8 6 On the whole they seemed to me a pale and depressed lot, but I was confident they could accomplish what they set their minds to, that they might succeed in tasks which the average Gorean male, with his impatience and lightness of heart, would simply abandon as distasteful or not worth the effort, fo...

Book 3. (11 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 41 He informed me that in this time he had refuted seven hundred and eight scribes from fifty-seven cities, but I will not vouch for the accuracy of the report, as I sometimes suspect that Torm, like most members of his caste, and mine, tends to be a bit too sanguine in recounting his numerous victorie...

Book 4. (3 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 265 It might also be mentioned that the Turian warrior, in his opinion, too seldom encounters the warrior of the Wagon Peoples, who tends to be a frustrating, swift and elusive foe, striking with great rapidity and withdrawing with goods and captives almost before it is understood what has occurred.

11 323 I do think, of course, that the Gorean population tends to be more physically fit and mentally acute than that of Earth, but I would rate them provisionally rather than essentially superior in these respects; for example, Goreans live much out of doors and, as a very natural thing, celebrate the bea...

11 326 Moreover, the Gorean culture tends, for better or worse, to be male oriented and male dominated, and in such a culture men naturally look on women much differently than they do in a consumer-oriented, woman-dominated culture, one informed by an ethos of substantially feminine values; the women then,...

19 142 An extremely good price, under relatively normal market conditions, for a truly beautiful woman of High Caste tends to be about thirty pieces of gold, though some go as high as forty, and fifty is not unknown; these prices, for women of low caste, may be approximately halved.

22 401 Commonly, the tarn responds only to one voice command, that of "Tabuk," which tends, roughly, to mean "Hunt and feed"; further, I would have liked to use the Tuchuk temwood thrusting lance from the saddle of a tarn.

10 175 Beyond this, lastly, it might be mentioned that Gorean society, on the whole, tends to be tradition bound, and that there is little questioning of the wisdom of one's fathers; in such a society individuals usually have an identity satisfactory to themselves, and a place in which they feel comfortabl...

16 23 In harsh weather, and at night, these cages are often covered with tarpaulins; this tends to prevent undue weathering of the cage metal due to salt and moisture.

10
24 84 Perhaps lastly it might be mentioned that Gorean taste in women, while extensive and diverse, as is manifested by the goods offered in the markets, tends on the whole to run to the natural woman, favoring on the whole the configurations, heights, weights, and such, of the normal female.

27 316 White, on Gor, when worn by a female slave, tends to suggest a "white-silk girl," that is a slave who has not yet been "opened for the uses of men".

28 180 The effect of this, being for a time relatively at ease, and then being forced suddenly to move ten times closer to the block tends, suddenly, to whet one's fears and anticipations anew; when one, psychologically, in spite of herself, had begun to feel a little safe one is suddenly hurried even clos...

9 220 Gorean culture tends to view the body, its development, its appetites and needs, with congeniality.

10
10 219 The garment, because of the hood, and the weight of the garment on the shoulders, tends to trap this warm air inside.
Details
10
10 220 It does not escape from the bottom because warm air, being less dense than cold air, tends to rise.

10
10 229 Also, of course, since this sort of clothing is not normally windproof cold air penetrates the garment and, meeting the warm air of the body, tends to precipitate moisture.

21 270 Too, slavery, because of its relation to a female's genetic predispositions, tends to free her to be herself, rather than an imitator of male-type values.

Book 14. (15 results) Fighting Slave of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 42 Frightened though I was, I was pleased, in the lengthy process of the bath, which tends for Goreans to be a pleasant experience, and is often a social one, at the public baths, to rid myself of the stink of the pens.
Details
10
11 400 The crucial political entity for Goreans tends to be the city or village, the place where people and power are.
Details
10
11 408 The man of Earth thinks of territory as static, regardless of the waxing and wanings of the power that maintains it; the Gorean tends to think of territory as more dynamic, a realistic consequence of the geopolitical realities of power centers.
Details
10
11 409 Perhaps it would be better to say that the Gorean tends to think more in terms of spheres of influence than he does in terms of imaginary lines on maps which may not reflect current historical realities.
Details
10
11 413 Another consequence of the Gorean's tendency to think of territory in terms more analogous to an area warmed or an area illuminated than an area laid out by surveyors once and for all time is that his territoriality tends to increase with nearness to his city or village.
Details
10
11 416 One result of this is that the number of people affected by warfare on Gor usually tends, statistically, to be quite limited.
Details
10
11 423 I think it is because of their Home Stones that the Gorean tends to think of territory as something from the inside out, so to speak, rather than from the outside in.
Details
10
12 255 Such a deceit tends not only to be rather beneath them, but, beyond this, would be almost meaningless to them.

10
12 336 The next level of slaves, not generally thought to be of great value, tends to be male work slaves, usually used in cargo galleys, on the wharves, and in the fields or quarries.

1 357 Statistically, the Gorean tends to prefer the natural woman, so to speak, who tends to be short, and sweetly bodied.

10
1 356 Lastly, it might be mentioned that the Gorean's idea of female beauty tends to be far more diversified than that of Earth.
Details
10
22 37 Too, the exposition of captures in this way tends to discourage retaliatory missile fire from the scene of the pillaging.
Details
10
24 117 Also, of course, serving a man, particularly in small and humble ways, probably for biological reasons, tends to be sexually arousing for a woman.

10
24 140 Third, such service tends to arouse the girl.

19 20 Something of the same hatred and contempt tends to be felt by masculine women on Earth towards feminine women.
Details
10
19 363 This condition tends, with its vulnerability and helplessness, as might be expected, to be an extremely arousing one for the female.
Details
10
19 365 This tends to keep her, as the Goreans say, rather vulgarly perhaps, "ready in her collar".
Details
10
19 400 Not only does the collar serve often to release the female's sexuality, and deeper nature, but it tends to deepen and intensify them.

10
19 914 It, or caste, on the other hand, tends to be very explicit and obvious on Gor.

19 927 It might be mentioned, in passing, however, that the Gorean woman, even in a collar, tends to hold the Earth-girl slave as no more than a lowly, despicable barbarian.

14 648 It is not unusual for a Gorean male, who tends to be uninhibited in such matters, to clap his hands, or strike his thigh, or shout with pleasure, upon seeing a bared slave.

15 96 This tends, in the beginning, when they are still new to their collars, to confuse and frighten them, but also, of course, as it will continue to do, and even more powerfully, to stimulate them.

15 110 Beauty in a slave girl, incidentally, and most slaves are beautiful, for this is the sort of woman that tends to be enslaved, does not excuse poor service.

7 502 The performance of even tasks which may be "sex-neutral," tasks that do not seem to have an obvious biological rationale with respect to gender, tends to be divided, in culture after culture, on a sexual basis.

7 505 This tends to suggest that it is important in these cultures that sexual differences, in one way or another, be clearly marked.
