| “Surely free women, too, have emotions,” I said.
“I was free,” she said. “I did not know what it was to feel until I became a slave. I was free. There was no need to feel, or be aware. But this has changed since I became a slave. I must now be sensitive to the feelings of others. I have never been so aware of other human beings as now. And I cannot always have my way, and I must yield to male domination. I can be commanded, and I must obey, and be pleasing. This answers to something very deep in me, Master.” Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 188 “You will be punished for femininity on this world,” I told her, “only by free women.” Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 204 The slave girl moves, and carries herself, differently from a free woman. This is evident in such small things as fetching a cup for her master or in pouring his wine. These movements, and bodily attitudes and postures, subtle and beautiful, difficult to fully disguise, have betrayed more than one slave beauty who, disguised as a free woman, has sought to flee a city. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 318 “The slave girl must honestly expose her needs,” I said. “The hypocrisy of the free woman, her concealment, her subterfuges, her lies, are not permitted to the female slave.” Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 328 “Have her put her arms over her head, wrists back to back,” said Ayari. . . . No free woman, for example, would dare to place herself in such a position before Gorean free men, unless perhaps, weary of her misery and frustration, she was begging them, almost explicitly, to put her in a collar. There are many stories of Gorean free women, sometimes of high caste, who, as a lark or in a spirit of bold play, dared to dance in a paga tavern. Often, perhaps to their horror, they found themselves that very night hooded and gagged, locked in close chains, lying on their back, their legs drawn up, fastened in a wagon, chained by the neck and ankles, their small bodies bruised on its rough boards as they, helpless beneath a rough tarn blanket, are carried through the gates of their city. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 342 “It is a common property of human beings,” I said, “that they, for better or for worse, do not pay much attention to the thoughts and feelings of others. Thus, it would not be surprising if most men did not pay much attention to the thoughts and feelings of women. If it is any consolation, they do not pay much attention to the thoughts and feelings of other men either. Similar remarks, of course, hold for women. Many women, for example, are excellent in not listening to others. No one sex has a monopoly on dogmatism.” I looked at her. “If you are interested in this sort of thing from the Gorean viewpoint,” I said, “free men and women are usually attentive to the thoughts and feelings of one another. Not only are they free, but they may even share a Home Stone. Free women, in being free, command attention when they speak. It is their due. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 353 – 354 “I had not known such sensations could exist,” she had said. “They are attainable only by the slave,” I told her. “They are the surrender and submission spasms of the owned woman, the girl who must yield absolutely and totally, holding nothing back, to her master.” Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 364 – 365 “Yes, Master,” she said. A free woman’s name, of course, tends to remain constant. A Gorean free woman does not change her name in the ceremony of the Free Companionship. She remains who she was. In such a ceremony two free individuals have elected to become companions. The Earth woman, as a consequence of certain mating ceremonials, may change her last name. The first and other names, however, tend to remain constant. From the Gorean point of view the wife of Earth occupies a status which is higher than that of the slave but lower than that of the Free Companion. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 365 “I was terribly angry,” she said. “‘Never have I been so insulted!’ I said to him. ‘I hate you!’ I cried. He smiled at me. ‘Being troublesome and displeasing is acceptable in a free woman,’ he said. ‘Be troublesome and displeasing while you may. It will not be permitted to you later.’ Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 20 “I do not need permission to speak,” she cried. “I am a free woman! I am not a slave!” Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 38 Page14 |
