Most masters, I have observed, incidentally, at least private masters, take great delight in listening to their female slaves; they love to hear them speak; indeed, I think that one of the pleasures of the mastery is listening to a sensitive, lovely, highly intelligent woman talk, delightfully, intimately, about a thousand things, about herself, about the doings of her day, about those she has met and exchanged gossip with, about her ideas on history, poetry, music, literature, and such, all the while that she is kneeling before you, yours, naked, in your collar; and both of you, of course, are well aware that she may be silenced at your pleasure. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 24, Sentence #689)

Also, she could be silenced with a word; she was not a free woman. I might even, I thought, put her in the bondage of the she-sleen or she-tarsk, and deny her words, refusing to let her rise to her feet, and limiting her discourse to small sounds, whimpers and such, by which she might attempt, as she could, to make clear her wants. Incidentally, perhaps, in passing, one might note that the more generic practice referred to above, that of requiring a slave to obtain permission before speaking, at least in normal circumstances, is a particularly excellent discipline for female slaves, for they are women and, as other women, if I mistake the matter not, they tend to be inveterately sociable and delightfully loquacious; they speak well; they desire to speak; they love to speak; they take great delight in communication; thus, few disciplines so much impress their bondage on them as the control of their discourse, that they may not, under normal circumstances, speak without permission; the domination to which they are subject is thus confirmed to them, and much more acutely, I fear, at least statistically, than would be the case were they a male; they are particularly sensitive to this restriction; but perhaps if the master is well satisfied with them, they may be permitted to speak; and so they strive to see that the master is well satisfied with them; too, of course, this practice draws an important and remarkably clear distinction between them and free women; this, too, cannot help but impress their bondage upon them.

One of the many pleasures of bondage from the point of view of the female, aside from such things as her pride in her master, her joy in serving, the ecstasies associated with her frequent and profound usage, and such, is understanding herself as, what she is, a feminine woman, a true woman, categorically subject to the uncompromising domination of what he is, a true man, a virile male. That she may not speak without having first obtained the permission of her master underscores the reality of her bondage, the authenticity of his mastery. Not all masters, of course, impose this caveat on the behavior of slaves, but, to all, it is clearly available, and both understand that, just as clearly. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 24)
