To be a Gorean Master takes more then the ability to toss a ko-lar on
the first woman who enters your Homestone. It means much more than"furring", and
much more then "punishment". To be a Gorean Master One must have the ability to be a
loving Guide, but stern; an Owner, but caring; and a Teacher with patience. A master must be
willing to take a slave and mold her to what He wants, not caring for her needs. A Master
may seem heartless, but he is also able to take up the responsibility of having a slave who
he knows gives her all to please him, but also does not let that go to the extent where the
slave ends up controlling him.He knows those limitations and honors that control in
respect to safety and knows his slaves limits. He is strong for his slave, and though she
may be nothing and disposed of at the blink of an eye, he knows the slaves which truly
are there for his pleasure, not their own. It even says in Tarnsman of Gor, the very first
book, that concern for a slave is out of place. slaves are nothing but property, like a sandal,
a rock, a slave is nothing, does anyone ever ask a rock what they think or feel?

-A Gorean master NEVER inflicts pain in anger. He is able to control his anger before he
can control another.

-He allows the slave mistakes, knowing through these mistakes, she
will learn and grow to be a better slave.

-A true Gorean master never resorts to name-calling, insults, guilt trips to get their
way.

-A Gorean master watches other masters, learns from them always. As with a slave,
a master never stops learning, for when he does, he no longer has the desire to be a master.

WHAT A MASTER NEEDS TO KNOW

1--Trust between a master and a slave is very important. Without trust, there
is nothing.

2--Honor in himself, to know who he is and want that bad enough that no matter
what, he
remains true to his homestone, to the point of not even desiring another home.

3--Strength, to not fold when a slave cries, to not give in to a slaves whining, to
be a master in every sense of the word and know that same slave will grow in
her "lessons" if only he is strong first.

4--To know himself, to be able to take a stand and not back down if it is in his
true mind.

5--He needs to have his own mind in what he wants and yet be willing to learn,
admit, and accept, if wrong.

6--A Master needs to know what he owns, his slave, to be willing to talk if
problems arise, without name calling and insults. A Master masters himself first,
otherwise he becomes a pawn for others, Free and slave.

7--Wisdom to understand the thoughts of a slave before she speaks them.

8--Maturity, to know that life isn't all sexual and to be a Gorean Master involves
much more than that.

9--Humanity, to be willing to listen to his slave, and allow her to voice concerns
which may inhibit the slave/Master relationship.

10-Compassion, to try to give the slave a chance, find out why she hurts or why
she loves..to listen with an open mind, but not be led into becoming the slave.

11-Responsibility for what he himself and his slave does, and deal with it as need
be done, with honor.

12-Courage to admit to his own errors.

13-Ability to be a Teacher, to help his slave learn what he wishes and needs
without anger.

14-Patient, never taking anything out in anger upon his slave.

15-Guide, to lead his slave to learn the true meaning of what it is to serve.

16-The ability to NOT spoil, a slave will never see you in a respectful way if you
constantly feel the need to "reward" her for every little thing she does. she will
see you as weak. How can a slave grow if every little thing she does is rewarded?
she grows from the punishment, at times she CRAVES the punishment to know
you are the one in control, not her..its the way of a real slave...its how she was
brought up and to try to turn her another direction, spoils all she has spent her
entire life to learn. she does things because she is a slave, not because she
expects "rewards". They become meaningless if used over and over. Give them,
if you feel, very rarely....and your slave will crave it and then serve you better
to get it.

HINTS

1. Be honorable, be proud of Your homestone and vow to its allegiance until You no
longer have breath...and don't deceive it in the name of "lust" or personal hurt.

2. Allow a slave little, for then she will crave what You do given when YOU want it to
be given.

3. Find a site with the books or read quotes from the books on how Gorean Masters
are in there. It will help a LOT.

4. NEVER allow a slave to tell You what to do, because it then places You in a slaves
debt...something which is VERY unMaster-like in Gor.

5. Do not allow a slave to get away with anything, for they will continue and it will get
worse. Punish as needed, and do NOT be afraid of hurting the slaves feelings...she
is NOTHING but Your property.

6. Treat a slave as You would a piece of wood. That is what she is equal to. Your honor
is at stake if You ever allow a slave to Master You, instead of You Mastering her.

7. Think out and learn from Other Masters, punishment. What works, what doesn't, and
don't be ashamed to learn more from Other Masters. They will not think less of You.

8. Respect is to the Master, nothing is owed a slave ever.

9. A slave is NOT a Free, do NOT treat her as one. If a TRUE SLAVE wished to be
treated as an equal, she would be a Free, not a slave. This is what she craves and
desires more than anything, control of the Master, and in return, she will bring honor
and respect to Your name. If You are not strong in Mastering Your slave, she will
become frustrated and not wish to please You any longer, knowing there are Other
Masters who can and will treat her as a slave should be treated.

10. A Master is a real Man, in every way. He demands respect and honor regardless
and will give His life for that.

11. Steer away from arguing with slaves or involving Yourself in their disputes. Same
goes with FreeWomen, do not argue with Them, its not worth it.

12. Teach Your slave humility, until You do, You still have a spoiled subbie who does
not respect You. Be strong and yet gentle, a difficult combination, but once met, brings
the best of slaves out.

13. And last, do NOT be afraid to watch,read, ask questions and learn.

SCROLL QUOTES REGARDING BEING A MASTER

"An interesting contrast here is the Gorean master/slave relationship. Men tend to be extremely
interested in things they own, and tend, usually, to be quite fond of them. Owned women do not form
an exception to this general rule. The slave girl is commonly desired and prized by her master; she is
one of his treasures. The Gorean master, interested in her and attentive to her, wants to know everything
about her, in her emotions and feelings, in their feminine, lyrical detail. Conversing with a lovely slave is
one of the many pleasures of owning her. It is almost impossible for a girl to keep her thoughts or feelings
from her master. He knows her too well. Most girls are extremely responsive to their masters, and love
them deeply, with that incredible love which can be known only by an enslaved woman, that love which
a woman can accord only to a man who is her total master. Yet I would be remiss did I not mention that
even the most vital, animate slave, delightedly conversing with her master, knows that at a mere snap of
his fingers she may have to tear aside her garments and serve him as a chain slut. She is owned. Too,
many slave girls are kept by men who are harsh and cold to them, who despise them as mere slaves.
These girls, too, of course, must obey. They, too, of course, must perform perfectly for their masters."


FIGHTING SLAVE OF GOR, Pg. 99

"Excellent slaves are seldom beaten, for there is little if any, reason to do so. To be sure, such a a girl,
particularly a love slave, occasionally desires to feel the stroke of the lash, wanting to feel pain at the hands
of a beloved master, wanting to be whipped by him because she loves him, in this way symbolizing to herself
her relationship to him, that of slave to master, her acceptance of that relationship and her rejoicing in it."

MAGICIANS OF GOR Pg. 124 & 125

"May I speak, Master?" asked the girl. "Yes," I said, as Marcus would not respond to her. This permission
may be given by any free person and is effective, unless it is overruled by the true master."

VAGABONDS OF GOR, Pg.486

"The slave is totally subject to the Master in all ways, and in all things. She is his to do with as he pleases.
She depends on him forher food and the merest scrap of her clothing, if any. She is subject,completely , to
his discipline, to his abuse and his whip. She is owned, like a sandal or saddle. She may be slain even on a
whim, if her master wishes"

BLOOD BROTHERS OF GOR.

"A slave girl is often very careful about meeting the eyes of a free man directly, particularly a stranger. They
can be cuffed or beaten for such insolence"

MAGICIANS OF GOR.

"Code of Warriors emphasizing loyalty to Pride Chiefs and the home stone."

TARNSMAN OF GOR, Pg. 41

"The control of a girl's clothing, and many other things, such as her diet, chaining, name, whether or not
her head is to be shaved, and so on, are all within the purview of the master. His power over the slave
is unqualified and absolute."

MAGICIANS OF GOR Pg. 26

"I considered the unilaterally of the master/slave relationship. All power is with the master. This, of course
, has its effect upon the slave. Let her strive to be such that her master will keep her."

MAGICIANS OF GOR, Pg. 127.
