What Do Gorean Silks Mean?

Most of us have heard of Gor, but not all of us understand it. One of the aspects of Gor that causes the most confusion is Gorean silk colors and what they mean.

Here's the breakdown:

White - virgins slaves-in-training, most prized

“To be sure,' I said, `'white' in the context of 'white-silk girl' tends less to suggest purity and innocence to the Gorean than ignorance, naivete, and a lack of experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, to not only be able to find her way about the furs, but, subject to the whip, owned and dominated, perhaps chained, to prove herself a sensuous treasure within them.”
Savages of Gor, page 205


Red - pleasure slaves, often skilled in particular aspects of sexual service and/or dancing

Yellow - paga/tavern slaves, included in the price of drinks

Black - passion slaves, considered best sexually, n Earth girls could be passion slaves

Purple - color worn by slaves of the Priest-Kings

Gray - color worn by slaves of the state

Blue - slaves of Scribes

Black - unprotected, onowned slaves

More information about Gor to follow in future posts.
