13 543 I do not think this was simply because we feared to irritate or offend passing Goreans, who tend to view languages other than their own as barbarous, or because slaves are expected to use a speech intelligible to their masters, but because, for most practical purposes, Gorean had become our language...

17 50 Goreans are fond of giving dinners and having parties.

19 42 Caste is extremely important to most Goreans, even when they do not all practice the traditional crafts of their caste.

19 108 This is very meaningful to Goreans.

10
20 148 Goreans generally do not employ slaves for such labors as road construction, siege works, raising walls, and so on.
Details
10
20 329 Most Goreans would regard it as absurd to let a woman go for whom one truly cared.

1 17 Such signs are not untypical of Gorean hostelries, as many Goreans, particularly those of the lower castes, cannot read.

10
1 352 Most Goreans, incidentally, do not attribute lightning and thunder to the grinding of the flour of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
1 355 Even more sophisticated Goreans, however, if not of the Scribes or Builders, have been noted to speculate that lightning is the result of clouds clashing together in the sky, showering sparks, and such.
Details
10
1 372 To be perfectly fair, however, most Goreans, and not just free women, will prefer the simple, jolting progress of a springless wagon to the often more rapid progress of a leather-slung fee cart.
Details
10
1 409 It is not universal, but it is quite common, incidentally, for Goreans to strip prisoners.
Details
10
1 419 It might also be mentioned, of course, that most Goreans do not approve of criminals.
Details
10
1 432 Goreans, as I have suggested, do not much approve of criminals.

1 611 Many Goreans, particularly those of low caste, on errands and such, carry a coin or coins in their mouths.

7 35 The real attendant was probably upstairs in the paga room, enjoying cakes and Bazi tea, a breakfast popular with Goreans on holidays.
Details
10
8 696 It is not hard to understand why Goreans are fond of enslaving females.
Details
10
10 129 Too, besides their anger, these men were Goreans, and many of them regarded women as fit and natural slaves, and considered them in terms of the perfection of the collar.
Details
10
10 132 Were they not all women? Many Goreans, for example, rejoiced in the situation in Tharna, where almost every female is a slave.
Details
10
11 16 Goreans sometimes give Earth-girl names to Gorean girls, as they think of them as excellent slave names.
Details
10
11 18 Some girls, too, coming to understand the sensuous connotations of their names on Gor come to regard them then no longer as common, or plain, names, but, like the Goreans, as thrilling, beautiful names, and come to revel in them, and try to live up to them, as superb slaves.
Details
10
11 20 It is true that Earth girls are regarded as slave stock by Goreans, but I think, at least these days, that there is nothing special about this, really.
Details
10
11 21 Women, as a whole, by many Goreans, are regarded as slave stock.
Details
10
13 94 That she follows indicates that she is subservient, that he is master and she slave; that she follows on the left is a cultural matter probably indexed to the fact that most Goreans are right-handed.

10
16 291 It is not unusual for a Gorean, many Goreans, but particularly a guardsman, or a warrior, to carry various items of restraint or control in his pouch, for example, thongs, binding fiber, slave bracelets, thumb cuffs, a leash and collar, a nose ring and cord, such things.
Details
10
21 482 Many Goreans believe that all women are natural slaves, and thus, in a sense, are all eminently suitable for the collar.
Details
10
21 796 Lest some not understand their fury, let it be said, simply, that they were Goreans.
Details
10
21 946 This is perhaps because Goreans tend to think of Earth women as slave stock.
Details
10
21 948 Too, about the only Earth women Goreans are familiar with are those they buy from slave blocks.
Details
10
21 1209 Goreans tend to find women excruciatingly beautiful, and that is doubtless why they put collars on them and own them.
Details
10
21 1400 Many Goreans, incidentally, as is well known, regard Earth-girl names as slave names.
Details
10
24 26 That, to Goreans, would be extremely important.

24 533 Goreans are efficient about such matters.

24 692 Goreans tend to be very sensitive to matters of ritual, tradition, custom, symbolism, and such.

1 830 It is a joke of young Goreans to sometimes whistle, or hum, such melodies, apparently innocently, in the presence of free women who, of course, are not familiar with them, and do not understand their origins or significance, and then to watch them become restless, and, usually, after a time, disturb...
Details
10
12 257 It is dangerous, sometimes, to be a secret slave, then revealed, for Goreans do not like to be duped.
Details
10
14 46 That women are the same as men, and should be treated as such would be regarded by Goreans as an insanity, and one which would be cruelly deprivational to the female, robbing her of her uniqueness, her delicious specialness, in a sense of her very self.
Details
10
19 343 To be sure, most Goreans feel the brand also serves psychological and aesthetic purposes, for example, helping the girl to understand that she is now a slave and enhancing her beauty.
Details
10
19 599 On the whole, I, like most Goreans, preferred opened women.
Details
10
26 193 Obtaining women is one of the major reasons Goreans fight.

10
28 605 To be sure, once the slave has learned her condition, or learned her collar, as the Goreans say, she has no doubt whatsoever of this dominance, and her subjection to it.

1 193 Goreans are not ashamed of the luscious richness, the excitingness, the sensuousness, the femininity, the beauty of their slaves.
Details
10
1 340 It surprised me that the people were kneeling, for, commonly, free Goreans do not kneel, even in the temples of the Initiates.
Details
10
1 341 Goreans commonly pray standing.
Details
10
3 157 Her bridges could be, as the Goreans have it, washed in blood.
Details
10
3 310 Goreans, incidentally, doubt that any female is, qua female, irremediably or ultimately frigid.
Details
10
3 942 Goreans, on the other hand, often accept, rather uncritically, in my mind, that the reader can actually read thoughts, or usually read them.
Details
10
3 944 Similarly, less familiar with tricks, prestidigitation, illusions, and such, than an Earth audience, some Goreans believe in magic.
Details
10
3 945 I have met Goreans who really believed, for example, that a magician can make a girl vanish into thin air and then retrieve her from the same.
Details
10
3 948 Many Goreans will worry about such things as the tracks of spiders and the flights of birds.
Details
10
8 13 Similarly, because of considerations such as congestion and noise, and perhaps aesthetics, which Goreans take seriously, wagons are not permitted on certain streets, and on many streets only during certain hours, usually at night or in the early morning.
Details
10
8 413 Many Goreans enjoy owning highly intelligent, well-educated women.
Details
10
8 991 To be sure, it did amuse me, in particular, as perhaps it would have most Goreans, to think of the proud women of Ar, of "Glorious Ar," as slaves.
Details
10
9 687 I could remember when many Goreans had not even heard of them.

12 104 I do not think that Goreans would even understand that.

13 21 Such sports as these were familiar to Goreans, and had for years been privately practiced at numerous palestrae throughout the city.
Details
10
17 21 It might be mentioned, at any rate, that many Goreans, particularly those of lower caste, and who are likely to have had access only to the "first knowledge," take things of this sort very seriously, believing they are witnesses not to tricks and illusions but to marvelous phenomena consequent upon ...
Details
10
17 32 A last observation having to do with the tendency of some Goreans to accept illusions and such as reality is that the Gorean tends to take such things as honor and truth very seriously.
Details
10
17 35 On the other hand, I do not encourage lying to Goreans.
Details
10
17 234 Certainly many Goreans whom I regarded as much more intelligent than I took such things with great seriousness.

10
18 588 I could well imagine many Goreans leaping upon him with a knife under such circumstances, or, at any rate, looking him up later with that in mind, having discovered their loss in the meantime.
Details
10
19 843 For most Goreans the matter is immaterial.
Details
10
22 619 Because there are many Goreans who cannot read, many stores, shops, and such, will utilize various signs and devices to identify their place of business.
Details
10
22 631 Physicians, interestingly, perhaps for a similar reason, tend to keep records in archaic Gorean, which is incomprehensible to most Goreans.
Details
10
22 647 Normally Goreans keep to the left sides of streets and roads, as is proper, given that most men are right-handed.

23 15 When Goreans get the idea that honor is involved they suddenly become quite difficult to deal with.

24 163 To be sure, Goreans tend to take their free women very seriously, though perhaps not as seriously as the free women are inclined to take themselves.

10
16 540 That Earth women are seldom veiled is taken by most Goreans, at least those familiar with the second knowledge, as evidence that we are slaves.

10
16 873 On the whole, however, Goreans tend to be remarkably free of vulgarity, perhaps because their world is, on the whole, so much more innocent, natural and conducive to human happiness than at least one other world.

17 24 Goreans, of course, are of human stock.

22 132 See them dance before masters! Goreans believe that slave dance lurks in every woman's belly.

22 135 Perhaps that is what the Goreans, in their typically straightforward and natural way, recognized.

22 205 For example, many Goreans of low caste are illiterate.

22 214 Goreans had not been free with that information.

22 222 Goreans, she knew, whereas they might be interested in her in many respects, as she had abundant evidence to attest, were not likely to be interested in her in that respect.

10
22 497 This is not to claim, of course, that Goreans instituted female slavery in order to satisfy the needs of women.
Details
10
22 528 Sometimes the cup is first warmed at the breasts, for Goreans commonly drink wine warm, or pressed meaningfully against the slave's lower belly, the hard rim of the cup pressed inward, severely, against her yielding flesh.

24 79 A consideration favoring this possibility is that left-handed Goreans will also, commonly, have their sleen, their slaves, and such, follow on the left.
