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.
