Slave Silks

Silks come in various colors and each color has a different meaning Х White Silk slave Х
ХDancer of Gor, p. 128Х
These girls are virgins, not merely reserved for her Master's sole use. In the novels, they are permitted to serve drinks and food and engage in conversation, but their sexual use is forbidden (until their Owner says otherwise). "Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not a girl has been 'opened' for the uses of men. Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are 'white silk' and 'red silk', for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively." Or these slaves are in white silks as an indication they are for their owners sole use.

Х Red Silk slave Х
Red silk slaves are nonvirginal slaves. red silk is often worn by "pleasure slaves," and the two terms have come to be synonymous, though they are different things. Red silk slaves may generally be used by any whom desire her usage, but may be reserved for the sole use of the Owner if collared. Sometimes payment is made to the Owner for the use of the slave. Any uncollared slave who is red silk, should be prepared to be well used as red silk.

Х Yellow Х
(Mostly irc made up, unless, she is a tavern slut, Otherwise, then Y/you know that she has pissed on her silks)
Yellow silk was worn by tavern slaves in a few of the novels. A tavern girl's use is rented from the tavern owners and is usually included in the price of paga.

Х Gray Х
State owned slaves wear gray or striped slave livery (simple slave camisk).

Х Black Х
This is an un owned or kettle slave, an untrained slave, new to Gor. However, you will find unowned slaves in the novels to be naked because, well...the men prefer it that way! A common Gorean saying is that only a fool buys a clothed kajira.

ХХХThese silk colours are and indication of a girls status only, slave will wear what ever her owner wishes she may be naked but still be classified a red silks slave.ХХХ

Х Slave Dress Х
A slave owns nothing and has nothing unless it is given to her by her Owner. This is a list of some common items worn by slaves.

Х Bina Beads Х
These beads are cheap jewelry, usually made of plain metal, string, and wooden or glass beads.

Х Camisk Х
A simple garment, about 18 inches wide, it is shaped like a poncho, split completely down the sides with a slit for the head. Just long enough to cover the slave's bottom, it is held in place at the waist by a piece of chain or binding fiber.

Х Chalwar Х
Baggy pants made of diaphanous silks, these pants are worn by slave girls of the Tahari. They are similar to the harem trousers of Earth.

Х Chatka Х
Worn like a breech-cloth, the chatka is a strip of black leather, 6 inches by 5 feet long, worn over the curla. The chatka is worn by slaves of the Wagon Peoples.

Х Curla Х
Worn by slaves of the Wagon Peoples, the curla is the red waist cord which supports the chatka.

Х Kalmak Х
The kalmak is a vest of black leather worn by slave girls of the Wagon Peoples.

Х Kes Х
The kes is a short tunic of black leather worn by male slaves of the Wagon Peoples.

Х Kirtle Х
a soft woolen dress worn by the bond-maids of Torvaldsland it ties at the front under the breasts, shows a lot of leg and cleavage. Traditionaly the only piece of clothing a bond-maid wears.

Х Koora Х
A strip of red fabric, the koora is worn as a headband by slaves of the Wagon Peoples.

Х Piercing Х
The piercing of a girl's ears is considered the ultimate degradation. Unlike nose piercing, a practice common among Free Women of the Wagon Peoples, and sometimes used to increase the beauty of female slaves, pierced ears are a very visible sign of a girl's slavery (U>even a brand and collar can be hidden under clothing). Piercing a girl's ears virtually guarantees she will always be a slave.

Х Dancer of Gor, p. 157 Х
"To the Gorean, the piercing of the woman's ear, with its analog of penetration, and the fixing in it of earrings, chosen by the Master, ornamenting her for his pleasure, is an act of power and claimancy scarcely less significant than her branding and collaring."

Х Explorers of Gor, p. 201 Х
"Perhaps then, for the first time, I truly began to sense how the Gorean views such things. Surely these things are symbolic as well as beautiful. The girl's lovely ears have been literally pierced; the penetrability of her sweet flesh is thus brazenly advertised upon her very body, a proclamation of her ready vulnerability, in incitement to male rapine."

Х Pleasure Silk Х
Х Dancer of Gor, pg 225 Х
A diaphanous, clingy form of silk, pleasure silk is worn only by slaves. There are a large number of ways in which slave silk is worn. It can be worn, for example, on the shoulder or off the shoulder, with high necklines or plunging necklines, in open or closed garments, tightly or flowingly, and in various lengths. Sometimes it is put on the girl only in halters and G-strings, or mere G-strings...the tying of slave girdles, with such silk, and otherwise, to emphasize the girl's figure and make clear her bondage, is an art in itself. Often, too, and as usually in paga taverns, it is worn in brief tunics. Most of these are partable or wraparound tunics. Such may be removed gracefully...like some regular slave tunics, have a disrobing loop, usually at the left shoulder...a tug on the disrobing loop drops the tunic to the girl's ankles...

ХХХ NOTE ХХХ
In the books, if O/one will read, O/one will learn that when a slave was in white silks, she did not go to red silks through training. She, a slave went from white silks to red silks when her Master sexually took her virginity. Red silks are a simble that a slave is no longer an innocent, but a woman slave of passion to be used as He saw fit. Also in the books, slave did not wear yellow silks, unless they were tavern slaves. The testing of silks was started in irc, to train online slaves how to be more pleasurable for Masters and Mistresses alike. It seems that this tradition will continue. Any slave that wishes to be of Tharna must be tested not for silks, but of hers or his skills, and to better adjust to the stone that she or he lives in.
