What Do They Mean?

The silks that a slave of Gor wears are gifts from her Master, as she has no possessions and all she receives is from him; therefore, the style, the color, and the accessories that she may wear are selected by him. He may select any garment he wishes for his slave, or no garment at all, but we offer this list of generally acknowledged conventional guidelines that may affect the perception of his choices. Tradition tells us that slavegirls are usually "clad only in the brief, diagonally striped slave livery of Gor, a sleeveless, briefly skirted garment terminating some inches above the knee." - Outlaw of Gor

White - The white silk slave is not necessarily virgin, but rather reserved for her Master's sole use. Generally, white silk slaves are permitted to serve food and drink and have conversation from their knees. No laps or alcoves are permitted, as their sexual use is forbidden. Corporal punishment is administered only at the hands of the owner. Masters and Mistresses (if insulted) may choose to embarrass, confine, or display the slave, but may not strike in any way nor permit another to do so. No honorable freeperson will cross the restrictions of the White Silk. New slaves normally wear white silks until they learn to serve and please Masters or Mistresses.

Yellow - Denotes the Inn-owned pleasure slave ... her use is rented and negotiated with the Inn owners and may or may not include sexual favors (full usage) at the owner's discretion.

Red - The mark of a pleasure slave...may generally be used by any freeperson who desires her usage but may be reserved for the sole use of the owner. A pleasure slave is trained in all sexual pleasures, in service, and in dancing. Such kajirae are said to be closest to the houris of the Arabian harem. Collared Red Silk may be reserved solely for the use of their Owners. "True" Red Silks could be collared or uncollared but the slave's sexual pleasures are allowed use by any freeperson. Sometimes payment is made to the Owner for the use of the slave. If an uncollared slave claims to wear red silk, the slave should be prepared to be used as a "red silk" kajira.

Other color and clothing:

Grey - State owned slaves

Black - The mark of an unowned, unpurchased slave. Normally, these uncollared slaves wear a cloth camisk, not made of silk.

Camisk - A cloth that is used to bind and conceal the loins of the slave female, brought between the legs and drawn extremely tight about the waist to emphasis it.

Chalwar - Baggy pants of diaphanous silk, worn by slavegirls of the Tahari; similar to the harem trousers of Earth

Ta-Teera - A simple cloth, slit fully on both side with an opening for the head, worn poncho style. The cloth is held in place with a cord or chain tied tightly about the waist, and its hem barely covers the groin and bottom so that the slave flesh is fully available at all times.

kajirus Garment - There is no distinct garment for a male slave on Gor, since, as it is said, it is not well for them to discover how numerous they are. -Tarl Cabot, Outlaw of Gor
