What man who has known the glory and joy of a girl at his feet is likely to wish to exchange that for the inconvenience and bother of a free woman?

::grins:: As for me...
Many Goreans believe that woman is natures gift to man,
that nature has designed her for his stimulation, pleasure and service.
Accordingly, they will seldom hesitate to avail themselves of this gift.
Too, they are sensitive to the pleasure of power.
They know the pleasures of power, and they honestly, and candidly seek, appreciate, and relish them.
They know there is no thrill in the world comparable to having absolute power over a female.
These feelings, like those of glory and victory, to which they are akin, are their own reward.
Goreans do not apologize for such natural and biologically validated urges.
Too, they do not feel guilty over them.
Indeed, to feel guilty over such natural, profound, deep, and common urges would be,
from the Gorean point of view, madness.
The male is dominant, unless crippled.
Without the mastery, there can be no fulfillment, and interestingly,
without complete male fulfillment, there can be no complete female fulfillment.

"I am sure you find free women of some interest," she said.
"Certainly I find them of interest," I said.
The most interesting thing about them, of course,
was that they could be seized and enslaved.
After that they might become of real interest to a man.
Mercenaries - 346
If you think that the pleasure of a man is inextricable linked
with the pleasure of a woman, you are naive.
That is a common misunderstanding of the free woman
Mercenaries - 194
The pride of a free woman is of one
who feels herself equal to a man.
The pride of a kajira is of one who
knows that no other woman
is the equal of herself.
Tribesman - 333
Strong men simply need women.
This will never be understood by weak men.
A strong man needs a woman at his feet, who is truly his.
Anything else is less than his fulfillment.
When a man has once eaten the meat of the gods he will never again chew on the straw of fools.

The institution of freedom for women, I decided,
as many Goreans believed, was a mistake.
Nomads - 286
A man can truly love only that woman who is truly his,
who belongs to him.
Otherwise, he is only party to a contract.
Slavegirl - 444
The female slave…yours in her servitude,
is ten thousand times more interesting than a free women could ever dream of being.
In contest of desirability the free women must always lose out to the slave,
and if she does not seem to do so, then let her be enslaved, and how she then,
suddenly in a moment, competing then with her former self,
becomes ten thousand times more desirable than ever was a mere free female.
Mercenaries - 346
Men respected free women.
They desired, fought for,
sought and relished their
female slaves.
Tribesman - p150
Every woman in her heart wants to
wear the chains of a man.
Outlaw - p54
A woman must choose,
between freedom, and love.
The woman who fears she cannot please men then sometimes tends to feel hostility toward them,
perhaps turning her own rage and inward disappointment outward, laying the blame upon them,
and developing the obvious defensive reactions of belittling sexuality and its significance, and attempting,
interestingly, to become manlike herself, to be one with them, though in an aggressive, competitive manner,
often attempting to best them, as though one of themselves. Since she was not found a desirable as a woman
she attempts to become a more successful man than the men who failed to note her attractiveness.

Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master,
though often strict, is seldom cruel.
The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one.
She will almost never encounter sadism or wanton cruelty,
for the psychological environment that tends to breed these
diseases is largely absent from Gor.
This does not mean that she will not expect to be beaten if she
disobeys, or fails to please her master.
Outlaw - 53
She who dresses in certain ways
in order to make herself attractive to me,
she who dresses herself in certain ways
in order that she may be pleasing to them,
is her heart a slave.

~ Priceless ~

The beauty of a free woman is a commodity beyond price.
This was not because there was anything special about it,
of course, but only because it was not for sale. Players - 132

Free women technically are priceless, they are also, usually, in bed worthless.
They are not worthy of holding candles within a thousand pasangs of a slave. Renegades - 63

No woman is worth anything until she is put in a collar.
None of them have any worth until they are made worthless. Players - 56

Slaves generally have some value, at least to the master, even if not much.
They, at least, can be bought and sold. Free women, on the other hand, being priceless,
have for most practical purposes no value whatsoever. Players - 229
A Gorean master will know every inch,
   and care for every inch, of one of his slave girls.
     He will know every hair, every sweet blemish of her.
      In a way she is nothing to him, for she is only slave.
       But in another way she is very important to him.
       She is one of his women. he will know her.
       He will want to know her completely,
      every inch of her body, every inch of her mind.
     Nothing less will satisfy him. She is his property.
   He will choose and know his property thoroughly.

"Tears are not unbecoming to the soldier," said Callimachus.
"The soldier is a man of deep passions, and emotion.
Many men cannot even understand his depths.
Do not fear your currents and your powers.
In the soldier are flowers and storms.
Each is a part of him, and each is real.
Accept both. Deny neither."
Guardsman - 238
We met in the center of the room and embraced.
I wept, and he did, too, without shame.
I learned later that on this alien world
a strong man may feel and express emotions,
and that the hypocrisy of constraint
is not honored on this planet as it is on mine.
Tarnsman - 21
Do not ask the stones or the trees how to live, they cannot tell you, they do not have tongues.
Do not ask the wise man how to live, for, if he knows, he will know he cannot tell you.
If you would learn how to live do not ask the question.
Its answer is not in the question but in the answer,
which is not in words.
Do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so.
