question -s-

Tal Kaliana –smiles-

I absolutely love your library and use it often as a reference. I was reading the section on slaves and didn’t see something that has been a pet peeve of mine for some time. -g- I was wondering if you could help me.

A friend and I were discussing the mannerisms of online slaves in comparison to the books the other day and we were both in agreement (perhaps wrongly) that we felt those girls that willingly called themselves names other than the name allowed by their master, such as slut, whore, beast, bitch, f**ktoy, etc, were showing no self respect to either themselves for their Master’s property.

My query is this, having read fourteen books and by no means all, thus you likely know more than I, I have found that Free use such terms as beast or slut or whore often in settings to remind the slave of her station, to humiliate her and make her admit her baser/sexual needs. I do not remember the slaves calling themselves by such names regularly and in place of their given names when not punished. Am I wrong in this line of thinking?

By earthen definitions the term slut is derogatory and demeaning in the terms of a loose person that will sleep with anyone, it is not a definition of a wildly sexual woman with no inhibitions towards one man. Now this of course being a Gorean setting in the books, the definition may not apply but I found it to be apt when I read the books. The term slut was mostly used to show slaves that they needed and begged the touch of *any* man.

Perhaps this is splitting hairs? Or being too anal about the books and if so, I apologize. -s- It was simply something that I have spoken with others about and thought perhaps with your excellent book research you might be able to shed some insights on the discussion or if you had any handy quotes to help.

I am not asking this for you to scour the books and supply any and all quotes that pertain to this –laughs- I have the majority of the books and I wouldn’t ask you to spend your time doing something I can do -g-. I am simply interested in both your opinion and if I missed this section in your library.

Thank you for your time and efforts!
Well wishes,
Kassa.
