Qoola

An odalisque is a female sexual slave under the service of a male Slavekeeper. She is owned by her Keeper who protects, nurtures and enjoys her. The rights and duties of both slave and Slavekeeper are set out in the articles of Code d' Odalisque.

The Code also acknowledges a variation on the standard sexual slave, namely the “Qoola” or “slut slave”. This is the woman who likes to play slave to men but is not owned by a single Slavekeeper in the way an odalisque is. Instead, she moves from Keeper to Keeper in a series of more casual arrangements.

An odalisque is distinguished from a slut by her commitment to a Slavekeeper. The main characteristic of a slut is her love of freedom. She is as cock-crazy as a slave but does not want to be bound to one man. A Qoola combines this trait with the submissiveness of the slave. She is sexually submissive and acts like an odalisque. She knows the odalisque's arts. But she does not belong to a single Slavekeeper. She is contracted to Slavekeepers for short periods of time and then moves on.

A Qoola is not regarded as highly as a proper odalisque but she still has the status of a sexual servant under Code d' Odalisque. She lives by the Code and enjoys the rights and protection of the Code, but she is not as valued or as revered as an odalisque who seeks to be owned and enjoyed by a single Slavekeeper. In general, Qoola are not encouraged, but neither are they frowned upon. They are sexual servants, devoted to cockworship, but they resist being the property of one Slavekeeper. A true odalisque is preferred – she serves a single Master without hesitation.

The role of Qoola may suit many modern women and women who cannot find a suitable permanent Master may live as a Qoola in the meantime.

Erotic dance

12.7. - Erotic Dance

As a normal and regular part of play an odalisque may be made to engage in erotic dance and display for her Keeper.


There are many forms of erotic dance. An odalisque can be trained in any of these traditional styles. The traditional style that best suits the aesthetic of Code d’ Odalisque is the erotic belly dance or an oriental strip-tease dance like the ‘Dance of the Seven Veils.’ There is no need to be overtly “oriental” in style, though. The preferred style is simply any sensual free form dance that makes a display of the slave’s hair.

In Western society today the dominant form of erotic dance is the striptease. This is historically an adjunct to prostitution. The client is first teased and then he is picked up by prostitutes – the stripper assists the whore. Since an odalisque is very specifically not a whore, and odalisque slavery is not prostitution – odalisques should be protected from prostitution – this type of erotic dance is usually not in keeping with the aesthetics and values of odalisque play.

The brassy musical-hall dance show has a set format. You can see it at any strip club in any big city. The same dance. The dancer wears stockings etc. – clothing essentially related to the clothing of the prostitutes being serviced by the dance. These days the connection between the striptease and prostitution might not be so clear, but it remains true. Accordingly, this common form of erotic dance tends to clash with the values of Code d’ Odalisque. It is the more oriental and free-form styles of erotic dance that are appropriate.

***

Dance is also a means to PHYSICHALIZATION. A sexual servant needs to be situated – psychologically – in her body. Her body is her tool. It is with her body that she serves. The modern media-saturated woman tends to be too mental, too cerebral. Indeed, modern life makes everyone abstracted and cerebral. We live increasingly virtual lives. An odalisque needs to be grounded in the physical reality of her flesh. She needs to know herself as flesh and blood and bone. She is a physical being. Dance is an excellent method of bringing an odalisque more into her body. Her Keeper or Trainer should instruct her:

When you dance, don’t think! Feel your body.
Think with your body. Not with your mind.
Stop being a mind. Just be a body. Be physical.
Dance is about being physical.
Celebrate your body, your flesh.
Enjoy being a physical creature.
Don’t be an idea. Be real. Be a thing. Be an object with volume in space. Feel yourself as a physical, spatial, three-dimensional thing.


Abstracted, cerebral people don't experience themselves as spatial bodies- they experience themselves as spaceless minds. An odalisque needs to be brought back into her body.

The preferred form of dance in Code d’ Odalisque is the free form dance that displays the slave’s hair. A free form dance in which the dancer tosses her hair around, from side to side. She throws her hair around, shows her hair to those watching.

Thus, she dances with her head. Her body follows in free form. This may include any movements she likes or that her Keeper requires. Her dance may be serpentine or tribal or classical or lewd or manic or frenzied or graceful and slow.

There are no set requirements. The Code merely says that the slave will learn erotic dance. This can take many forms.

Slavekeepers and slaves both should be creative.

Body Modifications

10.10. - Restrictions on body modification

An odalisque is forbidden from undertaking any significant form of body modification by plastic or cosmetic surgery or to elective medical proceedures - especially those that require a full anaesthenic - beyond what is required for good and lasting health, even where her Keeper is agreeable. It is an injunction of this Code that only a freewoman may make significant cosmetic modifications to her physical body. If a slave wishes to make such modifications she must return to the state of the freewoman in order to do so.


Medical technology now allows a wide range of ways in which the body can be modified. Nose jobs. Skin colorings. Hair transplants. Breast enlargements. Breast reductions. Liposuction. And much, much more. There is a revolution in cosmetic surgery. The only limit is your bank account.

This becomes a problematic matter in Master/slave relationships because consent is a minefield here. There is an unacknowledged and growing problem in the BDSM world (and indeed in general society) where dominant men are pressuring and bullying women into having body modifications made - usually to make the woman conform to standards of beauty set by glamour magazines. But can a submissive woman who has given her heart and soul to a Slavemaster really give fully informed consent to such body modifications? Many legal cases now suggest not. Having your body modified is a major and usually permanent event in your life. You should think very long and carefully before going under the surgeon's knife. A sub slave is not really in a position to give what courts of law will acknowledge as fully informed consent regarding such life changing decisions.

Accordingly - and following sound legal advice - Code d' Odalisque has a rule that says a woman can't have significant body modification done while she's a slave. In her situation, consent is impossibly problematic. So if she wants to have breast implants, for example, she can't do it while she's serving as a slave. Minor body modifications - waxing, bleaching, piercing etc. are OK, but major ones are not.

This is really for the protection of submissive females. It is to prevent Slavekeepers from treating odalisques as pieces of meat that can be carved into pleasing shapes. It is to prevent abuses of cosmetic surgery upon odalisques.

Again, minor body modifications are fine. A slave can certainly give viable (and legally recognized) consent for having her ears pierced, for example, or anal bleaching, or a brazilian, or a hundred other minor procedures that can enhance, beautify and decorate the female body. But major body modifications are forbidden. Only a freewoman can give viable consent to such life-changing decisions.

Muscular Tone (Kegels)

15.11. - Muscular tone.

The training of an odalisque will normally include the cultivation of physical control over and achieving and maintaining firm tone in the muscles employed in various modes of sexual congress. Train your slave to do kegel (pelvic floor) exercises every day, for vaginal tone. This is an essential part of a cockslave’s daily regime.


An essential part of an odalisque's training program is daily attention to the Kegel pelvic floor exercises. From Day One a cockslave should be doing regular Kegel exercises to improve and maintain the muscular tone of her vagina. Her vagina, of course, is her primary tool of trade. Keeping it fit and toned and preventing it from being loose and sloppy is a top priority. The Trainer or Keeper should make an assessment of her muscular strength - how much control does she have over her cunt muscles? He then sets her Kegel exercises to either improve or maintain her tone.

There is no need to over-develop these muscles. An odalisque is not a circus freak who can open a beer bottle with her labia! But her pussy should be tight and should have some grip. It is most important that a Slavetrainer attends to this. And, of course, a Slaveowner desires it in a cockslave.

Kegels are the same exercises done by pregnant women. There are many how-to websites. Go a google search. There are also sex toys designed to help women attain and maintain vaginal tone. A Slavekeeper should invest in such toys for his slave.

It is especially important that the slave keep her mool in an attractive form. She is responsible for shaving or trimming her pubic hair according to her Master’s directions. She is responsible for maintaining hygiene and health. As an odalisque it is fundamental to who and what she is that she has something attractive to offer when she is told to spread her legs.

Proper care of her pussy should be made a strict requirement for odalisques. They are free from manual labour and domestic chores. But their obligation to look after themselves - and their sex - is basic to their lifestyle. The Keeper wants to develop healthy habits in a cocksklave in this regard right from the start. It is obviously important for a female sexual servant to keep her pussy in a presentable form. Slavekeepers - insist upon it from every slave! It is essential to the slave’s grooming.

Starting

Many inquiries ask how Code d' Ode is played in simple terms. The Code itself is big and a bit complex. It includes an entire system of etiquette as well as a system of contract. Then there's a philosophy of erotic slavery. What does it all amount to? How does an ordinary couple get started?

The short answer to this is that the core of Code play is the relationship between Slavekeeper and odalisque. You play Code d' Ode by taking on the Keeper and odalisque roles. The man becomes the Keeper and the woman becomes his odalisque. It is as simple as that. Start there.

The only thing that matters is that the woman is treated as a dedicated cockslave and is preserved from other and lower forms of slavery. She is not a maid or a drudge. She is a sexual slave. The Code defines such a slave.

Couples play simply by starting their own game of Slavekeeper and odalisque. They can develop these roles in any way they like - the Code offers detailed guidelines that they might choose to follow. Couples are always free to adapt Code d' Odalisque to their own preferences.

Just start by having the woman naked and humble while she attends to her man. Ad lib around the "sex slave" theme while you learn more about Code d' Odalisque.

Gradually, the Slavekeeper can then teach his slave the standard slave positions set out in the Code and slowly develop her character as odalisque (cockslave).

It is best to start with informal play and to then add items of etiquette and formality step by step.

If you are looking for somewhere to start - the Slavekeeper/slave relationship is central. Start there. And the place to start there is talking. Discuss, negotiate - before you begin. Go slow. Make sure you discuss the issue of consent.

In practical terms, the best place to start is with the slave positions which are described in the relevant section of the Code.

The Collar

Question: Does an odalisque wear a collar to indicate that she is a slave?

Not necessarily. People commonly use collars in Master/slave play, but the collar is not a requirement in Code d' Odalisque. Instead, the slave is kept naked and her nakedness is a symbol of her servitude, her nakedness is her leash. Code d' Ode is different than other styles of Master/slave play in this regard. The collar is for a newly captured low slave. It is a symbol of the memlook. But an odalisque is a special slave with a high status and is usually free of a collar.

Since it is most improper - indeed insulting - to treat an odalisque like a memlook, some consider it an affront to put a collar on an odalisque. Usually, if a memlook is elevated to the higher status of odalisque she will have her collar removed. But she will be held in captivity (occlusion) and she will be (essentially) naked. Since beauty and sex are now her "work", she no longer needs the clothes that protect the worker, the maid or the cook. An odalisque's nakedness is her leash - and her collar.

Others like to use a collar as a symbol of slavery. Some find it aesthetic as well as psychologically effective.

In Code d' Odalisque it is the nape of the neck, the back of the neck, that is important. It is a gesture of submission for the slave to offer her Master the nape of her neck.

Otherwise, an odalisque may wear a (discreet) collar when she is on sojourn but not when she is in occlusion. In that case, the collar serves as a reminder to her that even though she goes about like a freewoman when she is on sojourn, she remains a slave.

On the whole, the collar is not central or important to Code d' Odalisque. It is not usually a part of odalisque slavery. It is more a feature of other styles of slave play.

The Highest Plateau

The whole purpose of a female sexual servant is to facilitate the luxuries of male sexual indulgence. Odalisques (like whores) exist for the sole purpose of bringing pleasure to men. The reason a man owns an odalisque is so that she will serve in his bed and enable him to explore and enjoy an array of sexual pleasures. An odalisque is a fantasy slave. A man owns an odalisque so that he can use her to explore his sexual fantasies and taste new delights.

Because male sexual pleasure is the immediate objective of odalisque slavery, Code d' Odalisque is maledom and PHALLIC in nature. The quest for male pleasure in Code d' Odalisque is cock-centred. For men, Code d' Ode is an opportunity to explore PHALLIC PLEASURE. This is the intense cock-centred pleasure generated by direct erotic contact with the phallus. Phallic pleasure is exactly the pleasure men and boys get from masturbation - direct tactile pleasuring of the shaft and head of the phallus.

The serious and dedicated pursuit of phallic pleasure is a quest for the experience that might be called the "highest plateau.“ The art of it is to delay ejaculation while applying increasing levels of intense pleasure to the phallus. The high art of sexual pleasure for the phallic man is to be able with withhold ejaculation even under intense provocation.

When he does this he will experience a series of "plateaus“ during which the need to fight off ejaculation wanes. For a while he is nearly cumming. Then this urge subsides and he can continue to apply pleasure to his cock without fear of ejaculating. He has reached a plateau.

Soon, though, the urge to cum returns with new urgency. He fights it off. If he succeeds, he reaches another plateau. And so on. Each plateau is at a new level of pleasure, a new level of intensity.

At the higher levels the man’s entire body becomes „phallic“ as it were and the pleasure of his cock radiates to other parts of his body. He begins to quake. The phallus becomes the means of inducing a deeper ecstasy throughout the entire sensorium.

The quest is for the highest plateau. A cockslave should be used in this quest. That is her purpose. She assists her Master on his quest for the highest plateau. It is the quest of the phallic man. This, quite unashamedly, is the immediate purpose of Code d' Odalisque.

Luxury and charity

Code d' Odalisque tries to strike a balance between decadence and good taste, indulgence and responsibility. Its framework - consent, safety, legality - has an ethical intent. The balance between indulgence and responsibility is especially important. It is fundamental. With indulgence comes responsibility. And with luxury comes charity.

Code d' Ode presupposes a rich man's world. Even if you regard yourself as of modest means, if you can afford an odalisque you are a wealthy man. An odalisque by definition is a luxury. She is not necessary. She is not essential. She does no work. She is a pure indulgence. Devoted to pleasure.

With luxury comes charity. Wealth should go hand in hand with charity. If one is fortunate in life, it is proper to share that good fortune with those less fortunate. People like Bill Gates understand this.

Code d' Odalisque is a slave code. Slaves are bought and sold. But this - of course - is illegal. In the civilized, urbane, modernized slavery of Code d' Ode the old ways of buying and selling are now transformed to the dignity of charity and alms. The old days of the slave trade are gone. The good old days of capturing maidens on the high seas and selling them at bustling slave markets in Marakesh are gone. These days the slaveprice is commuted into charity and the Slaveowner makes a donation to an appropriate good cause.

This is an important dimension of Code d' Odalisque. The Code includes a simulated slave economy. All the fun of the market and the auctions but the money goes to charity.

In general, Code d' Ode players should adopt a pro-charity attitude to their play. There are many ways that a Code social scene might raise money for charity. Think as socialites. Turn the luxury and decadence of consensual odalisque slavery to a good end.

Doubtless charity is a legitimation device for the wealthy. It is here too. By devoting play to charitable ends it legitimizes the indulgences of the play, it sanitizes. But it is important to have a device to offset the guilt that lurks in people. Linking the luxury of an odalisque to appropriate charities is such a device. It legitimizes. It makes the slave a slave. It is a remedy for guilt. It is an important part of the balance.

The appropriate charities are those devoted to stopping female genital mutilation, forced prostitution and child prostitution. When a gentleman takes an odalisque and begins to enjoy her it is proper for him to extend his generosity to an appropriate charity, as a gesture of respect for the slave's femininity.

The Slavekeeper model is the "millionaire playboy" who lives an opulent lifestyle but is a tireless champion of noble causes. In this case his opulent lifestyle entails a live-in naked cockslave and the noble causes are appropriate to the ethos of the institution of odalisque.

By extension, the odalisque knows that the indulgence of her lifestyle - kept in luxury with no other obligation than to fuck - might assist women who are subject to brutality and are deprived of a sexual identity.

The Slave on Sojourn

20.4. - A cockslave in sojourn not a freewoman

An odalisque in sojourn is not a freewoman, although she goes as a freewoman in the world. She is an odalisque. If she is bonded, then she is the sexual property of her Keeper at all times, in occlusion or sojourn. If she is unbonded then she yearns to be owned sexually by a Keeper.


In modern conditions the 24/7 cockslave is rare. Rather, contemporary women either need to work or want to pursue their careers, or they want to study, etc. This requires arrangements where the slave spends part of her time in "sojourn". This is also the case where she needs to leave the house and interact with the world for other reasons, such as going to gym or swimming or to yoga classes. The odalisque's life is very likely to involve times when she is in sojourn rather than in "occlusion" as a slave.

A slave on sojourn goes about her business like a freewoman but she remains a slave. The Code provides rules for the slave on sojourn. For instance, she is forbidden from discussing her slavery with strangers, i.e. she is sworn to be discreet.

To remind her that she is bonded to her Master he may require that she wear a reminder of her captivity.

20.2. - A reminder of captivity during sojourn

A Keeper may require that his cockslave wear a collar or, more appropriately, an ankle band or nose ring, or some other item of clothing or jewellery, whenever she is in sojourn to remind her of her captivity and her continuing obligations as an odalisque
.

The usual device for this is the anklet or ankle band. The odalisque has an anklet that she wears whenever she is on sojourn. She is forbidden to leave the house without wearing it. It serves as a subtle, inconspicuous reminder that she remains a cockslave even when not in occlusion.

The true odalisque loves occlusion. She will try to minimize her time on sojourn.

20.1. - An odalisque loves occlusion

A true odalisque prefers occlusion and captivity to sojourning as a freewoman. An odalisque shall attempt to minimize the time she spends in sojourn.

Physical Health

1.30. - Physical health

Code d' Odsalisque promotes a culture of physical health, elegance and beauty, luxury tempered with taste, debauchery with refinement. All players are encouraged to keep physically healthy, to eat well and exercise and to understand that good general physical condition is the key to potent libido.

15.12. - Physical health

The training of an odalisque will normally include a physical regime to keep her healthy and her body supple and ready for visual and sexual enjoyment.


Code d' Odalisque and "Code Culture' is pro-healthy living because it is pro-sexual. All players are encouraged to keep themselves fit and healthy and to understand that there is a necessary connection between good health and good times. Odalisques, in particular, must be kept healthy. Regular exercise and clean food are an important part of the odalisque's lifestyle. Her skin and hair must be kept in optimum health. Her beauty, as well as her stamina, depends upon healthy habits.

The Code is not puritanical about this. The values of Code d' Odalisque are hedonistic. But it is pro-health - because it is pro-sexual. Swimming, walking, jogging, gym, cycling - an odalisque's full lifestyle will include some type of healthy exercise. The exercise that is most recommended is a gentle form of yoga. This keeps the body toned and supple.

Karsya - begging

17.8. - Karsya

An odalisque shall be trained in the formal mode of begging to be used in cock worship. The slave falls to her knees, clutches her Keeper's legs, rests her cheek on his thigh such that his crotch is near her face, and she begs him for cock in this position. She begs directly to his cock. It is called "Karsya", face to face or eye to eye.


Article 17.8 of Code d' Odaliusque describes a method of cockworship called "Karysa", a term meaning 'face to face' or 'eye to eye'. This is very simple. The Slavekeeper can be standing or sitting. The odalisque falls to her knees, clutches hold of his legs and places her cheek on his thigh so that her face is then directly facing his cock only inches away. In this position, she starts talking directly to his cock. She does not address her Master here. She addresses his cock directly. She begs. She implores. She might say to it, "Please fuck me... Please fuck me...Please let me serve you.." She speaks in a passionate whisper and begs the cock to let her serve it.

This method of begging for cock - or begging TO cock - is called 'Karysa'. If a Slavekeeper commands his slave "Karysa!" then she falls to her knees, hugs his legs, puts her cheek on his thigh and starts begging his cock that she might serve it and worship it.

The method of Karysa should be included in the training of an odalisque. She should learn how to beg in this manner to her Master's satisfaction.

The Gloryhole

A "gloryhole" is a hole in a wall strategically placed to allow a man to poke his penis through it while, on the orther side of the wall, someone pleasures it orally. In popular culture the "gloryhole" has been part of gay underworld culture. You can find gloryholes in public toilets which are pick up places for homosexuals, or in the toilets of gay nightclubs. By extension, the idea has heterosexual popularity too. In porn films, the woman goes to the lavatory and to her pleasant surprise a huge black erection pokes through a hole in the wall. Naturally, she starts sucking...

A gloryhole is a natural device in the process of objectification and cockworship. It separates the man from the cock. It allows the slave to serve cock, just cock, independent of her Master's personality. She can treat the cock as an object. It is very useful in this respect. And much fun.

But in Code d' Odalisque we rescue the gloryhole from the toilet/grunge associations it has had. Instead, it becomes a built-in feature of the Slavekeeper's playroom, his saray. And it can be done tastefully. Perhaps a brass ring surround, handles and other comforts for the gentleman on his side of the wall, and some cushions for the slave on the other side of the wall.

Gentlemen who are setting up a saray (playroom) in which to play with their slave or slaves should consider the erotic possibilities of the gloryhole. It is very much in keeping with the dynamics of odalisque service and odalisque cockwoprship.

History?

Question: I was reading that some historians say that odalisques were not sex slaves. Your depiction of odalisques is wrong.

Code d' Odalisque is a creative enterprise. It does not purport to be historically accurate. And in so far as it draws upon historical models, those models are NOT the real history of slaves in Ottoman Turkey. Instead, Code d' Ode draws upon odalisques as they were IMAGINED by Europeans in the 18th and 19th centuries. The values and aesthetics of Code d' Ode - and the fantasy of it - are taken from the works of European Orientalists, not history books about Ottoman society. The inspiration for Code d' Odalisque was the paintings of hareems and naked slaves done by European painters.

The point is that Europeans IMAGINED odalisques in this way. Code d' Ode draws upon those imaginings as its "historical" material. Otherwise, we are not interested in history and what historians might say. Code d' Ode is about pleasure and fantasy, creative hedonism - who cares what historians say?

A ploy by predators?

Question: While Code d' Odalisque sounds nice, I fear it is just a ploy set up by men who are predators looking for submissive women to prey upon. All the nice things the Code says about women might be just a sop to hide the fact that its really all about men treating women as objects.

Answer: Criticism of Code d' Odalisque is always welcome. It is a pity there is not more criticism and scrutiny and open discussion about other areas of the BDSM scene.

Some of the points raised in this question are covered in an earlier post:

http://codeodalisque.blogspot.com/2010/05/status-of-women.html

But a few more specific responses:

*There are certainly predatorary men, creeps, lunatics, women-haters throughout the alternative sex scene. That should be taken as a given. But Code d' Ode is not a clever ploy by such men to find fresh victims. On the contrary, it is a written code that tries to protect submissive females from abuses. In many respects it is stacked heavily in favor of the slave. The public response to Code d' O is telling. More women are interested than males. Guys complain it places too many restrictions upon them.

*No one denies that women (odalisques) are treated as (erotic) objects in Code d' Ode. In fact, that is the point of the game in some ways. An odalisque allows herself to be used as a sexual toy. That's the fun of it. But it is fun for both male and female, because it caters to women who find fulfillment in such a role. It is hard for some people to acknowledge that there are such women, but there are, just as there ereally are women who get thrills from being whipped and subjected to nipple torture. It takes all kinds. And there are real odalisque types. They love being used as sexual objects.

*Consent is the issue. It is of course wrong to treat a woman as an object if she wants otherwise. But if she is fully consenting - indeed eager - then where is the problem? Fact is, most people, a solid 90+% of people, probably don't understand the entire idea of consensual slavery. They can't understand that sane, healthy adults might like to live (or play) like that. But all that demonstrates is the narrowness of the world-view of Mr and Mrs Average.

*Code d' Ode is not for everyone. It is politically incorrect. It is pro-heterosexual in a gay, gay world. It is old fashioned and regards traditional, meek, erotic femininity with a reverence that modern feminists really loath. Yet every day we receive emails from people -mainly females - saying that Code d' Ode is a flavor in alternative lifestyles that they've always dreamed about. It caters to a niche.

*Even if you are not convinced that the motives of Code d' O are pristine, on a sliding scale of evils it is hardly a public menace. The motto is consent - safety - legality. Meanwhile, there are some very dark corners in the alternative sex scene, especially in the harder areas of BDSM play. Code d' Ode is mild by comparison. We receive emails all the time from women who have had bad experiences with "Doms". They see Code d' Ode as a refuge. Many people might find that Code d' Ode is morally ambiguous in terms of their values, but in the bigger picture it is a good thing.

Wine

10.6. - A cockslave shall serve wine

An odalisque shall serve wine to her Keeper and attend to his sensual pleasures.


Code d' Odalisque makes specific provisions for the enjoyment of "wine". The word "wine" however is used as a generic term and may mean other recreational beverages according to the tastes of the Slavekeeper. In some of the cultures from which the traditions and aesthetics of Code d' Ode have been drawn wine is a forbidden substance. The word therefore has a sense of risque, the forbidden. In practice, the "wine" enjoyed might be whiskey or vodka, or whatever - according to the tastes of the Keeper. Or indeed, a Slavekeeper may enjoy wine and have a taste for expensive wines.

The beverage that is traditionally associated with odalisque sensuality is ABSINTHE.

Moreover, "wine" need not just mean beverages but the category may include recreational substances (drugs) - with certain provisos. One proviso is that a Slavekeeper should not involve an odalisque in matters that are illegal, and most drugs are illegal in most places.

The traditional recreational drug associated with odalisque sensuality is HASHISH. This is illegal in most places, but not everywhere.

An odalisque should be trained to serve her Master his "wine" whatever that may be.

Code d' Odalisque is about the uninhibited pursuit of pleasure. The use of recreational drugs - usually alcohol - is going to be a natural part of this for many people. The Code does encourage style and civility, though. Elitist as it may seem, such urban commonplaces as slurping beer from cans and sucking pot from bongs would be out of place.

Psychological safety

Question: Even though you say Code d' Odalisque is non-violent, there is still psychological violence and psychological sadism. What does the Code do to prevent that?

There are many features of the odalisque's life, as defined by Code d' Odalisque, that work to protect her from all kinds of abuses. She has her own space, her odella, she has a Contract, she has rest, she has rights. More importantly, she has an Overmistress, a woman (usually older) who will look after her interests and her welfare, including her psychological welfare.

More generally, Code d' Ode is a pro-social and pro-community code. Couples play sex slave games in the privacy of their relationships but when they decide to move to a more serious level of play they should extend their contacts and enter a community of fellow players.

This is for many reasons, foremost being questions of safe play. There is some safety in networks. It is lone rogues who are a problem in any alternative sex scene.

True, an odalisque submits to captivity and to isolation as a condition of her occlusion. But she should be equipped for this by nature and have natural aptitude for such a lidfestyle. And she has - at least - her Overmistress besides her Master. Better still, she and her Master are part of a networkl of players.

Abuses are always possible. Consider the ideals and the realities of the institution of marriage, for instance. We cannot guarantee that women will not be abused under Code d' Odalisque, but on any reading of the terms and conditions of the Code it is heavily weighted towards the safety and well-being of the slave. Safety is a serious issue. Odalisque slavery can be intense. Submission to sexual use is not for every woman.

If, for instance, a young woman entered odalisque slavery but it proved that she was not psychologically equipped for the role, her Overmistress should detect this situation and intervene. That is how it should work. Much depends, of course, upon the human beings that fill these roles.

Code in BDSM

Question: How is Code d' Ode received in the BDSM community generally? Is it acknowledged as a legitimate alternative?

Code d' Ode is still relatively new and so most of the BDSM community - which is a very diverse and shapeless community - have probably not encountered it as yet. It has been around for about a decade but only in recent years has it been promoted on the WWW. There has been a mixed reaction. Some people in the "scene" see it as a welcome expansion of the available "flavors" - others are hostile.

Code d' Odalisque is non-violent and non-sado-masochistic. Therefore, people who are into S & M are likely to dislike it. In some on-line forums you will find such people making very disparaging remarks, calling Code d' Ode "vanilla" and so on. There are, unfortunately, some very narrow-minded purists in the BDSM scene and they look upon anything new unfavorably.

On the other hand, many Code d' Ode practitioners have a background in BDSM and understand that Code d' Ode is just an extension of current formats and styles of play with an emphasis on such themes as bondage, captivity, obedience . Clearly, Code d' Ode belongs within the spectrum of BDSM. But it is a different system and a different tradition. The emphasis is on pleasure (hedonism) and the slave play is non-violent. No whips, etc.

We should stress that if people enjoy pain and enjoy S & M, that is fine. Code d' Ode is for people - especially women - who are looking for non SM slave play. We look forwartd to the time when such choices are fully respected inside and beyond the BDSM community. Code d' Ode provides another option for consenting adults.

Seeking to serve - some advice

SEEKING TO SERVE

Advice for Females Aspiring to be Sexual Servants
under Code d' Odalisque


Many women - maybe most of them - love cock. But not all women are suited to be cockslaves.

A cockslave has a special, overwhelming, intense, fantatical love of cock. It is a love that might be properly compared to religious devotion. A cockslave is obsessed, fascinated, crazy. She feels a profound urge to serve cock with her body. She has a deep urge to submit and to serve.

True cockslaves are rare. Many women will say they are suited for this role but in fact very few women are truly suited with a true calling for the cockslave's life. A love of sex is not enough. A cockslave has a consuming mad passion that makes her restless and unfulfilled.

Are you really a cockslave?

Is cockslave your true vocation?


The Modern World

True cockslaves often find that they are misunderstood and misused in life. They are often brutalized in bad relationships or else they fall prey to abusive and exploitative men. Many of them fall into prostitution. This is because they are not really valued in today's society. The modern world only caters for the slut or the whore, but doesn't understand the slave.

The slave wants to be KEPT FOR SEX and protected and nurtured by a Keeper and used as a sexual servant, a sexual toy, a "fuckpuppet" in his fantasies, servicing and worshipping cock.

A slut values her freedom to move on. A whore wants reward. A slave is neither a free agent and nor does she want reward. Instead, she submits, surrenders, to a Master who will look after her and put her to proper use.


A New Framework

In the great slavekeeping cultures of the Orient the female sexual slave was called an "odalisque". Today, the institution of odalisque (cockslave) has been rewritten for modern conditions in the form of the "Code d' Odalisque" - a complete set of manners, rules, regulations and etiquette for contemporary Master/slave players. It provides a civilized code where all players know the rules.

The purpose of the Code is to provide a consensual, safe and legal framework for this type of play. Above all, the purpose of the Code is to protect women who feel a genuine calling for the cockslave life. Such women are a great blessing to the world. The Code is designed to give them shelter, purpose and guidance in times when they are likely to be slandered and abused. The Code sets out their rights and their obligations and provides structure and clarity for all those who want to engage in this type of lifestyle.


Non-violent

Submissive women are often dragged into violent and sado-masochistic scenes. Code d' Odalisque is non-violent and not based on SM play. It is based on sex and pleasure, not torture and pain. Many women say, "I'm not into pain and torture and whips and dungeons. I just want to be used sexually! I just want to serve cock!" Code d' Ode is perfect for such women. Odalisques are highly regarded and treated with great respect. (If you enjoy pain and torture and humiliation then Code d' Ode is probably not the style of Dom/sub play for you.)


Not a Domestic Slave

An odalisque (cockslave) is a sexual servant - she is not a housemaid. In Code d' Odalisque a cockslave is preserved from menial domestic chores. She cannot be made to cook or clean. That is not her proper task. She is KEPT FOR SEX. (If you enjoy being treated as a domestic submissive who cooks and cleans then Code d' Ode is probably not the style of Dom/sub play for you.)


Consent First

The most important feature of Code d' Odalisque (compared to slavery in previous times) is that all play must be CONSENSUAL.

This is the first thing for a woman to realize when she is thinking of becoming a cockslave. She can only do so by CONSENT. She cannot be coerced or bullied or forced by anyone. Her decision is hers alone and must come out of an inner necessity. Of course, submissive women are often subject to coercion, bullying and force. Code d' Ode is designed to minimize the likelihood of such abuses. It guarantees women the absolute right to full, informed consent.


Embrace The Code

The best way that a submissive woman can find a proper place as a cockslave (sexual servant) in today's world is to embrace CODE d' ODALISQUE and to insist to the men she meets that she wants to play according to "The Code".

TELL YOUR MAN THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.

MAKE CODE d' ODALISQUE YOUR CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND YOUR GUIDE TO CONSENSUAL COCKSLAVE PLAY.


INSIST ON PLAYING UNDER CODE d' ODALISQUE

CONSENT, SAFETY, LEGALITY

Saturday, June 19, 2010

Turnkey

Question: What is a Turnkey?

This is a technical term in Code d' Odalisque for a person who looks after safety and security where necessary in sexual slave play. For example, if an odalisque is to be placed in captivity - locked up - then her Master may ask someone else to act as "Turnkey" and give them a spare set of keys, just in case.

Some types of slave play can be risky. There can be accidents. Even light bondage can go wrong. Code d' Ode puts a strong emphasis upon safety. Safety is the business of the Turnkey.

Code d' Ode is non-violent, but players can still explore other more extreme types of activities. Orgies and gangbangs, for example. Sometimes it is necesary to have a man at the door in such events. Someone who deals with any troublemakers. That is the Turnkey. He is in charge of safety and security.

The well-being of the odalisque is always his first concern.

A Turnkey is a non-sexual player and is only needed in more elaborate or extreme types of play.

Female shapes

Question: "Do odalisques have to be beautiful? All the women in your pictures are young and slim. I'm not. But I would love to be an odalisque. Is there any place for plain women or big ladies?"

Code d' Odalisque does not express any preference for any type of female body. All types can be beautiful, and it is her submission and her devotion and her willingness to serve that makes an odalisque beautiful. Large women, as well as slim women, big or petite - any woman can be an odalisque provided she has the aptitude and disposition.

You will find that among men there are a wide range of tastes. Some men prefer large ladies even though the fashion industry promotes slim ones. Any mature gentleman will understand that women in real life are not like women in magazines. Do not feel that you would be left unowned. Odalisques are rare. Slavekeepers cannot be too fussy and expect them to be supermodels.

People speak of the "slave heart" - that someone has a slave's heart. That is what matters. Women should not feel that they are excluded from serving as odalisques just because they are no longer young and slim. The desire to serve is what matters and if that is sincere then men will see your beauty.

Submissive females often have low self-esteem and a poor body image. That is part of their submissive personality. They should not think "I am too ugly to be an odalisque." The urge to serve is what is crucial. They should follow that urge and let the gentlemen who are put over them be judges of their beauty. And part of the training of an odalisque is teaching her how to be beautiful. Any woman can be beautiful.

If a woman has a genuine urge to serve as an odalisque, her age and body shape and size do not matter.

Another style for Slavetrainers

Question: I train slaves in the usual BDSM ways, but I can see that some female subs would like the Code d' Odalisque style of slavery. Can I adapt Code d' Ode to my slavetraining activities? Do you think it mixes with the more usual BDSM forms?


Code d' Odalisque can be another string in your bow. Slavetrainers do not have to be exclusively devoted to the Code. Already we know of Trainers in the BDSM scene who are offering Code d' Ode style options to female subs. We encourage and support this, of course.

Code d' Odalisque is an extension of, a development from, the usual BDSM types of play. The odalisque is a specialised slave. She therefore requires specialised training. Any good slavetrainer will be able to adapt his practices to the norms and ideals of Code d' Odalisque and offer a mode of training adapted for odalisques. The Trainer should learn all he can about Code d' Odalisque and then be creative in adapting it to his operation.

There is now a wealth of training material to assist Slavetrainers. There are methods of training included in Code d' Ode. Trainers who want to cater to odalisque females are free to draw on this material and to develop their own methods. Above all, training an odalisque is gentle and non-violent and is focused upon her role as a sexual slave.

Please feel free to take from Code d' Odalisque whatever you find useful. We urge Slavetrainers to offer services to fem subs who want the odalisque option. Trainers can think of Code d' Ode as another style of slave play with its own style of training.

Captive Mentality - Slavetraining

15.6. - A captive mentality

The objectives and practice of training an odalisque shall include the cultivation of a captive mentality, the experience of confinement, bondage and restriction.


Training must cultivate a captive mentality in the slave. She is a captive, not a freewoman, a prisoner. Training should imbue a strong sense of this from the outset. An odalisque is a luxury slave and has many more privileges than other slaves (memlooks), but she is nevertheless a captive. Training practices will reinforce this sense in her. Not only is she isolated from other people, she is being held captive and lives the life of a sexual prisoner.

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

As well as removing the slave to an isolated unfamiliar location, it is good practice to begin training by placing the slave in solitary confinement for periods of time. In this way she is completely cut off from the world and will become even further disoriented. We need to disturb her sense of time and space in a fundamental way. Solitary confinement is a good way to achieve this quickly.

For this purpose you need a small confined space that is warm, dry and totally dark. At the beginning of training you might place the slave in there for hours at a time. Some Trainers may even place a new slave in solitary confinement for days at a time. This is extreme, but it is certainly effective. It helps to draw a line between the slave's old life and her new life of service. It is sometimes useful as a first step to "strip the slave back".

In any case, an odalisque must be trained to be accustomed to isolation. By definition, an odalisque is kept apart from the world. During training - which prepares the slave for service - she is kept isolated for longer and longer periods to help her get used to being kept captive and alone.

Isolation is a very powerful tool for making your subject passive and impressionable. Solitary confinement is very effective for "softening up" a subject. Her whole psychology will change.

In other styles of BDSM training pain is used as a tool to get to the deeper layers of the slave's psychology. Pain is not used in Code d' Odalisque, but psychological techniques such as solitary confinement can be used instead provided all due care is taken for the slave's well-being.

A combination of isolation and manipulation of sleep is a very powerful foundation for slavetraining. With these two tools alone you can shape the slave. But be gentle. Because they are powerful tools they can also be dangerous. Solitary confinement can be dangerous to the mentally fragile, for example. A Trainer must always carefully monitor the effects of training upon the slave. Any techniques that induce unexpected side-effects in the slave should be immediately discontinued.


CAPTIVITY

You can underline the slave's sense of captivity by using cages and other restrictive devices. It is good practise to keep the slave caged for a period of time each day as part of her training. Teach her to become accustomed to restriction and restraint in this way. This is part of her on-going “discalcing.” An obvious difference between a freewoman and a slave is that a freewoman has free mobility, whereas a slave does not. Teach your slave this bedrock fact by keeping her caged or restrained during training. Captivity and restriction, along with isolation, are always key themes in odalisque slavery.

Throughout her training a slave should be placed in restriction - caged or bound or gagged or blindfolded, tied to a bed, strapped to a table. An objective of training is to make the slave accustomed to periods of restriction. Keep the slave in bondage for increasingly long periods of time. The slave must get used to restraint.

Impose physical restrictions upon the slave. The important thing is:

Teach her that she does not have control of her body. She is captive. She must be accustomed to surrendering control of her body to another.

You can use all sorts of devices to restrain and restrict a slave. Bondage and restraint are natural parts of Code d’ Ode slave play. Train the slave to be accustomed to a whole range of methods of restriction. Slavetrainers can use their imagination here.

A slave must be taught that her body is not her own. It is a crucial lesson. We teach the slave this lesson by restricting her control over her own body. She must get used to having someone else control her body. As a training tool, restraint and restriction help develop an attitude in the slave that submits her physical body to others to manipulate and use as they will. Tie her up. Move her from place to place. Reposition her. From the start she should spend a large amount of her time with you, the Trainer, having complete control over her body.

Bondage and restraint are a natural part of Code d’ Odalisque. Explore bondage as far as the slave’s limits allow. As part of her training, introduce the slave to a full range of bondage play.

Begging for cock - Article 24.66

24.66. - A formal mode of begging for cock 

An odalisque may formally beg her Keeper for cock - which is to say she begs to be put to her proper use, cock worship - in the following manner: 

(a) The slave approaches her Keeper and seeks his ear.
(b) The slave whispers to him, "Slavekeeper, your slave begs you for cock!"
(c) If her Slavekeeper declines or says that he is busy or uninterested in using her at this time, she may continue:
(d) The slave whispers to him, "Slavekeeper, your slave is sworn to worship cock."
(e) If her Slavekeeper still declines or says that he is busy or uninterested in using her at this time, she may continue a third time:
(f) The slave whispers to him, "Slavekeeper, a third time. Your slave is begging you for cock. She is mad with lust for cock!"
(g) She may further fall to her knees, clutch at his legs and look up at him, begging "J'adore le phallus! J'adore le phallus! J'adore le phallus! J'adore le phallus!" until he tells her to either show him "his mool" or to desist.
(h) If the Slavekeeper relents he says, "Show your Keeper his mool, slave!" at which the slave shall back away and display her cunt to him in invitation.
(i) If the Slavekeeper is not prepared to relent he says, "Desist!" at which the slave must say, "Oui, Keeper, merci" and, falling to hands and knees, back away from him on the floor, stand and await his instructions.

LET US KNOW = active players

Code d' Odalisque has been in circulation for over a decade but on the WWW for only a few years. Already there is a growing community of enthusiasts and practitioners worldwide. Most days we receive emails from people from all over the world who are adopted some or all of Code d' Ode into their erotic lives.

But it is impossible to say just how many people there are. Hits on the Code d' Ode website increase weekly and come from dozens of countries. We have Yahoo groups with over 4000 members.

Slavetraining - preliminary considerations

Before training begins a Slavetrainer should do his homework. He needs to know as much as he can about his new trainee. He should spend some time conversing with her and getting to know her. In particular, he needs to be able to make an assessment of her APTITUDE for the odalisque lifestyle. What are her strengths? What makes her suitable? What assets does she bring to the job? For instance, a Trainer might note that his new slave-in-training has the following attributes:

*She is meek and obedient by nature
*She has a natural love of cock
*She is a loner and likes being alone
*She has a strong service ethic and likes to serve others.

These are all qualities needed in an odalisque. These are the things that a Trainer can work with. Training should build upon the qualities of the slave. Before training begins the Slavetrainer should establish a good knowledge of the slave's merits. He needs to know his raw material.

There are many ways this can be done. A formal method would be to conduct a series of one-on-one interviews with the woman prior to the beginning of training. And information can be collected from her Master and others who know her. Additionally, it is proper for a Slavetrainer to sample a slave sexually before or in the early stages of training, once again in order to make an assessment of her virtues and assets.

The purpose of slavetraining under Code d’ Odalisque is to bring a woman who already has aptitude for the odalisque lifestyle to become an odalisque in fact and therefore to find fulfilment in that role. It is NOT the purpose of training to make a woman into something she is not. Training should always be in accord with the nature of the slave. Never try to make a slavewoman into something she is not. Always try to develop skills and aptitudes that are pre-existing. Don’t try to fit a square peg into a round hole. A wise slavetrainer works from the material he is given

Your first task as a slavetrainer is to have a realistic and accurate understanding of your slave. Do not expect her to become something she is not. Do not require her to do things which are contrary to her nature. A slavetrainer should know the strengths and weaknesses of a slave before he starts training her. A slave should be trained according to, rather than contrary to, her nature.

Understand your slave’s limitations, strengths and weaknesses, and allow for them at every step of her training.

For example:

Some people feel the cold more acutely than others. It may happen that your slave gets cold easily. If so, then you should allow her to wear extra clothing in cold weather and/or keep her rooms heated hotter than usual. Take account of her temperament and make adjustments for her. It would be counter-productive to insist that she stay naked. Yes, ideally slaves remain naked, but if your slave feels the cold and her toes start going blue, then make allowances for her.

Know your materials. Know their weaknesses and their strengths. Don't try to bend them in ways they just weren't made to bend.

Training an odalisque

Three items of advice before we begin...

1. Keep slavetraining practical. Don‘t get immersed in theories and ideas. Stay focused on the task at hand - things that make a practical difference. Teach your slave things which will be useful to her in the odalisque’s life. Set specific objectives. For example, you might set “Teach the slave to walk gracefully” as an objective. Then conduct lessons where you teach the slave to walk gracefully. Regular lessons. Until the objective is achived. Keep it concrete and founded in actions, not ideas.

2. Training an odalisque is pretty easy. This is because in its essentials there is nothing too hard about being an odalisque. While she is expected to be refined and graceful in her general manner, nevertheless - when it really comes down to it - her basic duties can be defined as: "Spread your legs! Do as you are told!" It is not hard for a woman to let men use her as a passive sex doll. So do not over-theorize and complicate the issue. Remember that an odalisque is nothing more than a fuckpuppet. Keep it simple. You are not training an astronaut.

3. Devise ways to have your slave focused upon - fascinated by - obsessed with - cock. If your slave is cock fixated then your training has succeeded. Devise ways to make your slave phallocentric. She must really love cock. That, finally, is the measure of a cockslave. A good trainer will nurture the odalisque's love of cock and turn it into a passion.

Slavetraders

Gentlemen who are enthusiastic about Code d' Odalisque and its values should consider establishing themselves as a SLAVETRADER. (Also called an Advocate, or Agent.) This is a man who seeks, finds, tutors and assists odalisques. His role is essentially non-sexual, but - of course - in his dealings with odalisques he is very likely to find one for his own enjoyment.

The Slavetrader in Code d' Odalisque has one objective: to help odalisques be odalisques. The Trader works on the knowledge that there are real odalisques in the world. Women who find fulfillment in sexual service. True odalisques are rare, but they exist. And there are many women who are within the range of the odalisque-type.

Slavetraders offer their services to such women. He helps them learn about Code d' Odalisque and the odalisque lifestyle and her erotic arts. He is not a Slavemaster or a Slavetrainer. He instructs and informs. And networks. He finds slaves and Slavekeepers and he connects them, links them up.

The Trader facilitates purchase and oversees contract. He administers. His first duty, though, is to locate and assist and protect women who are (or think they might be) odalisques at heart.

Needless to say, such a gentleman needs to be a man of some integrity.He needs to relate well to women and be trusted. He should also have a good knowledge of Code d' Odalisque and understand the odalisque's role.

Fathomless lust, perfect obedience

One of the mottos of an odalisque is "Fathomless lust, perfect obedience". It sums up the tension, the paradox, that is at the heart of the odalisque. On the one hand she is expected to be refined and elegant, and on the other hand she is expted to be wild and frenzied. There is control on the one hand and mad sexual lust on the other. Slavery is, by definition, an exercise in restriction, control. She is always controlled. Her Master controls her. But she must also be seething with lust.

This is the cockslave ideal. She is controlled, poised, disciplined, obedient, compliant. Yet she is also wild, cock-crazy, mad with passion. She must be trained to be both. There is expansion and there is contraction. She is to learn both. Fathomless lust. Complete abandon. Mad sexuality. But also perfect obedience. Control; Discipline. Compliance to her Master's will and his imagination.

The training of an odalisque can be structured around this motto. Exercises of self-control and obedience. Exercises of wild abandon. Apollo and Dionysius. The whole psychology of the trained odalisque is shaped by these expansions and contractions. She must learn to be shy and wild both.

Sunday, June 13, 2010

Objectification

Much of the psychological dynamics of erotic slavery hangs on the idea of Objectification. Put simply, a cockslave is a sex object. She allows herself to be made an object of sexual use. She allows herself to be a sex toy, a fuckpuppet.

In feminist ideology this is the greatest of all sins. In soft liberal conceptions of human relations, it is a cardinal sin to treat another person as an object. People must always be treated as complex, integral beings.

But the reality of human sexual relations is usually not like this. Sex is a primitive thing and it curls up and dies if you try to drag it into the morally terrified atmosphere of the Sensitive New Age Guy. Sex is animal. Sex is biology. If you stifle it with good intentions it is no longer sexy.

Which is why the hardline feminist do-gooding is ultra non-sexy. Because their ideology violates the basic parameters of sexual nature. Sex thrives on objectification.

Feminist ideology says a man should not look at a woman's breasts. That is to treat her as an object. Big no-no.

But male sexuality is DRIVEN to look at breasts, damn it! That is why breasts stick out like fucking fog-lights and say "LOOK AT US!" Breasts ARE objects. By design.

Sure human beings are complex, rounded, right-endowed, free-willed and emotionally integral beings - but this is not the relevant fact to human sex play. In normal sex play human being's objectify. If you prevent them from doing this, you kill their sexuality.

Emotional relationships should be deep and meaningful, but the sex act doesn't have to be. Sex can be primitive. Sex can be on the "Me-cock, you-cunt" level. And in fact the best, raunchiest sex usually happens when partners get down to this level.

It is unavoidable in any good sex. You might start off "making love" but if things get clicking then soon you are thrashing about like two wild animals and if its really good you can hardly remember your own name, let alone that of the person you're fucking. Names and identities don't matter when the going gets hot. when a man is really pumping his woman he becomes all cock and she becomes all cunt.

Some types of normal sex play are inherently objectifying. Cocksucking for example. Like breasts, the cock sticks out from the body offering itself as a semi-attached object. Men LOVE having their cock treated like an object.

Objectification is essential to slave play. The slave is made an object of sex. This is for women that LOVE being made an object of sex.

Objectification is simplification. The slave must be made into an object, not a complex, free-standing being.

The focus of objectification in Code d' Ode are the genital organs - cocks and cunts. The slave is all cunt. She is her Master's cunt. And at the same time she is fixed upon cock. The cockslave worships cock. Cock is her devotion. She is not fixed on the personality of the man she serves. She is fixed upon his penis. She makes herself into pure cunt seeking pure cock. Master and slave are cock and cunt. Objects.

Three parts of the female form

In some part Code d' Odalisque is all about the appreciation of the female form and the feminine erotic. Slavekeepers, by definition, are connoisseurs of the female body. As well as enjoying the tangible delights of a cockslave's body, a Slavekeeper can expect to enjoy the visual delight of a naked slave ornamenting his life. Code d' Odalisque does not offer preferences for what type of female form is to be desired – thin, plump, short, tall don't matter but are for the personal preference of individual Slavekeepers.

The Code does, however, draw attention to certain parts of the female form that it uses in a symbolic way. Three parts of the female in particular have a developed symbolism:

The Feet

The odalisque is discalced and unshod. Her bare feet are symbolic of her submission. Only freewomen enjoy shoes. There is a certain foot fetish element implicit in this. Men who are into Code d' Ode need not be foot fetishists, but it is there to be explored if you are. A slave's feet are a mark of her beauty.

The Mool

The pussy, the cunt. Needless to say, an odalisque is valued for her sex and so her pussy is an object of special and obvious attention. An odalisque is expected to develop a 'cunt psychology' where she moves into a mental zone where she submits to being her Master's cunt, nothing but a cunt to be used and enjoyed by him.

Nape

The nape of the neck is a symbolic location on the female form in Code d' Ode. The slave bares the nape of her neck to her Master as a gesture of submission. He lays his sword on the back of her neck and demands she confess submission to a life of worshipping cock.

Training and use of a cockslave should develop these places on her body as locations for special attention. A slave should know how to display her feet to her Master, just as she should know how to display her mool, and how to offer her neck to her Master in submission.

Needs Assessment - an aptitude test

The odalisque lifestyle is not suited for every woman, and not even for all sex-crazed cockworshipping women. It is a lifestyle of sexual submission. It is suited only to certain psychological types. True odalisques are rare, but many women are well within the psychological range.

The important thing is that the odalisque lifestyle meets your needs. The important thing is that a woman finds the odalisque lifestyle fulfilling. It must fulfill her needs.

There are many common methods of psychological profiling. One of the most common is based on the theory that human beings have (at least) five basic needs, but that we all have different degrees of these. The five needs are: Security, Love,
Power, Freedom, Fun. Some people have a strong need for power. Some people have a strong need for fun. Some people have a strong need for security. Some people value their freedom above all else.

Obviously, the life of the cockslave is not suitable for someone who values freedom above all else, but a need for security and safety is compatible to the slave role.

Here is a simple test to determine your aptitude to the odalisque lifestyle. It requires that you ASSESS YOUR NEEDS. What are your needs? What motivates you?

Read through the following lists of statements:

SECURITY

I have a strong need for security and safety.
I am quite conservative.
I like set routines.
I like to be comfortable.

POWER

I need a sense of achievement.
I like to be in control.
I like to overcome challenges.
The approval of others is important to me.

FREEDOM

I am an independent person. I value my independence.
I like taking risks.
I don't like to be told what to do.
I like to solve problems by myself.

FUN

I gave a strong need for pleasure.
I am a spontaneous person.
I have a strong sense of play. I am playful.
I like adventure.

BELONGING

I have a strong need to belong (to somewhere or someone).
I like to feel connected to other people.
I like to share. Sharing is an important value for me.

Now arrange these categories in order according to your own needs. Which need is strongest in you? The need for security? The need for love? The need for power? The need for fun?

The test will work better if you also ask someone who knows you well to arrange them in order according to how they think of you.

Spend some time getting them into the right order. From your strongest needs to your weakest needs. What is really important to you?

If you have any aptitude for the odalisque lifestyle then your needs should be roughly in this order:

SECURITY
BELONGING
FUN
POWER
FREEDOM

or

BELONGING
SECURITY
FUN
POWER
FREEDOM

Security, Belonging and Fun are the things that will be important to you. Typically, Security and Belonging are most important. Fun will be third. Freedom and Power will be the things that are least important to the odalisque type.

Women who are sluts (rather than slaves) will be likely to value Fun and Freedom above all things. The slut is sex-loving but the important thing to her is her right to move on. Her love of sex must be in the context of freedom and independence. The feeling of being owned by a man (Belonging) kills her libido.

Women who are whores (rather than sluts or slaves) will be likely to value Security, Power and Freedom ahead of Belonging or Fun. They are interested in sex only as a means to other things.

The odalisque wants (sexual) fun and adventure but she wants it in a secure setting. And she has a strong need to belong. She wants to feel owned. She wants to feel possessed. Freedom and power mean nothing to her. She will happily give away her freedom and power for Security, Belonging and Fun.

The difference between an odalisque and a (typical) wife (a husband/wife relationship) is that a wife values Power much more than Fun. The profile of a (typical) wife will be:

SECURITY
BELONGING
POWER
FREEDOM
FUN

Such women are motivated by the need for security and belonging, just as the odalisque is, but the odalisque is more motivated by (sexual) Fun. The odalisque is happy to give up her Power. But Power is important to the wife type – much more important than fun. The wife role is not essentially sexual. The odalisque role is.

Mool

Question: What does the word "mool" mean?

The word "mool" is used in Code d' Odalisque to refer to the female genitalia, the vagina, the cunt. It is part of a small specialised vocabulary. Every game, lifestyle, sub-culture has its own jargon which is known to and used by the "scene". In Code d' Ode the term used for the female genitals is "mool". By extension, a slave may be referred to as "mool" as in the sentence, "She is very nice mool."

The word itself is an old slang term and comes from the same root as words like "mollusc" = shell fish, oyster. The visual similarity between the vulva and the lipped shell of some molluscs should be obvious. Many languages have slang terms for the vulva that draw attention to their similarity to the lips of oyster shells.

By extension, in this comparison, if the female genitals are being compared to an oyster, then inside the oyster is the "black pearl". The in-house jargon and sexual symbolism of Code d' Odalisque includes these elements. Today the Slavekeeper's Guild for practitioners of this style of slave play is called the 'Guild of the Black Pearl'.

Discalcing Ritual

A RITUAL FOR DISCALCING IN FOUR SCENES

A Mode of Ritual Stripping. This is an example of the basic ritual. Players may elaborate upon this basic scheme.

Action: The female begins the evening as a freewoman and will be taken into slavery.

Officers

Slavetrader
Three Assistants of the Slavetrader.
Slaveowner

Furnishings - A table with two chairs.

The venue requires several separate rooms and a bathroom.

The men assemble before the female arrives. The Slavetrader is seated at a table. Opposite him is an empty chair for the female when she arrives. One assistant stands guarding the door.

Two assistants stand behind where the female is seated, one at each shoulder. The Slaveowner does not arrive till later. The Slavetrader is dressed as a professional in suit and tie with a black eye mask. His assistants are dressed in plain casual black with black eyemasks.

The Slaveowner (when he arrives) is dressed casually, no eyemask.

The room is dimly lit. The approaches to the room are left unlit if possible. When she arrives the female must make her way to the room in the dark. The female (as freewoman) is well dressed, as if going to the theatre. Her hair is up. She wears high-heels, stockings, an evening dress, perfume, handbag, carefully prepared elegance.

SCENE ONE

The female knocks on the door. The guard at the door lets her in, saying nothing. The other two assistants escort her in and seat her at the table.

Female: My name is Victoria. I am a freewoman. I wish to become an odalisque.

Slavetrader: My name is John. I am a Slavetrader. I can take a freewoman into slavery if that is her wish.

Female: It is my wish.

Slavetrader: Do you understand the duties and ways of an odalisque?

Female: I do.

Slavetrader: You understand that she surrenders her sex to men to be enjoyed and used and that that is her
purpose?

Female: I do.

Slavetrader: You understand that before I take you into slavery I must be completely convinced of your
free consent. Are you exercising free consent?

Female: I am.

Slavetrader: You are not acting under any form of coercion or blackmail?

Female: I am not.

Slavetrader: Tell me why you wish to be a cockslave.

The female here gives a three or four sentence account of her feelings.

Slavetrader: Let me see you.

The female stands, turns around, displays herself, sits down again.

Slavetrader: In order to enter slavery you must prepare a Contract detailing your submission. Have you prepared a Contract of Submission?

Female: I have.

She produces the said Contract of Submission.

The Slavetrader then reads through each article of the Contract of Submission requiring that the female
verbally assent to each of them.

Slavetrader: I am satisfied that you meet the requirements of free consent. Before we sign this Contract of Submission, I ask you again. Do you understand the duties and ways of a cockslave?

Female: I do.

Slavetrader: You understand that she surrenders her sex to men to be enjoyed and used and that that is her purpose?

Female: I do.

Slavetrader: You consent to be a cock slave?

Female: I do.

First the slavetrader, then the female, then one of the assistants, signs the Contract of Submission.

Slavetrader: I must now ask you to surrender your shoes to me. The cockslave goes barefooted. If you surrender your shoes to me willingly now you officially enter the state of slavery. If you wish, while your shoes are on, you may still walk away.

The female takes off her shoes and hands them to the Slavetrader. Immediately the Slavetrader signals to his two assistants. They place a hand on each of the slave's shoulders and escort her to a completely dark room.

She is placed in there and left for at least ten or fifteen minutes.

SCENE TWO

The three assistants suddenly burst into the dark room and roughly grab the slavewoman. Some light rough handling is appropriate. They march her to another room.

The Slavetrader awaits there.

The woman is brought before the Slavetrader, a guard under each arm and another behind her.

Slavetrader: Put your eyes down, slave!

The slave lowers her eyes.

Slavetrader: You willingly entered the state of odalisque slavery. A cockslave is eternally naked. Your nakedness is your leash.

The Slavetrader approaches the slave and tears at her clothes saying "Your nakedness is your leash!" He slowly and methodically strips her clothes from her body saying "Your nakedness is your leash!" and impressing upon her the fact that she is now a naked sex slave. He tells her, "You are not a freewoman now!" When she is finally naked he addresses her:

Slavetrader: Slave! You are no longer a freewoman. You are a cockslave. You shall go naked. Your nakedness is your leash. You will serve the men who are over you.

He turns to the guards.

Slavetrader: Take her away and clean her.

The guards take her to the bathroom where she showers, wetting her whole body and her hair. She is brought back to the Slavetrader still wet. She stands dripping before him.


SCENE THREE

The room is now candlelit. The Slavetrader now holds a sword.

Slavetrader: Place her before me and show me her neck.

The slave is thrown to the floor and then made to kneel, head hanging forward, with the nape of her neck exposed. The Slavetrader holds the sword ready to strike.

Slavetrader: Slave! Repeat after me...

(The slave is made to respond to each article)

Response: I am a cockslave.
Response: I claim no past.
Response: I claim no name.
Response: I claim no identity.
Response: I surrender.
Response: I am a cunt.
Response: I am only a cunt.
Response: I am a mouth.
Response: I am only a mouth.,
Response: I am an anus.
Response: I am only an anus.
Response: My body and flesh is devoted to pleasure.
Response: I am a cunt for cock.
Response: I am made for the eyes and hands
Response: and cocks and tongues of men.
Response: I belong to the men who purchase me.
Response: I will obey the men put over me.
Response: I surrender myself as an open cunt
Response: to the men put over me.
Response: They can enjoy me as they will.
Response: I worship cock and only cock.
Response: I serve cock and only cock.
Response: I love and worship cock
Response: with my whole heart and my body and my flesh.
Response: Cock is all I lust for.
Response: Let this sword fall on my neck
Response: If I disobey
Response: Or bring disgrace
Response: Upon the men set over me.

The Slavetrader lowers the sword slowly and places the cold blade of the sword onto the nape of her neck to let her feel it.

Slavetrader: May this sword fall on your neck if you disobey or bring disgrace upon the men set over you.

He takes the sword away. He addresses the guards:

Slavetrader: Bind her and take her for sale.

SCENE FOUR

The guards blindfold, ballgag and bind the slave hand and foot and again carry her back to the first room with the chair and table. She is left in the room alone again.

Then the Slavetrader enters, followed by the guards.

They take the same positions as in the first scene.

The prospective Slaveowner arrives, is escorted in and sits at the table.

The slave watches helpless as the scene takes place.

Slaveowner: My name is [Fred], a Slavekeeper. I am here to purchase the slave Victoria, a freewoman who has entered slavery and is in your keeping.

Slavetrader: She is for sale. Would you like to inspect her?

Slaveowner: I would, yes.

The Slavetrader escorts the slavetrader over to the bound slave and they inspect her. The two men may exchange casual remarks about the slave's virtues and faults and their own preferences. Then they return to their seats.

Slavetrader: Upon entering slavery the slave made a Contract of Submission. I have a copy of it here. It is signed by the slave and by two witnesses.

He shows it to the Slaveowner.

Slaveowner: I see that it is signed and witnessed.

Slavetrader: I am obliged to read it to you.

The Slavetrader reads the Contract of Submission to the prospective owner.

Slavetrader: These are the slave's terms and conditions of slavery. She may add to these a Plea for Mercy to be signed by you. You are bound to never violate the slave's Contract of Submission or to ever dishonour her Plea for Mercy. These are the conditions of Slavekeeping. Do you understand this?

Slaveowner: I understand.

Slavetrader: Slavekeepers are forbidden from placing their slavewomen into whoredom. Do you understand this?

Slaveowner: I understand.

Slavetrader: Now that you know the details of her Contract of Submission, do you still wish to purchase her?

Slaveowner: I do. What is her price?

The Slavetrader reveals her price.

Slavetrader: You may commmute the slaveprice to alms to the poor. As a Slavetrader I am duty bound to impress upon you the benefits of almsgiving. Do you understand the institution of almsgiving?

Slaveowner: I do. I will commute the slaveprice to alms.

Slavetrader: Do you swear to pay the whole amount of the alms in full in one transaction and not by installment, at your nearest possible convenience, and to not dishonour her by taking her free like a slut?

Slaveowner: I do swear.

Slavetrader: Then we agree to a sale. When she entered slavery the slave surrendered her shoes willingly. I have them here. By taking them you take responsibility for this slave.

Slaveowner: I am prepared to take responsibility for this slave.

He hands them to the slave's new owner.

The two men stand and shake hands.

Slavetrader: Would you like to anoint the slave and then take her into occlusion?

Slaveowner: I would yes.

The Slaveowner then anoints the slave with attar, i.e. perfuming her.

Slavetrader: She is yours. It is customary to drink on it.

One of the guards brings wine and two glasses and pours a small amount for each man.

Slavetrader (making a toast): I declare that the slave Victoria is the property of [Fred]. Peace to them
both.

Slaveowner: (accepting the toast) Peace!

They drink.

The Slavetrader leads the owner to the slave and removes her gag and blindfold.

Slavetrader: Slave. You have been purchased by [Fred] for the legitimate slaveprice. He is bound by your Contract of Submission. You may make a Plea for Mercy to him at any time. Acknowledge him as your Slavemaster.

Slave (turning her eyes to her new owner): Slavemaster.

At this point the ritual ends. The slave may be taken off into occlusion or the Keeper may share his new slave in an orgy with the Slavetrader and others.
