It has everything to do with man and woman, or male or female, or masculinity and femininity, or, perhaps better, with maleness and femaleness. - (Kajira of Gor, Chapter 34, Sentence #71)

But these words are inadequate, so inadequate! Perhaps you can never understand these things, fully, unless perhaps you, too, have so knelt, stripped and collared, and have so enacted this ritual. Two last remarks might be made. First, this has little or nothing to do with a particular master or slave. It has everything to do with man and woman, or male or female, or masculinity and femininity, or, perhaps better, with maleness and femaleness. What is betokened here is essentially, and generically, the submission of femaleness to maleness, and this is independent of any particular master or any particular slave. For example, in a slaver's house one of the first things a new girl is taught is to kiss the whip, and therein is conveyed to her a profound message; she therein receives, perhaps for the first time in her life, an inkling into the meaning of her beauty, her slightness, and weakness, and her deepest, perhaps suddenly, dramatically sensed, needs and desires. To be sure, whereas the slave may be expected to kiss the whip of any male, qua male, because of the profound, generic meaning of these things, there is no doubt that the experience of kneeling helplessly before a powerful, exciting, overwhelmingly desirable male, or a beloved male, gives this ritual a special flavor or meaning. - (Kajira of Gor)
