Cruelty:
...free women, it is no secret, in many respects, envy their enslaved sisters, their beauty, their joy, their attractiveness to men; this may explain why free women are often quite cruel to slave girls. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 97
Cruelty:
Free women are often cruel to beautiful female slaves. They put us under terrigying discipline. Perhaps they sense in us something of greater interest to men than themselves, something which constitutes to them a threat, something which is subtly competitive, and successfuly so, to them. ~ Slave Girl, pgs. 291-291
Hatred:
"There are few things a female slave fears more than a free female. Female slaves, so helpless in their collars, so much at the mercy of any free person whatsoever, live in terror of such females, for they know that they despise and hate them." ~ Mercenaries, pg. 328
Hatred:
It is sometimes hard to understand the hatred of the free female for her imbonded sister. It has to do…with the venomous jealousy of a woman who has taken an unhappy, path, a road commended to her by many but one which she discovered leads only to her ultimate frustration, misery and lack of fulfillment. No woman is truly happy until she occupies her place in the order or nature. ~ Mercenaries, pg. 219
Veils:
Some veils are held not with pins but with hooks or cords, passing about the back of the head. Others are a part of the hook itself. With the hooked cords, which can fasten the hood more or less closely about the neck, like a cloak, I fastened the veil in place. She then looked at me, well silenced. ~ Renegades, pg. 90
Veils:
Veils are worn in various numbers and combinations by Gorean free women, this tending to vary by preference and caste. Many low-class Gorean women own only a single veil which must do for all purposes...The veil, it might be noted, is not legally imperative for a free woman; it is rather a matter of modesty and custom. Some low-class, uncompanioned, free girls do not wear veils. Similarly certain bold free women neglect the veil. Neglect of the veil is not a crime in Gorean cities, though in some it is deemed a brazen and scandalous omission. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Veils:
Free women, drinking, commonly lift their veil, or veils, with the left hand. Low-caste free women, if veiled, usually do the same. Sometimes, however, particularly if they are in public, they will drink through their veil, or veils. Sometimes, of course, free women will drink unveiled, even with guests. Much depends upon how well the individuals are known, and who is present. In their homes, of course, with only the members of their families present, or servants and slaves, most free women do not veil themselves, even those of high caste. ~ Fighting Slave, pg. 276
Veils [Unveiled]:
"In some cities an unveiled free woman is susceptible to being taken into custody by guardsmen, veiled, by force if necessary, and publicly conducted back to her home... Repeated offences in such a city usually result in the enslavement of the female." ~ Players, pg. 125
Veils:

Veils [5 Described]:
Eta, from behind me, pinned the first of five beils, about my face. It was light, and shimmering, of white silk, almost transparent. Then, one after the other, she added the freedom veil, or veil of the citizeness, the pride veil, the house veil, and street veil. Each of these is heavier and more opaque then the one which lies within. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Veils [Street]:
The street veil, worn publicly, is extremely bulky, quite heavy and completely opaque: not even the lineaments of the nose and cheeks are discernible when it is worn... ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Veils [House]:
...the house veil is worn indoors when there are those present who are not of the household, as in conversing with or entertaining associates of one's companion. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Veils [Various Numbers And Combinations]:
Veils are worn in various numbers and combinations by Gorean free women, this tending to vary by preference and caste. Many low-class Gorean women own only a single veil which must do for all purposes. Not all high-caste women wear a large number of veils. A free woman, publicly, will commonly wear one or two veils; a frequent combination is the light veil, or last veil, and the house or street veil. Rich, vain women of high caste may wear ostentatiously as many as nine or ten veils. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Veils [Not Legally Imperative]:
The veil, it might be noted, is not legally imperative for a free woman; it is rather a matter of modesty and custom. Some low-=class, uncompanioned, free girls do not wear veils. Similarly certain bold free women neglect the veil. Neglect of the veil is not a crime in Gorean cities, though in some it is deemed a brazen and scandalous omission. ~ Slave Girl, pg. 107
Raiment:
"Free women, in most of the high cities on Gor, particularly those of higher caste, go veiled in public. Also they commonly wear the robes of concealment, which cover them from head to toe. Even gloves are often worn. There are many reasons for this, having to do with modesty, security, and such." ~ Magicians, pg. 12
Raiment:
Many Gorean women, in their haughtiness and pride, do not choose to have their features exposed to the common view. They are too fine and noble to be looked upon by the casual rabble. Similarly the robes of concealment worn by many Gorean women are doubtless dictated by the same sentiments. On the other hand veiling is a not impractical modesty in a culture in where capture, and the chain and the whip are not unknown. One not regarded as inconsiderable, is that it is supposed to provide something of a protection against abduction and perdition. Who would wish to risk his life, it is said, to carry off a woman who might, when roped to a tree and stripped, turn out to be as ugly as a tharlarion? ~ Rogue, pg. ??
Raiment:
"Free women, incidentally, among the Wagon Peoples are not permitted to wear silk: it is claimed by those of the Wagons, delightfully I think, that any women who loves the feel of silk on her body is, in the secrecy of her heart and blood , a slave girl, whether or not some master has yet forced her to don the collar." ~ Nomads, pg. 58
Raiment:
`In Ar's Station,' he said, `as in Ar, robes of concealment, precisely, are not legally obligatory for free women, no more than the veil. Such things are a matter of custom. On the other hand, as you know, there are statutes prescribing certain standards of decorum for free women. For example, they may not appear naked in the streets, as may slaves. Indeed, a free woman who appears in public in violation of these standards of decorum, for example, with her arms or legs too much bared, may be made a slave.' ~ Renegades, pg. 367
Kneeling:
" On Gor, men sit cross-legged, not women. The Gorean female, whether free or slave, whether of low caste or high caste, kneels. This posture on the part of women, aping that of men, is a provocation. I had seen panther girls in the north, in their desire to repudiate their own nature, and in their envy of men, adopt such a posture." ~ Magicians, pg. 118
Kneeling:
"Aphris of Turia, pleased with herself, assumed her place between the merchant and Kamchak, kneeling back on her heels in the position of the Gorean Free Woman. Her back was very straight and her head high, in the Gorean fashion." ~ Nomads, pg. 94
Couching:
"Any free woman who voluntarily couches with another’s slave, or readies herself to do so, becomes the slave of the slave’s master. By such an act, the couching with, or the readying herself to couch with, a slave, as though she might be a girl of the slave’s master, thrown to the slave, she shows herself as no more than a slave, and in this act, in law, becomes a slave." ~ Magicians, pg. 303
Priceless/Worthless:
I had recalled that he had told me that although the use of an inn girl would cost me, in these times, three copper tarsks for only a quarter of an Ahn, I might have the free woman working in the paga room for an Ahn for only a tarsk bit. To be sure, that perhaps overrated her value considerably, as she was only a free woman. Whereas free women, technically, are priceless, that are also, usually, in bed worthless. They are not worthy of kneeling and humbly holding a candle within a thousand pasangs of a slave. To be sure, they commonly hold an inflated opinion of their expertise and desirability. ~ Renegades, pg. 63
Differences From Slaves:
The slave girl is in a totally different category from the free woman. It is the difference between being a person and being property, between being a respected, legally autonomous entity, entitled to dignity and pride, and being a domestic animal. The same fellow who will go to ubsurd lengths to please a free woman, and even make a fool of himself over her, will, even with the same woman, if she has been enslaved, simply gesture her with whip, and without a second thought, to the furs. ~ Renegades, pg. 65
Differences From Slaves:
"One of the major differences between the slave and free sister is that the slave is generally far more sexually fulfilled than her free sister. This is not to say that a slave may not occasionally be made to beg for sex, or that she may not, upon occasion, have to beg for it. These things help her to understand that she has sexual needs, and that whether or not these needs are to be satisfied, is at the option of the master. ~ Dancer, pg. 298
Differences From Slaves:
"How well, if haughtily, she now walked. I considered the walks of free women, and of slaves. How few free women really walk their beauty, perhaps they are ashamed of it, or fear it. Few free women walk in such a way as to display their beauty, as a slave must." "The long garments, usually worn by free women, such as that now worn be Boabissia, might cover certain defects of gait perhaps, but when one’s legs are bared, as a slave’s commonly are, one must walk with beauty and grace. Too, given the scantiness of many slave garments, it is sometimes necessary to walk with exquisite care." ~ Mercenaries, pg. 207
Differences From Slaves:
"As women, there is no comparison between a free women and her imbonded sister. Perhaps that is why free woman so hate slaves. To be sure, there is something to be said of free women. It is enjoyable to capture, enslave and train them. That is interesting. But then in a matter of time, one is not then dealing with a free woman, but another slave." ~ Mercenaries, pg. 319
Differences From Slaves:
"There is a difference" laughed Hassan, "between the pride of a free woman and the pride of the slave girl. The pride of a free woman is the pride of a woman who feels herself to be the equal of a man. The pride of the slave girl is the pride of the girl who knows that no other woman is the equal of herself." ~ Tribesmen, pgs. 332-333
Curiosity About Sex:
Naturally both free women and slaves, as both are women, are very much interested in one another's sexual activities. It is very natural. To be sure, unless the slave is a bred slave, most of this interest is on the part of the free women, for the slaves have usually, at one time or another, been free women, and have a very good idea of how narrow, dull, limited and mediocre is the sex life of the free woman. Indeed, the matter is paradoxical, for free women have a tendency both to inquire eagerly into the behaviours expected of slaves, and enjoined upon them, and, at the same time, commonly profess horror and scandal at what they hear. ~ Renegades, pgs. 403-404
Jealousy:
I saw that she was terribly jealous of the attention which men might bestow upon the slave, but how could that be, for she was, by her account, infinitely superior of the slave, and she was free? ~ Renegades, pg. 84
Jealousy:
" ‘Why are there so few slaves among the wagons?’ I asked. " ‘The free women kill them,’ said Hurtha." "She was exactly the sort of female which, in her helplessness and collar, in her vulnerability and brief tunic, tends to inspire jealous hatred, sometimes bordering almost on madness, in free women, particularly homely and sexually frustrated ones." ~ Dancer, pg. 50
Contempt:
" 'Slave girls, Mistress?' I asked. 'Yes,' she said. 'They are stinking, meaningless, lascivious little sluts who have been slaves in the arms of Gorean men. It has spoiled them for freedom. They are worthless, sensuous little beasts whose passions Gorean men have seen fit, as cruel masters, to ignite. Their sexuality, their shamelessness, their need, their helplessness, makes them an insult to free women.'" ~ Fighting Slave, pg. 63
Social Pressures:
She ties her master's sandals; she looks up at him; she loves; she serves; she is the female. The slave girl, it might be mentioned, in connection with the "releasing effects" of the collar, is relieved of many social pressures to which the free women, because of her freedom, must remain subject. The free woman, for example, may fear that men will learn of her sexual vitality. It would not do for them to know that she, that a lofty creature, on the couch, is a helpless, panting, licking she-sleen. The slave girl, on the other hand, does not have this problem. She knows that she belongs to a category of women toward which respect need not shown, and will not be shown. ~ Guardsman, pg. 210
Feared By Slaves:
"Most slave girls, incidentally, fear free women greatly." ~ Captive, pg. 197
Feared By Slaves:
"Slave girls fear free women muchly. It is almost as if there was some unspoken war between them, almost as if they might be mortal enemies. In such a war, or such an enmity, of course, the slave girl is completely at the mercy of the free person; she is only slave. One of the great fears of a slave girl is that she will be sold to a woman. Free women treat their female slaves with incredible hatred and cruelty. Why this is I do not know. Some say it is because they, the free women, envy the girls their collars and wish that they, too, were collared, and at the complete mercy of masters." ~ Marauders, pg. 154
Most Interesting Thing:
"The most interesting thing about them was that they could be seized and enslaved. After that they might become of real interest to a man. ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Etiquette:
"Some porridge has been spoiled," I said, "It doubtless overflowed the sides of the bowl when you pressed your face into it. That can happen when one feeds too greedily, too enthusiastically. One expects a woman to feed more delicately, more daintily. To be sure you are a free woman, and may eat much as you wish. Still, such feeding habits would disgust a tarsk. If a slave fed anything like that, she would be under the whip within the Ehn." ~ Renegades, pg. 74
Etiquette:
The principle he had alluded to pertains to conduct in a free woman which is take as sufficient to warrant her reduction to slavery. The most common application of the principle occurs in areas such as fraud and theft. Other applications may occur, for example, in cases of indecency and vagrancy. Prostitution, rare on Gor because of female slaves, is another case. The women are taken, enslaved, cleaned up and controlled. Indulgence in sensous dance is another case. Sensuous dance is almost always performed by slaves on Gor. A free woman who preforms such dancing publicly is almost begging for a collar. In some cities the sentence of bondage is mandatory for such a woman. ~ Renegades, pg. 372
Rejection:
"This thing is free!" cried the fellow, giving the Lady Temione another shake. "How dare you send it to my table! I do not want it! Send me a female! Send me a woman! ~ Renegades, pg. 78
Rejection:
Many free women regard themselves, without justification, as marvellous prizes. It can come a great shock to them to suddenly realize they are, for most practical purposes, worthtless. This rejection had shaken her profoundly, Like many free woman she probably regarded herself as inordinately attractive. ~ Renegades, pg. 79
Subjection of Slaves:
I wondered if the free woman really thought that the subjection of slaves to orders ended with such matters as cooking and cleaning, the polishing of leather, and such, and that they would not be similarly subject to orders, and also absolutely, where the intimae, marvellous, precious, private, delicious realms of the furs were concerned. ~ Renegades, pg. 81
Unclothed:
It is one thing for a free woman, tearfully, while in the dignity of robes and veil, to attempt to impose on a fellow's gullibility or good nature, and quite another for her to do so when she is unclothed. When a woman is naked it is sometimes hard for a man not to see her as a female. ~ Renegades, pg. 98
If Enslaved:
"Should you become a slave," I said, "submit yourself to your sisters in bondage, not as one who was recently a free woman but as one who is now the lowest and most ignorant of slaves, the humblest of tyros and novices. Watch them. Learn from them. Serve them. Bring them small treats which you might earn. beg them to help you, to teach you their ways, their arts and secrets. Even such small things as the use of the tongue can make a great difference in whether you survive or not." ~ Renegades, pg. 165
Coin Value:
" ‘This coin,’ I said, ‘when you were put out in the morning if you were used tonight, was to be tied there. It signifies to all who see it that you have served a man. You are given a coin because you are a free woman. That is your payment. To be sure, it is the smallest-denomination coin in common circulation. It is, thus a comment on your value.’ " ~ Mercenaries, pg. 392
Utterance of Master:
"If and when a free woman should utter this, in the Gorean culture, of course, this sort of thing is very significant. Indeed, in some cities such things as kneeling before a man, or addressing him as "Master" effects legal imbondment on the female, being interpreted as a gesture of submission." ~ Players, pg. 139
Seldom Raped:
"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." ~ Guardsman, pg. 184
Harsh Treatment:
"This harsh treatment, incidentally, when she is thought to deserve it, may even be inflicted on a free companion, in spite of the fact that she is free and usually much loved. According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted free woman. Thus when she has been irritable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones, stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to the slave ring precisely as though she were a lowly slave girl. It is the Gorean way of reminding her, should she need to be reminded, that she, too, is a woman, and thus to be dominated, to be subject to men. Should she be tempted to forget this basic fact of Gorean life the slave ring set in the bottom of each Gorean couch is there to refresh her memory. Gor is a mans world." ~ Priest Kings, pg. 67
A Riddle:
"The Free Woman is a riddle, the answer to which is the collar." ~ Magicians, pg. 50
Permitted To Become Unkempt:
The lovely figures of slave girls are not accidents, only Free Women are permitted to become unkempt or gross.~ Guardsman, pg. 264
Envious of Slaves:
Indeed it was known that some free women actually envied their lightly clad sisters in bondage, free, though wearing a collar, to come and go much as they pleased, to feel the wind on the high bridges, the arms of a Master who celebrated their beauty and claimed them as his own. ~ Outlaw, pg. 66
Natural Set of Masters:
"Goreans, in their simplistic fashion, often contend, categorically, that man is naturally free and woman is naturally slave. But even for them the issues are far more complex than these simple formulations would suggest. For example, there is no higher person, nor one more respected, than the Gorean free woman. Goreans do believe, however, that every woman has a natural master or set of masters, with respect to whom she could not help but be a complete and passionate slave girl. These men occur in her dreams and fantasies. She lives in terror that she might meet one in real life." ~ Hunters, pg. 311
Unable to Compete:
"…no free woman, because she is free, can truly compete for the attention of a man as can a slave girl." ~ Fighting Slave, pg. 217
Ignorance:
"An ignorant free woman is a commonplace. An ignorant slave is an absurdity" ~ Savages, pg. 196
Beauty Enhanced In Slavery:
"Any beauty a free woman has, for example, is enhanced a thousandfold when she becomes a slave." ~ Players, pg. 92
Slaves More Desirable:
"In any contest of desirability the free woman must always lose out to the slave" ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Slaves More Interesting:
"The female slave, yours in her servitude, is ten thousand times more interesting than a free woman could ever dream of being" ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Teaching:
"It is pleasant to take a proud free woman and teach her her womanhood" ~ Vagabonds, pg. 58

"As women, there is no comparison between a free women and her imbonded sister. Perhaps that is why free woman so hate slaves. To be sure, there is something to be said of free women. It is enjoyable to capture, enslave and train them. That is interesting. But then in a matter of time, one is not then dealing with a free woman, but another slave." ~ Mercenaries, pg. 319
Differences From Slaves:
"There is a difference" laughed Hassan, "between the pride of a free woman and the pride of the slave girl. The pride of a free woman is the pride of a woman who feels herself to be the equal of a man. The pride of the slave girl is the pride of the girl who knows that no other woman is the equal of herself." ~ Tribesmen, pgs. 332-333
Curiosity About Sex:
Naturally both free women and slaves, as both are women, are very much interested in one another's sexual activities. It is very natural. To be sure, unless the slave is a bred slave, most of this interest is on the part of the free women, for the slaves have usually, at one time or another, been free women, and have a very good idea of how narrow, dull, limited and mediocre is the sex life of the free woman. Indeed, the matter is paradoxical, for free women have a tendency both to inquire eagerly into the behaviours expected of slaves, and enjoined upon them, and, at the same time, commonly profess horror and scandal at what they hear. ~ Renegades, pgs. 403-404
Jealousy:
I saw that she was terribly jealous of the attention which men might bestow upon the slave, but how could that be, for she was, by her account, infinitely superior of the slave, and she was free? ~ Renegades, pg. 84
Jealousy:
" ‘Why are there so few slaves among the wagons?’ I asked. " ‘The free women kill them,’ said Hurtha." "She was exactly the sort of female which, in her helplessness and collar, in her vulnerability and brief tunic, tends to inspire jealous hatred, sometimes bordering almost on madness, in free women, particularly homely and sexually frustrated ones." ~ Dancer, pg. 50
Contempt:
" 'Slave girls, Mistress?' I asked. 'Yes,' she said. 'They are stinking, meaningless, lascivious little sluts who have been slaves in the arms of Gorean men. It has spoiled them for freedom. They are worthless, sensuous little beasts whose passions Gorean men have seen fit, as cruel masters, to ignite. Their sexuality, their shamelessness, their need, their helplessness, makes them an insult to free women.'" ~ Fighting Slave, pg. 63
Social Pressures:
She ties her master's sandals; she looks up at him; she loves; she serves; she is the female. The slave girl, it might be mentioned, in connection with the "releasing effects" of the collar, is relieved of many social pressures to which the free women, because of her freedom, must remain subject. The free woman, for example, may fear that men will learn of her sexual vitality. It would not do for them to know that she, that a lofty creature, on the couch, is a helpless, panting, licking she-sleen. The slave girl, on the other hand, does not have this problem. She knows that she belongs to a category of women toward which respect need not shown, and will not be shown. ~ Guardsman, pg. 210
Feared By Slaves:
"Most slave girls, incidentally, fear free women greatly." ~ Captive, pg. 197
Feared By Slaves:
"Slave girls fear free women muchly. It is almost as if there was some unspoken war between them, almost as if they might be mortal enemies. In such a war, or such an enmity, of course, the slave girl is completely at the mercy of the free person; she is only slave. One of the great fears of a slave girl is that she will be sold to a woman. Free women treat their female slaves with incredible hatred and cruelty. Why this is I do not know. Some say it is because they, the free women, envy the girls their collars and wish that they, too, were collared, and at the complete mercy of masters." ~ Marauders, pg. 154
Most Interesting Thing:
"The most interesting thing about them was that they could be seized and enslaved. After that they might become of real interest to a man. ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Etiquette:
"Some porridge has been spoiled," I said, "It doubtless overflowed the sides of the bowl when you pressed your face into it. That can happen when one feeds too greedily, too enthusiastically. One expects a woman to feed more delicately, more daintily. To be sure you are a free woman, and may eat much as you wish. Still, such feeding habits would disgust a tarsk. If a slave fed anything like that, she would be under the whip within the Ehn." ~ Renegades, pg. 74
Etiquette:
The principle he had alluded to pertains to conduct in a free woman which is take as sufficient to warrant her reduction to slavery. The most common application of the principle occurs in areas such as fraud and theft. Other applications may occur, for example, in cases of indecency and vagrancy. Prostitution, rare on Gor because of female slaves, is another case. The women are taken, enslaved, cleaned up and controlled. Indulgence in sensous dance is another case. Sensuous dance is almost always performed by slaves on Gor. A free woman who preforms such dancing publicly is almost begging for a collar. In some cities the sentence of bondage is mandatory for such a woman. ~ Renegades, pg. 372
Rejection:
"This thing is free!" cried the fellow, giving the Lady Temione another shake. "How dare you send it to my table! I do not want it! Send me a female! Send me a woman! ~ Renegades, pg. 78
Rejection:
Many free women regard themselves, without justification, as marvellous prizes. It can come a great shock to them to suddenly realize they are, for most practical purposes, worthtless. This rejection had shaken her profoundly, Like many free woman she probably regarded herself as inordinately attractive. ~ Renegades, pg. 79
Subjection of Slaves:
I wondered if the free woman really thought that the subjection of slaves to orders ended with such matters as cooking and cleaning, the polishing of leather, and such, and that they would not be similarly subject to orders, and also absolutely, where the intimae, marvellous, precious, private, delicious realms of the furs were concerned. ~ Renegades, pg. 81
Unclothed:
It is one thing for a free woman, tearfully, while in the dignity of robes and veil, to attempt to impose on a fellow's gullibility or good nature, and quite another for her to do so when she is unclothed. When a woman is naked it is sometimes hard for a man not to see her as a female. ~ Renegades, pg. 98
If Enslaved:
"Should you become a slave," I said, "submit yourself to your sisters in bondage, not as one who was recently a free woman but as one who is now the lowest and most ignorant of slaves, the humblest of tyros and novices. Watch them. Learn from them. Serve them. Bring them small treats which you might earn. beg them to help you, to teach you their ways, their arts and secrets. Even such small things as the use of the tongue can make a great difference in whether you survive or not." ~ Renegades, pg. 165
Coin Value:
" ‘This coin,’ I said, ‘when you were put out in the morning if you were used tonight, was to be tied there. It signifies to all who see it that you have served a man. You are given a coin because you are a free woman. That is your payment. To be sure, it is the smallest-denomination coin in common circulation. It is, thus a comment on your value.’ " ~ Mercenaries, pg. 392
Utterance of Master:
"If and when a free woman should utter this, in the Gorean culture, of course, this sort of thing is very significant. Indeed, in some cities such things as kneeling before a man, or addressing him as "Master" effects legal imbondment on the female, being interpreted as a gesture of submission." ~ Players, pg. 139
Seldom Raped:
"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." ~ Guardsman, pg. 184
Harsh Treatment:
"This harsh treatment, incidentally, when she is thought to deserve it, may even be inflicted on a free companion, in spite of the fact that she is free and usually much loved. According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted free woman. Thus when she has been irritable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones, stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to the slave ring precisely as though she were a lowly slave girl. It is the Gorean way of reminding her, should she need to be reminded, that she, too, is a woman, and thus to be dominated, to be subject to men. Should she be tempted to forget this basic fact of Gorean life the slave ring set in the bottom of each Gorean couch is there to refresh her memory. Gor is a mans world." ~ Priest Kings, pg. 67
A Riddle:
"The Free Woman is a riddle, the answer to which is the collar." ~ Magicians, pg. 50
Permitted To Become Unkempt:
The lovely figures of slave girls are not accidents, only Free Women are permitted to become unkempt or gross.~ Guardsman, pg. 264
Envious of Slaves:
Indeed it was known that some free women actually envied their lightly clad sisters in bondage, free, though wearing a collar, to come and go much as they pleased, to feel the wind on the high bridges, the arms of a Master who celebrated their beauty and claimed them as his own. ~ Outlaw, pg. 66
Natural Set of Masters:
"Goreans, in their simplistic fashion, often contend, categorically, that man is naturally free and woman is naturally slave. But even for them the issues are far more complex than these simple formulations would suggest. For example, there is no higher person, nor one more respected, than the Gorean free woman. Goreans do believe, however, that every woman has a natural master or set of masters, with respect to whom she could not help but be a complete and passionate slave girl. These men occur in her dreams and fantasies. She lives in terror that she might meet one in real life." ~ Hunters, pg. 311
Unable to Compete:
"…no free woman, because she is free, can truly compete for the attention of a man as can a slave girl." ~ Fighting Slave, pg. 217
Ignorance:
"An ignorant free woman is a commonplace. An ignorant slave is an absurdity" ~ Savages, pg. 196
Beauty Enhanced In Slavery:
"Any beauty a free woman has, for example, is enhanced a thousandfold when she becomes a slave." ~ Players, pg. 92
Slaves More Desirable:
"In any contest of desirability the free woman must always lose out to the slave" ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Slaves More Interesting:
"The female slave, yours in her servitude, is ten thousand times more interesting than a free woman could ever dream of being" ~ Mercenaries, pg. 346
Teaching:
"It is pleasant to take a proud free woman and teach her her womanhood" ~ Vagabonds, pg. 58
