| 5 | 516 | On Earth body veiling tends to be cultural, and not face veiling. |
| 5 | 517 | On Gor, for free women, both body veiling and face veiling are cultural, and tend to be widely practiced. |
| 5 | 518 | I suppose, objectively, there is something more to be said for face veiling than body veiling. |
| 5 | 519 | Bodies, though differing remarkably, one to the other, tend perhaps to be somewhat more similar than faces. |
| 5 | 520 | Accordingly, if one should be concerned to protect one's privacy and one's feelings, and such, it seems that the face might preferably be veiled. |
| 5 | 521 | In the face, surely, it is easier to read emotion and individuality than in a body. |
| 5 | 522 | Should not the face then, if one is concerned with concealment and privacy, be veiled? Is the face not more personal and revealing than the body? Does it not make sense then to consider it a proper object of concealment in a free person?

However this may be, there are congruencies and dispositions which seem appropriate in given contexts. |
