There are many quotes regarding slaves I'm going to try and simplify things by using quotes I feel are more then just a characters opinion of them I may not totally succeed but here goes
Ok what can I say slaves are delightful possessions. Any good Master cares for his possessions. He cares enough that sometimes he must discipline her. Discipline should NEVER however be done in anger but out of caring. I will state here a few things I would like to see on this Site as far as slaves go.
1) slaves should not be forced into some unnatural mold of an imaginary perfect kajira they should each express themselves in their own way.
2) Pleasure slaves are slaves highly trained in giving pleasure to men. A slave is not a pleasure slave merely cause a Master says so.
3) Although a Master CAN do anything he wishes with a slave only a fool damages his own property on a whim thus depriving himself of it.
I looked to one side and was startled. Watching us was a woman in Pleasure Silk, of remarkable beauty, yet with a certain subtle hardness and contempt about her. She wore a yellow collar, that of the House of Cernus, and yellow Pleasure Silk. The slave bells, a double row, were locked on her left ankle. About her throat there hung a slave whistle. From her right hand, looped about the wrist, there dangled a slave goad. She was fairly complected but had extremely dark hair and dark eyes, very red lips; the movement of her exquisite body was a torment to observe; she looked at me with a slight smile, regarding the black of the tunic, the mark of the dagger; her lips were fu11 and magnificentty turned, probably a characteristic bred into her; I had no doubt this black-haired, cruelly beautiful woman was a bred Passion Slave. She was one of the most rawly sensuous creatures on which I had ever looked.
"I am Sura," she said, looking at me, "I teach girls to give pleasure to men."150 Assassin of Gor to 155
"Surely you grant that your discipline, denying her slave use, was severe."
"She is a slave," I said. "Anything can be done with her."
"By her Master," he said. "Not just anyone."
"True," I said. One did not have the right, for example, to kill or maim the slave of another, any more than any other domestic
animal which might belong to someone else. In this sense the slave is accorded some protection from free persons who do not
own her in virtue of certain general considerations of property law. The power of the master over the slave, on the other hand, is
absolute. He can do whatever he wishes with her. She belongs to him, completely."
-Magicians Of Gor, pg. 330
"'How long have you know you were a slave?' I asked.
'Since I was a young girl,' she said. 'I first discovered it in my thought and dreams, and feelings, and fantasies. But I thought I could never be more than a secret slave at the mercy of a secret master. Then I was brought to gor. Here I wear my collar openly and kneel before my masters for all the world to see."
p. 20 book 15
Some fellows do not brand their slaves,' I said. `That is stupid!' she said. `It is also contrary to the laws of most cities,' I said, `and to merchant law, as well.'" p.188, book 24
The girls are usually branded impersonally, perfunctorily, as cattle..Though they feel their mark intensely physically, it is felt, interestingly, even more intensely, more profoundly, psychologically; not unoften it, in itself, radically transform their self-images, their personalities; they are then only slaves, not permitted their own wills, rightless, at the bidding of masters; the mark in an impersonal designation; this is understood by the girls; when she is marked she understands herself not to be marked by a given man for a given man, to be uniquely his, but rather, so to speak, that she is marked for all men; to all men she is a slave girl; usually, of course, only one among them, at a given time, will be her master; the brand is impersonal;the collar is intensely personal; the brand marks her property; the collar proclaims whose property she is, who it is who has either, or paid for, her; that the brand is an impersonal designations of an absence of status in the social structure in perhaps another reason why masters do not often brand their own girls; the brand relationship to the free man is institutional; the collar relationship, on the other hand, is an intensely personal one; it is not uncommon for masters to pride themselves on the depth with which they know their slave girls..."
Tarnsmen of Gor; page 42.
"How can a girl who is only a slave be of interest?"she asked...
"Your question is foolish" I said. "all men desire a slave or slaves, it is their nature. Thus, that a woman is a slave, even in itself, makes her extraordinarily interesting. Her slavery itself, apart from her intelligence or beauty, is found extremely provocative and exciting to a male,because of his nature."
p 247, book 12
Her toenails were not painted, of course. Such is almost unheard of among Gorean free women and is rare even among slaves. The usual Gorean position on the matter is that toenails and fingernails are not, say, red by nature and thus should not be made to appear as if they were. They also tend to frown upon the dyeing of hair... the reservations about hair coloring are particularly acute in commercial situations. One would not wish to buy a girl thinking she was auburn, a rare and muchly prized hair color on Gor, for example, and then discover later that she was, say, blond. Against such fraud, needless to say, the law provides redress."
pg.186, Vagabonds of Gor
Sometimes in training, incidentally, or as a discipline or punishment, the slave is not permitted to look into the eyes of the master. Indeed, sometimes, in training, she is not permitted to raise her eyes above the belt of the trainer. Also, it must be recognized that many slaves often, and perhaps all slaves sometimes, find it difficult to look into the eyes of the master. He, after all, holds total power over them and they fear to displease him. What if he should interpret her gaze as suggesting the least insubordination or insolence? Are they truly prepared to have the soles of their feet lashed or to live on bread crusts for the next five days? But, on the other hand, there is, on Gor, in circles of the mastery, no discouragement, commonly, of eye contact between masters and slaves.
"Savages of Gor" (page 258)
From the point of view of the master, too, not only is it pleasant to look into the eyes of a slave, but there are certain practical advantages attached to doing so. For example, one might, in her eyes, read desire, and thus order her to perform an act which she, even though a slave, might not have dared to beg to perform, or, say, by looking into her eyes, one might determine if she has been up to something or has neglected something to which she should have attended. Has she been into the sweets? Has she, perhaps gossiping and dawdling with the other girls, been amiss in the discharge of her duties? Perhaps the shopping has not yet been done? Perhaps the laundry has not yet been finished? Such infractions call for discipline.
"Savages of Gor" (page 259)
Indeed, in the deep and profound relationships of love and bondage, such eye contact is usually welcomed and encouraged. What can be understood of the glances of masters and slaves by those who have been united only in lesser relationships? Too, to be sure, from the practical point of view, it is useful for the girl to be able to look into the eyes of the master. In this way she may be able to better read his moods, and desires, and, accordingly, be able the better to serve him, in the process perhaps saving herself a few cuffings and beatings, such as might be garnered by a less alert, more slothful, laxer girl.

"Stand straight," called Grunt to the coffle, which, now, in our pause, had put down its burdens. "Keep your heads up, but do not meet his eyes. It is you who are the merchandise, the beauties, the slaves, not he. It is not yours to examine, but to be examined, not yours to consider, but to be considered."
"Savages of Gor" (page 257)
