Slave Positions for your Master or Mistress. Slave positions are useful to know and to show off obedience and good Mastery. They are a popular teaching in Master and Slave relationships and useful and interesting to know if you like to indulge in the BDSM Kink and role play or even if you are just interested in knowing of or about them. There are a list of some of the positions for Gorean slaves (kajirae) described in the Chronicles of Gor series of science fiction books written by John Norman. One reason for regular practice and rituals such as kajira (Slave) positions is that they express and reinforce social values and relationships. For example: Gentlemen who wear hats and possess good manners, should tip them to a woman they know as she passes by on the street, or if a man stops to talk with a woman, he would usually take his hat off. A gentleman always opens a door for a lady and allows her to go first or gives her his hand to help her up or down steps. These traditions, customs or manners reflect "chivalrous" values commonly held by some in society and show suitable respect to a lady and the class of the man showing that respect. From a psychological point of view, doing such activities can often help you feel the suitable emotions. The lady feels respected. The man feels the protector and valiant. So on the most basic level, people who smile can often feel a little happier just from smiling. Try it and see. It especially works when people smile back at you. Similarly, if one gets into the true spirit of the thing (role play) at all, rather than participating with feelings of pure bitter ironic mockery, then performing rituals of respect can help one feel respectful. As John Norman says in another context, "She may begin by acting, but after some days or weeks, she will presumably shift into feeling." Thus doing an practising kajira (slave) positions could help women feel sexually desirable as well as vulnerable, while reinforcing the Gorean social status distinctions between kajirae and free men. For the Master, such positions allow him to feel pride of mastery (by exacting kajira obedience), to place a kajira in various appealing or provocative poses, and to position her suitably for what he wants to do with her next (whether applying restraints, lovemaking, showing her off to others etc.). The Kajira (slave) will feel proud to show off her knowledge and good posture, will feel pride to make sure her Master looks good in front of others and know and feel her lowlier position before her Master. (Or Mistress) Here are some of the basic positions used in the Master and Slave relationship and are useful to have knowledge of if you are interested in this field of kink. 1. 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. 2. Belly. She assumes a face down position, head is turned to the left, arms at her sides with the palms turned up, and legs are parted widely 3. 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…her breasts thrust outward....and her hands clasped tightly behind her back...ready for bracelets to be placed on her. 4. Hair. 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. 5. Ko-Lar or Collaring 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. 6. Leading 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. 7. Leasha or Leash 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. 8. 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. 9. Obeisance or Obedience 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. 10. 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. - continued -
