Slave Clothing, Accessories : Brands, Collars, Bonds
"It must be understood, of course, that a slave, having no rights, does not have the right even to clothing. That a girl is wearing even a rag is usually a sign that she has pleased her master, and quite significantly, too. Often the garment of a slave girl does not come easily to her, in private, of course, even rags are often dispensed with. The slave is the property of the master, and, in the privacy of his quarters, she is done with, totally, as he pleases."| general dress | camisk | kes | silks | sirik | ta-teera | tunic |

For example, although one may see a girl in the streets, naked save for, say, her brand and collar, or a bit of chain, this is not common. This sort of thing is done, usually, only as a discipline. Free Women tend to object, for the eyes of their companions tend almost inadvertently to stray to the exposed flesh of such girls. Perhaps, too, they are angry that they themselves are not permitted to present themselves so brazenly and lusciously before men. Needless to say it is difficult for Men to keep their minds on business when such girls are among them. Perhaps this is the reason that magistrates tend to frown upon the practice. After all, Goreans are only human.
In a family house, of course, girls are almost always modestly garbed. Children of many houses might be startled if they could see the transformation which takes place in their pretty Didi or Lale, whom they know as their nurse, governess and playmate, when she is in their absense or after their bedtime, ordered to the chamber of one of the young masters, there to dance lasciviously before him, and then to be had, and as a slave.
Context determines much. If a young man is giving a proper
and refined dinner, his girl, modestly attired, will commonly serve it,
shyly and deferentially, quietly and self-effacingly, as befits a slave.
She may even draw commendations from his mother, pleased that he has purchased
such a modest, useful girl. In a dinner given for his rowdy male
companions, of course, in which even unmixed wines might be served, she,
obedient, writhing and sensuous, is quite a different girl. Perhaps he
has even purchased her some training, from local slave masters. His
guests, uncontrolled in their desire, driven half mad with passion, will
mightily envy him his girl. Perhaps he, in Gorean hospitality, will share
her with them, but, in the end, when they have gone, it is at the foot
of his own couch that she, licking and kissing, and begging, will be chained."
"...Interestingly, what counts as slave garments and
what does not, is apparently a culturally influenced phenomenon. Goreans,
unhesitantly, regard such things as the brassiere and panties, or panty
hose, as slave garments. This may be because such garments have been associated
with Earth females brought to Gorean slave markets, garments which are
sometimes permitted the girls during the early portion of their sale, or,
perhaps, independently, because they are soft, sensual and slavelike. Earth
girls who don such garments might be interested to know then that they
are putting things on their bodies which on Gor are taken to be the garments
of slaves.
The main purpose of slave garments, of course, is not particularly to clothe the girl, for she need not even be clothed, as she is an animal, but to, as I have suggested, "set her off." In this sense slave garments may be as resplendent and complex as the robes of an enslaved Ubara, to be removed by the general who has captured her upon a platform of public humiliation, or as simple as the cords on a girl's wrists and a piece of rope knotted on her throat.
Additional functions of slave garments, of course, other than those of displaying the girl and making it clear to all how desirable she is, are to remind her, clearly, that she is a slave, which is useful in her discipline, and, also, interestingly, to stimulate, intensify and deepen her sexuality. It is impossible for a woman to dress and act as a slave, and be enslaved, in full legality, and not, sooner or later, understand that she is really what she seems to be, a slave. The master, meanwhile, of course , keeps her under discipline, uses her frequently and often casually, and forces her to undergo the abuses proper to her degraded condition."
Camisk
A rough rectangle of cloth, worn like a poncho and belted
at the waist. The Turian camisk is shaped like an inverted "T" and is tied
behind the girl's neck, her back and in front at the waist.
"She wore only a single garmet, a long, narrow rectangle of rough, brown material, perhaps eighteen inches in width, drawn over her head like a poncho, falling in front and back a bit above her knees and belted at the waist with a chain."ChainsOutlaw of Gor, page 102 "The Turian camisk, on the other hand, if it were to be laid out on the floor, would appear somewhat like an inverted "T" in which the bar of the "T" would be beveled on each side. It is fastened with a single cord. The cord binds the girl at three points, behind the neck, behind the back, and in front at the waist. The garment itself, as might be supposed, fastens behind the girls neck, passes before her, fastens between her legs, and is then lifted and, folding the two sides of the "T's" bar about her hips, ties in front. The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover the girl's brand; on the other hand, unlike the common camisk, it leaves the back uncovered and can be tied, and is, snugly, the better to disclose the girl's beauty."
*Nomads of Gor, page 90 "One city in which the common camisk is favored, generally, is Tharna."
*Guardsmen of Gor, page 108

Kes
A short, sleeveless tunic of black leather
"For a male slave, or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather."SilksNomads of Gor, page 30
"....both girls wore the Sirik, a light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters; it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand,the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain,at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets; at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which,when closed about her ankles,lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor; the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer; perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately; this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash."Ta-Teera:Nomads of Gor, page 42 "She lifted up some loops of chain; there were linked ankle rings and linked wrist rings and a lock collar, all connected by a length of gleaming chain running from the collar. It was rather lovely...'Sirik,' said Eta.
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 83
*
"Eta pulled at the bit of rag she wore. 'Ta-Teera,' she said. I looked down at the scrap of rag, outrageously brief, so scandalous, so shameful, fit only for a slave girl, which I wore. I smiled. I had been placed in a Ta-Teera."Tunic:Slave Girl of Gor, page 81 "It was with joy, later in the morning, that I felt, thrown against my body by my master, a bit of brown cloth. It was a few threads, fit for a bond girl...Joyfully I drew on the garment, slipping it over my head, and fastened it, more tightly about me by the two tiny hooks on the left. The slit made the garment a rather snug one, easier to slip into; the two hooks, when fastened, naturally increased the snugness of the garment, drawing it quite closely about the breasts and hips, deliciously then, from the point of view of a man, the girl's figure is betrayed and accentuated; also the two hooks do not close the slit on the left completely, but permit men to gaze upon the sweet slave flesh pent, held captive within."
*Slave Girl of Gor, pages 75-76 "One of the most exciting slave garments, if a slave is permitted clothing, is the Ta-Terra or, as it is sometimes called, the slave rag. This is analogous to the tunic, but it is little more, and intentionally so, than a rag or rags. In it the girl is in no doubt as the whether or not she is a slave. Some cities don not wish girls in Ta-Teeras to be seen publically on the streets. Some masters put their girls in such garments only when they are camping, or in the wild. Others, of course, may prescribe the Ta-Teera for their girls when they are within their own compartments."
*Guardsmen of Gor, page 107
*
"I wore a brief, one-piece brown work tunic. It was all I wore, with the exception of the collar. We wore such tunics when engaged as work slaves. The tunics of work slaves are usually brown or gray."Slave Girl of Gor, page 265 It was a sleeveless tunic pullover of brown rep cloth. It was generously notched on both sides at the hem, which guarantees an additional baring of its occupants flanks."
*Magicians of Gor, page 21

Slave dress among the Red Hunters:
"Before he had left, he had them sew northern garments for themselves, under his instruction. From the furs and hides among the spoils at the wall they had cut and sewn for themselves stockings of lartskin and shirts of hide, and a light and heavy parka, each hooded and rimmed with lart fur. Too, they had made the high fur boots of the northern woman and the brief panties of fur, to which the boots, extending to the crotch, reach. On the hide shirts and parkas he had made them sew a looped design of stitching at the left shoulder, which represented binding fiber. This designated the garments as those of beasts. A similar design appeared on each of the other garments. About their throats now, too, they wore again four looped strings, each differently knotted, by means of which a red hunter might, upon inspection, determine that their owner was Imnak."Slave dress among the Red Savages:Beasts of Gor, page 176
*
"About her throat, narrow, sturdy and closely fitting, was a steel collar. I stepped back that I might see her better. She wore a short, fringed, beaded shirtdress. This came up high on her thighs. It was split to her waist, revealing the sweetness and loveliness of her breasts. It was belted upon her with a doubly looped, tightly knotted rawhide string. Such a string is more than sufficient, in its length, and in the strength and toughness, to tie a woman a number of ways. She was barefoot. About her left ankle there was, about two inches high, a beaded cuff, or anklet. Her garb was doubtless intended to suggest the distinctive, humiliating and scandalously brief garment in which red savages are sometimes pleased to place their white slaves."Slave dress in the Tahari:Savages of Gor, page 102
*
"Following him was a woman, in a black haik. Suddenly I was startled. As she passed me, her stride small and measured, I head the clink of a light chain, the sound of ankle bells. She was a slave....Beneath the haik, I supposed her collared, naked."Slave dress in Tovoldsland:Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 "The haik, black, covers the woman from head to toe. At the eyes, there is a tiny bit of black lace, through which she may see. On her feet were soft, black, nonheeled slippers with curled toes; they were decorated with a line of silver thread."
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 44
*
"I saw four small milk bosk grazing on short grass. In the distance, above the acres, I could see mountains, snowcapped. A flock of verr, herded by a maid with a stick, turned bleating on the sloping hillside. She shaded her eyes. Se was blond; she was barefoot; she wore an ankle-length white kirtle of white wool, sleeveless, split to her belly; about her neck I could see a dark ring."Slave dress among the Wagon Peoples:Marauders of Gor, page 81 "If you are washed and readied" said a young thrall, collared in a kirtle of white wool, "it is permissible to present yourself before the high seat of the house, before my master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland."
*Marauders of Gor, page 194
*
"Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long , narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak is then donned; it is a short sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the koora, a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the koora, worn loose. For a male slave or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather."Nomads of Gor, page 30
*
Brands/Branding:
All slave girls are usually branded; most as soon as
possible...there are a variety of brands found on Gor; the most common
being the Gorean cursive 'K' for kajira. The dina brand is also noted.
The Wagon Peoples favored a brand of the sign of the the four bosk horns,
while in Torvoldsland, a brand symbolizing "a woman whose belly lies under
the sword" is used. There is also the Taharic slave mark....a girl can
wear any of these brands...as well as penalty brands for lying, stealing,
etc...
"The most common brand site on a Gorean slave girl is the outer side of the left thigh, closely beneath the hip. In this brand site the identificatory mark is thus placed high enough to be covered by a brief cloth of a common slave tunic and is available for convenient and immediate inspection if the tunic is lifted."Collars:Savages of Gor, pages 108-109 "I had siezed her, half lifted her, and turned her from side to side, examining her slim, attractive thighs for the tiny brand which would confirm the matter. The most common brand sites, that on the left thigh, the favorite, and that on the right thigh, lacked slave marks. This determination, given the nature of her gamenture, could be instantly made. I then put her on her feet. "Oh!" she said. She was not branded on the lower left abdomen. That is perhaps the third most favored brand site. I then checked several other brand sites, such as the inside of the forearms, the left side of the neck, behind and below the left ear, the backs of her legs, and her buttocks. I even examined the insteps of her left and right feet. Her body was not branded."
*Renegades of Gor, page 124 " 'I see you like a left-thigh-branded girl,' said Hassan."
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 337 "Her brand, however, was not precisely the same as mine. It was more slender, more vertical, more like a stem with floral, cursive loops, about an inch and half in height, and a half inch in width; it was, I would later learn, the initial letter in cursive script of the Gorean expression 'Karjia'; my own brand was the 'dina'; the dina is a small, lovely, mutiply petaled flower, short-stemmed, and blooming in the a turf of green leaves, usually on the slopes of hills, in the northern temperate zones of Gor; in its budding, though in few other ways, it resembles a rose."
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 61 "With a heavy glove, Hassan pulled an iron from the brazier. "What do you think of this brand?" he asked. It was the Taharic slave mark. "It is beautiful," I said. "But let us assure ourselves that this will be a common slave, one fit to sell north." "A good idea," said Hassan. He returned the one iron to the brazier and reached for another. It glowed red. It was a fine iron, clean and precise. At it's tip, bright red, was the common Kajira slave mark of Gor. "
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 337 "May I see your brand?" I asked. I was curious. "Of course," said Ena, and she stood up and, extending her left leg, drew her long, lovely white garment to her hip, revealing her limb. I gasped. Incised deeply, precisely, in that slim, lovely, now-bared thigh was a startling mark, beautiful, insolent, dramatically marking that beautiful thigh as that which it now could only be, that of a female slave. "It is beautiful," I whispered. " "Can you read?" she asked. "No," I said. She regarded the brand. "It is the first letter, in crusive script," she said, "of the name of the city of Treve."
*Captive of Gor, page 277 "Sometimes, too" she said, "a girl may be branded as punishment, and to warn others against her." I looked at her, puzzled. "Penalty brands," she said. "They are tiny, but clearly visible. There are various such brands. There is one for lying and another for stealing."
*Captive of Gor, page 277 "Yet the most profound consequences of the brand seem to be less social than intensely individual, personal and psychological; the brand, almost instantaneously, transforms the deepest consciousness of a girl; I resolved to fight these feelings, to keep my personhood, even wearing a brand. I lay confined in bonds. I could scarcely move. But I suspected, and truly, the mightiest bond I wore was not the strict, confining loops on my wrists or belly but the newly incised brand on my body; later, I suspected, even if coils of rope and heavy chains might be heaped upon me, or I should be confined in cells or kennels, the most complete and inescapbable shackle placed upon me would nonetheless be always that delicate, feminine design, that small, loevely flower, resembling a rose, burned into the flesh of my upper left thigh."
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 60 "The brand of the Tuchuk slave , incidently, is not the same as that used in the cities, which for girls is the first letter of the expression Kajirain cursive script, but the sign of the four bosk horns, that of the Tuchuk standard , the brand of the four bosk horns, set in a manner to somewhat resemble the letter H, is only about an inch high."
*Nomads of Gor, page 62 "The brand is normally concealed by the briefly skirted slave livery of Gor, but of course, when the camisk is worn, it is always visible, reminding the girl and others of her station. The brand itself, in the case of girls, is a rather graceful mark, being the initial letter of the Gorean expression for salve in cursive script. If a male is branded, the same initial is used but rendered in a block letter."
*Outlaw of Gor, page 187 "The brand is to be distinguished from the collar, though both are a designation of slavery. The primary significance of the collar is that it identifies the master and his city. The collar of a given girl maybe be changed countless times, but the brand continues throughout to bespeak her status."
*Outlaw of Gor, page 187 "Most simply the brand is supposed to convince the girl that she is truly owned. It is supposed to make her feel owned. When the iron is pulled away and she knows the pain and degradation and smells the odor of her burned flesh, she is supposed to tell herself, understanding its full and terrible import, I AM HIS."
*Outlaw of Gor, page 187 "I noted her brand. It was a southern brand, the first letter in the cursive script, or Kajira, the most common expression for a Gorean female slave."
*Marauders of Gor, page 166 "All over Gor, of course, the slave girl is a familiar commodity. The brand used by the Forkbeard, found rather frequently in the North, consisted of a half circle, with, at it's right tip, adjoining it, a steep diagonal line. The half circle is about and inch and a quarter in height. The brand is, like many, symbolic, in the north, the bond-maid is sometimes referred to as a woman whose belly lies beneath the sword."
*Marauders of Gor, page 87
*
"The brand is to be distinguished from the collar, though both are a designation of slavery. The primary significance of the collar is that it identifies the master and his city. The collar of a given girl maybe be changed countless times, but the brand continues throughout to bespeak her status."Binding of Various Types:Outlaw of Gor, page 187 COLLAR LOCKS:
*
"The small, heavy lock on a girl's slave collar, incidentally, may be one of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety. In a girl's collar lock there would be six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter of the Gorean word for female slave, kajira; the male slave, or kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually with other male slaves."Assassin of Gor, page 51 THE TURIAN COLLAR:
*
"The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring, it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girl's neck. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her master."Nomads of Gor, page 16 NORTHERN VS COLLAR:
*
"...I took it from these indications, she had learned her collar in the south; probably originally it had been a lock collar, snugly fitting, of steel; now of course, it had been replaced with the riveted collar of black iron, with the projecting ring, so useful for running a chain through, or padlocking, or linking on an anvil with a chain. The southern collar commonly lacks such a ring; the southern ankle ring, however, has one, and sometimes two, one in the front and one in the back."Marauders of Gor, page 166 KUR COLLAR:
*
"From my pouch I drew forth a leather Kur collar, with its lock, and sewn in leather, its large, rounded ring.
'What is it?' she asked apprehensively.
I took it behind her neck, and then, closing it about her throat, thrust the large, flattish bolt, snapping it into the lock breech. The two edges of metal, bordered by the leather, fitted closely together. The collar is some three inches in height. The girl must keep her chin up.
'It is the collar of a Kur cow,' I told her."Marauders of Gor, page 275 " On the throat of each, was a lustrously polished silver collar, and on the left wrist of each, locked, with a chain loop should one desire to secure them, a matching bracelet. Both girls of course were barefoot."
*Fighting Slave of Gor, page 276
*
Chastity Belt:Beads, Bells, Make-up, Etc:
"She also wore an iron belt. This belt consisted of two major pieces, one was a rounded, fitted, curved barlike waistband, flattened at the ends; one end of this band, that on the right, standing behind the woman and looking forward, had a heavy semicircular ring, or staple, welded onto it; the other flattened end of the waistband, looking forward, had a slot in it which fitted over the staple; the other major portion of this belt consisted of a curved band of flat, shaped iron; one end of this flat band was curved about, and closed about, the barlike waistband in the front; this produces a hinge; on the other end of this flat band of iron is a slot; it fits over the same staple as the slot in the flattened end of the left side of the barlike waistband. The belt is then put on the woman in this fashion. The waistband is closed about her, the left side, its slot penetrated by the staple, over the right side; the flat U-shaped band of iron, controured to female intimacies, is then swung up on its hinge, between her thighs, where the slot on its end is penetrated by the staple, this keeping the parts of the belt in place. The whole apparatus is then locked on her, the tongue of the padlock thrust through the staple, the lock then snapped shut."Kajira of Gor, page 103 Blanketing a Slave:
*
"I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket, over her, covering her completely. When a blanket or cloak, or covering of any sort, is thrown over a slave like this she may not speak or rise. She must remain as she is, silent, until the master, or some free man, lifts the covering away."Explorers of Gor, page 94 Northern Yoke:
*
"The Northern yoke is either of wood or bone, and is drilled in three places. The one Thistle wore was of wood. It was not heavy. It passed behind her neck at which point one of the drilled holes occurred. The other two holes occurred at the terminations of the yoke. A leather strap is knotted about the girl's wrist, passed through the drilled hole at one end of the yoke, usually that on her left, taken up through the hole behind the neck, looped twice about her neck, threaded back down the end, usually the one on her right, and tied about her right wrist. She is thus fastened to the yoke. From each end of the yoke hung a large sack."Beasts of Gor, page 196 Walking Chains (in the Tahari):
*
"The use of a light walking chain, tethering the ankles, meant to be worn abroad, accompanying the master, incidentally, is not uncommon in the regions of the Tahari. A beautifully measured gait is thought, in the Tahari, to be attractive in a woman."Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 "I paused before a given stall, where light walking chains were being sold. They were strung over racks rather like parrot perches. Without much haggling, I bought one, which seemed to me pretty. They are adjustable, with rings, from a length as small as two inches, for security, to a stride length of about twenty inches. Two keys are provided, each of which fits both ankle-ring locks."
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 49 Other Chains:
*
"She wore on her throat a high, gold collar, with, in front, a large golden loop, some two inches in width. Threaded through this loop was a golden chain. This chain terminated, at each end, with high, golden slave bracelets. When the girl stands her hands may fall naturally at her sides, each in its bracelet, each bracelet attached to the same chain, which passes through the collar loop. It is a very beautiful way of chaining a girl."Beasts of Gor, page 79 Slave Girdle Used as Binding Fibers:
*
"...the cord over Marcus' shoulder, of course; was a slave girdle, which is used to adjust the garment on the slave. Such girdles may be tied in various ways, usually in such ways as to enhance the occupants figure. Such girdles, too, like the binding fibers with which a camisk is usually secured on a girl, may be used to bind her."Magicians of Gor, page 21 Slave Hobble:
*
The slave hobble consists of two rings, one for a wrist, the other for an ankle, joined by about seven inches of chain. In a right-handed girl, such as either Aphris or Elizabeth, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. When the girl kneel, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or free, it is not uncomfortable."Nomads of Gor, pages 154-155 Slave Ring:
*
"He thrust the dark-haired girl to her knees by the seventh collar and snapped it about her neck, turning the key, locking it. It gave her about a two-foot length of chain, fastened to a slave ring bolted into the stone."Assassin of Gor, page 8 Thumb Cuffs:
*
"I noted one girl on the landing. From the way she held her hands behind her back I could tell that she was in thumb cuffs. These are handy devices. They are light and take up little space in a warrior's pack."Renegades of Gor, page 326
*
"She carried, in her hands, serveral strings of beads, simple necklaces, with small, wooden, colored beads. They were not valuable. She held the necklaces up for me to see. Then, with her finger, moving them on their string, she indicated the tiny, colored, wooden beads.Bells:
'Da Bina,' she said, smiling. Then she lifted a necklace, looking at it. 'Bina,' she said. I then understood the "Bina" was the expression for beads, or for a necklace of beads.Slave Girl of Gor, page 81 "I took from the chest a string of pearls, then one of the pieces of gold, then one of the rubies.
*
'Bina?' I asked, each time. Eta laughed.
'Bana,' she said, 'Ki Bana. Bana.'...
The most exact translation of 'bina' would probably be 'slave beads.' They were valueless, save for being a cheap adornment sometimes permitted imbonded wenches."Slave Girl of Gor, pages 81-82
*
"She threw a linkage of rings and bells to the tiles beside me. 'Bell yourself,' she said.Make-up/Jewelries:
'They lock,' I said.
'Bell yourself, 'she said.
I extended my left ankle and, carefully, aligned the four rings. The rings were linked vertically at five places by tiny metal fastenings; each ring, opened, hinged, terminated on one end with a bolt and the other with a tiny lock; I slipped the small bolts into the tiny locks; there were four tiny snaps; the rings, linked together, fitted snugly; each ring bor five slave bells.Slave Girl of Gor, page 259 "...sometimes signal their availability to possible swains by belling their left ankles with a single 'virgin bell.' The note of this bell, which is bright and clear, is easily distinguished from those of the degrading, sensual bells of the slave."
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 "...she wore bells locked on both wrists, and on both ankles, thick cuffs and anklets, each with a double line of bells, fastened by steel and key."
*Nomads of Gor, page 29 "I also purchased a set of slave bells, of the thong as opposed to the lock variety. They are less expensive than the lock variety, also, they may be tied at various places on the body, about the neck, the wrists, the ankle, about the thigh, about the arm, etc; it is delightful to bell a girl, she may not remove them, of course, without her master's permission."
*Tribesmen of Gor, page 49
*
" 'Do you know the arrangements of pleasure silks?' she asked.Pierced Ears/Noses:
'No Mistress,' I said, putting down my head.
'Do you know the cosmetics and perfumes of a slave girl, and their application?' she asked.
'No Mistress,' I said.
'The jewelries?' she asked.
'No Mistress,' I said."Slave Girl of Gor, page 261 " ' There are one hundred and eleven basic shades of slave lipstick,' said Sucha. 'Much depends on the mood of the master.' "
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 261 "The girls cried out nervously, making last minute additions or adjustments to their jewelries and silks. Some intently applied cosmetics."
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 261 "I looked at the incredibly lovely girl in the mirror, she bedecked in a rope of red silk, made-up, perfumed, vulnerable, soft, with armlets and bracelets, golden beads intertwined in the Turian collar."
*Slave Girl of Gor, page 261
*
For the most part, pierced ears on a woman mark her as slave. Culturally, it is a permanent, public sign of bondage."Too, I thought I would, before giving her to such a taverner, have her ears pierced. This would, in effect, guarantee that she would remain always only a slave on Gor. Gorean men find pierced ears, as do many men of Earth, stimulatory. To the Gorean such ear-piercing speaks blatantly of bondage. Penetration of a woman's flesh is publically symbolized, in her very body; the wounds inflicted on her were intended and deliberate; and her body has now been prepared to bear, fastened in its very flesh, barbaric ornamentation. These things all speak to the Gorean of the female slave."
Blood Brothers of Gor, page 48 "To Gorean eyes, the piercing of the ears, this visible set of wounds, inflicted to facilitate the mounting of sensual and barbaric ornamentations, is customarily regarded as being tantamount, for most practical purposes, to a sentence of irrevocable bondage. Normally ear-piercing is done only to the lowest and most sensuous of slaves. It is regarded, by most Goreans, as being far more humiliating and degrading to a woman than the piercing of a girl's septum and the consequent fastening on her of a nose ring....On behalf of the nose ring, too, it should be mentioned that among the Wagon Peoples, even free women wear such rings. This however, is unusual on Gor. The nose ring, most often, is worn by a slave...The nose ring too, of course, makes clear to the girl that she is a domestic animal. Many domestic animals on Gor wear them."
