms down at side and hands clasping the ankles, holding them securely, her head tilted up and her eyes directed above

Bara, eagle-spread
The kajira moves to her belly, prone on the ground, and spreads both arms and legs out to at least 45 degree angles to the body

Sula, eros and clasp
The kajira lays prone on her back, spreading her thighs and bringing her heels back to her ass so that she may then clasp her ankles securely in her hands, holding them

The list of the basic positions and basic modifiers is in the next two sections.


Basic Positions (Stances)

These are literal meanings of the Gorean words. In Basic Display, the slave is given the usual meaning of a given command, much of which is simply the common ircGorean understanding. However, in truth, these words refer to simple positioning, and are the foundation for more complex display positions.

Nadu - Kneeling*
Bara - Prone, on belly
Sula - Prone, on back
Karta - On all fours
Veck - Standing

* This is further broken down below into High Nadu and Low Nadu
