High-Harness Position
"Split your knees," he said. "More widely."
. . .
"Lift your head," he said. "Higher. Higher!"
She looked up at him, her head far back, the leash on her throat.
. . .
"You need not now keep your head in high-harness position," he said to the girl.
She moved her head.

Heel
"You will be well taught to heel and obey," said he.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 118
The Forkbeard turned about and, one arm about Pudding, the other about Gunnhild, started from the dock.
Hilda followed him, to his left.
"She heels nicely," said Ottar. The men and bond-maids laughed. The Forkbeard stopped. Hilda's face burned red with fury, but she kept her head high.
Pet sleen are taught to heel; so, too, sometimes, are bond-maids; I was familiar with this sort of thing, of course; in the south it was quite common for slave girls, in various fashions in various cities, to heel their masters.
Hilda, of course was a free woman. For her to heel was an incredible humiliation.
The Forkbeard started off again, and then again stopped. Again, Hilda followed him as before.
"She is heeling!" laughed Ottar.
There were tears of rage in Hilda's eyes. What he said, of course, was true. She was heeling. On his ship the Forkbeard had taught her, though a free woman, to heel.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 123
The Forkbeard said nothing to her, but, the next day, when the sun was hot on the deck, and he released her for her exercise, and he walked about the deck, she, though a free woman, heeled him perfectly. The crew had roared with laughter. I, too, had smiled. Hilda the Haughty, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, had been taught to heel.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 125
"My Jarl," said a voice. We turned about. Hilda knelt before Ivar Forkbeard, her hair to his feet. "May I not follow my Jarl?" she begged. "A lowly bond-maid begs to heel her Jarl."
"Then, heel," said Ivar, good-naturedly, turning away.
"Thank you, my Jarl!" she wept, leaping to her feet, falling into step on his left, two steps behind him.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 258
I now carried his shield. I walked behind him, and to the left. I suppose I should have minded. I knew, of course, that I was heeling him.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 31
He turned about and, with his weapons, strode from the camp. I followed him, at his heel, where a slave girl belongs.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 109
I strode toward the market. I must leave soon. The girl stumbled after me, weeping. "Please, Master!" she wept. I did not tell her to heel. It was not necessary. She was slave.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 140
After being led on a leash it is not unusual for a girl to beg her master to be permitted to heel him, following him deferentially in her proper place.
Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 367
I extended my hand. I would snap my fingers. When I snapped my fingers she would rise to her feet and follow me, heeling me, like the sleek domestic beast she was, to her master's lodge. One of the first things a girl is taught to do is to heel.
Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 108
A man's slave usually heels him, following behind him, or behind him on his left.
Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 299
When he left the pit she followed him, a bit behind him and on his left, heeling him.
Kajira of Gor Book 19 Page 113
"Do you know how to heel, Feiqa?" I asked.
"Yes, Master," she said. She was a Gorean woman, familiar at least superficially with the duties and obligations of slaves. To be sure, as a recently free woman, she might perhaps find herself astounded and horrified at some of the things that would now, even routinely, be required of her. I did not know. Certain things which are not only common knowledge to slaves but even a normal, familiar part of their lives seem to be scarcely suspected by free women. These are the sorts of things about which free women, horrified and scandalized, scarcely believing them, sometimes whisper, fearfully, delightedly, among themselves. Some Earth-girl slaves, brought to Got, incidentally, do not even know how to heel. Incredibly, they must be taught. They learn quickly, of course, in the collar, and subject to the whip.
Mercenaries of Gor Book 21 Page 14
I then turned about, again, and hurried even more rapidly after my new master. I did not want to lag too far behind, outside the normal heeling distance.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 290
"You, Claudia, slave girl," she said. "Kneel behind him and to his left." A slave girl, in heeling her master, commonly follows on the left. That she follows indicates that she is subservient, that he is master and she slave; that she follows on the left is a cultural matter probably indexed to the fact that most Goreans are right-handed. Her presence on the left, thus, is not likely to interfere with his draw or the movements of his sword arm.
Renegades of Gor Book 23 Page 214
"Heel," I said.
"Yes, my captor," she said.
I turned to regard her. She would follow me, behind and on the left. In this way the sword arm is not likely to be encumbered.
Vagabonds of Gor Book 24 Page 381
He called Teibar then waved to the men about, and turning about, took his way from the area of the circle. The slave rose to her feet and hurried after him, to heel him.
Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 56
Marcus and I stopped, and Phoebe knelt beside Marcus, back a bit, in close heeling position.
Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 113
In moment or two Marcus was again beside me, and Phoebe behind him, on his left. The girl normally heels a right-handed master on the left, that she not encumber the movements of the weapon hand.
Magicians of Gor Book 25 Page 117
I knelt behind the pit master, to his left. That is the common heeling position.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 321
That woman now, perhaps, with Laura, heeled her master in Brundisium, some paces behind, and to his left.
Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 222
"Master?" asked Ellen. But already he was threading his way through the crowd, and the fires. Swiftly she fell into place behind him, heeling him, behind his left shoulder, but, given the press of the crowd, much more closely than would normally be the case. A slave girl's heeling distance is a function of a particular situation, of local circumstances, so to speak. In an open area a girl will normally heel three to five paces behind, normally on the left. Whereas following on the left, which is usual, may be a simple matter of gratuitous custom, it might also be noted that this arrangement may have a darker origin. If objects are to be handed to a man, say, a warrior, such as a buckler, or barbed war net, this transfer of articles from the left is not likely to discommode or encumber the most common weapon hand which is, of course, the right. On the other hand, it is thought that following on the left is generally a position of less dignity, and thus appropriate for animals, including slaves. A consideration favoring this possibility is that left-handed Goreans will also, commonly, have their sleen, their slaves, and such, follow on the left. A free woman walks proudly beside a free man or, if the press does not permit this, is often accorded the privilege of preceding him. One of the most humiliating things for a Gorean free woman, after she has been enslaved, other than the loss of her name, is that she must now follow, and neither walk beside nor lead.

Cecily had heeled me into the pavilion. After entering with me, she had gone, as was proper, to first obeisance position, beside me, a bit back and to my left.
Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 194 - 195
Commonly, the slave heels the master, usually behind him on his left, as his sword arm is usually the right arm. In this way her presence is not obtrusive, and is unlikely to either distract or encumber him. Also, in this way, he is usually between the slave and other males, possible danger, and such, that she, unarmed and half naked, may be shielded. This also tends to protect her from free women. Too, of course, the position is one of subordination, and is thus fitting for a slave, and domestic animal. For example, a domestic sleen is also likely to heel the master, and also on the left.
Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 415
"Heel us," I snapped.
Dutifully the girls fell in behind us, on our left.
Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 487
Normally the slave remains behind the master, commonly on the left, as she would in heeling him. The free woman, of course, either walks beside the free man, or precedes him. The slave walks behind, for she is a slave. She heels on the left, by custom, as most men are right-handed, and their weapon arm is not to be encumbered. On the other hand, these arrangements are not without value to the slave. In walking behind him, for example, she is protected, sheltered from danger by the wall of his arm and steel.
Swordsmen of Gor Book 29 Page 568
She increased her pace, to close the gap between herself and her master, that she might follow in prescribed heeling position.
Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 141
Interestingly, the Lady Bina was, in many ways, rather different from the typical Gorean free woman. She had observed other free women, with serving slaves, and so she had me heel her, at the proper distance, on the left, appropriately, head down, but she was not at all strict about my looking about and I frequently did so.
Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 207
I rose to my feet, and tied up, as I could, the torn tunic, and replaced the kerchief. I then, carrying the suls, heeled my Mistress from the market.
Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 216
"May I not heel Master?" I said.
"No," he said, "the trail is too narrow." One heels on the left side, usually a little behind. Much depends on the master, the terrain, the crowding, or such.
Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 417
I shall now speak of him simply as Grendel. I heeled him into the large room, and, when he crouched down, at ease, before the broad dais, I knelt behind him, on his left.
Conspirators of Gor Book 31 Page 492
His slave, Donna, was behind him, kneeling, on his left, a common position in which a slave heels her master.

Injection Position
"Lie down there," said Tutina, "on the rug, before his desk, on your right side, with your knees drawn up."
Awkwardly, and with unsteadiness, and some pain, the older woman, tears in her eyes, humiliated, went to her hands and knees, and then to the position to which she had been directed.
"Hereafter," said Tutina, "when you hear the command 'Injection position', in whatever language, you will instantly, and unquestioningly, assume this position."
