 Q #  Question

when slaves were whipped did they recieve a set number of lashes for certain punishments?

Answer

First of all, I moved your question from Leave a Comment over to Have a Question?

Now, the short answer to your question is no.
And, I could leave it at that but instead, here are just a few examples.



She had been stripped and, hands tied over her head to a post, had been given ten lashes. Marlenus, and most of those about the camp, had not bothered to watch. It was simply a slave girl being punished. The punishment was so light because it was the first time the girl had attempted to run away.
Hunters of Gor     Book 8     Page 149


She is naked; she is not permitted to rise; she may not even speak, for the whip must be held between her teeth; to drop it is twenty extra lashes.
Tribesmen of Gor     Book 10     Page 353 - 354


"Put her at the slave ring," said Aurelion, "and give her ten lashes, and then throw her a pastry. She has done well."
Slave Girl of Gor     Book 11     Page 352


I did not wish to be kicked or beaten, or have a tag wired to my collar, which would be seen by my Mistress, saying perhaps 'This slave was impudent. I recommend twenty lashes.'
Fighting Slave of Gor     Book 14     Page 216


"Long ago you had me beaten in the House of Andronicus," I said. "In your role as a free woman in the slave training you deliberately spilled wine and blamed me, and ordered me whipped. The whipping was very painful. Do you recall?"

She said nothing.

"You have never adequately paid for that," I said.

"Paid?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Do not forget you are a man of Earth," she said.

"Oh, yes," I said, "the men of Earth never make a woman pay for anything. She may even humiliate them and destroy them as men and with total impunity. Is that right?"

"Yes, yes!" said the girl.

"Not always," I said.

"Master?" she asked.

"And this is not Earth," I said.

"Master?" she asked.

And then, suddenly, she screamed, caught fully, helplessly, in the blurred, whistling slash of the five-stranded Gorean slave whip.

Ten strokes did I give her.

Then she hung weeping, shuddering, at the ring. "How can you whip me?" she asked. "You are a man of Earth."

I went to her and, by the hair, jerked back her head, and she cried out with pain. "Is this the touch of a man of Earth?" I asked.

"No," she said, frightened.

"Too," I said, whispering in her ear, "you are a new slave who has been brought recently to my house."

"No," she begged. "No!"

Sometimes a girl is whipped when she is first brought into a new house. It is regarded, in some cities, including Victoria, as a way of making clear to her that the house in which she now finds herself is a house in which she is a slave.

Ten strokes more then did I administer to the fair beauty.

"Too," I said, "earlier you dared to speak my name."

"Forgive me, Master," she sobbed.

"That has earned you five extra strokes," I informed her.

She moaned, and then was shaken five times, encircled in the burning lashes, being repaid for her insolence.

When I lowered the whip she sagged in the leather, fastened at the ring, and slipped from consciousness. I went before her and slapped her awake. She looked at me, startled, awakened, in pain, terrified. "And one more stroke," I told her, "to remind you that you are a slave."

"Yes, Master," she whispered.

I delivered the blow, letting it be the fiercest of her beating.

"Be silent, Slave Girl," he said.

"Yes, Master!" she said.

"Rejoice that I do not stop the wagon and haul you out, each of you, and give you ten lashes apiece," he said.
Savages of Gor     Book 17     Page 81


"What is the meaning of this?" she demanded. "I demand my immediate freedom!"

One of the slave girls, one kneeling a few feet away, before us and to our right, at a table, one of those who was naked, save for her collar, laughed. Then she turned white with fear. She had laughed at a free woman. Samos turned to a guard and pointed at the offending slave. "Fifteen lashes," he said. The girl shook her head in misery. She whimpered with terror. These would be lashes, she knew, with a Gorean slave whip.
