			<link>http://counterearthculture.yuku.com/topic/938/t/On-Beauty.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s not dramatic. It&#39;s not ground-breaking. From some angles it&#39;s not even desperately pretty. Mind you, as Francis Bacon said, there is not
beauty that hath not some strangeness about its proportions.&#39; And he&#39;s right, whoever he is. I mean look at Keira Knightley. She&#39;s just an ironing
board with a face. And she works.

			<description><![CDATA[ She had not, of course, offered wine to the men as she might have, in private, to her master, kneeling naked before him, in her collar, touching the cup
variously to her body, pressing it here and there against, moving it against her yielding softness, kissing it, placing it, kissing it, placing it, this
commonly done at the belly, the waist, at each breast, and at each shoulder, and then, lifting her eyes, regarding him over the rim of the cup, kissing it
again, one last time, lingeringly,... ]]></description>

enjoy the races there.&quot;

			<description><![CDATA[ The collar was a simple one, of a familiar type, particularly in the northern hemisphere, a band collar, about a half inch in height, closely fitting, locked
at the back of the neck. Most such collars range from a half inch to an inch in height.

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Do not sell me to him, Master!&quot; she begged. &quot;Sell me to anyone but him, Master!&quot;
<br>
&quot;Ah,&quot; said the auctioneer, &quot;Now I think I understand. It is a vengeance buy. Once you betrayed him, and now he will have you at his mercy, and
will revenge himself upon you lengthily, and exquisitely, and at his leisure.&quot;
<br>
&quot;No!&quot; cried Ellen. &quot;That is not it! It is different! It is different!&quot;

No matter how she might have annoyed, or... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Although the caste of Mirus might be unclear from the particular nature of his garmenture, Ellen supposed him to be of the slavers, which would be a subcaste
of the Merchants, which caste was doubtless the wealthiest on Gor, and one which was often wont to view itself, perhaps in virtue of its wealth, if not as well
in virtue of its influence and power, as a high caste, a tendency which, however, was not widely shared, save perhaps, at least publicly, by its clients and
sycophants. Goreans... ]]></description>

			<link>http://counterearthculture.yuku.com/topic/931/t/The-Free-Woman-of-Earth.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ One of the interesting things from the Gorean point of view about most of the women of Earth is that they do not veil themselves; most go about, even in
public, with bared features. This tends to be incomprehensible to the average Gorean. On Gor, on the other hand, as you have doubtless by now gathered, this
omission, or this practice, that of not wearing the veil, is common with, and, indeed, is usually imposed upon, and in many cities by law; slaves. Such are
commonly denied the veil, as... ]]></description>

			<link>http://counterearthculture.yuku.com/topic/930/t/Let-the-Buyer-Beware.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Goreans want to know what they are buying. An auction house in Venna was once burned down, she had heard, when it was discovered that it had sold women with
dyed hair, especially as the house had not called this to the attention of the buyers. In the courts, the owner&#39;s claim of inadvertance was viewed
skeptically.

			<description><![CDATA[ Ellen had knelt in the tiny cage, confined there, grasping the bars, waiting. Every muscle in her body had seemed to ache. The cage was of the sort commonly
used for a disciplinary device, one in which an errant slave might be incarcerated pending the subsidence of a master&#39;s ire. In such a device her
contrition quickly becomes authentic, her lessons are learned and her ways mended. Powerful resolutions of improved service are quickly formed in that small
space. It is the sort of device... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ellen rose to her feet, and suddenly stopped, frightened by the sound of the bells on her left ankle. It was the first time since her training that she had
worn such things. There was no mistaking the meaning, the message, of that sensuous jangle. It was stimulatory, and insistently, proclaimedly, excitingly
erotic. Some masters keep their slaves in bells in their private compartments. Others may bell them sometimes before putting them to the furs, enjoying the
jangle of the bells while the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The hair of slaves is usually combed while they are kneeling. Interestingly, masters often comb the hair of their slaves, grooming them. Masters seem to enjoy
this, and the slaves, too, tend to relish it, the intimacy and such, though the slave understands that she is being groomed, as her master&#39;s animal, much
as might be a kaiila or a pet sleen. Sometimes masters wash their slaves, as well, much as a dog might be washed on Earth. This is sometimes done before slave
exhibitions, or... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Speaking of illiteracy, however, it should be noted that illiteracy is not that uncommon on Gor. For example, many Goreans of low caste are illiterate. Indeed,
many seem to regard reading as an accomplishment ill befitting decent, serious folks, an accomplishment more appropriate, at least, to the high castes than to
theirs. Interestingly, too, many of the warriors, and that is a high caste, pride themselves on an inability to read, seeing that homely, and somewhat magical,
skill, as one not... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In the boat were two wide, shallow, wooden buckets, each half filled with wet, glistening leeches, taken from the water, often from the stems of water plants,
such as rence.
<br>
Before being put to her belly in the boat, Ellen&#39;s face, she on her knees, was almost thrust into these two buckets, one after the other, filled with
twisting, churning leeches, that she might see them. She shrank back, as she could, in terror.

These creatures are utilized in some manner by the caste of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Those not in the coffle were presumably camp slaves, associated with the camp, property of the Cosian military, or perhaps, in some cases, officers. The
presence of such women in the camp is a great convenience to soldiers, as one might imagine, for they are useful in various ways, performing a variety of
tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, laundering, and sewing, and, naturally, more delicate, subtle, pleasurable slave tasks, such as &quot;serving wine,&quot; and
such. These slaves were... ]]></description>

moved back and forth. Its tongue, licking outward, then withdrawing, was reddish. It was fanged, these, in two rows, being white and sharp. Its tail twitched,
lashing back and forth, though not seemingly in anger, rather in excitement. Its entire body seemed curious, quick, vibrantly alive. It had a heavy leather
collar. It thrust its... ]]></description>

Usually they had been house garments, garden robes, veils, hose, subrobes, and such. She had washed street himations frequently enough, however, of the sort
which were sometimes worn by free women, particularly those of the lower-castes. The street himation is far less bulky and protective than the usual Robes of

might be worth the ransom of a Ubar. They can be matched to collars, as well, and shackles, and such. Some bracelets are fitted with lock rings, which can be
snapped into one another, if and when desired. This resembles the leather slave cuffs worn by some girls in paga taverns. Similarly, some collars, leather or
otherwise, have rings to... ]]></description>
