Few things more impress upon a woman, slave or free, a sense of abject helplessness than being unable to speak. - (Mercenaries of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #2029)

Too, like all women, sometimes such endearing nuisances, sometimes so pertinacious and obtrusive, she is given occasionally to insistent questioning, the issuance of unwelcome, unsolicited, abundant observations and counsel, to prattle and wheedling, such things. When the master tires of this, he may simply revoke from her the privilege of speech. Sometimes he places a ball or block of wood in her mouth, which is to remain there at his discretion; if it is dropped, or removed before receiving his permission, she will be whipped. Few things more impress upon a woman, slave or free, a sense of abject helplessness than being unable to speak. A Gorean saying has it that a woman gagged is already half a slave. And there are few things which more impress her bondage on a slave than realizing that her speech is ultimately at the discretion of free persons, that she may not speak without the permission, either implicit or explicit, of free persons. To be sure, this permission is almost always in place, tacitly, but its actuality becomes evident when it is either explicitly withdrawn, or must be explicitly requested. - (Mercenaries of Gor)
