All Fours
A slave is sometimes put to all fours, which she may move thusly, accompanying masters. In this posture she cannot suddenly run, or dart away. In the situation described the posture was doubtless imposed as a security measure, on an unknown slave, mysteriously arrived from the darkness. In other situations the posture may be imposed upon her as a discipline, to position her for animal usage, to remind her that she is a slave, and so on. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 63
"To all fours," he said to her. "Yes, Master," she said. This position can be igniting to a female slave, being so positioned by a master. At the least, they are well reminded, so positioned beside a man, that they are slaves. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 554
Bara
"Bara, Kajira!" he said. She rolled quickly to her stomach, placing her wrists behind her, crossed, and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 77
"Bara," said Mincon to Tula. "Bara," said I to Feiqa. Both slaves went immediately to their bellies, their heads to the left, their wrists crossed behind their backs, their ankles also crossed. It is a common binding position. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 145
"Bara!" he snapped. I flung myself to my belly in the grass, putting my hands behind me, wrists crossed, and crossing my ankles, too. Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 415
"Bara!" he said. She instantly responded to his command, as she had been trained to do. She was now on her belly, her wrists crossed behind her, her ankles, too, crossed. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 196
"Bara," he said. She went to her stomach and crossed her wrists behind her back, and crossed her ankles. Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 317
Hitherto she had been lying on her belly in the straw, her head turned to the side, in bara, her wrists crossed behind her, with her ankles crossed, as well. It is a common holding, and helplessness, position for a slave. In it, of course, she is positioned perfectly for a swift and secure binding. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 370 When the merchandise had been secured, each item had been placed in the bara position, though they did not know the name for the position as yet, each on her stomach, head facing to the left, her wrists crossed behind her and her ankles crossed, as well. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 3
"Bara!" she snapped. Instantly we turned about in the neck rope, with its three knotted double loops, and went to our stomachs, our heads to the left, our wrists crossed behind us, and our ankles, as well. It is not advisable to hesitate in responding to a command. The bara position was, I suppose the first slave position in which I had been placed. Of course I did not at that time understand it, or know its name. One is quite helpless in the bara position. One is on one's stomach and one's hands are behind one, so one cannot use them to rise, and one's body is extended, with one's ankles crossed. One cannot easily rise from that position. Too, psychologically, one feels oneself submitted, and at the mercy of others. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 296
Bonds of the Master's Will
She wore the "bonds of the master's will." Grunt had put her in them. She lay on her stomach. Her wrists were crossed behind her. Her ankles, too, were crossed. She was "bound." She could not rise to her feet. Yet there was not a rope or a strap on her body. She was "bound by the master's will." She could not move from this position unless, at the word of a free person, she was freed from it. Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 248
"Your hands are now bound behind your back," he said. "Yes, Master," I said. I must now keep my hands or wrists in contact with one another, and behind my back. I was now "bound by the master's will." I could not separate my hands or wrists from one another now without permission. Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 227
Bracelets
"Bracelets," he snapped. She put her head in the air and placed her hands behind her back. Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 146
Brand Display
"Mark?" said a man. Swiftly she rose up on her knees and turned her left thigh to the interrogator, at the same time putting her hands behind the small of her back, as though they might be braceleted there. It is one of the positions of brand display. Mirus smiled. Ellen flushed. I hate him, she thought. But she remained in the position, a common one for brand display. Her wrists, behind her back, were nearly touching. The position accentuates the breasts and, given the position of the hands, is provocatively emblematic; Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 416
I did not give her the "thigh" or "brand" command, but I had little doubt she was now marked. In response to such a command those such as she must kneel on the right knee and extend the left leg gracefully, bared to the hip. The most common marking site on such as she is high on the left thigh, under the hip. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 55
Capture Position
He thought she looked well on her back, in what is referred to as the "capture position." In this position, the captive locked in the arms of the captor, the captor can assess and enjoy the least nuance of expression in the captive's countenance. This position, too, is enjoyed by many masters with their slaves. Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 85
Collar Position
"Collar!" I snapped. Instantly she faced me, holding her hands slightly behind her, and lifted her chin. . . . In this position the collar may be conveniently read. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 17
Common Position of Obeisance
"Common position of obeisance," he said. Immediately, kneeling, she put her head to the floor, the palms of her hands on the floor, beside her head. In this position the knees are closed. It is a position commonly assumed by a slave when a man enters a room. To be sure, this varies from city to city. In some cities all that is required is the common kneeling position, instantly assumed. In other cities, a complete bellying, instantly assumed, is required. Such things may differ, of course, from master to master. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 86
Examination Position
"Have that one stand, to be examined," said a man. "Cotina, stand, examination position!" snapped Targo. Cotina stood, her legs widely spread, her head back, her hands clasped behind the back of her neck. It is hard for a woman to move from this position and she must be concerned with her balance. The subtle adjustments and tenseness required to maintain her balance keep her even more helplessly in place, and these adjustments and this tenseness will also be expressed in her posture, providing body-language cues bespeaking obedience and servitude. Too, obviously this posture bares her vulnerably, and her hands cannot interfere with the examination. The position of the arms, the hands clasped behind the back of the neck, or, sometimes, behind the back of the head, lifts the bosom, exhibiting it beautifully. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 247
"Assume the standard position for the examination of a standing slave," said Portus Canio. Ellen, in her tunic, puzzled, stood then before him, her legs widely, painfully spread. The split hems of the tunic, slit at the sides, permitted this position. Ellen clasped her hands behind the back of her head, and held her head up and back, in this position looking rather at the height of the great portal, leading into the barn area, from the platform outside. In this position it is convenient to examine the slave. She cannot easily move without losing her balance. The position of her hands prevents her from interfering with the examination. The raised head, held back, makes it difficult for her to know, or guess, the position of the examiner's hands, where they are, and what they might do, for example, how and when she might be touched, caressed, or tested. Needless to say, this position is normally assumed when the slave is nude. Prize of Gor Book 27 Pages 309 - 310
Several of the slaves were standing, in examination position, legs widely spread, hands behind the back of their neck, or head. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 333
First Obeisance Position
"First obeisance position," snapped Barzak. "Beg his forgiveness!" Instantly Ellen went to the first obeisance position, head down, palms of her hands on the cement. "Please forgive me, Master," she begged, frightened. "Kneel up, first position," said Barzak. Ellen went to first position, with all its revelatory delights. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 255
In first obeisance position, often assumed by a slave in the presence of a free man, she kneels with her head to the ground, and the palms of her hands down on the ground on either side of her head. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 195
"First obeisance position," I said. She put the black wine to the side on the deck, and put her head to the boards, before me, her hands beside the sides of her head. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 141
"First obeisance position!" I snapped. Moaning, frightened, the six girls went instantly to first obeisance position, kneeling, their heads to the deck, the palms of their hands beside their head. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 245
"First obeisance position," I informed the slaves. Both then went to first obeisance position, kneeling, head to the floor, palms of the hands down on the floor, at the sides of their head. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Pages 428 - 429
Forty-Third Position of Joy
"What is the forty-third position of joy?" asked the man. "I do not know, Master," she said. "What is the sixth delight of the hair of a female slave?" he asked. "I have no idea, Master," she said. "What is the title of the eighteenth love song of Dina, the slave poetess?" he asked "I do not know, Master," she said. "Do you know anything?" he asked. "Very little, Master," she said. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 213
Gagged by Her Master's Will
There are many varieties of slave gags, and such. The simplest device for attaining this end is when she is "gagged by her master's will," which simply means that she is prohibited from speaking until given permission to do so. Vagabonds of Gor Book 24 Page 321
"I did not allow her to speak," said Callias. I nodded. She had been then, as it is said, gagged by the master's will. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 562
High-Harness Position
"Split your knees," he said. "More widely." . . . "Lift your head," he said. "Higher. Higher!" She looked up at him, her head far back, the leash on her throat. . . . "You need not now keep your head in high-harness position," he said to the girl. She moved her head. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Pages 309 - 310
Heel
"You will be well taught to heel and obey," said he. Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 118
The Forkbeard turned about and, one arm about Pudding, the other about Gunnhild, started from the dock. Hilda followed him, to his left. "She heels nicely," said Ottar. The men and bond-maids laughed. The Forkbeard stopped. Hilda's face burned red with fury, but she kept her head high. Pet sleen are taught to heel; so, too, sometimes, are bond-maids; I was familiar with this sort of thing, of course; in the south it was quite common for slave girls, in various fashions in various cities, to heel their masters. Hilda, of course was a free woman. For her to heel was an incredible humiliation. The Forkbeard started off again, and then again stopped. Again, Hilda followed him as before. "She is heeling!" laughed Ottar. There were tears of rage in Hilda's eyes. What he said, of course, was true. She was heeling. On his ship the Forkbeard had taught her, though a free woman, to heel. Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 123
The Forkbeard said nothing to her, but, the next day, when the sun was hot on the deck, and he released her for her exercise, and he walked about the deck, she, though a free woman, heeled him perfectly. The crew had roared with laughter. I, too, had smiled. Hilda the Haughty, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, had been taught to heel. Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 125
"My Jarl," said a voice. We turned about. Hilda knelt before Ivar Forkbeard, her hair to his feet. "May I not follow my Jarl?" she begged. "A lowly bond-maid begs to heel her Jarl." "Then, heel," said Ivar, good-naturedly, turning away. "Thank you, my Jarl!" she wept, leaping to her feet, falling into step on his left, two steps behind him. Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 258
I now carried his shield. I walked behind him, and to the left. I suppose I should have minded. I knew, of course, that I was heeling him. Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 31
He turned about and, with his weapons, strode from the camp. I followed him, at his heel, where a slave girl belongs. Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 109
I strode toward the market. I must leave soon. The girl stumbled after me, weeping. "Please, Master!" she wept. I did not tell her to heel. It was not necessary. She was slave. Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 140
After being led on a leash it is not unusual for a girl to beg her master to be permitted to heel him, following him deferentially in her proper place. Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 367
I extended my hand. I would snap my fingers. When I snapped my fingers she would rise to her feet and follow me, heeling me, like the sleek domestic beast she was, to her master's lodge. One of the first things a girl is taught to do is to heel. Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 108
A man's slave usually heels him, following behind him, or behind him on his left. Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 299
When he left the pit she followed him, a bit behind him and on his left, heeling him. Kajira of Gor Book 19 Page 113
"Do you know how to heel, Feiqa?" I asked. "Yes, Master," she said. She was a Gorean woman, familiar at least superficially with the duties and obligations of slaves. To be sure, as a recently free woman, she might perhaps find herself astounded and horrified at some of the things that would now, even routinely, be required of her. I did not know. Certain things which are not only common knowledge to slaves but even a normal, familiar part of their lives seem to be scarcely suspected by free women. These are the sorts of things about which free women, horrified and scandalized, scarcely believing them, sometimes whisper, fearfully, delightedly, among themselves. Some Earth-girl slaves, brought to Got, incidentally, do not even know how to heel. Incredibly, they must be taught. They learn quickly, of course, in the collar, and subject to the whip. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 14
I then turned about, again, and hurried even more rapidly after my new master. I did not want to lag too far behind, outside the normal heeling distance. Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 290
"You, Claudia, slave girl," she said. "Kneel behind him and to his left." A slave girl, in heeling her master, commonly follows on the left. That she follows indicates that she is subservient, that he is master and she slave; that she follows on the left is a cultural matter probably indexed to the fact that most Goreans are right-handed. Her presence on the left, thus, is not likely to interfere with his draw or the movements of his sword arm. Renegades of Gor Book 23 Page 214
"Heel," I said. "Yes, my captor," she said. I turned to regard her. She would follow me, behind and on the left. In this way the sword arm is not likely to be encumbered. Vagabonds of Gor Book 24 Page 381
He called Teibar then waved to the men about, and turning about, took his way from the area of the circle. The slave rose to her feet and hurried after him, to heel him. Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 56
Marcus and I stopped, and Phoebe knelt beside Marcus, back a bit, in close heeling position. Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 113
In moment or two Marcus was again beside me, and Phoebe behind him, on his left. The girl normally heels a right-handed master on the left, that she not encumber the movements of the weapon hand. Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 117
I knelt behind the pit master, to his left. That is the common heeling position. Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 321
That woman now, perhaps, with Laura, heeled her master in Brundisium, some paces behind, and to his left. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 222
"Master?" asked Ellen. But already he was threading his way through the crowd, and the fires. Swiftly she fell into place behind him, heeling him, behind his left shoulder, but, given the press of the crowd, much more closely than would normally be the case. A slave girl's heeling distance is a function of a particular situation, of local circumstances, so to speak. In an open area a girl will normally heel three to five paces behind, normally on the left. Whereas following on the left, which is usual, may be a simple matter of gratuitous custom, it might also be noted that this arrangement may have a darker origin. If objects are to be handed to a man, say, a warrior, such as a buckler, or barbed war net, this transfer of articles from the left is not likely to discommode or encumber the most common weapon hand which is, of course, the right. On the other hand, it is thought that following on the left is generally a position of less dignity, and thus appropriate for animals, including slaves. A consideration favoring this possibility is that left-handed Goreans will also, commonly, have their sleen, their slaves, and such, follow on the left. A free woman walks proudly beside a free man or, if the press does not permit this, is often accorded the privilege of preceding him. One of the most humiliating things for a Gorean free woman, after she has been enslaved, other than the loss of her name, is that she must now follow, and neither walk beside nor lead. Prize of Gor Book 27 Pages 428 - 429
Cecily had heeled me into the pavilion. After entering with me, she had gone, as was proper, to first obeisance position, beside me, a bit back and to my left. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 194 - 195
Commonly, the slave heels the master, usually behind him on his left, as his sword arm is usually the right arm. In this way her presence is not obtrusive, and is unlikely to either distract or encumber him. Also, in this way, he is usually between the slave and other males, possible danger, and such, that she, unarmed and half naked, may be shielded. This also tends to protect her from free women. Too, of course, the position is one of subordination, and is thus fitting for a slave, and domestic animal. For example, a domestic sleen is also likely to heel the master, and also on the left. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 415
"Heel us," I snapped. Dutifully the girls fell in behind us, on our left. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 487
Normally the slave remains behind the master, commonly on the left, as she would in heeling him. The free woman, of course, either walks beside the free man, or precedes him. The slave walks behind, for she is a slave. She heels on the left, by custom, as most men are right-handed, and their weapon arm is not to be encumbered. On the other hand, these arrangements are not without value to the slave. In walking behind him, for example, she is protected, sheltered from danger by the wall of his arm and steel. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 568
She increased her pace, to close the gap between herself and her master, that she might follow in prescribed heeling position. Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 141
Interestingly, the Lady Bina was, in many ways, rather different from the typical Gorean free woman. She had observed other free women, with serving slaves, and so she had me heel her, at the proper distance, on the left, appropriately, head down, but she was not at all strict about my looking about and I frequently did so. Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 207
I rose to my feet, and tied up, as I could, the torn tunic, and replaced the kerchief. I then, carrying the suls, heeled my Mistress from the market. Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 216
"May I not heel Master?" I said. "No," he said, "the trail is too narrow." One heels on the left side, usually a little behind. Much depends on the master, the terrain, the crowding, or such. Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 417
I shall now speak of him simply as Grendel. I heeled him into the large room, and, when he crouched down, at ease, before the broad dais, I knelt behind him, on his left. Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 492
His slave, Donna, was behind him, kneeling, on his left, a common position in which a slave heels her master. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 389
Injection Position
"Lie down there," said Tutina, "on the rug, before his desk, on your right side, with your knees drawn up." Awkwardly, and with unsteadiness, and some pain, the older woman, tears in her eyes, humiliated, went to her hands and knees, and then to the position to which she had been directed. "Hereafter," said Tutina, "when you hear the command 'Injection position', in whatever language, you will instantly, and unquestioningly, assume this position." Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 41

Inspection Position
In inspection position one such as she would normally be stripped, and standing with her feet spread, and her hands clasped either behind the back of her neck, or behind her head. In this way the breasts are lifted nicely, and, given the position of the hands, one has no interference to one's vision, and, similarly, one may, perhaps walking about her, test her for firmness, and for vitality, and such things. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 16
Kneeling Position
The kneeling position is, of course, a suitable one for slaves. A slave will normally assume such a position on entering the presence of her master or a free person. She will probably remain in it until permitted to rise. It is a common position, too, for her to assume when she is in attendance of a master, for example, awaiting his notice or commands. Too, she will usually speak to her master from this position, unless, of course, she is lying down, as in making her reports to him, inquiring as to his will, answering questions, and so on. Some masters approve it, too, for purposes of general conversation. Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 246
Kneeling to the Whip
I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip. Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 200
"Kneel to the whip!" said Samos. Piteously she knelt, a slave girl. Her wrists were crossed under her, as though bound, her head was to the floor, the bow of her back was exposed. Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 13
"Kneel to the whip," he said. I obeyed. I put my head down, and, beneath my body, crossed my wrists, as though they were bound. My back was bowed, ready for whatever punishment he might see fit to administer to me. Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 436
"Kneel to the whip, Melpomene!" she ordered her. Melpomene then, sobbing, knelt, her legs close together, her wrists held crossed under her, as though bound, her head down, touching the floor, the bow of her back exposed, a slave girl awaiting punishment. Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 284
Leading Position
She wept, trying to hold the guard's wrist, where it was fastened so deeply, so cruelly, in her hair, she bent over, her head at his hip, hurried forth, into the room, in a common Gorean leading position. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 78
"I looked at the girl. I nodded to her to approach me. She did so. I held my left hand open, at my waist. She stiffened, and looked at me, angrily. I opened and closed my left hand once. I saw her training in Gorean customs had been thorough. But she never thought that such a gesture would be used to her. She came beside me, and a bit behind me, and, crouching, put her head down, deeply. I fastened my hand in her hair. She winced. Women are helpless in this position." Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 409
"I then snapped my fingers and held my right hand, open, at my hip. Swiftly the girl rose to her feet and, half crouching, put her head by my hand. I fastened the fingers of my hand deeply and firmly in her red hair. She winced, and kissed at my thigh. I then, the goblet of paga in my left hand, her hair in my right, dragged her beside me, her slender chains rustling, to the nearest alcove." Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 59
Others passed, too, with slaves in custody, but differently, the slaves bent over, in leading position, their heads at the hips of free men, held there by the hair, these slaves' hands fastened, too, behind their backs. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 431
We then thrust them stumbling to the waiting Ashigaru who took the hair of each in a separate hand and, bending them over at the waist, conducted them both in a common leading position to some point of collection. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 461
When I was finished I took her by the hair and pulled her from beneath the table, and held her, bent over, in common slave-leading position, at my left hip, and left the table. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 199
Others were put in painful leading position, one in each hand, their heads held at the hip of their keeper of the moment. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 329
Then she, unsteady, and rubbing her wrists, was taken by the hair, by the proprietor's man, was bent over, at the waist, and, in standard leading position, was conducted to the back of the tavern, and drawn through a thick curtain of layered, dangling, colored beads. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Pages 472 - 473
He twisted her rudely, abruptly, about, and downward, and she was then at his feet, he crouching over her, his hand in her hair. He then straightened up angrily, and, she crying out in pain, jerked her to her feet, and held her beside him, bent over at the waist, her head tight against his hip her head down, facing the floor, she then in leading position. In a moment, she had been conducted to the side of the fellow in blue. Her small hands were on the wrists of the fellow who held her. She was whimpering. As she was held, she could only look down, into the straw. She held her head still, extremely still, to avoid more agony, for the guard's hand was tight in her hair. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 60
Lesha
"Lesha," snapped the second officer to the blond girl. She spun from facing him, and lifted her chin, turning her head to the left, placing her wrists behind her, as though for snapping them into slave bracelets. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 76
The guard was behind me. "Lesha!" he said, Immediately, responsive to this command, I flung my wrists behind me, separated by some two inches, and lifted my chin, my head turned to the left. Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 365
He approached the slave and indicated that she should stand. He then said, very sharply, "Lesha!" Instantly the girl turned away from him, lifted her head, turned it to the left, and placed her small wrists, crossed, behind her back. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 400
Lips To Boots
"Lips to boots," I said. She pressed her lips to my boots, left and right, kissing them, and licking at them. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 153
Nadu
"Nadu!" he snapped. She swiftly turned, facing him, and dropped to her knees. She knelt back on her heels, her back straight, her hands on her thighs, her head up, her knees wide. It was the position of the pleasure slave. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 77
"Nadu!" he cried, loosening the whip coils on her throat. She swiftly knelt, back on her heels, back straight, head high, hands on her thighs, knees wide. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 80
"Nadu!" said Tajima, sharply. The girl struggled to nadu, kneeling back on her heels, her head up, her back straight, the palms of her hands down on her thighs. She did not make eye contact with any of the free men, but kept her gaze forward. It is a beautiful position. "Split your knees," said Tajima. "No!" said Pertinax. "Now!" said Tajima. The girl spread her knees. "Wider!" said Tajima. She was, after all, a collar-girl. The former Miss Wentworth complied, quickly, docilely, with Tajima's command. She had learned obedience to men, slave obedience, in the stable, at the hands of the grooms. "Please!" protested Pertinax. "Stay as you are," cautioned Tajima. The slave remained in the adjusted nadu, as directed. It was a common form of nadu, one almost invariably expected of a particular sort of slave, the pleasure slave. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Pages 382 - 383
"Nadu," whispered the taverner, and the girl went to position, back on heels, knees wide, back straight, the palms of her hands down on her thighs. She kept her head down. Commonly, in nadu, the head is up, the gaze straight ahead, that the beauty of her features be displayed, and that she be in a position to better detect the slightest nuances of her master, either in tone or expression, but neither the taverner nor the stranger exacted this small adjustment. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 10
Nestle
"Nestle," I told her. "Yes, Master," she said. She nestled obediently in the crook of my left arm. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 279
Obeisance
"Obeisance!" snapped the guardsman. Instantly Ellen, and her sister slaves, went to first obeisance position, head down to the cement. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 234
When we appeared before her cage, she put her head down to the blanket, the palms of her hands on the floor of the cage, beside her head, It is a lovely gesture of obeisance, and required by many masters of their women. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 340
I pointed to the sand before me. She immediately, frightened, dropped to her knees and again put her head down to the sand, the palms of her hands, too, on the sand. Vagabonds of Gor Book 24 Page 205
Position
"Position," said another of the men. Ellen, the beast having released her hair, went to position, kneeling, knees wide, back straight, head up, hands on thighs. "A pleasure slave," said one of the men. "Obviously," said another. Ellen wondered if she should have kept her knees closely together, before Mirus, but she had naturally, instantaneously, not even thinking about it, assumed the wide-kneed position. Prize of Gor Book 27 Pages 415 - 416
"Position," said the auctioneer to Ellen. And then Ellen, tears running down her cheeks, knelt appropriately before the men, as what she was, a Gorean pleasure slave, back on heels, back straight, head up, hands down on thighs, knees widely spread. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 491
Her discomfiture amused the human, Peisistratus. "She is kajira?" he inquired of Cabot. "Yes," said Cabot. "Why is she not in position?" inquired Peisistratus. . . . He removed the switch from his belt. She regarded the implement disbelievingly. "Kneel," said Peisistratus to the girl, "now, instantly! Back on your heels. Spread your knees!" "My knees!" she cried. "Yes," he said, "widely. More widely! Straighten your back, place your hands, palms down, on your thighs, lift your head, look straight ahead!" "Never!" she cried. And then the switch fell savagely upon her, twice. She screamed in misery. . . . "Up, slut, position, position!" said Peisistratus. Wildly, frantically, sobbing, tears streaming from her eyes, in pain, the brunette knelt before Peisistratus, in position, as required. "Keep your hands on your thighs!" snapped Peisistratus, for she had dared to move to cover herself. She complied instantly. Cabot was pleased to note this alacrity. Too, he was pleased to see her in position. She looked well in position, in the position of a Gorean female slave, indeed, rather, in the position of a Gorean female slave of a particular sort, the Gorean female pleasure slave. Kur of Gor Book 28 Pages 119 - 120
"Enough," I said. "Position." She knelt then before me, as before, back on her heels, head up, back straight, the palms of her hands down on her thighs. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 154
Suddenly one fellow said, sharply, "Position!" Instantly, reflexively, Iole and Alcinoƫ, frightened, knelt, back on their heels, knees spread, back straight, head up, looking ahead, neither to the left or right, the palms of their hands down, firmly, on their thighs. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 299
"Position!" I said. "Master!" protested several. "Need a command be repeated?" I asked. With cries of misery, and sobs, the slaves, or most, went to position. "Hold the lamp," I said to Alcinoƫ. She took the lamp. "Please, no," wept slave after slave. I drew away blankets, which had not fallen about the slaves. "Backs straight," I said. "Lift your heads. Peer straight ahead. Shake the hair behind your shoulders." I looked about, from one slave to another. It was pleasant to do so. "Shoulders back," I said. "Suck in your belly. Palms of your hands down on your thighs, firmly. Feel them there." "Please, Master," sobbed a girl. "We are high slaves!" "Many of us were once of high caste!" said another. "Split your knees," I said. "Master!" wept a girl. "Wider," I said. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Pages 337 - 338
She was before me, in position, kneeling back on her heels, her back straight, her head up, looking ahead, the palms of her hands down on her thighs, her knees spread, this making clear the nature of her bondage. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 565
"Position," I said. She went to position, kneeling back on her heels, her back straight her belly in, her shoulders back, her head up the palms of her hands down on her thighs. One does not break "position" without permission. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 50
"Position," called a fellow himself descending from the ship splashing, and wading to shore. So, cold, wet, and shivering, miserable, we went to "position," kneeling back on our heels, our backs straight, our heads up looking ahead, our knees spread, as the slaves we were, the palms of our hands down on our thighs. "Ai!" I cried, in misery, lashed at the side of the neck by a switch. He had come up behind me, from having brought a small barrel to shore. "Are you not to be in position, your eyes forward?" he inquired. "Yes, Master!" I said. "Forgive me, Master!" I had twisted about, just a little from time to time, to watch the men. "Ha!" he said. "And you two, your eyes are now forward!" "Yes, Master!" they said. Then they cried out, "Forgive me, Master!" I heard their cries, to my right, as the switch struck twice. I was not the only one, it seemed, who had been curious. The side of my neck stung. I had been reminded that a lapse from position, however slight is not acceptable. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 91
"Position!" he snapped. Instantly, reflexively, I went to position, kneeling back on my heels, back straight, head up hands palm down on thighs, looking forward, not meeting his eyes, knees spread. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 127

Position of the Pleasure Slave
"You may do obeisance, my dear," said Kliomenes. The girl rose to her feet and went to Kliomenes. She knelt before him, on the dais, and put her head down. Gently, softly, she licked and kissed his feet. She then rose again to her feet, backed away, and then, on the tiles, again knelt. She put the palms of her hands on the tiles, and lowered her head to the tiles. Then she straightened up, her back straight, assuming the position of the pleasure slave, though keeping her head bowed, deferentially. Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 299
She knelt before him, in her collar, in the basic position of the Gorean pleasure slave, back on her heels, her back straight, her head up, the palms of her hands on her thighs, her knees spread, widely. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 116
"Spread your knees," he said, "kneel straight, back on your heels, head up, palms of your hands down on your thighs." The slave began to tremble. "Head up!" he said. "Do you wish to be put in a high collar, to keep your head up?" "No, Master," she said, quickly. Such collars are common with Kur pets. They are also used from time to time in slave training. "Do you know in what position you have been placed?" he asked. Certainly this was a rhetorical question, for she would have learned this position in the pleasure cylinder, and Cabot, himself, in the pleasure cylinder, near Lake Fear, and elsewhere, had put her in it often enough. "The position of a Gorean pleasure slave," she said. Kur of Gor Book 28 Pages 662 - 663
The position of the pleasure slave, of course, is also respectful, but it is also provocative, and inviting. It must leave no doubt in the observer's mind as to what sort of slave she is. The palms of her hands are usually down on her thighs, and her head up, but, if she is petitioning caresses, as is not uncommon, the palms are usually up, the backs of the hands on the thighs. . . . The palms, then, so offered to the master, with their exposed, sweet, sensitive cupping, the backs of the hands down on the thighs, as though bound to them, as though not permitted to leave them without permission, present a sign not difficult to read. Too, at the same time, the girl's head is usually lowered. This makes clear her humility and need, and how much she is at the mercy of the master, for the least touch. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Pages 180 - 181
Variations, of course, occur. Sometimes, perhaps in markets, the girl will kneel with her wrists crossed behind her, as though bound, or will have her hands clasped behind the back of her head, or the back of her neck. This lifts the breasts, nicely. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 181
Primary Slave Position
Cabot had then fed her by hand, she in primary slave position, and with her knees spread, as she was that sort of slave. He also, in hand-feeding her, had required that she keep her hands, palms down, firmly, on her thighs. Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 400
Second Obeisance Position
"Second obeisance position," he said. Ellen went prone, before him, her hands at the sides of her head. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 191
"Return me to my master!" she cried, putting herself to her belly, pleading, in second obeisance position, before Targo. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 226
The usual second obeisance position has the slave go to her belly, her hands on either side of her head. Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 195
"Now," I said, "to second obeisance position." "Please," she protested, her head to the deck. "Must a command be repeated?" I inquired. "No!" she said. The repetition of a command is often a cause for discipline, and she was well aware of what that might involve. She was now on her belly before me, her hands at the sides of her head. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 153
It was also noted that now, before Pani warriors, they did not kneel, but prostrated themselves, putting themselves instantly, trembling, to second obeisance position, prone, hands to the sides of their head, eyes to the ground. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 421
Slave-lips
A girl who is commanded to make slave lips, or who receives the command, "Slave lips," must form her mouth for kissing. She then, commonly, is not permitted to break this lip position until either she kisses or is kissed. Needless to say, a girl cannot speak when her lips are in the unbroken, fully-pursed slave-lips position. The command which commonly follows the "Slave-lips" command is, "Please me." Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 111
Standard Binding Position
"Standard binding position," he said. I was prone. When a girl is prone, the standard binding position is to cross the wrists behind the back and to cross the ankles." Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 125
Stay
"Stay, Feiqa." "Yes, Master," she said. She would now keep her place, kneeling, as she was, until a free person might permit her to move. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 52
Submission
She had risen and walked across the room, her feet bare on the stone floor, and dropped to her knees before me, lowering her head and lifting and extending her hands to me, the wrists crossed. The ritual significance of the gesture of submission was not lost on me; her wrists were offered to me, as if for binding. Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 67
"Submit," I told them. They knelt before me, back on their heels, head down, arms lifted and extended, wrists crossed as though for binding. "I submit myself," said each, in turn. They need not be bound. They need not be collared. They need not even have spoken. The posture of submission itself, assumed by them before me, constituted them my slaves. They were now mine. Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 182
Then suddenly one girl turned from the forest and fled to a crewman, kneeling before him, back on her heels, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed as though for binding. He gestured that she should rise and get into a longboat. She did so, his slave. Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 310
Sula
"Sula, Kajira!" said the man. She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, her legs open. Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 77
Why had he not, at least, issued the "Sula!" command? That was one of several commands she had been trained to respond to instantly. Upon hearing this command, the slave immediately assumes a supine position, her hands at her sides, palms up, her legs open. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 124

Thigh
I did not give her the "thigh" or "brand" command, but I had little doubt she was now marked. In response to such a command those such as she must kneel on the right knee and extend the left leg gracefully, bared to the hip. The most common marking site on such as she is high on the left thigh, under the hip. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 55
Tower
"Your knees!" said the Lady Bina. "Mistress?" said the slave. "Should they not be spread?" "She is in the presence of a free woman," said Cabot. "It is thus appropriate that she kneels in the Tower position." Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 342
Whip Position
In moments the slave, stripped, her wrists crossed and bound, and fastened over her head, to a stout, overhanging branch, that her beauty might be protected, that she might not be dashed against a post or tree trunk, was in whip position. Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 477
Bow
I then lifted her up, in effect kneeling her, and then bent her back, her head back to the dirt, that the warriors might assess the bow of her beauty. Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 62
I then bent her back, one hand on a thigh, the other on the back of her collar, in a slave bow, for the inspection of the young fellows. Renegades of Gor Book 23 Page 300
He then put his left hand on the side of the captive's waist and, with her wrists enfolded in his grasp, bent her backwards, to exhibit the bow of her delights. Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 421
He then, angrily, took the Lady Constanzia by the hair and bent her backwards, exhibiting the bow of her beauty. Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 467
Then she felt his massive hand in her hair, tight, and he pulled her up to an erect kneeling position. . . . She then felt her body, her hair in his grip, his left hand on her left knee, bent backward, until she was helpless before him; the 'slave bow,' as the expression is, of her vulnerable, owned beauty thusly exhibited for his attention, or assessment. Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 141
The rope was then lifted and a length of it looped twice about the slave's neck and knotted there. In this fashion a single rope may be used for both binding and leashing. This is not all that unusual on Gor. One end secures the slave's wrists, the center collars her, and the remainder, the free end, serves as a leash or tether. It may also be used, of course, if one wishes to immobilize her, to fasten her ankles together. Her ankles may be simply bound or, if one wishes, tied closely to her wrists. That tie is sometimes spoken of, properly or not, as the 'slave bow.' It may be called that simply because the slave's wrists and ankles are bound together, and this bends her body, in a natural bow, or it may be called that because of a supposed analogy with exhibitory slave bows, in which, for example, on a slave block, a slave might be bent backward, or knelt, and her head drawn by the hair back to the floor, and so on. These exhibition bows are often utilized in showing the slave, as they accentuate the delights of her figure. There are a number of 'tethering slave bows,' of course, for example, for fastening a slave over a saddle, a wheel, a piece of furniture, or such. These diverse uses and meanings, of course, are not mutually exclusive, because a slave might well be displayed in a 'tethering slave bow.' Some conjecture that the original meaning of 'slave bow' has to do with exhibition. Accordingly, it is their speculation that the 'tethering slave bows' are derivative from that primary usage, that of exhibition. This would make sense because the 'tethering slave bows' certainly do exhibit the slave, as well as rendering her helpless. Others seem to feel that the basic meaning is that of a form of secure and revelatory binding, in which the slave is helplessly and delightfully displayed, and that the exhibitory usages of the expression are secondary, being founded upon, and derivative from, this more basic, original usage. On the other hand, as most suppose, and as seems most plausible to the slave, these usages may very well have been developed independently, both based on the obvious consequences on the slave's body of a certain form of handling or manner of binding. There seems to be some division among Goreans on this matter. And doubtless it is not of great importance. Please forgive this excursion into speculative etymology. Ellen finds such matters fascinating, perhaps in part because she has been so handled and so roped. What is perfectly clear and indisputable is that in Gorean 'slave bow', putting aside considerations of origin, derivation and chronology, and such, has the basic meaning of the forming of the slave's body into a bow, and two application meanings, one pertaining to a modality of exhibition and the other to a modality of binding. Abstract obscurity, as usual, vanishes in concrete context. As this phenomenon is common in many languages, it is not surprising that it should appear in Gorean, as well. A stripped free woman might, of course, be put in a 'slave bow,' without compromising the meaning of the expression. And the free woman might find this situation instructive, and anticipatory. Prize of Gor Book 27 Pages 574 - 575
"Let me see her," said Lord Grendel. Statius seized her by the hair and pulled her up, kneeling, so that Lord Grendel could see her face. "Bend her backward," said Cabot. This was done and the body of the Lady Bina was then placed in the position of the slave bow. Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 516
Others had been placed in the slave bow. Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 333
The item had been placed in the slave bow, bent backwards, the auctioneer's hand in her hair. Smugglers of Gor Book 32 Page 17
