FreeCompaionship according to John Norman

Free Companionship An agreement between the two individuals must be arranged. The male would contact the female's family, house or protector and offer a Companionship Price. Often this is in the form of golden tarn disks but can be of anything that both Male parties agree to. The payment of the Companionship Price is to be made prior to taking any further steps. A contract is the next step. This would include the Companionship price, length of Companionship which is usually one year, distribution of property and anything needed to guide the relationship. Copies of the Companionship contract is handed to the Female's Representative as well as her family. All parties involved should have such a copy. A ceremony may be performed after the contract has been approved and signed. Normally all that is required is the offering of a cup of kalana, sharing of any written vows, and the removal of the females veils for the first time. This can be done in private or in public. Understand, that as a Free Companion and being female you are technically "owned". You will have rules and orders to follow, and obey.. being a Free Companion does not protect you from being ko`lared. It only states you are property of your Male Companion. Males can chain, unveil or ko`lar their Free Companions on a whim. Normally this is done only in extreme cases and if ko`lared it can be forever, meaning, you would lose all freedom as well as be required to learn the kajirae ways. It solely depends upon the Male, as females are trained from birth to please men. Gor is a Mans World, females are only free because of a males whim, freedom is a gift that can be taken back at any moment.
