Obligations He is Master, and I am Slave. He is owner, and I am owned. He commands, and I obey. He is to be pleased, and I am to please. Why is this? Because he is Master, and I am Slave. Explorers of Gor - Page 179 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Gor there many sayings about masters and slaves. One is in the form of a question and an answer. The question is, "What does a slave owe a Master?" The answer is, "Everything, and then a thousand times more." Dancer of Gor - Page 189 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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 makes no bargains; she does not desire small demands to be placed upon her; she does not ask for ease; she asks nothing; she gives all; she seeks to love and selflessly serve.” from the Prition by Clearchus of Cos Blood Brothers of Gor - Page 139 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The absolute truth must be spoken to a Gorean master. It is forbidden to a girl to hide her feelings. Captive of Gor - Page 346 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Insubordination in any form, of any sort, in even the tiniest, least significant degree, is not accepted from slave girls by their Gorean masters. Players of Gor - Page 227 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Kneel,” I said. “Kneel?” she asked. “Must a command be repeated?” I asked. Fighting Slave of Gor - Page 311 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Strip,” he said. “There are others present,” she protested. His right hand, in a backhand blow, lashed forth, fierce and powerful, striking her from her knees to her side on the tiles. She rose to her hands and knees and, blood at her mouth, regarded him, disbelievingly. “Must a command be repeated?” he inquired. Swiftly she tore away the slave tunic, stripping herself. Guardsman of Gor - Page 257 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, punishment for having to repeat a command is always at the option of the master. For example, a command might not be clearly heard, or might not be clear in itself, or might appear inconsistent with the master's presumed intentions. Whether punishment is in order or not is then a matter for judgment on the master's part. Magicians of Gor - Page 198 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to tear at their eyes with my fingernails. But I did not wish to be whipped, or slain. It is not surprising that the Gorean slave girl is obedient. Those who are not obedient are often destroyed. I was terribly afraid then, that I had even felt a momentary impulse to rebellion. I shook with terror. Did I think I was still on Earth? Did I not know I was now on Gor? I shuddered. Rebellion is not permitted to the Gorean slave girl. Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 153 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slave girls, on Gor, address all free men as master, though, of course, only one such would be her true master. Nomads of Gor - Page 60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any slave girl, incidentally, addresses any free man as Master, any free woman as Mistress, though only one, of course, at a given time, is likely to be her true Master or Mistress. Slave Girl of Gor - Page 77 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slave girls must address all free men as "Master." Commonly, however, the expression "my Master," when it is used, is reserved for the actual master of the girl, he who is her literal master, he who literally owns her. Dancer of Gor - Page 421 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- … the word 'Master' can indescribably thrill a girl when she finds it on her lips, …, and knows that it is true. Priest-Kings of Gor - Page 234 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slave girls, of course, may speak the name of their masters to others, for example, as in locutions such as, "I am the girl of Calliodorus of Port Cos," or "I come from the house of Calliodorus." It is only that they are seldom, in addressing the master himself, permitted to use his name. He is usually addressed simply as "Master," or as "my Master." Guardsman of Gor - Page 270 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hassan!" screamed Alyena, from below. I smiled to myself. She had dared to soil the name of her master by putting it on her lips which, though beautiful, were only those of a slave. Girls are not, commonly, permitted to speak the name of their master. He is addressed as, or responded to, as "Master" or "my Master." If Hassan survived, he would, I suspected, well beat her for this lapse. Some masters, it might be noted, however, permit the girl to speak their name, if it is accompanied by an acknowledgment of title, as in, say, "Hassan, Master," or "Hassan, my Master." Tribesmen of Gor - Page 183 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so. I had even learned to kneel when addressed by the guards and, of course, always, when approached by Targo, my master. A Gorean slave, incidentally, always addresses free men as "Master," and all free women as "Mistress." Captive of Gor - Page 73 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A girl," I told her, "on entering the compartment of her master, kneels." "Furthermore," I said, "commonly, in the presence of a free man, the girl kneels." Tribesmen of Gor - Page 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood ran from my mouth; other blood I swallowed. My vision cleared; I could not believe the pounding of my heart. I had been cuffed. I knelt, terrified. At that time I did not realize how light had been my discipline considering the gravity of my offense. I had both spoken without permission, and broken position without permission. Most simply, I had been displeasing to a free man. Slave Girl of Gor - Page 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I do not know how to be a slave girl," she suddenly wept. I thrust her head down, "You will begin," I said, "by learning to be docile and submissive." I then rewound the wadding and, dragging her head up briefly, by the hair, from behind, pushed it into her mouth and lashed it in place. I then again thrust her head down. "Also," I said, "you will consider whether or not, at a given time, your master wishes to hear you speak. If you are in doubt, you may ask his permission to speak, which may then be granted or denied, as he pleases." Explorers of Gor - Page 412 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I will be gentle with you this time," I said, "but sometimes, you must understand, you will be used quite differently, for example, with contempt or scorn, or brutality, or cruel indifference, or, perhaps, with ruthless power." "Yes, Master," she said. "Similarly," I said, "you will learn to serve in whatever position your master dictates and in whatever garb, or lack of garb, he pleases." "Yes, Master," she said. "And sometimes, too," I said, "you may have to serve in bonds, even cruel bonds, such things as thongs, and cords and chains." "Yes, Master," she said. "And sometimes, too," I said, "willlessly, even though your back and legs may still sting from his lash." "Yes, Master," she said. "You will learn to serve him whenever, wherever and however he wishes," I said. "Yes, Master," she said. "And perfectly," I said. "Yes, Master," she said. "For he is the Master, and you are the Slave," I said. "Yes, Master," she said. "For you are nothing, and he is all," I said. "I understand, Master," she whispered. Savages of Gor - Page 187 |
