In this form of slavery, which is commonly used for
disciplinary purposes, or for the amusement of the Master, the woman is
not permitted to arise from all fours; similarly she is not permitted
human speech, though she may signify needs and desires by such means as
cringing, and moaning and whimpering. Not permitted the use of her hands,
save as a means of locomotion, she must also eat and drink from pans set
on the floor, or, sometimes to satisfy her thirst, she must lap the water
permitted to her from puddles or lick spillages from the tiles; too, it is
no uncommon to chain her near her master's feet, while he dines, that he
may, if he wishes, throw her scraps of food. She will also be taught
tricks, through which paces she may be put for the entertainment of her
master's guests, such things as begging, lying down, rolling over, and
fetching his sandals in her teeth. And, needless to say, when her master
wishes to use her sexually, it will be a position common to the
she-quadruped.

In this discipline the female is forbidden human speech.
She is also forbidden human posture, in the sense that she is not allowed
to rise to her feet. Her locomotion, unless commanded to roll, or put
under similar commands, suitable for a pet, will be on all fours. Her food
will be thrown to her, or put in pans on the ground. In either case, she
must feed without the use of her hands. She may also, of course, be fed by
hand, but, again, will not be permitted to touch the food with her hands.
She may be taught tricks. Sometimes these are taught as functions of
arbitrary sounds, so that she must learn them as any animal might, without
the benefit of an earlier understanding of the word used. If she is slow
to learn, of course, she is punished, as would be any other animal. When
used, too, it will commonly be in the modality of the she-quadrupled. This
discipline is often used as a punishment, but it may figure in the
training of a new girl. It helps her to understand what she now is, an
animal totally subject to her master.
"Mercenaries of Gor" (pages 215-216)
"Girl," I said to her.
She, addressed, scrambled to her knees. She kept her head down. She
whimpered.
"She does not speak," said Boabissia.
"She is perhaps under the discipline of the she-quadruped," I
said.
The girl whimpered, looking at us, nodding her head affirmatively. Then
she put down her head, again.
"Mercenaries of Gor" (page 215)
Melina, now a naked slave in sleen collar, was ordered
forth on her hands and knees. A sleen leash was attached to her collar and
she was marched, as a she-sleen, crawling, abused, to the rape-rack.
"Slave Girl of Gor" (page 238)
"In what slavery, or slaveries, will master place
me?" she asked.
I looked at her position. "Perhaps in these slavery of the
she-quadruped," I said.
"Master may do so, if he wishes," she said, "if it pleases
him, or amuses him."
