The main purpose of slave garments, of course, is not particularly to clothe the girl, for she need not even be clothed, as she is an animal, but to, as I have suggested, "set her off." Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 108
There is much confusion in the online environment over the color of slave silk and what the color of this silk means.
I have researched the series and have collected here an exhaustive reference of silk colors.
There are, in fact, 12 different variations of color.
However, nowhere in the writings is the color of silk an indication of the 'level' of a slave.
In other words, unlike the belt color of a karate student, a slave does not start out in one color, progress through other colors and finally attain a coveted color.
Predominantly though, there do seem to be a couple of color preferences. One is that many paga slaves are dressed in yellow silk and another that many dancing slaves are dressed in scarlet.
However this is simply not a hard fast rule. In fact, there are no "rules" at all.
But what about the muchly debated topic of "white silk" and "red silk"?
First, these three quotes:
"Are you white silk?" I asked.
"I am a virgin," she said.
"Then you are white silk," I said.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 172
Similarly, the expression "red silk," in Gorean, tends to be used as a category in slaving, and also, outside the slaving context, as an expression in vulgar discourse, indicating that the woman is no longer a virgin, or, as the Goreans say, at least vulgarly of slaves, that her body has been opened by men. Its contrasting term is "white silk," usually used of slaves who are still virgins, or, equivalently, slaves whose bodies have not yet been opened by men. Needless to say, slaves seldom spend a great deal of time in the "white-silk" category. It is common not to dally in initiating a slave into the realities of her condition.
Blood Brothers of Gor Page 472
Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not a girl has been "opened" for the uses of men. Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are 'white silk' and 'red silk', for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.

Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 128
Notice, it is obvious that the terms of 'white silk' and 'red silk' do not refer to the color of clothing the slave is wearing but instead to whether or not she is a virgin.
Does this mean that every virgin must then be dressed in white silk?
Notice these quotes:
"I have put you in red silk," I said. "Is it appropriate?"
"It certainly is not!" she said.
"Perhaps it soon will be," I said.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 405
"Tela, when captured," he said, indicating a blonde, "begged to be permitted to be kept in white silk." He laughed. "After throwing her to a crew, for their pleasure, we put her, as she had asked, in white silk." "Amusing," I said. "She now often begs for red silk," he said. "Perhaps we will one day permit it to her."

Two different girls are mentioned.
The first, a virgin, is literally dressed in red silk. The color did not remove her virginity.
The second, no longer a virgin, was dressed in white silk. The color of white silk did not restore her hymen.
It simply pleased the particular master that they were dressed in the color they were.
In other words, a virgin need not be dressed in white, anymore than a slave who is no longer a virgin be dressed in red.
To put it another way, if every virgin had to be dressed in white silk, then every girl no longer a virgin would have to be dressed in red silk. Obviously such a 'rule' simply does not exist. There are many different colors of slave silk.
To be sure, of course, the color of the garment, on Gor, would not be likely to be white, but, commonly, red or yellow. White, on Gor, is a color commonly associated with virginity. It is, accordingly, worn by few slaves.
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 251
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 251
In conclusion, all conjecture aside, and by the Books, this quote is the final authority.
A "white-silk girl" is a virgin; one who is not a virgin is sometimes referred to as a "red-silk girl." This need not refer, literally, of course, to the color of their garmenture.
Witness of Gor, Book 26 Page 14

I wore the belled collar, and belled ankle ring, of the tavern, and a bit of black silk. On the silk, in yellow, there were words, which Narla had translated for me. "I am Yata. Own me at the Chatka and Curla."

She seemed flattered, then bent to the task of poking about in that pile of heavy, filthy garments. They must have been as offensive to her nostrils as to mine. At last she took a relatively unsoiled undergarment, something blue and silk, bare at the shoulders, and drew it on, belting it with a strip of what had been her veil.
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 106
She laughed again and disappeared, and I soon heard the sounds of her splashing delightedly in the water. She emerged a few minutes later, having washed her hair and the blue silk gown she wore.
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 112
She glared at me, knowing that she must play her role, at least in the presence of Kazrak. She tossed her head haughtily. "Of course not," she said, adding ironically, "Master." Her back straight as a tarn-goad, she disappeared behind the silk hanging. A moment later the torn rag of blue silk flew out from behind the hanging.

"I had intended to rent a dancing slave in Vonda," said the Lady Florence to her guests, "a decorous girl in blue silk and a golden collar, who might by the loveliness and grace of her movements please us, but it slipped my mind.

The Pleasure Slaves who served wore green pleasure silk, and the tops of the tables and the walls were also painted green; even the curtains on the alcoves by one wall were green.

I pulled the wide bands of green silk about me, more closely. They would resemble, initially, a gown, but they were not truly a gown. They would be unlooped and lifted away, bit by bit, beginning about the head and the feet, gradually, cunningly, revealing me.

She was very slender, and exquisite, in the sheath of green silk.

The girl ran to my side in a swirl of many-colored silks and from beneath the Robes of Concealment she withdrew my sword and kneeling at my side lowered her head and placed it in my hand. "Cabot my Master!" she cried.

She was clad in Robes of Concealment, but their texture and color were a far cry from the glorious vanities often expressed in such garments, the silken purples, yellows and scarlets that the Gorean maiden delighted in; the robes were of coarse brown cloth, tattered and caked with dirt.

"No!" called another girl, from the side, kneeling, in brief purple silk, lifting small pinioned wrists.

Cernus smiled. "Our Physicians ascertained," said he, "that she is only a Red Silk Girl."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 45
Cernus turned to Caprus, who stood near him. "Is she trained?" he asked.
"No," said Caprus. "She is Red Silk but she knows almost nothing."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 47
She laughed. "It could be far worse," she said. "At least I am a Red Silk girl."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 56
The allusion was to certain practices having to do with the merchandising of Red Silk Girls, in private sales for individual and important clients of the House.
. . .
"Very well, Red Silk Girl," said I, "perform."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 57
Some of the girls, judging by the stripes on the hoods and cloaks were White Silk, and others Red Silk.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 147
Sura turned to Ho-Tu. "The Tuchuk girl," she said, "keeps quarters with the Assassin. I do not object. Take the others to cells of Red Silk."
"They are White Silk," said Ho-Tu.
Sura laughed. "Very well," she said, "to cells of White Silk. Feed them well. You have almost crippled them. How you expect me to train crippled barbarians I am not clear."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 154
She was attired in a brief gown of red Pleasure Silk, prescribed for her because she was a Red Silk Girl and in training.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 176
Another girl approached similarly, though she was attired in a tunic of red silk.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 187
Later, in the eighteenth week of their training, they were given brief silken slave livery, sleeveless, fastened by the loop on the left shoulder. Virginia and Phyllis were given white livery, Elizabeth red.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Pages 199 - 200
It is, incidentally, one of the perquisites of employment in the house of a slaver that a member of the guard or staff may ask for, and generally receive, the use of whatever Red Silk Girls he pleases.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 203
Each of the girls would wear brief silken slave livery, sleeveless, the disrobing loop on the left shoulder. Elizabeth wore red, Virginia and Phyllis white.

"She will be more comfortable," I said. "Besides," I said, "she is only Red Silk."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 215
"Let Lana serve Relius wine," said another girl, a Red Silk Girl, first to the guard, leaning toward him, lips parted.
Relius put out his cup but before the girl could pour the wine she seemed suddenly to fly off the back of the dais, the seat of her tunic firmly grasped in the small hand of Virginia Kent. Lana landed with a considerable bump on the stones of the hall, the wine flying backward.
"Relius guards Virginia," the young slave girl from Earth informed collared, Red Silk Lana.
Lana scrambled to her feet, angry, her pitcher of wine set aside on the wet, red stones. The two girls stood facing one another.
"I wear the leash of Relius," said Virginia. "I wear his bracelets!"
Lana looked at Relius. "Leash Lana," she said. "Lana is Red Silk." She extended her wrists provocatively to Relius. "Put your bracelets on Lana. She is Red Silk. She will serve you better than a silly little White Silker."
. . .
At this point Virginia Kent put down her pitcher of wine, seized Lana by the shoulder, spun her about and struck her a rather severe blow near the left eye. Several of the men and girls at and about the tables approvingly observed the two girls rolling and scratching, biting and tearing on the floor, first White Silk on top, and then Red Silk, and then White Silk again. At last Virginia Kent, to the cheers of several of those present, sat atop Lana and was pummeling her mercilessly, until Lana, throwing up her arms and shrieking, crying out, begged for mercy.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Pages 238 - 239
"I will pay," said Ho-Sorl, "the difference between what she will bring as Red Silk and White Silk."
Phyllis shrieked in fear, wiggling on his shoulder, pounding.
Ho-Tu apparently gave the matter very serious thought.
"Don't you want to be Red Silk?" he asked Phyllis, who, from her position, could not see him.
"No, no, no!" she cried.
"By tomorrow night," pointed out Ho-Sorl, neatly, "she may be Red Silk anyway."
"No, no!" wept Phyllis.
"Where would you make her Red Silk?" asked Ho-Tu.
"The pit of sand will do," said Ho-Sorl.
Phyllis shrieked with misery.
"Would you not like Ho-Sorl to make you Red Silk?" asked Ho-Tu of Phyllis.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 241
"Don't look so disappointed," said a Red Silk Girl passing near her, carrying Ka-la-na.
Phyllis made an angry noise.
"Poor little White Silk slave," said another Red Silk Girl passing between the tables.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 242
"What is your name?" demanded Ho-Tu of the Red Silk Girl.
"Lana," she said, "if it pleases Master."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 246
Sura's pride and her position in the House, though she was slave, had been resented by many of the men and staff; perhaps even Cernus felt she had overstepped herself; surely he seemed pleased that she would now be humbled, now used as a common Red Silk Girl.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 248
"You are Red Silk," I said.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 253
I have much gold, and some power, and my pick of Red Silk Girls.

Then I understood what was going on, perhaps belatedly, for I knew the girl, Red Silk before the black ships, was extremely responsive, and had even been used in the hall of Cernus for the amusement of his Warriors and guards . . .

"These are three barbarians, two White Silk, one Red Silk," called the auctioneer, "all from the House of Cernus, whom it is our hope you will find pleasing."

"Can you guess," asked the auctioneer, "which of the three slaves is Red Silk?"

"Before she is delivered to Samos," Cernus was saying, "I think I will have her returned to the house and use her. She intrigued me this evening. Since she is Red Silk Samos will not object."

"She is only white silk," said Lana. "Lana is red silk. Let Lana please you."

"I hope she is red silk," said the other.
"If she is not when we apprehend her," said the other, "by the time we turn her over to Haakon she will be of the reddest of silks."
"Haakon might not be pleased," said the other.
The first laughed. "Haakon does not know which girl is red silk and which is white silk."
"That is true," grinned the other.
"Besides," pointed out the first, "do you really think Haakon expects us to return white silk girls to his chain?"

Sometimes I saw the dark-haired girl, in red silk with the two golden bangles on her left ankle, when I passed by the tent.

"But," had said Ute, "if a man seizes you, you are not to yield yourself to him, for you are white silk."
A flash of irritation passed through me. "I am charged with the protection of my market value?" I asked, ironically.
"Yes," said Ute, matter-of-factly. "Though I, if I were a man, would pay more for a red-silk girl."
"I must do nothing," I said, "to diminish the investment of Rask of Treve?"
"That is correct," said Ute.
"What if I am simply seized, and my attacker is not prepared to listen to reason?" I asked.
Ute laughed. It was the first time I had seen her laugh in the camp. I was pleased I had made her laugh.
"Cry out," said Ute, "and the others will take you from him and get him a red-silk girl."
"All right," I had said.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Pages 306 - 307
The man whom I had served wine reached clumsily for me.
"I am white silk!" I cried, shrinking back.
"Wine!" cried the other man.
I tried to rise, but the man's hand was knotted in the silk. If I moved I would strip myself.
Another girl, on her knees, reaching for him, holding his head, insinuated herself between us. "I am red silk!" she murmured. "Touch me! Touch me!"
His hand left my silk and I darted away.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 325
I was white silk!
It was safe to dance before them as I pleased.
And so Elinor Brinton danced to torment them.
They cried out with anguish and pleasure. How pleased I was in my power!
As the music changed so, too, did the dancer, and she became as one with the music, a frightened girl, new to the collar, a timid girl, delicate and submissive, a lonely slave, yearning for her master, a drunken wench, rejecting her slavery, a proud girl, determined to be defiant, a raw, red-silk slave, mad with the need for a master's touch.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 328
Inge and Rena, I sensed, regarded me in a new fashion. "Slave!" they had said to me. And I had said to them, "Yes - Slave!" and kissed them. I had then sped away. They envied me. I pitied them in my way, for they were mere ignorant girls, white-silk girls. I was red silk!
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 337
I tossed him the pouch of gold, from which I had drawn the coins to purchase his freedom, and the arrogant, slender, red-silked girl for him, to be his slave.

Ibn Saran, not taking his eyes from Alyena, lifted his finger, From one side a slave girl, barefoot, bangled, in sashed, diaphanous, trousered, chalwar, gathered at the ankles, in tight, red-silk vest, with bare midriff, fled to him, with the tall, graceful, silvered pot containing the black wine. She was veiled. She knelt, replenishing the drink. Beneath her veil I saw the metal of her collar.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 88
I looked at the incredibly lovely girl in the mirror, she bedecked in a rope of red silk, made-up, perfumed, vulnerable, soft, with armlets and bracelets, golden beads intertwined in the Turian collar.

"Meat, Dina!" cried another man, and I hastened to him, to kneel and serve him. I wore red silk, a golden necklace about my throat, intertwined with my collar, and bells.

Any girl on the ship, incidentally, unless she is certified "white silk," a virgin, is free to the sailors for their sport. There were no "white-silk" girls on board; we were all "red silk." This was not unusual. There are few virgin slaves. Their virginity usually does not last more than an Ahn beyond their first sale.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 317
"There," I said, "you will be stripped and branded."
"Branded?" she said. I do not think she understood me. Her Earth mind would find this hard to understand. She was not yet cognizant of Gorean realities. She would learn them swiftly. No choice would be given her.
"Is she to be sold red-silk?" I asked Samos.
He looked at the girl. "Yes," he said. The guards grinned. It would be a girl who knew herself as a woman when she ascended the block.
"I thought you said I would be stripped and branded," she said, laughing.
"Yes," I said, "that is precisely what I said."
"No!" she screamed. "No!"
"Then," I said, "you will be raped, and taught your womanhood. When you have learned your womanhood, you will be caged. Later you will be sold."

Behind him, in pleasure silk, came three girls. Poalu was in brief yellow pleasure silk, and Audrey and Barbara in brief red pleasure silk.

"I have put you in red silk," I said. "Is it appropriate?"
"It certainly is not!" she said.
"Perhaps it soon will be," I said.
. . .
The red silk would diminish suspicion. A red-silked girl in a Gorean fortress is a not uncommon sight.

"There is a stain of blood on your thigh," I said.
"My Master took my virginity," she said.
"You are now a red-silk girl," I said.
"Yes, Master," she said, "I am now a red-silk girl."

"Tela, when captured," he said, indicating a blonde, "begged to be permitted to be kept in white silk." He laughed.

"Relia, Tela, to him," said Policrates. These two girls, Relia discarding her red silk and Tela opening her white silk, and throwing it back, hurried to kneel near me.

"You were white silk," I said. "Now you are red silk."
. . .
"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 and naivety, and a lack of experience. 'Red,' in the context of 'red-silk girl,' on the other hand, connotes rather clearly, I think, experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, not only to 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."
"I am red-silk," she said. "Have me."
Savages of Gor Book 17 Page 205
Similarly, the expression "red silk," in Gorean, tends to be used as a category in slaving, and also, outside the slaving context, as an expression in vulgar discourse, indicating that the woman is no longer a virgin, or, as the Goreans say, at least vulgarly of slaves, that her body has been opened by men. Its contrasting term is "white silk," usually used of slaves who are still virgins, or, equivalently, slaves whose bodies have not yet been opened by men. Needless to say, slaves seldom spend a great deal of time in the "white-silk" category. It is common not to dally in initiating a slave into the realities of her condition.
Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 472
Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not a girl has been "opened" for the uses of men. Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are 'white silk' and 'red silk', for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.

"Treasure your silly virginity," said Tupita, "for you will not have it long."
"Red-silk slut!" I said to her, angrily, adding, "Mistress."
"By tomorrow," said Tupita, "you, too, will be only a red-silk slut."

I had been opened, I thought. I was now "red silk"!

Could I actually be responding to him, this brute who had opened me in a Gorean tavern, this monster who had but a moment ago red-silked me!

"There is now a red-silk ribbon on your collar, Doreen," said Tupita. "What is the meaning of that?"
"That I have been red-silked, Mistress," I said.
"Yes," said Tupita.
"Close the curtain, Mistress!" I begged.
"Why?" asked Tupita. "Are you modest?"
"No, Mistress," I sobbed. Slaves are not permitted modesty.
"You are now only a red-silk slut, Doreen," she said, "no different from the rest of us!"

I had then worn the rectangle of red silk, that in which he was accustomed to put his use slaves.

For example, sometimes, when slaves are taken to Ubars, and such, they are stripped and wrapped in a scarlet sheet, if they are "red silk," and in a white sheet, if they are "white silk." They are then placed in the master's chambers, often through a panel in the door, the sheet remaining behind.
Renegades of Gor Book 23 Page 199
A "white-silk girl" is a virgin; one who is not a virgin is sometimes referred to as a "red-silk girl." This need not refer, literally, of course, to the color of their garmenture.

He held up the ribbon before her. It was about eight or ten inches long, an inch wide, and of red silk.
"You have been had," he said, in English. And then he added, in Gorean, "You have now been opened for the uses of men, for the pleasures of men."
"You are now a red-silk girl," he said.
Prize of Gor Book 27 Pages 195 - 196
"Are you red silk?" he asked.
She looked down at her bared body, in consternation, startled, caught off guard, suddenly distraught, suddenly seeming to understand almost nothing. Obviously she was unclothed, completely, utterly, let alone clothed in silk, of any color. She was naked, slave naked, in her chains, uncomfortable on the hot shelf. What could he have been asking?
Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 214 - 215
"I am now 'red silk,'" she said.
"As is common with slaves," he said.
"But I do not have a thread of red silk on my body," she chided.
"A red-silk slave," he said, "is red silk even if naked."

Scarlet Silk

As I mused, Talena stepped forth from behind the silk curtain. I had thought she had retired. Instead, she stood before me in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor.
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 134
She danced before me for several minutes, her scarlet dancing silks flashing in the firelight, her bare feet, with their belled ankles, striking softly on the carpet.
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 135
That night, at a great feast, he displays the captive, now suitably attired by his sisters in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor.
. . .
Though she is clad only in the almost transparent scarlet dancing silks of Gor, her back is straight, her head held high.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 52
She was clad in Robes of Concealment, but their texture and color were a far cry from the glorious vanities often expressed in such garments, the silken purples, yellows and scarlets that the Gorean maiden delighted in; the robes were of coarse brown cloth, tattered and caked with dirt.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 55
Kron clapped his hands again and to my surprise there was a sudden sound of bells and four terrified girls, obviously chosen for their beauty and grace, stood before our table clad only in the scarlet dancing silks of Gor.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 225
"If you win for us," Albrecht said to her, grinning down from the saddle of the kaiila, "this night you will be given a silver bracelet and five yards of scarlet silk."
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 74
Already Marlenus had ordered wines and slave chains, and dancing silks, of diaphanous scarlet, sent to the Warrior's compartment.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 404
She wore dancing silk. It was scarlet.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 408
I heard the flash of a pair of bangles and saw a dark-haired girl, the two golden bangles on her left ankle, come to the opening of the tent. She wore brief, diaphanous scarlet silk. She looked at me, and then quickly tied shut the tent flaps.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 275
Always she wore only the brief garment of scarlet, diaphanous silk. Always, about her left ankle, fastened, were two golden bangles.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 300
On the sand, before the warriors, belled, in scarlet silk, the girl, Talena, danced.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 324
She was clad in a brief bit of diaphanous scarlet silk, slave silk.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 8
The hall was silent. No musicians played; no cup companions laughed and drank, lifting their goblets; on the broad, flat tiles before me, under the torches, barefoot, collared, in scarlet silks, bells at their wrists and ankles, there danced no slave girls.
Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 1
The girl wore Gorean dancing silk. It hung low upon her bared hips, and fell to her ankles. It was scarlet, diaphanous.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 8
Those at the table paid us little attention. All eyes were on the dark-haired dancer, the skirt of diaphanous scarlet dancing silk low upon her hips.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 25
I then considered how I might appear, so made up, so perfumed, so adorned, but now in a snatch of brief silk, yellow or scarlet, clinging, diaphanous, fit for a man's pleasure girl.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 80
Her body was clad, if one may so speak of her garment, in a brief, obscenely luscious snatch of transparent, scarlet slave silk.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 343
I wondered how she might look in scarlet silk, dancing as a slave before any men.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 180
She turned before me, the gown of sheer, scarlet silk, almost diaphanous, like slave silk, swirling about her.
Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 199
We both wore scarlet pleasure silk. It was diaphanous, and left little doubt as to the lineaments of our figures.
Kajira of Gor Book 19 Page 278
I looked at my breasts. In the tiny bit of scarlet silk they had given me to wear, their form, and loveliness, if they were lovely, would be in little doubt.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 33
She who was first amongst us wore a sleeveless silken vest, scarlet, against which her beauty protested. It was tied shut with a tiny string, the ends of which are loose, that they might, with a casual tug, be freed, the vest then ready to be slipped away, to the back. Her two assistants wore scarlet halters, fastened in front with accessible hooks.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 72
Was there so much, for example, to the silk she wore, the open skirt, held only at the left hip by a single, easily detached golden clasp, one which might be flicked away with a finger, to the scarlet silken vest, against which her beauty strained, tied at the front with a scarlet string, one which could be undone with a single tug?
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 89
There was one woman besides myself on the terrace. She wore scarlet silk.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 177
The woman in scarlet silk rose somewhat angrily. She had a narrow steel collar on her neck, which had been covered by the earlier higher, heavier collar, that to which her chain had been attached. I was quite pleased to see that she was collared. She too then was only a slave!
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 181
Her breasts were haltered in scarlet silk. She wore a long slave strip, some six inches in width, also of scarlet silk, secured by a cord, the strip put over the cord in front, taken between her legs, drawn up snugly behind and passing over the cord in back. The free ends of the strip, lovely, before and behind, were something like two feet in length.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 431
I saw the belled slave, she in the scarlet silk, leashed by one of the raiders.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 433
I noted, startled, the brunette, long haired, her legs muchly bared in brief scarlet silk, in a golden collar, who had been among the first to flee the wall. She now lay near me, under the first slave ring to my left. She seemed half in shock. She was looking down at the stones, frightened, her legs drawn up. I do not think she knew me. The scarlet silk informed me, and all who might look upon her, that she was to be understood as a pleasure slave.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 482
She was in her silks, again, the sleeveless, silken scarlet vest, tied shut with a mere string, and the belly silk, scarlet, too, in the Harfaxian drape, fastened at the left hip with a golden clasp.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Pages 674 - 675
She wore a brief, silken, scarlet, diaphanous gown. It left little to conjecture of, concerning her beauty.
Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 22
She lifted a swirling skirt of diaphanous dancing silk, scarlet, and shook it out.
. . .
"Lift your arms," said the girl.
"Good," said the girl. Ellen's breasts were now closely haltered, in scarlet silk.
Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 432
But, too, of course, in examining the bells she had revealed her leg, the left leg, the brand leg, through the parting in the swirling skirt of scarlet slave silk.

White Silk
Here are relevant references from the Books where White Silk is mentioned.
These include both the color of the silk and reference to virginity, or lack thereof.
It is not meant to be anything other than the facts of the matter. Arrive at your own conclusions.
"I scarcely supposed," said I, "that you would permit a White Silk Girl to go alone on the streets of Ar."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 45
These would be girls in training, some of them perhaps White Silk Girls, being accustomed to the routines and techniques of serving at table.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 88
"Of course," said Ho-Tu, "you may not have her tonight, for she is White Silk."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 89
Ho-Tu looked at me and grinned. "They know nothing of men," said he.
"You mean they are White Silk?" I asked.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 116
"Have you prepared the initial papers on them?" asked Ho-Tu.
"Yes," said Flaminius.
"How many are white silk?" asked Ho-Tu.
"Six," said Flaminius.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 129
Some of the girls, judging by the stripes on the hoods and cloaks were White Silk, and others Red Silk. The White Silk Girls, of course, having been released from the house, would have been placed in locked, iron belts.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 147
Sura turned to Ho-Tu. "The Tuchuk girl," she said, "keeps quarters with the Assassin. I do not object. Take the others to cells of Red Silk."
"They are White Silk," said Ho-Tu.
Sura laughed. "Very well," she said, "to cells of White Silk. Feed them well. You have almost crippled them. How you expect me to train crippled barbarians I am not clear."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 154
Virginia and Phyllis, in their cells, would wear similar gowns, but of white silk.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 176
A girl in a tunic of white silk, gracefully, carrying a large pitcher of diluted Ka-la-na wine, approached our table from the rear, and climbed the stairs, delicately, and as though timidly, head down. Then she leaned forward behind me, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful. Her voice in my ear was a whisper, an invitation. I looked at her. Her eyes met mine, beautiful, deep, gray. Her lips were slightly parted. "Wine, Master?" asked Virginia Kent.
"Yes," I said, "I will have wine."
Virginia served me, bowed her head and backed gracefully down the stairs behind me, then turned and hurried away.
"She is White Silk, of course," said Ho-Tu.
"I know," I said.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 186
Later, in the eighteenth week of their training, they were given brief silken slave livery, sleeveless, fastened by the loop on the left shoulder. Virginia and Phyllis were given white livery, Elizabeth red.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Pages 199 - 200
"Doubtless," I said, as though irritated with her question, "were the slave Virginia not White Silk the man Relius would have asked for her long ago."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 202
And," I said, rather loudly, looking at Phyllis, "were the slave Phyllis not White Silk she would have found herself used frequently, and well, by the man Ho-Sorl."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 203
Each of the girls would wear brief silken slave livery, sleeveless, the disrobing loop on the left shoulder. Elizabeth wore red, Virginia and Phyllis white.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 214
"Let Lana serve Relius wine," said another girl, a Red Silk Girl, first to the guard, leaning toward him, lips parted.
Relius put out his cup but before the girl could pour the wine she seemed suddenly to fly off the back of the dais, the seat of her tunic firmly grasped in the small hand of Virginia Kent. Lana landed with a considerable bump on the stones of the hall, the wine flying backward.
"Relius guards Virginia," the young slave girl from Earth informed collared, Red Silk Lana.
Lana scrambled to her feet, angry, her pitcher of wine set aside on the wet, red stones. The two girls stood facing one another.
"I wear the leash of Relius," said Virginia. "I wear his bracelets!"
Lana looked at Relius. "Leash Lana," she said. "Lana is Red Silk." She extended her wrists provocatively to Relius. "Put your bracelets on Lana. She is Red Silk. She will serve you better than a silly little White Silker."
. . .
At this point Virginia Kent put down her pitcher of wine, seized Lana by the shoulder, spun her about and struck her a rather severe blow near the left eye. Several of the men and girls at and about the tables approvingly observed the two girls rolling and scratching, biting and tearing on the floor, first White Silk on top, and then Red Silk, and then White Silk again. At last Virginia Kent, to the cheers of several of those present, sat atop Lana and was pummeling her mercilessly, until Lana, throwing up her arms and shrieking, crying out, begged for mercy.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Pages 238 - 239
"I will pay," said Ho-Sorl, "the difference between what she will bring as Red Silk and White Silk."
Phyllis shrieked in fear, wiggling on his shoulder, pounding.
Ho-Tu apparently gave the matter very serious thought.
"Don't you want to be Red Silk?" he asked Phyllis, who, from her position, could not see him.
"No, no, no!" she cried.
"By tomorrow night," pointed out Ho-Sorl, neatly, "she may be Red Silk anyway."
"No, no!" wept Phyllis.
"Where would you make her Red Silk?" asked Ho-Tu.
"The pit of sand will do," said Ho-Sorl.
Phyllis shrieked with misery.
"Would you not like Ho-Sorl to make you Red Silk?" asked Ho-Tu of Phyllis.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 241
"Don't look so disappointed," said a Red Silk Girl passing near her, carrying Ka-la-na.
Phyllis made an angry noise.
"Poor little White Silk slave," said another Red Silk Girl passing between the tables.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 242
"You there, little White Silker," said Ho-Tu, "who are so adept with the porridge bowl, hasten to the Waiting Cells. You will need your sleep. You are to ascend the block tomorrow. You must make a good showing for the House of Cernus."
Virginia choked back a tear. "Yes, Master," she said.
Lana laughed and went to Relius, taking his arm, looking at Virginia. "Tomorrow, White Silker," she said, "you will be sold but Lana will still be in the House of Cernus."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 246
"Verbina, she is," called he, "who so fears a man that she would flee him, at the risk of death and torture, White Silk and never before owned, yet certified ready for the chain of a master who would use her as she so richly deserves!"
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 293
"These are three barbarians, two White Silk, one Red Silk," called the auctioneer, "all from the House of Cernus, whom it is our hope you will find pleasing."

"Here," said she, tauntingly, "is a slim beauty, lithe and swift, White Silk, intelligent, curious for the touch of a man, who for the right man would be the most abject and servile wench a beast could wish.

"It is hard for a white silk girl to be beautiful," said Targo.
"Yes," said the guard, "but there is a good market for white silkers."
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 88
"She is white silk!" said the other guard, laughing uproariously.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 95
"When will you use me?" I asked.
"You are white silk," he had said, and turned away.

"Do not fear," said Ute, laughing at me, "you are white silk!"
. . .
Sometimes, before falling asleep, or even in my dreams, I had fancied myself in their arms. I could imagine the pleasure of being held, helpless, in their strong arms. But beyond this I had only the white silk girl's dim sense of the changes they could bring about in my body, only the vague instinctual sensing, deep in my femaleness, of the fantastic pleasures to which a slave girl may be subjected by her master, pleasures by means of which he may, if it pleases him, totally and completely dominate her, making her helplessly, irreservedly his, naught but a yielded slave girl.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Pages 110 - 111
"She is only white silk," said Lana. "Lana is red silk. Let Lana please you."
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 114
"Kiss me," said the man.
"I am white silk," I whispered.
"Kiss me," he said.
. . .
I saw a look of anger come into his eyes. He held me very tightly. Then, too, to my dismay, I saw another look, which I, even white silk, understood.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Pages 116 - 117
"You are a pretty slave," he said.
"I am white silk," I whispered, now frightened, truly frightened.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 170
"I am still white silk," I told him.
"I know," he said.
I reddened.
"Fortunately for you," he said.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 184
"I am white silk," I whispered. I pulled against his hands, and he released me. I hurried on.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 185
"White-silk, She-sleen," he said. "Wait until you are red silk!"
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 186
"I hope she is red silk," said the other.
"If she is not when we apprehend her," said the other, "by the time we turn her over to Haakon she will be of the reddest of silks."
"Haakon might not be pleased," said the other.
The first laughed. "Haakon does not know which girl is red silk and which is white silk."
"That is true," grinned the other.
"Besides," pointed out the first, "do you really think Haakon expects us to return white silk girls to his chain?"
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 242
"Accordingly," I said, "I should be sold in Ar. And, further, since I am white silk, I should not be used. My price will be higher if I am sold white silk."
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 261
"But," had said Ute, "if a man seizes you, you are not to yield yourself to him, for you are white silk."
A flash of irritation passed through me. "I am charged with the protection of my market value?" I asked, ironically.
"Yes," said Ute, matter-of-factly. "Though I, if I were a man, would pay more for a red-silk girl."
"I must do nothing," I said, "to diminish the investment of Rask of Treve?"
"That is correct," said Ute.
"What if I am simply seized, and my attacker is not prepared to listen to reason?" I asked.
Ute laughed. It was the first time I had seen her laugh in the camp. I was pleased I had made her laugh.
"Cry out," said Ute, "and the others will take you from him and get him a red-silk girl."
"All right," I had said.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Pages 306 - 307
She took a white, silken ribbon and wrapped it five times about the collar, not tying it.
I had been marked white silk.
Inge and Rena laughed. "Do not laugh," smiled Ute, "for you, too, will be so marked, lest Raf and Pron, huntsmen of Treve, in a careless moment, devour my two other white-silk pretties."
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 323
The man whom I had served wine reached clumsily for me.
"I am white silk!" I cried, shrinking back.
"Wine!" cried the other man.
I tried to rise, but the man's hand was knotted in the silk. If I moved I would strip myself.
Another girl, on her knees, reaching for him, holding his head, insinuated herself between us. "I am red silk!" she murmured. "Touch me! Touch me!"
His hand left my silk and I darted away.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 325
I was white silk!
It was safe to dance before them as I pleased.
And so Elinor Brinton danced to torment them.
They cried out with anguish and pleasure. How pleased I was in my power!
As the music changed so, too, did the dancer, and she became as one with the music, a frightened girl, new to the collar, a timid girl, delicate and submissive, a lonely slave, yearning for her master, a drunken wench, rejecting her slavery, a proud girl, determined to be defiant, a raw, red-silk slave, mad with the need for a master's touch.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 328
Inge and Rena, I sensed, regarded me in a new fashion. "Slave!" they had said to me. And I had said to them, "Yes - Slave!" and kissed them. I had then sped away. They envied me. I pitied them in my way, for they were mere ignorant girls, white-silk girls. I was red silk!
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 337
I lifted her head, and took her in my arms. She trembled. I kissed her upon the lips. Her body, that of a white-silk girl, fresh to the collar, was terribly frightened.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 95
It would be a great triumph in Tyros, to bring the great Marlenus, naked, in the chains of a slave, branded, before their council. Doubtless they would first bring him so through the streets, between jeering throngs, chained to the back of a tharlarion wagon, white-silk maidens of Tyros dancing beside him, casting love blossoms upon him. Marlenus would doubtless make great holiday in Tyros.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 192
He would march in their triumph, branded, naked, chained to the back of a tharlarion wagon, amid blossoms cast by white-silk maidens dancing beside him.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 200
Any girl on the ship, incidentally, unless she is certified "white silk," a virgin, is free to the sailors for their sport. There were no "white-silk" girls on board; we were all "red silk." This was not unusual. There are few virgin slaves. Their virginity usually does not last more than an Ahn beyond their first sale.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 317
There was no blood that I could see on the interior of the barbarian's thighs. Ulafi, too, I recalled, had not used her nor thrown her to his crew. This tended to confirm in my mind that they did not understand the nature of her important. Perhaps a rich man, an eccentric of some sort, desired her. Perhaps he would not be pleased, or would not pay, if she were not delivered to him white silk.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 128
"Are you white silk?" I asked.
"I am a virgin," she said.
"Then you are white silk," I said.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 172
"You are wearing a white ribbon," I said.
"So are you," she said.
"I am not white silk," I smiled.
"The ribbon is only to match my tunic," she said. "I am not truly white silk."
Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 186
"Tela, when captured," he said, indicating a blonde, "begged to be permitted to be kept in white silk." He laughed. "After throwing her to a crew, for their pleasure, we put her, as she had asked, in white silk." "Amusing," I said. "She now often begs for red silk," he said. "Perhaps we will one day permit it to her."
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 197
There were dark-haired Relia and blond Tela, who was still kept in white silk, as a joke, though she must have served the pleasure of pirates a thousand times . . .
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 276
"Relia, Tela, to him," said Policrates. These two girls, Relia discarding her red silk and Tela opening her white silk, and throwing it back, hurried to kneel near me.

More than fifty slave girls, their hair coiffured high on their heads, clad in sleeveless, classic gowns of white silk, were aligned on the walk nearest the wall containing the iron door, that leading within to the halls of the fortress.
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 97
To be sure, of course, the color of the garment, on Gor, would not be likely to be white, but, commonly, red or yellow. White, on Gor, is a color commonly associated with virginity. It is, accordingly, worn by few slaves.
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 251
"You were white silk," I said. "Now you are red silk."
. . .
"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 and naivety, and a lack of experience. 'Red,' in the context of 'red-silk girl,' on the other hand, connotes rather clearly, I think, experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, not only to 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."
"I am red-silk," she said. "Have me."
Savages of Gor Book 17 Page 205
Similarly, the expression "red silk," in Gorean, tends to be used as a category in slaving, and also, outside the slaving context, as an expression in vulgar discourse, indicating that the woman is no longer a virgin, or, as the Goreans say, at least vulgarly of slaves, that her body has been opened by men. Its contrasting term is "white silk," usually used of slaves who are still virgins, or, equivalently, slaves whose bodies have not yet been opened by men. Needless to say, slaves seldom spend a great deal of time in the "white-silk" category. It is common not to dally in initiating a slave into the realities of her condition.
Blood Brothers of Gor Book 18 Page 472
I, too, glanced at her. She was not trained. She did not know slave dance. Her movements were those of a virgin, a white-silk girl.
Players of Gor Book 20 Page 20
The coffle was now, I supposed, secured on both ends. There was again the movement beneath my knees. There was no mistaking the movement. We were on a floating surface.
"Which of these are white silk?" asked a man.
I heard the sound of a long, heavy board, being drawn over wood. It was then, it seemed, placed somewhere to my right.
"Check their tags," said another man.
"Here is one," said a man, lifting my tag. There was a cry of good-natured protest from a fellow somewhere to my left-and in front of me.
"Here is another," said another man to my left.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Pages 98 - 99
Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not a girl has been "opened" for the uses of men. Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are 'white silk' and 'red silk', for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 128
"Are you white silk?" he had asked. "Yes, Master," I had said, shrinking back from him in the manacles.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 164
He, too, I suspected, like the others, had found me not without interest. Indeed, the first question he had addressed to me in this house, when he had unroped the blanket from about me, and I was before him, naked, my wrists manacled behind my back, was whether or not I was "white silk." Had I not been I think he might then, even as I was, manacled and on the blanket, have put me to his purposes.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 169
"Bring out the virgin!" cried a man.
"Get the white-silker out here," called another. "Let us see her!"
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 176
For example, sometimes, when slaves are taken to Ubars, and such, they are stripped and wrapped in a scarlet sheet, if they are "red silk," and in a white sheet, if they are "white silk." They are then placed in the master's chambers, often through a panel in the door, the sheet remaining behind.
Renegades of Gor Book 23 Page 199
In another cell I saw four women in rags of white silk. As they wore collars I gathered that they were women such as I. The combination of the collars and the white silk suggested that they might be virgin slaves. A "white-silk girl" is a virgin; one who is not a virgin is sometimes referred to as a "red-silk girl." This need not refer, literally, of course, to the color of their garmenture. White-silk slaves, as you might suppose, are very rare.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 149
She wore a tiny slave tunic. It was light, white, and silken. It came high on her thighs. At the left shoulder, where it would be convenient to a right-handed man, there was a disrobing loop.

Down the stairway, slowly, in trailing white silk bordered with gold, the colors of the Merchants, there regally descended the girl who was Aphris of Turia.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 91
She lifted her head and I could see the lovely line of her nose beneath the veil of white silk trimmed with gold. She sniffed twice. Then she clapped her little, gloved hands two times and the feast steward rushed to her side.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 94
"I think not," snapped the angry Aphris of Turia, her eyes flashing above the golden border of her white silken veil.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 96
I could see the quickness of her breath marked in the soft silk of her white and gold veil.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 100
In her silks of white and gold, on cloths thrown before her, Aphris of Turia stepped disdainfully forward, guided by a judge, to the first of the stakes on the side of the Wagon Peoples.

She was clad in Robes of Concealment, but their texture and color were a far cry from the glorious vanities often expressed in such garments, the silken purples, yellows and scarlets that the Gorean maiden delighted in; the robes were of coarse brown cloth, tattered and caked with dirt.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 55
Then with a suddenness that almost made me jump and the crowd cry out with delight the music began again but this time as a barbaric cry of rebellion and rage and the wench from Port Kar was suddenly a chained she-larl biting and tearing at the chain and she had cast her black robes from her and stood savage revealed in diaphanous, swirling yellow Pleasure Silk.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 161
She wore yellow Pleasure Silk, and, beneath her long black hair, on her throat, I glimpsed a silverish Turian collar.

Then she bent to find for herself among the riches of the wagon yellow Pleasure Silks.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 298
She wore a yellow collar, that of the House of Cernus, and yellow Pleasure Silk.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 150
A slave girl was brought, a slim girl, in yellow Pleasure Silk, with short black hair, dark eyes, high cheekbones.
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 313
She stood wrapped in an opaque sheet of shimmering yellow silk.
Raiders of Gor Book 6 Page 228
Once or twice I saw a stunningly figured blond girl in brief yellow silk.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 293
I felt his hand on the bit of diaphanous yellow silk I wore in the tavern.
Captive of Gor Book 7 Page 356
There was a flash of slave bells at my side and a dark-haired, yellow-silked girl, a paga girl, knelt beside us, where we sat cross-legged behind the small table.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 46
She knelt there, in the darkness of the side of the room, in her yellow silk, her hands locked above and behind her head.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 48
Rim went to Tendite, whom he had left in the paga tavern. She looked at him, in her yellow silk, kneeling in the darkness by the low wall, her hands braceleted above and behind her head.
. . .
There were the men at the tables, the girls, in slave bells and yellow silk, serving them.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 55
She came through the kitchen door, in the tiny slip of diaphanous yellow silk allotted to paga slaves, bells locked on her left ankle. She was doubtless returning to the floor after her rest, to freshen her for further service. I had not seen her before. She carried a vessel of paga. She was barefoot on the tiles.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 56
Her fists clenched in the slave bracelets. Her collar, yellow and enameled, shone in the darkness, at her throat. Her hair, a black sheen, loose, fell over her shoulders, and to the small of her back. She was beautiful in the bit of yellow silk. She pulled at the bracelets. Then she relaxed.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 58
She still wore the chains I had put her in. The bit of yellow silk, crumpled, soaked with sweat, lay to one side. "How does it feel to be a paga slave?" I asked. She turned her head to one side.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 59
I noted that Tendite now, again, served in the tavern. I noted, too, that, clad in yellow silk, belled on the left ankle, as another paga girl, the dancer, she whom Thurnock had sported with, too, carried a vessel of paga about.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 62
The day of my departure from the camp, at dawn, later in that same day, four paga slaves, in yellow silks, brought up from Laura, chained in a longboat, would have arrived in my camp.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 108
Her one garment was a brief slip of diaphanous yellow silk.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 149
Verna was clad only in the bit of yellow slave silk she had worn when she escaped.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 158
"Then put her in yellow pleasure silk," he said, "fresh silk, and place bells on her left ankle."
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 162
She wore a bit of yellow pleasure silk, very short and diaphanous. It clung to her, sweet with her breathing.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 164
They wore yellow silk. They were doubtless the paga slaves from Laura.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 179
I turned and looked up the beach. The paga slaves were there. They stood in terror, barefoot in the sand, in the yellow silk, in throat coffle, their wrists bound behind their back, horrified with what they had seen.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 181
Ilene, in a scrap of yellow pleasure silk, a barefoot slave girl, terrified, fled through the brush, breaking branches, head twisting, hair sometimes caught, breathing heavily, eyes wide, legs and body scratched and cut.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 201
Ilene, in her yellow silk, was still kneeling at her feet.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 206
I looked at her. She stood in brief, diaphanous yellow slave silk, that of the paga slave.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 217
Low on her hips she wore, on a belt of rolled cloth, yellow dancing silk, in Turian drape, the thighs bare, the front right corner of the skirt thrust behind her to the left, the back left lower corner of the skirt thrust into the rolled belt at her right hip.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 87
In her dance, Alyena turned. I smiled. Beneath the small of her back, on the left side, I could see, through the yellow silk, that the bruise had not yet healed.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 89
Ibn Saran, watching the yellow-silked, collared slave dance, sipped his hot, black wine.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 92
I regarded her. "You are a strange slave," she said. She reclined, resting, on one elbow. She wore a soft gown, flowing, yellow, long, of Turian silk; it was sheer and, with its deep neckline, and about the hips, well betrayed her. Her hair was black, and long, and rich, and well displayed against the yellow cushion behind her.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 196
I then considered how I might appear, so made up, so perfumed, so adorned, but now in a snatch of brief silk, yellow or scarlet, clinging, diaphanous, fit for a man's pleasure girl.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 80
"Get up, Girl," said a woman's voice. I looked up. She wore a wisp of yellow silk. Her dark hair was bound back with a yellow, silk talmit.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 253
The sensuous music of Turia filled the room. The girl in yellow silk, belled, danced her beauty among the tables.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 262
"Greetings, Teela," said the girl who now stood beside me, who had come, like myself, from the tavern. She, like I, wore slave bells on her left ankle, brief, parted yellow silk, the house collar.
Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Page 294
Behind him, in pleasure silk, came three girls. Poalu was in brief yellow pleasure silk, and Audrey and Barbara in brief red pleasure silk.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 353
In a bit of yellow slave silk, backed into a corner, belled and barefoot, a collared girl danced, swaying slowly before the five men who loomed about her, scarcely a yard away.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 21
There was only one other white girl in the tavern, a dark-haired girl, collared, in yellow pleasure silk, she, too, apparently a paga slave, like the black girls, waiting on the tables.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 132
She was barefoot. In her hand, wadded up, was a tiny scrap of yellow slave silk, which had been her uniform in the tavern of Pembe.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 141
"Paga, Master?" asked a dark-haired, belled paga slave, in a scrap of diaphanous yellow silk.
. . .
The yellow silk was belted tightly about her waist by several turns of yellow binding fiber, more than enough to tie her for your pleasure in an alcove.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 12
"Master?" she asked. I wanted to take her in my arms. I permitted her to feed me a grape. Then she withdrew. I watched her withdraw. She was beautiful. She wore a snatch of yellow silk.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 193
"Yes, Master," said Peggy, bowing her head, deferentially, and backing gracefully from the table, as a slave. She was barefoot, and wore a brief snatch of diaphanous, yellow pleasure silk.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 226
It amused me to see how gratefully she slipped the brief bit of scandalous, diaphanous yellow silk about her body, how pleased she was to do so, though it was naught but a laughable mockery of a garment, one fit obviously only for a female slave.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 254
Then, at his feet, she lifted her head, and, with her small hands, kneeling straight, parted her yellow silk. She knelt then before him, a helpless slave, as she had been commanded, her breasts bared before his sword.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 261
Swiftly she knelt there, head down, small and beautiful. She wore a tiny bit of yellow silk, a steel collar, and her brand. "Yes, Master," she said.
Rouge of Gor Book 15 Page 282
The girl who was serving as the small brunet's keeper withdrew from the chest, and shook out, a flimsy, tiny, diaphanous snatch of yellow pleasure silk. It was the sort of garment which, commonly, would be worn only by the most lascivious of dancing slaves writhing before strong, rude men in the lowest taverns on Gor.
Guardsman of Gor Book 16 Page 173
"The yellow sets off your hair nicely," I said. Perhaps if I enslaved her, I would put her in yellow slave silk. She was a beautiful woman.
Players of Gor Book 20 Page 216
Too, Ina wore a snatch of diaphanous yellow silk. The girls in Hendow's tavern now often went silked on the floor, not naked, as before.
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 224
"Paga, Master?" asked a girl, kneeling beside the low table, behind which I sat, cross-legged.
I regarded her. She was well made up, with lipstick, eye shadow, and such, a painted slave, as it is said. There was a pearl droplet on a tiny golden chain, on her forehead. She was clad in a snatch of yellow slave silk. She was necklaced, as well as collared. Her left arm was encircled with a serpentine ornament. Her wrists were heavy with bracelets. Two of these, one on each wrist, were locked there. On them were snap rings. They could thus be joined, and she could not free herself from them. Her left ankle was belled, these bells being attached to a locked anklet.
Vagabonds of Gor Book 24 Pages 400 - 401
I wore a brief wisp of yellow silk, fastened at the left shoulder, my only garment.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 4
And surely Pricilla would be fetching in a tiny bit of yellow silk, all she would wear.
Witness of Gor Book 26 Page 112
The two girls were not twins, but they were clearly a matched set. They were similar in height, figure, hair and eye color. They also wore matching tunics, brief, of yellow silk.
. . .
Their yellow silk certainly did not do much to conceal their own "slave curves."
Witness of Gor Book 26 Pages 396 - 397
And he threw her to his feet and, crouching beside her, she first, startled, on all fours, and then thrust to her belly, tore away her tunic, shred by silken shred, flinging these narrow, delicate, yellow, rent scraps behind him, they fluttering away to alight, scattered, like startled flowers, on the narrow boards of the dark, hardwood floor.

Then with a suddenness that almost made me jump and the crowd cry out with delight the music began again but this time as a barbaric cry of rebellion and rage and the wench from Port Kar was suddenly a chained she-larl biting and tearing at the chain and she had cast her black robes from her and stood savage revealed in diaphanous, swirling yellow Pleasure Silk.
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 161
She wore yellow Pleasure Silk, and, beneath her long black hair, on her throat, I glimpsed a silverish Turian collar.
