She is marked, and collared, and slave clad, in a culture which not only accepts and supports her bondage, but approves of it, and, indeed, celebrates it. - (Mercenaries of Gor, Chapter 5, Sentence #451)

Being bound by the master certainly teaches the slave, for example, that she is his, that he can make her helpless, that she is at his mercy, that she is his to do with as he pleases. The most important functions of binding, and such, however, aside from the obvious aspects of restraint, safekeeping, security, and such, seem to be clearly psychological. This becomes clear when it is understood that for all practical purposes there is no escape for the Gorean slave girl. She is marked, and collared, and slave clad, in a culture which not only accepts and supports her bondage, but approves of it, and, indeed, celebrates it. If some bold fellow steals her from a given master it is not to free her, but to keep her as his own. Consider an analogy: If a fellow steals a tarsk, he does not steal it to free it, but to keep it for himself. The female slave, like the tarsk, has some value. - (Mercenaries of Gor)
