It seemed to me then an excellent modality in which to conduct our relationship, seeming to drive a wedge between the past and the present. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #707)

When a slave is introduced into a new house, often carried over the threshold bound and naked, she is commonly tied and whipped; the purpose of this is to leave her in no doubt as to what she is in the new domicile; in this way she is assisted in understanding that within the new walls, in the new collar, under the new mastery, she is as much slave as before, and perhaps more. This status is not something which a wise master lets a woman forget, ever. So I divided the whipping into a more strictly punishment portion, which was scarcely more than a token considering her laxities and offenses, and Klima, and an instructional portion, which would seem rather routine and perfunctory, and in its way, considering our relationship, profoundly unsettling, and insulting. It seemed to me then an excellent modality in which to conduct our relationship, seeming to drive a wedge between the past and the present. And what could better remind her of the past than that I should treat her in the present as though the past did not exist, treat her as no more than any other slave. To be sure, I would doubtless, from time to time, remember Klima. But, on the whole, let her be treated as though she was not special to me, but merely another slave, one I might have picked up anywhere. - (Tribesmen of Gor)
