Obstetrics:
[Birth of an Alar baby] "The tiny baby, not minutes old, with tiny gasps and coughs, still startled and distressed with the sharp, frightful novelty of breathing air, never again to return to the shelter of its mothers body, lost in a chaos of sensation, its eyes not focused, unable scarcely to turn its head from side to side, lay before him. The cord had been cut and tied at its belly. Its tiny legs and arms moved. The blood the membranes and fluids had been wiped from its small, hot, red, firm body. Then it had been rubbed with animal fat."
Mercenaries of Gor pg 46
[Discussing differences between Red Hunter and Red Savage Babies] "Their babies (Red Savages) are not born with a blue spot at the base of the spine, as in the case with most of the Red Hunters."
Savages of Gor pg 35
[Cleanliness habits of Tahari Mothers and resultant low infant mortality rate] "Another habit of nomads, or of nomad mothers, is to frequently bathe small children, even if it is only with a cloth and a cup of water. There is a very low infant mortality rate among nomads, in spite of their limited diet and harsh environment."
Tribesmen of Gor pg 171
[Comparison of infant nursing habits] "It might be of interest to note that children of the nomads are suckled for some eighteen months, which is nearly twice the normal length of time for Earth infants, and half again the normal time for Gorean infants."
Tribesmen of Gor pg 170
Gynecology:
[Speaking of the differences in menstruation ages between Red Savage and Red Hunter girls] "Their daughters (Red Savages) menstruate earlier (than Red Hunter daughters)."
Savages of Gor pg 35
[Terms to refer to the virginity of Free Women] "Glana denotes the state of virginity and metaglana denotes the state succeeding virginity."
Savages of Gor pg 203
"Another way of drawing distinction is in terms of falarina and profalarina. Profalarina designates the state preceding falarina which is the state of a woman who has been penetrated at least once by a male." Savages of Gor pg 203
