Obstetrics

(Artificial insemination done in Tharna)
"I have never been in the arms of a man before," she said., "for the men of Tharna may not touch women."  I must have looked puzzled.
"The Caste of Physicialns," she said, "under the direction of the High Council of Tharna, arranges these matters."
-Outlaw of Gor, p106

(Birth of an Alar baby)
The tiny baby, not minutes old, with tiny gasps and coughs, still startled and distressed with the sharp, frightful novelty of breathing air, never again to return to the shelter of its mothers body, lost in a chaos of sensation, its eyes not focused, unable scarcely to turn its head from side to side, lay before him.  the cord had been cut and tied at its belly.  Its tiny legs and arms moved.  The blood the membranes and fluids had been wiped from its small hot red firm body.  then it had been rubbed with animal fat.
-Mercenaries of Gor, p46

(Differences between Red Hunter and Red Savage babies)
Their babies [Red Savages] are not born with a blue spot at the base of the spine, as in the case with most of the Red Hunters.
-Savages of Gor, p35

(Cleanliness and low infant mortality in the Tahari)
Another habit of nomads, or of nomad mothers, is to frequently bathe small children, even if it is only with a cloth and a cup of water.  There is a very low infant mortality rate among nomads, in spite of their limited diet and harsh environment.
-Tribesmen of Gor, p171

(Infant nursing habits)
It might be of interest to note that children of the nomads are suckled for some eighteen months, which is nearly twice the normal length of time for Earth infants, and half again the normal time for Gorean infants.
-Tribesmen of Gor, p170

(Breast feeding)
A woman, veiled, passed me.  She held a baby inside her cloak, nursing it.  I continued down the sloping street, toward the bazaar and market.
-Tribesmen of Gor p41

Gynecology

(Differences in menstruation ages between Red Savages and Red Hunters)
Their daughters [Red Savages] menstruate earlier [than Red Hunter daughters].
-Savages of Gor, p35

The buyers were also informed that I was "glana" or a virgin.  The correlated term is "metaglana," used to designate the state to which the glana state looks forward, or that which it is regarded as anticipating.  though the word was not used of me I was also "profalarina," which term designates the state preceding, and anticipating, that of "falarina," the state Goreans seem to think of as that of being a full woman, or at least, as those of Earth might think of it, one who certainly is no longer a virgin.  In both terms, "glana" and "profalarina," incidentally, it seems that the states they designate are regarded as immature or transitory, state to be succeeded by more fully developed, superior states, those of "metaglana" or "falarina."  Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not the girl has been "opened" for the uses of men.  Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are "white silk" and "red silk," for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.
-Dancer of Gor, p128

(Terms to refer to the virginity of Free Women)
Glana denotes the state of virginity and metaglana denotes the state succeeding virginity.
-Savages of Gor, p203

Another way of drawing distinction is in terms of falarina and profalarina.  Profalarina designates the state preceding falarina which is the state of a woman who has been penetrated at least once by a male.
-Savages of Gor, p203

(Slave wine and prevention of pregnancy)
Slave wine is bitter, intentionally so.  Its effects last for more than a Gorean month.  I did not wish the females to conceive.  A female slave is taken off slave wine only when it is her Master's intention to breed her.
-Marauders of Gor, pp23-24

He proffered me a cup and I with one hand holding the blanket about me with the other drank its contents.  It was a foul brew but I downed it.  I did not know at the time but it was slave wine.  Men seldom breed upon their slave girls.
-Slave Girl of Gor, p69

I held the object before her.  She regarded it with dismay.  "I have already chewed sip root within the moon," she said.  She did not need the sip root of course for as she had pointed out she had had some within the moon and indeed the effect of sip root in the raw state in most women is three or four moons.
-Blood Brothers of Gor, p319

(Quotes showing slave wine lasts indefinitely)
In the concentrated state as in slave wine developed by the Caste of Physicians the effect [of sip root] is almost indefinite, usually requiring a releaser for its remission, usually administered to a slave in what is called breeding wine or second wine.
-Blood Brother of Gor, p319

"Have you had your slave wine?," asked Ina.
"Yes," I said.  This is not really wine, or an alcoholic beverage.  It is called slave wine I think for the amusement of the Masters.  It is extremely bitter.  One draught of the substance is reputed to last until the administration of an appropriate releaser.  In spite of this belief however or perhaps in deference to tradition, lingering from earlier times, in which, it seems less reliable slave wines were available, dose of this foul stuff are usually administered to female slaves at regular intervals usually once or twice a year.  Some girls rather cynical ones, I suspect speculate that the Masters give it to them more often than necessary just because they enjoy watching them down the terrible stuff.
-Dancer of Gor, p174

Slave wine makes sense in a slave-holding culture, such as Gor.  The breeding of slaves, like any sort of domestic animals, and particularly valuable ones, is carefully controlled.  As a slave, of course, I could be bred or crossed, when, and however, my master might see fit.  It is the same with other animals.
[Skipping a line] When the girl is taken to the breeding cell or breeding stall, she is normally hooded.  her selected mate is also hooded.  In this fashion personal attachments are precluded.  She is not there to know in whose arms she lies, or piteously, and in misery, to fall in love, but to be impregnated.  And in accord with the prescribed anonymity of the breeding, as would be expected, the slaves do not speak to one another.  They may be slain if they do.  Their coupling is public, of course.  In the sense that the master, or usually, masters, and sometimes others, whether in an official capacity or not, are present, to make any pertinent payments or determinations.
-Dancer of Gor, p175

"What is it?," I asked, startled.  It seemed he had produced this almost by magic.  It was a soft, leather botalike flask, drawn from within his tunic.
"Slave wine," he said.
"Need I drink that?," I asked, apprehensively.
"Unless you have had slave wine," he said, "I have no intention of taking you through the streets clad as you are.  Suppose you are raped?"  I put the flask, which he had opened, to my lips.  Its opening was large enough to drink freely from.
"It is bitter!," I said, touching my lips to it.
"It is the standard concentration, and dosage," he said, "plus a little more, for assurance."  Its effect is indefinite, but it is normally renewed annually, primarily for symbolic purposes.  I could not believe how bitter it was.  I had learned from Susan, whom I had once questioned on the matter, the objectives and nature of slave wine.  It is prepared from a derivative of sip root.  The formula, too, I had learned, at the insistence of masters and slavers, had been improved by the Caste of Physicians within the last few years.  it was now, for most practical purposes, universally effective.  Too, as Drusus Rencius had mentioned, its effects, at least for most practical purposes, lasted indefinitely.
"Have no fear," said Drusus Rencius.  "The abatement of its effects is reliably achieved by the ingestion of a releaser."
-Kajira of Gor, p130

(Second wine, reversing slave wine)
The active ingredient of breeding wine or second wine is a derivative of teslik.
-Blood Brothers of Gor, p320
