Positions/Commands

There are some basic positions and commands that all Gorean slaves must know. These are described in basic terms and have all the necessary elements. The trick is to take these elements and weave your description and yourpersonality into it. Do not copy another slave's description; although people say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; here on Gor the slaves see it differently and will not look too kindly on a sister slave using her words.

Nadu
This is the most basic of all the positions. This is the position a slave is in most of the time. She kneels before her Master, her head held high, eyes downcast, knees spread wide open, shoulders back keeping her back straight (or arched slightly), breasts thrust outward. Her hands lie on her thighs, palms facing upward.

"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, Page 70-71

Tower Slave Position
There is another variation of Nadu in which she kneels the same way, but with her palms down and her knees modestly together. This variation is referred to as Tower Slave Position and is typically reserved for underage or white-silk slavegirls, or slavegirls who serve their Master in a non-sexual way, such as a Tower Slave or female Work Slave.

The Gorean Male, at ease, usually sits cross-legged and the female kneels, resting back on her heals. the position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika now knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding.
Priest Kings of Gor, Page 46

Sula
This position is self explanatory. She lays on her back, her hands at her sides, palms facing upward. Her legs are spread wide open...she awaits Master's inspection.

"Sula, Kajira!" said the man.
She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, legs open."

Explorers of Gor, Page 77

Bara
This position is used for a variety of reasons, sometimes as punishment. She lays on her stomach, face down and turned to the left with her wrists crossed behind her back. Her ankles are crossed, as well, as if for binding.

"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, Page 77

Belly
This position is used for varied reasons, one of them being that it just pleases the Master. She falls to the floor face down, her forehead resting flat on the surface her arms at her sides with her legs widely spread and crawls to the Master on her belly.

"On your belly," I said. She backed off a bit , and went to her belly. Her hair was before her face, as she now on her belly before me looked up at me."
Mercenaries of Gor, Page 441

Crawl
This is very similar to belly but there are differences. She gets down on all fours, palms to elbows are flat on floor, her ass in the air with her forehead close but not touching the floor and crawls to just an inch from the Master's feet.

"I pointed to the stones at my feet. 'Crawl,' I said, in Gorean.
The girl slipped to her belly, and, as a slave girl, crawled to my feet. She put her lips to my foot; I felt her hair over it."

Tribesmen of Gor, Page 78

Gorean Bow
This position is very painful to maintain for longer than 5 minutes. She kneels in nadu position and bends her body backwards, her head to the floor, she places her hands by her head, and pulls up into a back bend.

"He thrust her two wrists, before her body, into the ring he had cut from the Kur. He then tied them inside, and to, the ring. He then, from his belt, took a long length of binding fiber and, doubling it, looped it, securing it, at its center to the ring, leaving two long ends. He then threw her, on her back, over the body, head down, of the fallen Kur. He took the two loose ends of the binding fiber and, taking them under the body of the fallen Kur, dragged her wrists, elbows bent, over and above her head; he then, bending her knees, tied one of the loose ends about her left ankle, and the other about her right. It was the Gorean love bow."
Marauders of Gor, Page 261

Lesha
This position is used to attach a leash. She kneels, her back to her Master, with her chin lifted and head turned to the left, offering her collar for leashing. Her wrists are behind her back, ready, if needed, to be snapped into slave bracelets.

"Lesha, Collaring, 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, Page 76

Bracelets
This position is used to put on slave bracelets for chaining the slave. A common place to chain slaves is to their Master's bed or at a Tavern there are rings in the walls that a Master may use to attach a slave to while he goes about his business. She places her hands behind her back, her shoulders pushed back and her breasts thrust outward, her hands clasped tightly behind her back...ready for bracelets to be placed on her.

"Bracelets, he snapped. She put her head in the air and placed her hands behind her back."
Hunters of Gor, Page 146

Collaring Position
Also called "the Position of Female Submission." She kneels at the Master's feet and leans her body back, sitting upon her heels, with her arms extended upward, crossed at the wrists, and her head beneath them lowered in supplication.

"Then, to my astonishment, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, knelt before me, a simple warrior of Ko-ro-ba, and lowered her head, lifting and extending her arms, wrists crossed. It was the submission of the captive female. Without raising her eyes from the ground, the daughter of the Ubar said in a clear, distinct voice: `I submit myself.'

I was speechless for a moment, but then, remembering that harsh Gorean custom required me either to accept the submission or slay the captive, I took her wrists in my hands and said, `I accept your submission.'"
Tarnsman of Gor, Page 93-94

Submission
She kneels, bending at the waist, places her cheek to the floor, takes the Master's right foot and places it upon her neck, placing her arms behind her back, crossing them at the wrist.

"She looked deeply into his eyes. then, delicately, in a graceful gesture, she turned her hands, putting their backs to the floor, exposing her palms, and the soft flesh of her palms, to him, indicating her surrender, her submission, her vulnerability and her readiness."
Rogue of Gor, Page 191

Obedience Position
She goes to the floor, laying upon her stomach, face down before the Master. She turns her head and places her cheek against his feet, kissing them lightly in a gesture of love and submission.

"I flung myself to my belly in the grass, putting my hands behind me, wrists crossed, and crossing my ankles, too.

I lay there in confusion, in obedience.
Dancer of Gor, Page 475

Obeisance
This is used when waiting to enter a room. She kneels and touches her forehead to the floor stretching her arms out before her with palms face down and fingers spread.

"At his entrance Susan put the palms of her hands on the floor and lowered her head to the tiles, assuming a position of slave obeisance common with her in the presence of her master."
Kajira of Gor, Page 157

Whipping Position
She first assumes the Nadu position, though with her arms crossed in front of her. She then leans forward and places her head to the floor, first sweeping her hair forward over her shoulders in order that her back might be utterly exposed to the whip.

"I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet... 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, Page 200

Hair Position
She stands, her feet flat on the floor, and bows gracefully at the waist, that her hair might fall forward for display, or to be shorn, seized, or used for any purpose that the Master desires.

"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 customes had been thorough. But she never thought that such a gesture would be used to her. She came beside me, and a bit behaind 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, Page 409

Slaver's Kiss or Caress Position
She falls to the floor upon all fours, and lowers her head to the ground, with her buttocks thrust upward and her thighs widely spread, exposing her hindquarters fully in preparation for the caress of the leather against her body.

"Then taking the whip from the whip slave the auctioneer stepped to the disconsolate girl; suddenly, without warning, he administered to her the Slaver’s caress, the whip caress, and her response was utterly, and uncontrollably, wild, helpless."
Assassin of Gor, Page 294-295

She-Sleen Position
Also known as "assuming the modality of the she-quadruped." She falls to her hands and knees, her head down on the floor, her hindquarters thrust high for viewing and/or her Master's pleasure. "Serving in the modality of the she-quadruped" is an instruction whereby the slave performs her regular duties upon hands and knees, without the benefit of the use of her hands. In this mode she may not rise to her feet and may use only her mouth and teeth to grasp and manipulate objects.

"In this discipline the female is forbidden human speech. She is also forbidden human posture, in the sense that she is not allowed to rise to her feet. Her locomotion, unless commanded to roll, or put under similar commands, suitable for a pet, will be on all fours. Her food will be thrown to her, or put in pans on the ground. In either case, she must feed without the use of her hands. She may also, of course, be fed by hand, but, again, will not be permitted to touch the food with her hands. She may be taught tricks. Sometimes these are taught as functions of arbitrary sounds, so that she must learn them as any animal might, without the benefit of an earlier understanding of the word used. If she is slow to learn, of course, she is punished, as would be any other animal. When used, too, it will commonly be in the modality of the she-quadrupled. This discipline is often used as a punishment, but it may figure in the training of a new girl. It helps her to understand what she now is, an animal totally subject to her master."
Mercenaries of Gor, Page 215

Leading Position
She stands and moves behind her Master, bending at the waist. She places her hands behind her and puts the side of her head to her Master's hip, that he might lead her easily by the hair or collar while walking.

"Her master seized her from the circle then and hurried her from the light, her head down, held by the hair, at his left hip. This is a common leading position for female slaves being conducted short distances. As the master holds her hair in the left hand, it leaves his right hand, commonly the sword hand, free."
Magicians of Gor, Page 46

Heel Command
She goes to Master and kneels behind his left foot, awaiting his movement whereupon she stays to his left and slightly behind him following him as he moves.

"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, Page 381

Walk Command
When this command is given, she turns in a graceful pirouette, her hair swinging. She then walks, gliding across the room, her feet hardly seeming to leave the floor, her hips swaying sensually, her body erect and proud. When she reaches her objective she halts and stands, her body erect, her shoulders back, her chest thrust forward, her belly in. She turns her hip out a bit, her hands at her sides, and points one foot. Her head is up and her eyes are lowered.

"I can walk with my head down, as a slave, said Tarna.
Most female slaves, said Hassan, walk very proudly. They are proud of their slavery, and their mastery by men."

Tribesmen of Gor, Page 332-333

Run Command
When this command is given, she runs toward her objective, taking short rapid steps, with her legs almost straight, her feet hardly leaving the floor. As she moves her back is straight, her head is turned to the left, and her arms are at her sides, her palms facing outward at a 45 degree angle to her body. Upon reaching her objective she drops gracefully to her knees and typically resumes the position of nadu.

"I was amused, for she had run as a slave girl is sometimes taught to run, with rapid short steps, her legs almost straight, head turned to the left, arms at her sides, palms out at a forty-five degree angle, more of a dancer’s motion than a true run."
Assassins of Gor, Page 45

Slave Lips
When this command is given, she turns her head up to the Master, her lips pursed in a sensual kissing position. She remains motionless, her lips thusly puckered, and may not move until she is granted the kiss of a Master.

"Similarly, I was not required to respond to certain sorts of commands, for example, to make "slave lips," pursing my lips for kissing, or to writhe slowly before my viewers."
Kajira of Gor, Page 224
