A Simulated Slave Economy (repost)

Code d' Ode includes a simulated slave economy. Legality is a first principle, so slavetrading is entirely simulated and no money changes hands between active players at any juncture. But a simulated trade operates as follows:

*Before purchase cockslaves are graded and priced. They are very expensive items! They are the most expensive of all slaves.

*A slave should demand that she be purchased, not taken freely like a slut. She is proud to be purchased.

*But her owner can "opt" to "commute" the slaveprice to alms. This means he makes a donation to charity instead. The purchase is only token (and indirect).

*Only some charities are acceptable for alms. These are: campaigns against child labour, forced prostitution and female genital mutilation, and all forms of non-consensual slavery. (You can't make a donation to your golf club and call it alms. It has to be directed to an appropriate cause.)

*The slavewoman has the right to nominate the organisation to which she wants her new owner to "commute the slaveprice to alms."

*The slaveowner has the right to decide the sum he will pay in alms to the charity his slave has nominated. Symbolically speaking he has paid the full price and the slave can wear her price with pride.

*A slaveowner is not required to reveal to his slave the actual sum of alms he has paid, nor is he required to give proof of payment to the slave or to anyone else. It is enough that he says to his new slave that he has "commuted the slave price to alms" with the charity of her choice.

*This constitutes full payment.

*It is improper for either slave or Keeper to ever mention either the fact or the sum of payment in any context again. It is a taboo topic in Code d' Ode play.

*It is a voluntary code. Men of good conscience will acknowledge that owning a cockslave is a rare privilege in life and will happily make a generous donation to a worthy cause in lieu of the slaveprice. This legitimizes the bond over his slave.

*Honesty is a cardinal virtue in a Slavekeeper. So when a man says "I have paid the slaveprice" (by way of a token donation to an appropriate charity) then we expect he is reporting the truth. It would be poisonous to begin a Keeper/slave relationship with a lie.

*It is the intent of Code d' Ode to foster and protect odalisques at all times. The whole Code works against illegal slavetrading, forced prostitution and exploitation.

*Odalisques are urged to demand that their owners pay the slave price. She should ask, "Am I to be taken for free like a slut?" An odalisque should SHAME her owner into paying a price for her.

*A key quality in a Slavetrader is the urge to protect and nurture odalisques. Such a man will abhor the ruthless maltreatment of beautiful, erotic women at the hands of underworld rackets and will happily give to charities that are devoted to helping such women. There are thousands of them in forced prostitution in the United States!

*There are no obstacles to players holding (consensual) slave auctions or auctions-for-service so long as ALL proceeds go to an appropriate charity.

*Code d' Ode seeks to create a high-class, luxury, consensual cockslave culture where play incidentally assists charity work that is devoted to eradicating forms of non-consensual sex slavery.

Light punishment



In standard BDSM slave play slaves may be subject to corporal punishment: whipping, paddling, smacking and flogging are common ways in which to punish a slave. Indeed, for those who enjoy pain and inflicting pain, these types of punishment may be central to slave play – punishment becomes the whole point of play.

This is not the case in Code d’ Odalisque. Forms of punishment are passive and non-violent – such as consigning a slave to kneel in the corner for a specified time – and punishment and pain are not central features of slave play. They may be included in play but they are not the point of play. Rather, Code d’ Ode is hedonistic. It is about pleasure. The central activity of slave play involves the slave being a willing vehicle for her Master’s pleasures. Punishment is a secondary and incidental part of play.

An odalisque must submit to discipline. She must be trained in the odalisque’s arts. It is necessary for Keepers and Trainers to develop suitable methods of punishment for those times when a slave transgresses or disobeys. An odalisque is a pampered slave, but she is still subject to a slave’s discipline. She must be trained to be obedient and compliant. It is necessary to have tools of punishment to wield as required.

These methods of punishment must be non-violent. An odalisque is not a pain slave. Odalisque slavery is non S & M. But there is bondage, and there is discipline.

Sending a slave to the corner for a time is an old tried-and-true mode of punishment. But there are other methods. Isolation. Deprivation. Restriction. Slavekeepers and Slavetrainers should experiment and develop favored methods of punishment according to their experience. All punishments should be non-violent, non-aggressive – light but effective punishment is the ideal.

Code d' Odalisque

Sexual dualities

Code d’ Odalisque is constructed around tensions between opposites: on the one hand debauched indulgence and on the other mannered elegance. It is a system of consensual sexual slave play the purpose of which is to provide a platform for sexual exploration. An odalisque is a sexual slave. Her task is to be a vehicle for sexual gratification for her Master. Accordingly, she is an extremely sexual being; she is willing to be used in and participate in sexual indulgences that go well beyond a ‘vanilla’ range of sexual tastes. She is happy to be used as a willing accomplice in her Master’s most debauched fantasies. A man owns an odalisque because he has desires that exceed the ‘vanilla’. He owns an odalisque (cockslave) because he needs a woman who will submit to his wildest and most outrageous desires.

But all of this debauchery is framed, under the provisions of the Code, by a formal elegance and fine taste. Much of the Code concerns standards of behavior both for the slave and for the Slavekeeper. The Code includes a detailed system of etiquette that is binding upon all players. The hardcore sex that constitutes the central action of odalisque slave play takes place in an atmosphere of cordial behavior, good manners, politeness and sophistication. Code d’ Ode is not about dungeons and grunge. It is about an elegant debauchery, a sophisticated and urbane erotic indulgence.

There is always this tension under Code d’ Ode – reckless, wild, debauched in contrast with polite, mannered, sophisticated. People involved must find ways to use the provisions of the Code according to their own circumstances in order to build a creative tension between indulgence and control. This is characteristic of the cockslave herself. Her motto is: ‘Fathomless Lust. Perfect Obedience.’ She is expected to be wild, unihibited, lascivious, abandoned to sexual excess. She fucks and sucks like a crazy woman. An odalisque is expected to be lustful, cock-crazy, yearning to serve, yearning to be used and enjoyed.

But on the other hand – against this seething lust - she is expected to be well-trained, polite, compliant, self-controlled, perfectly obedient to the commands of her Master. The Code features a repertoire of postures and slave positions that the slave must learn. She learns to walk with elegance and to hold her posture well. She is well-groomed and well-spoken.

Slavekeepers too are expected to be gentlemen, even as they go about the unbridled exploration of their most profligate desires. There is a creative tension within a Slavekeeper: animal lust and gentlemanly urbanity.

Every aspect of Code d’ Ode can be understood in terms of these polarities and the tension between them. The two poles would seem to be incompatible: sexual abandon and self-restraint. The trick is to turn these polarities into a fulcrum for creative play. Above all, Code d’ Ode offers a platform for creative maledom/femsub sexuality. The source of this creativity is in the inherent contradictions between abandon and restraint. In theory and in practice Code d' Ode is driven by creative tension between opposites. It is dualistic. It sets up and then explores sexual dualities. The male dom and the female submissive is the central duality. The duality between wild lust and perfect sophistication is another expression of the same dynamic.

Slaves and whores

1.21. - Whoredom

Sexual slavery is better than whoredom. The whole tenor of this Code is opposed to prostitution in all its forms. The use of the term “sex slave” should not be confused with the popular use of this term for forced prostitution.


The role of the odalisque can be better understood by considering her in relation to the prostitute. There are significant differences, and also significant similarities.

The odalisque and the whore are similar in that both of them are women who live by providing sexual service to men. An odalisque is a cockslave. She is a sexual slave. A pleasure slave. She is kept by a Slavekeeper to be used for sex. Her “work”, like that of the whore, consists of letting men use her body for sexual gratification.

But, unlike the whore, the cockslave is not for hire. She is owned, not leased. The whore hires her body out to any man with the money. The odalisque belongs to one man, her Keeper. He then enjoys her as his own personal pleasure slave, but he may also share her with other men; in fact, sharing is the norm. A Slavekeeper puts an odalisque to her proper task, namely providing sexual gratification to men. He uses her for his own pleasures and he shares her with friends. So even though an odalisque is owned by one man, she will often service a circle of gentlemen. But never for money. She never sells her sex.

And Slavekeepers are strictly forbidden from prostituting a slave. An odalisque is kept from, protected from, whoredom. A prostitute is always subject to the harsh realities of the market, the violence of the street. In this she either looks out for herself or she is subject to exploitation by a pimp. A Slavekeeper must keep his slave from this fate. An odalisque is not a whore for rent. She is not on the open market. It is a grave insult to an odalisque to treat her as a whore.

The Code takes a strong stance on this. There is a strict contrast between slave and whore. The odalisque is, as it were, an anti-whore. Odalisque slavery is, as it were, an alternative to prostitution. In any society the reality is that men will want their (extra-marital) sexual desires served and satisfied. How is this to be done? In most societies it is done through prostitution. But it could be done through odalisque slavery in a society where odalisques are the norm. A cockslave serves male desires. That is her task. That is her vocation. She is trained and dedicated to that end. But she is bonded to a Master – bonded service, not hire service.

Many submissive females fall into prostitution. But they are often brutalised in the experience. They would be better serving as an odalisque, serving a Slavemaster as his cockslave.
