by raiding parties. They refer to their Masters as “Jarl”, and are typically more
bold, boisterous and playful than the typical kajira, whom they view with some
distaste. Their collars are made of iron, and riveted by hammer around their
necks. The role of a bondmaid tends to be a favorite among those who are new
to role-playing the Gorean lifestyle, as it provides a simple and convenient
backstory (“I was taken in a raid, and forced to become a slave”) and it
provides a semi-plausible explanation for behavior that would, in reality, be
better suited to a BDSM brat-sub than a kajirae trained Gorean. The following
passage from Marauders of Gor beautifully illustrates the typical behavior of
bondmaids:
A bondmaid thrust through the crowd. "Does my Jarl not remember
Gunnhild?" she asked. She whimpered, and slipped to his side, holding
him, lifting her lips to kiss him on the throat, beneath the beard. About her
neck, riveted, was a collar of black iron, with a welded ring, to which a
chain might be attached.
"What of Pouting Lips?" said another girl, kneeling before him, lifting her
eyes to his. Sometimes bondmaids are given descriptive names. The girl
had full, sensuous lips, she was blond; she also smelled of verr; it had
doubtless been she whom I had seen on the slope herding verr. "Pouting
Lips has been in agony awaiting the return of her Jarl," she whimpered.
The Forkbeard shook her head with his great hand.
"What of Olga?" whined another wench, sweet and strapping, blackhaired.
"Do not forget Pretty Ankles, my Jarl," said another wench, a delicious
little thing, perhaps not more than sixteen. She thrust her lips greedily to
the back of his left hand, biting at the hair there.
"Away you wenches!" laughed Ottar. "The Forkbeard has new prizes,
fresher meat to chew!"
(John Norman, Marauders of Gor, 1975)
Admittedly, it is extremely difficult for anyone familiar with the Gorean lifestyle
to imagine any kajira, under any circumstances, trained or untrained, conducting
herself in such a fashion. On the other hand, the role of a bondmaid is a
tempting role indeed for anyone wishing to adopt Gorean ways and become a
slave, without becoming a kajira.
