The Collar

     A girl has been asked "why aren't you collared, little one?" more times than a girl cares to count, and her answer is always the same. "When it is right, she will take a collar."

     This girl see's so many newcomers to Gor, taking collars within days of their arrival. As if it is some kind of Urthly fashion statement. The Gorean Collar is a sign of commitment, of a slave to a Master, and visa versa. Each with their own responsibilities to each other. The Gorean Collar, shows the surrender of a slave to One Master, One Man, who will own the slave for as long as she is pleasing to Him. Her willingness to give herself to Him completely and in all ways.

     The Gorean Collar is not a toy, or an adornment, to be taken lightly or easily. It has deep meaning. Something that many do not take into consideration. She has heard that slave's cannot survive without a collar, or that Master's are gamers for not collaring a slave because she *wants* His collar.

     This girl finds being uncollared not hard to manage, she can freely travel Gor, she is not restricted in her goings and comings, but she must own up to her own actions. That builds character and increases her strength in being slave. It permits her to learn and speak to others in a way no collared slave may be permitted to do via the rules of her owner. She has the freedom to learn from many not just one, and to see the different forms of Mastery as no two Master's are alike.

     It is the Master's choice, whom He will choose to wear His steel, it is not up to a slave to decide that. She can beg, He can collar or kill, that is His choice. He is not a gamer for not wanting to collar every girl that comes along. He, is a Master, seeking who and what is right for Him.

     There are many not only searching for what they can learn and understand on IRC GOR, but there are a few who take it to real life. This is not a game to them, it is their being. The collar is also not a game, it is a commitment!

     Before taking a collar, think seriously, is it right? Is He the Master for you? Have we taken the time to know each other? The general rule of thumb is to know the Master for at least a month, ask questions of others about Him. Don't be in such a hurry, it is NOT a fashion statement, it is a commitment!
