'What is the duty of a slave girl' I inquired.
'Absolute obedience' she said, frightened.
'What are you?' I inquired.
'A slave girl,' she said.
'What is your duty?' I asked.
'Absolute obedience,' she cried out."

--#8 Hunters of Gor, page 258

Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master, though often strict, is seldom cruel. The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one. She will almost never encounter sadism or wanton cruelty, for the psychological environment that tends to breed these diseases is largely absent on Gor. this does not mean that she will not expect to be beaten if she disobeys, or fails to please her Master.

Flaminius to the slavegirls in training
"No woman," it is said, "knows truly what she is until she has worn the collar."

book6 pg 155 Raiders of Gor.

"He suddenly snapped His fingers and, in the swift double gesture of a Gorean Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before Him, almost simultaneously turning His hand, spreading His first and index finger, 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."

Captive of Gor, p. 143.

The talender, fixed in her hair, is a slave girl's wordless confession, which, commonly, she dares not speak, that she cares for her Master."

--p.65, Hunters of Gor

"What is the common purpose of a collar?"
"The collar has four common purposes, Master," she said, "First, it visibly designates me as a slave, as a brand might not, should it be covered by clothing. Second, it impresses my slavery upon me. Thirdly, it identifies me to my Master. Fourthly - fourthly - "
"Fourthly?" he asked.
"Fourthly," she said, "it makes it easier to leash me."

Page 70. Expolorers of Gor.

"`In the eyes of Gorean law you are an animal. You have no name in your own right. You may be collared and leashed. You may be bought and sold, whipped, treated as the master pleases, disposed of as he sees fit. You have no rights whatsoever. Legally you have no more status than a tarsk or vulo. Legally, literally, you are an animal.'

--pg 316, #13 Explorers of Gor

There seem to be two major reasons why free women are seldom raped on Gor. first, it is thought that they, being free, are to be accorded the highest respect, and secondly, slave females are regarded as being much more desirable."

--p.184, Guardsmen of GorM

Swords are often drawn on Gor over women, and particularly over lovely slaves. Women are prizes, perfections and treasures. It is no wonder that men fight over them with ferocity. Wars have been fought to recover a stolen slave."

--p.397, Renegades of Gor*

"The Gorean Master commands sensuality in his female slaves. You cannot even move like that now. Yet muscles can be trained. You will be taught to move as a woman, not a puppet of wood. You will be taught to be sensual. You will learn your womanhood. And, I will tell you where you will learn it. At the feet of a Master."

To quote from Master Tarl Cabot.........
"You are slave. You are owned. You are a female. You will be forced to be a woman. The Gorean man will accept no compromise on your femininity, not from a slave. She will be what he wishes, and that is a woman, fully, and his. If necessary, you will be whipped or starved. You may fight your Master. He will, if he wishes, allow this to prolong the sport of your conquest., but in the end, it is you who are slave, it is you who will lose. On earth, you had society at your back, he could not so much as speak harshly to you but you would rush away or summon magistrates; here, however, society is not at your back, but his. It will abet him in his wishes, for you are only slave; you will have no one to call - nowhere to run; you will be alone with him and at his mercy. Further, he has not been conditioned with counter instinctual value sets, programmed with guilt, taught self-hatred. He has been taught pride and has, in the very air he breathes, imbibed the mastery of females. They are different men. They are not earthlings. They are Goreans. They are strong, they are hard, and they will conquer you. For a man of earth, you might never be a woman. For a man of Gor, I assure you, my dear, sooner or later you will be."
