The Appeal of A Collar

First published on 2/4/2013

That's one big honkin' collar on that slavegirl! Image source: Sex and Submission.com.

Not until I had been playing Gor for a while did I come to understand the appeal of collars. For securing slaves in positions in which they can be used with impunity, wrist cuffs, ankles cuffs and head harnesses are much more useful. But collars have a nice visual appeal. They identify the wearer as a slave, an animal, especially big honkin' metal collars like this one that can't POSSIBLY be mistaken for a necklace (as some slave collars are clearly designed to be -- once again, plausible deniability!).

In combination with chains and a gag as seen above, it's just incredibly fricking hot. Helpless and gagged.

I guess my general aversion to collars is a matter of safety ... necks are very fragile things, securing people by them is dangerous, if you don't know what you're doing, and really, even if you do. But they do have a certain slavey quality that lends them (and their wearers) great visual appeal. I imagine that the fashion of wearing necklaces got started as Roman matrons grew tired of watching their husbands ogling the sexy slavegirls slinking past in their sexy, sexy collars. Next thing you know, necklaces are all the rage, but here's the thing ... the REASON collars are sexy is that the wearer is a slavegirl, and may be used as one wishes. And I'm betting that the first free women that adopted that hot, sexy, scandalous necklace fashion, was signalling to her husband that he could treat her like a slavegirl in bed. Nice! Of course, I'm just theorizing here ... but such FUN theorizing!

That's what you get for wearing one of those newfangled necklace collars! Image source: Sex and Submission.com.

Slave Girl Rigged For Transport

Found another excellent artists mining the treasure trove of imagery provided by the Gor novels, and more particularly Gorean roleplay on Second Life, which is arguably the most important venue for Gorean anything nowadays, with tens of thousands of active players and God knows how many former players.

It may not sound like much compared to something like World of Warcraft, but you have to realize that the marketing budget for Second Life Gor roleplay is this: $0.00. In fact, Second Life never promotes this popular roleplay venue on their grid, because of you know, all that crazy sex slavery and maledom/femsub stuff that goes into it. (Never mind that Gor Evolved, the most popular brand of SL Gor roleplay, is mostly about the combat.)

Point is, SL Gor has more of a negative marketing budget going for it and yet continues to thrive, mainly because it's fun for grown-ups.

And Greta Heron is one of a number of artists on Deviantart who use the Gorean roleplay and stories as sources of powerful, vivid, sexy imagery. This art is very much by the book: it's mentioned that slaves were often hooded, collared and chained together when they travelled. In fact, it's not QUITE by the book as the books also claimed that the slaves were gagged as well (with gags built into the hoods). Very nice bit of imagery with the two fellows leering at the unseeing slave as she passes. She has a bit of a smile on her face, perhaps they made a few comments about her as she passed.

As you can see, this art has the Deviantart logo on it, but if you go to her gallery and buy one of her prints, etc., you can get the art without the logo. Even if you don't lots of other naked women in bondage to see in her gallery. So ... check it out!

Star Wars Online Worried About Slave Leia Roleplay?

"Jabba WOULD sell me to a Gorean paga tavern! Image Source: Original art by me, Pat Powers.

So my flying monkey brought home a link about Slave Girl Leia, which didn't seem to productive at first glance ... a discussion on what appears to be an official forum of the Star Wars: The Old Republic online RP game. It starts off innocently enough, with an RPer asking where she can get a sexy slavegirl outfit for her character. There are a couple of reasonable sorts of responses, then long about the fifth post the mod rushes in and locks the thread on the grounds that"We ask that everyone hold off on submitting feedback until they have experienced gameplay on Public Test." Check it out here.

Seemed kind of abrupt to me, then the penny dropped. Star Wars is not exactly Gor, but let's face it, the Web is FULL of visual evidence that fantasies about Slave Leia are pretty much all about sex slavery. Or heroic rescues from sex slavery. Often, both! (See above, and below.)

So, Star Wars probably wants to attract that wonderful, mythical FAMILY audience that corporations love so much, and they are probably EXTREMELY leery of all the RP that Slave Leia is likely to spawn, so they're EXTREMELY skittish about it. I mean, it COULD be that the thread was shut down purely for the technical reasons that were cited, but it sure seemed awfully HASTY to me. I'm betting, corporate stuffed shirts gave out orders to put the nix on the sexy slave girl stuff.

Good luck with that, corporate stuffed shirts.

HAD to include this image, it's the best Slave Leia fake I've seen by a long shot. Found it on the NVM discussion board. Attempts to chase down the actual origin proved futile except for several other discussion boards and pic posts, despite the fact that there was a cartouche on the original image that said, "faked by HM." Googling the image, the term "faked by HM," "fakes by HM," "photomanips" and "HM" all proved futile, as did Googling the cartouche that said "faked by HM." So, whoever you are, HM ... good work! There's a lot of other good Slave Leia art on the NVM board and elsewhere on the Web, have fun checking it out.

Slave Girl Marketing

"Well no wonder the slave girls aren't selling! You've got them sitting right under the fish racks! What the HELL were you thinking? Go bathe the lot of them and sit them over by the spice merchants! Idiot!"

Image is a publicity still from the recent "Conan the Barbarian" movie, which by all accounts was ruined by a similar error ... gave the movie to a known idiot director. What the HELL were they thinking?

This sort of mistake would never happen on Gor!

Are Waitresses Slavegirls?

First published on 10/12/2008

"Hi, I'm Maggie Gyllenhaal, I'll be your paga waitress tonight. What would you ...? The alcove? Yes master, right away master." (Grumble Grumble.) "Doesn't anybody eat or drink anything when they go to a restaurant any more?"

For October 12 we update Bondagerotica with an article which answers a question no one has ever asked, except for harried waitresses on busy nights: "Are Waitresses Slave Girls?" We pay particular attention to the concept of paga slaves as developed by John Norman in his Gor novels, as a demonstration of what waitressing would be like if waitresses WERE sex slaves. We don't particularly address what would happen if Maggie Gyllenhaal were a paga slave confined to an alcove for a customer, as seen above. We leave that as an exercise for our readers. Don't wear yourselves out!
