These two precautions, the prone posture and the locking gate, are common in female seraglios in the Tahari. When the girl lies on her stomach, her head to the rear wall, she cannot prevent the door from locking behind her. That the alcoves lock, as well as the doors to the general area, provides the masters with useful options, putting the girls more at their mercy. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it is useful to separate or isolate given girls; too, it common to secure slaves at night, and the alcove makes this a simple matter; a single guard, with a lamp, can check a hundred girls in a few Ehn; too, if one is not in her place, it is easy to know instantly which one is missing; too, the simple fact of being secured, at the pleasure of men, in whatever way, helps to impress upon slaves their helplessness, and their bondage. Furthermore, the small opening, approximately eighteen inches square, and set some ten inches off the floor, in the bars, with its small, heavy gate, can be easily negotiated only on the hands and knees. A girl cannot dart from a typical Tahari female-slave alcove. That she must enter and leave it on her hands and knees is thought to have a desirable psychological effect on the girl, impressing on even a haughty girl that she is only slave. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter )
