 "This week's questions" 

Question 1: Master has asked this slave a question that she hasn't been able to answer, hope you can help! Here it is: Why would another Master have to ask this slaves Master for permission before borrowing this slave? thank you for any help you can give.

kyna has considered this question for the past week. after some serious thought, kyna has decided that it needs to be answered in two parts. kyna will answer it first in the book sense, providing quotes and reasons from the book, then in real life sense. 

first of all, let's point out right off the bat, there was no such thing as sexually transmitted diseases on the planet Gor. this world, for the most part, was largely absent of such unpleasantries as that. it certainly made sharing a slave with another Man, or several other Men, less frightening to the Master's health as well as the property's health.

in the books, a Man seldom used another Man's property without her being offered. now this is not taking into account Tavern slaves, as they were available with the price of paga. a preferred slave was almost never taken without being offered, although a preferred slave, in the books is often offered to the use of the Man's friends. an example is found in a prior quote used in this column's answer to the question of 'white silks';

At these times, Hassan, cross-legged, would sometimes sit silently before his tent. We did not then disturb him. Oddly enough he permitted no one near him at such times but the collared slave girl, Alyena. She alone, only female and slave, would be beside him, lying beside him, her head at his left knee. Sometimes he would, in these times, stroke her hair, or touch the side of her face, almost gently, almost as though her throat were not encircled by a collar. Then, after the stars would be high for an Ahn or so, he would, suddenly, laughing, seize the girl by the arms and throw her on her back on the mats, thrust up her dress and rape her as the mere slave she was. Then he would knot her skirt over her head, confining her arms within it, and throw her, she laughing, to his men, and to me, for our sport. 
pg 170 Tribesmen of Gor

note that it clearly shows that Hassan is the one to throw her to His Men. nowhere does it say that one of His Men came up and grabbed her, using her at His will. in yet another example, in Slave Girls of Gor, the narrator discusses one Man asking for the use of another's slave, especially when the Owner of the slave is a guest in another Man's home;

"Had Thurnus requested me my master, in such a situation would have granted me to him immediately. Not to have done so would have been inexcusably rude, a betrayal, a boorish breech of hospitality and good manners."
later on the same page 
"Satisfied then with the acknowledgment of this power, which was rightfully his in this house, Thurnus neither put me to his purposes, nor requested of my master his permission to do so, a permission which would have assuredly been promptly and willingly tendered. Having thus certified my master's recognition of his rights, he chose, magnanimously and nobly, as is often done, not to exercise them. I was, after all, my master's property. In this simple manner these two strong men had shown one another, in the Gorean mode, respect. But Gorean males, I knew, in such situations, not only respected one another, but were often generous with one another. In the feast to come tonight, Eta had warned me, there would be a general exchange of slave girls, the bond girls of the village being made available to master's men, and the his own girls, among whom I was one, being made available to the young lads of the community."
pages 142-143, Slave Girl of Gor 

here we see examples of what is thought to be 'proper' or 'respectful' in regards to using another Man's slave, His property.  and then there is the reference to it being against the Codes to use a Man's property without His permission;

" We took her without your permission," said Bran Loort. "In this," said Thurnus, "you have committed a breach of code." "It does not matter to me," said Bran Loort. "Neither a plow, nor a bosk, nor a girl may one man take from another, saving with the owner's saying of it," quoted Thurnus. "I do not care," said Bran Loort. "What is it, Bran Loort, that separates men from sleen and larls?" asked Thurnus. "I do not know," said Bran Loort. "It is the codes," said Thurnus
and later, on pager 227, the conversation continues; 
"Had you asked of me my permission, Bran Loort," said Thurnus, indicating me with a gesture of his head, "willingly and without thought, gladly, would I have given you temporary master rights over her." I lay in the dirt, my hands bound behind my back, the rope on my neck, watching. It was true what Thurnus had said. I could have been loaned to Bran Loort, and would have had to serve him as though he were my own master. "But you did not ask my permission," said Thurnus. "No," said Bran Loort, angrily, "I did not."
and later still, on page 228; 
"I am disposed to be merciful, Bran Loort," said Thurnus, looking at me. "You may now request my permission for what you have done to this slave." "But," said Bran Loort, "I do not request your permission." "I must then call the council," said Thurnus, "that we may consider what is to be done with you."

so it seems, with these examples, it is common for a Man to either request permission from the Owner of the slave, or for the Owner of the slave to offer His property for the uses of the other Man.

that takes care of the book sense. now we will move on to the talk of real life. when kyna read this question last week, the first thoughts that sprang to her mind were; "you don't let someone use your sports car without asking...you don't let someone ride your horse without asking...why would a Master let a Man use His slave without Him giving permission first...or having been asked for the use of His property?" common sense right? so kyna did a little searching, asked a few questions of real life Masters she knows and listened to some conversations being had by Masters about this subject. the following is an excerpt from a conversation we had about this subject;

*note*some parts of this conversation have been paraphrased due to the largely personal content. kyna has put forth the parts that she found useful to this question's answer.

(kyna) why would a Man need permission from the slave's Master to use His slave? 
(Master 1) What if he had a reason to restrict you, or was planning something for you in which my use of you would impede or even harm this intention? 
(Masterofkyna) Or... 
(Masterofkyna) Would it not be like asking to borrow a man's car? 
* kyna smiles 
(Master 1) True. May I have the keys to kyna, please? 
* Master1 grins 
(Masterofkyna) Would a man not "ask" to do such a thing? 
* kyna laughs softly...and vrooooomssss 
* Masterofkyna smiles ... tosses them over 
(Master1) Or anything of anothers property, exactly. It is "polite", if we remember our Emily Post. :) 
* nairi suspects kyna will be well driven... and hard!! 
* Masterofkyna laughs 
* kyna perks perks perks perks 
(Masterofkyna) Watch her on the turns... she sways a lot 
* nairi grins 
* kyna grins impishly 
* kyna wonders if it is then..basic respect for another Man's property...respect that that Man Owns that property ..like He would Own a car that another Man would have to ask permission to drive? 
(Masterofkyna) I think that is what we just said :) 
(Master 1) Indeed, what if I broke you? Seriously, what if I used you to carry some packages and you fell and broke your arm. then your master found out, he might be angry that you were disabled for a bit, but you will heal. He might be peeved that in my use of you, I caused the value of his property to be diminished for a time. I admit, this is more a merchant thing than anything, but it is still true. 
(kyna) kyna and nairi found a reference to it being against the codes..but then..a girl wonders about this questions logic in regards to real life...kyna wonders how many Men would actually not require permission from others to use their slaves in real life. 
(Master1) I will not, of course, discuss the codes with you, girl. 
(kyna) yes Master 
(Master1) Are there men who might use my slaves without asking me? 
(Master1) Yes, there are. But those men, I would trust with my life. Not something that one does easily. 
(nairi) nairi found reference.. from a slave's perspective... on the risk of being slave raped by strangers... as the 'price' a slave pays for being beautiful and arousing...it is mentioned as not uncommon to be used as a result 
(Masterofkyna) If we are discussing the "real" sharing of one's slave, the implications are VERY different. 
(kyna) rape on earth...taking the word literally is very different...Master, you would not take kindly to some strange Man grabbing kyna and using her in the street, would you?
(Masterofkyna) kyna, I would not take kindly to any man using you anywhere. 
(kyna) yes Master 
(nairi) does Master recall the slave who came into (channel) the other night bragging of being a r/l redsilk slave to be used by many? 
(Masterofkyna) Yes, I remember
(nairi) nairi worries that if she is indeed what she says she is, that we might read about her in the obituaries. 
(Masterofkyna) I think that ANY person who has multiple partners, who are often used by even more partners, is living dangerously. 
(Master1) Not necessarily. If there was a circle of friends whom one trusted implicitly, then sharing a girl with them is not an unGorean thing to do. To do so indiscriminately, however, in this society with all of its ills, is stupid. Sex is a great demystifier. It carries some heavy baggage as well. while the fear of STD is there, moreso, it is a fear of one being harmed emotionally that keeps our circle of friends a small one. 
(Masterofkyna) Of course it is not "unBookGorean", but keeping in mind what you just said, I would think it would have to be limited to a circle of friends, that one KNEW did not venture out of for sex. 
(Master1) Agreed. Why would I lend my car to someone whom I do not know? 
* nairi recalls that there were no STD's on Gor 
(Masterofkyna)Yeah... you never know when someone will put regular unleaded in your Ferrari 
(Master1) exactly.

although there was some joking around in this conversation, it did bring up several very important points. first off, most Men would not take it lightly if some stranger came up in the street and raped their slave... and that in essence is what could possibly happen. secondly, due to the fact that we live on EARTH not Gor, where sexually transmitted diseases are a very much real aspect of our lives, why would a Master not wish to know the other Men who would use His property? would He not wish them to be those that He trusts implicitly, say even with His life? and not only know them, but to have them show the proper respect to Him by requesting the use of His property if He has not offered. and of course there is the question of harm, emotional and physical to a Man's property. if we speak of real life, then of course, the only answer to this question would have to be that permission, or at least a prior agreement is a necessity! one does not loan out their car to a stranger, and strangers who take another's car and 'borrow' it on Earth...well, often they find themselves in jail for car theft. point in case. kyna begs everyone to be very careful. this is Earth and not Gor and irc is not Gor either, it is a virtual world where it can be very easy for a predator to hide their true nature. predators and disease are a very real part of our lives. think before you act please :)

Question 2: As a slave, it is our desire to be as pleasing as possible to Masters. As a slave, this girl has poured her heart and soul into being as creatively pleasing as possible. It is very disheartening when a girl gets asked.. How much to Rent you, slave.. or Lets go Alc.. we are here to be pleasing... and a girl *loves* to be pleasing. but is this how she will find a Master.. by cybering with every Gorean Master who only wants to rent her? is there a difference between a slut and a whore?

nairi thought on this question long and hard. She consulted with kyna on an appropriate response as well. Finally both slaves approached Master Bear- for his input on the matter. 

There is no disputing that a slave desires to be pleasing to a Master. In addition to absolute obedience, being pleasing is one of the 'duties' of a slave. But a slave also has to remember that she lives on Earth, not Gor. Master Bear- states it emphatically with his words:

"IRC, it should be stressed time and time again, is not Gor."

The fact that the medium of communication is IRC compounds the situation. Master Bear- has addressed the issue of how to deal with the HNG's of irc Gor at the following web URL: 

http://www2.1starnet.com/mharris/tavern/tavern/ask_bear.html. He also adds this comment regarding the Masters of the type referred to in the question; those who ask about renting and alcoving:

"Were we, as tavern management, able to see these losers facetoface, few would get in."

Another thing which can be found at the website above is a very comprehensive list of things to keep in mind as a slave travels Gor in search of a Master. Quite simply, a slave on irc has to keep her wits about her and rely on her instincts. Please read the words of Master Bear- on the website. nairi could not explain what to keep in mind when looking for a Master better than written at that site.

In Slave Girl of Gor, on page 137, there is something worth mention, but nairi is repeats that the passage refers to a slave of Gor, not one of earthly IRC:

"...though I loved my apparently increasing beauty, and desirability, and was incredibly thrilled with it, and my new attractiveness, I was not unaware that it was attended with risks. It was one thing to be raped by me master's men, and quite another to know that the same passions I aroused in them I would similarly inspire in the breasts of complete strangers. I was not eager to be slaveraped by strangers, which, Eta assured me, was a not uncommon experience for a pretty slave."

The last portion of the question, asking if there is a difference between a whore and a slut is the simplest, yet hardest, to answer. To again use the words of Master Bear- in a paraphrased format, a whore will get paid for her services, a slave receives no stipend for 'services rendered'. A slave can only decide for herself what those differences are as they pertain to herself and her judgement. 

~*~Beginning of the year...things to think about~*~ 
quotes, quotes...and more quotes
red silks have more fun....!
"To be sure," I said, " 'white' in the context of 'white-silk girl' tends less to suggest purity and innocence to the Gorean than ignorance and naivety, and a lack of experience. 'Red,' in the context of 'red-silk girl,' on the other hand, connotes rather clearly, I think, experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, not only to be able to find her way about the furs, but, subject to the whip, owned and dominated, perhaps chained, to prove herself a sensous treasure within them."
page 205, Savages of Gor 
"She is only white silk," said Lana. "Lana is red silk. Let Lana please you."
page 114, Captives of Gor 
the nature of those ever so delicious Gorean Men...
Gorean men have a way of looking at a woman which is like stripping them and putting them to their feet. I felt naked. I put my hand to the thin brown cloth, clutching it, as though to close it more, but I only moved it more tightly about me and higher upon my thighs. I felt, under his gaze, that every detail of my body must be clear to him. I shrank back.
page 267, Slave Girl of Gor 
One of the most initially frightening and disturbing things to Earth women brought to Gor as slaves is the way Gorean men look at them. They are not used to being looked at as women, truly, with appraisal, desire and ownership. 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.
page 258, Savages of Gor 
intelligence in a slave girl...
I was an ignorant and foolish girl. I would learn that ignorance and foolishness are not long tolerated in a girl such as I was to be on Gor.
page 44-45, Slave Girl of Gor 
"Intelligent bodies," he said, "are far more responsive. Your very intelligence makes you the more helplessly a slave." I clutched him. "It pleases me to own intelligent girls, such as you," he said. "Intelligent girls make excellent slaves," he observed. 
page 173, Slave Girl of Gor 
"Vella," said I, "is a highly intelligent, complex woman." "Such make the best slaves," said Ibn Saran. "True," I said. Indeed, who would want to collar any other sort of woman? To take the most brilliant, the most imaginatie, the most beautiful women, and put them at your feet, impassioned, helpless slaves is victory.
page 126-127, Tribesmen of Gor 
"Do I train well, Master?" she asked. "Yes," I said, "pretty slave. You are an apt pupil, and you train well." She snuggled against me. "It is a tribute to your intelligence," I said. "Thank you, Master," she said.
page 202, Savages of Gor 
eye to eye contact....
Sometimes in training, incidentally, or as discipline or punishement, the slave is notpermitted to look into theeyes of the master. Indeed, sometimes, in training, she is not permitted to raise her eyes above the belt of the trainer. Also, it must be recognized that many salves often, and perhaps all slaves sometimes, find it difficult to look into the eyes of the master. He, after all, hold total power over them and they fear to displease him.
page 258  later, same subject, page 259 
But, on the other hand, there is, on Gor, in circles of mastery, no discouragement, commonly, of eye contact between masters and slaves. Indeed, in the deep and profound relationships of love and bondage, such eye contact is usually welcomed and encouraged. What can be understood of the glances of masters and slaves by those who have been unitedonly in lesser relationships? Too, to be sure, from the practical point of view, it is useful for a girl to be able to look into the eyes of the master. In this way she may be able to better read his moods, and desires, and, accordingly, be able the better to serve him, in the process perhaps saving herself a few cuffings and beatings, such as might be garnered by the less alert, more slothful, laxer girl.
and more still, on page 259 
From the point of view of the master, too, not only is it pleasant to look into the eyes of a slave, but there are certain practical advantages attatched to doing so. For example, one might, in her eyes, read desire, and thus order her to perform and act which she, even though a slave, might not have dared to bg to perform...

kyna and nairi everyone a safe and happy New Year. may 1998 realize all your dreams, bring you health, happiness and prosperity. please be safe!v
