Types Of Gorean Slaves
In Gor, there are many types of slaves. Depending on their specific training, and gender, these slaves serve specific functions. In the real world, there are not as many types of slave, and they are less specialized. In fact, on Earth, a real life kajira may be asked to perform the functions of many different types of slaves. It is not common, although it does happen, for a Master to have one girl simply as a pleasure silk, while having another as a chamber slave or as a kitchen slave. Typically, a real life Master will only have one girl that serves both as the pleasure slave and the kitchen slave.
Basic Slaves
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These levels usually apply to both male and female slaves on Earth.
White Silk -
On Gor this is a girl who is a virgin and not to be sexually used unless her owner decides to "raise her silk level." On Earth, a white silk girl is normally one restricted from sexual use. The Earth Born White Silk may not be a virgin, but the slave is normally restricted in use and service to his/her Trainer and/or Owner.
Yellow Silk -
On Gor this is a girl who is owned by a Paga Tavern. In the Paga Taverns of Gor, use of this girl is purchased for the cost of a bowl of Paga. On Earth, this level may be the same as on IRC or it may mean nothing. Now, since I only train from the books, I do not use this in real life or on line. However it is maybe by other trainers.
Red Silk -
On Gor, this is a fully trained kajira and they serve any Free Person who chooses to use them. They are, unlike the white silk, available for sexual play. They have few to no limits and will obey the orders of any Free they are given to, or taken by. Their sole purpose in life is to please the Free in any way the Free Person sees fit. Without question, argument, or even thought for their own desires. They often do the menial tasks, such as serving food and drink, but are equally often the source of great sexual pleasure. Normally on Earth, real life slaves are normally restricted to their owner, regardless of silk level, but this is not always the case.
**It should also be noted that, in real life, a slave's owner may dress him/her however He/She wishes and the silk colors may be as meaningless or meaningful as the owner decides. In general most Goreans, I have met in real life, try to stick to the silk colors. This is often simply because they are familiar with the using the silk colors, to denote levels of training, and to gives the slave a sense of progress and accomplishment in training. Without this sense of accomplishment, goals and training seem meaningless and arbitrary to the slave. Hence the slave is not as likely to progress well. Further, in homes with multiple slaves, it gives the girls a sense of his/her position within the home and a chain of command.
