Your Body is Not Your Own

Slaves & 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.

Comparative Sitting Positions

The following picture illustrates the basic sitting position for an odalisque under Code d' Odalisque. It is sometimes called "Second Position" or "Lelune" meaning "like a crescent moon" referring to the curve of the woman's back. Notice that her hands are on her knees, fingers outstretched. Her eyes are looking at her fingers.

This position is usually used for instruction purposes or while the slave is waiting. The slave is silent and still.

Compare the Code d' Ode position "Lelune" to the following picture. It illustrates the basic sitting position for female slaves in Gorean slavery. By extension it is commonly used in slave play throughout the BDSM sub-culture. The slave sits on her haunches. Note the position of the hands; on the thighs, palms upwards.

This Gorean position is not used in odalisque slavery. Code d' Odalisque includes a complete system of distinct slave positions. "Lelune" is position two. Slaves who serve under Code d' Odalisque should be instructed and trained in the appropriate slave positions. Perfecting some of these positions is an art form of elegance. Other positions are for sexual access or sexual display.

Beyond Bondage

My wife and I like to play Master/odalisque roles on the weekend. Do you have ideas about what we can do beyond her running around naked and lots of bondage sex?

Master/odalisque play is a platform for sexual creativity. The Master uses his odalisque for the exploration of fantasy – the motive force of odalisque play is fantasy projection. Invariably, this means extending play beyond the physical to the psychological. There is more to making a woman into an odalisque than just tying her up for bondage sex. It is necessary to extend the bondage to her psychology, to take her deeper into the odalisque role. If she is naturally submissive, this is a good start. Then it is time to use creative slave play to take her to deeper levels of sexual submission.

This means giving an emphasis to the theme of cockworship. An odalisque is not just submissive. Her submission takes the form of cockworship. And the way she worships cock is – naturally enough – by identifying herself as an object of cock lust, which is to say identifying herself as *cunt*. Her mantra must be: I am my Master’s cunt. Tying her up is the first step. The next crucial step, though, is shaping her psychology until she feels herself to be, believes herself to be, identifies herself as, her Master’s cunt. Having tied up her body, we now turn to her mind. This is where odalisque play goes beyond just nakedness and bondage. It goes to cultivating a ‘cunt psychology’ in the slave, which is to say – at the same time – cockworship. The slave is to worship cock and she does this by being cunt. In practice, you need to think of creative ways to achieve this and build such exercises and games into your weekend of fun. Quite a lot can be achieved in a weekend session if you apply yourself to it.

Cockworship. Why not add some ritual elements to your weekend play? You might use a ‘herm’ – that is, a large phallic object used as a focus for devotion. Devise rituals in which the slave worships a phallic object.

Set the slave some intellectual chores that turn her mind to cockworship. Tell her, for instance, that she is to search the internet for a picture of her favorite cock. She must find a picture of the cock she thinks is the most beautiful and arousing. Then she must present the picture to her Master and tell him why she loves this cock.

Begging. Make the slave beg for cock. Push her further and further into begging. Groveling. Pleading. Begging. Debasement.

Erotic dance. Make sessions of erotic dance part of the weekend play. It supplements bondage. Bondage is restriction. Dance is ecstatic movement. Make the slave dance in wild free form before or after bondage. Make her dance like this and at the same time chant “I am my Master’s cunt!”

Restrict the slave’s speech – and by extension her thinking processes – by making her say over and over the mantra ‘I am my Master’s cunt!’ (or similar). (You could set a rule that this is all she is allowed to say for the entire weekend.)

Make the slave spread her legs while chanting ‘I am my Master’s cunt’. Make her identify herself with her mool. Cultivate a ‘cunt psychology’ in her. Again: it is by being CUNT that she worships COCK.

Plying. Restriction, repetition, debasement etc. can all be used to instill cockworship and cunt psychology in a willing slave. You can also use plying – that is, administer wine or other inebriants at the right dose to assist the slave moving easily into deeper levels of submission.

The objective is to fill her mind with the simple facts of COCK and CUNT. Simplify her. Do not let her have complex thoughts. Let the entire weekend be a lesson in how she must worship cock and how she can do this by making herself her Master’s cunt.

In short, beyond bondage, apply mind games to your slave. Simplify her thinking processes and her desires down to the single desire to serve and worship cock through deep sexual submission. Make her cock obsessed. There are many methods that might be applied to this. The task of the Slavekeeper is to apply methods creatively to bring the slavewoman to fuller modes of surrender.

Economic Security

We live in increasingly uncertain times. Automation is evaporating our jobs and at the same time our welfare networks are getting thinner and less reliable. There is a growing number of homeless and destitute people. There is a widening gulf between rich and poor. Work is being casualized - more and more people can only find part-time employment, if at all.

In these circumstances it is a sad fact that an increasing number of young women are looking to prostitution as a way of making a living. It pays alright per hour, perhaps, but it is a lifestyle that entails any number of dangers and disadvantages. There are pimps and police to contend with for a start, then there is exposure to bad characters, disease, drugs and so on. It may be better than starving, but it is not a glamorous life.

The odalisque's lifestyle offers itself as another alternative. An odalisque is a dedicated sexual submissive, a slave who consents to be owned by a Master. Like the whore, her duties are sexual - the sexual enjoyment of men. But unlike the whore she is not for hire and her Master is bound to keep good care of her and to provide for all her needs. She is not an object in a callous and cutthroat market. Her status as "slave" means that she is dedicated to her purpose - she is kept and protected, preserved from hardship and toil, shielded from the ugliness and dangers of whoredom. An odalisque is not a work slave. She is kept for sex. Her Master provides for her as she serves his bed.

Assuredly, this is not a lifestyle for every woman, but - under Code d' Odalisque - it is another possibility. The motto 'Kept for Sex' says it all. The odalisque is kept - she has economic security. Her Master provides for all her needs. She doesn't have to pay rent or work a job. Her role is sexual. Her only duty is to offer herself as a willing, submissive slave for the sexual enjoyment of her Master. In this, her life is regulated by the protocols and rules of the Code. For women who enjoy sex, who like being used, life under the right Master can be secure and fulfilling.

Mottos of the Code - simple principles

You can learn many of the central principles and practices of Code d’ Odalisque through various “mottos” which are often used. Despite Code d’ Ode being a complete set of rules and etiquette, Code play is simple. It can be reduced to some simple key phrases.


Kept for Sex

An odalisque is a specialised slave who is kept exclusively for sexual use.


Fathomless lust. Perfect Obedience.

The objective of Slavetraining is to produce a cockslave characterized by these contrasting qualities: unbounded lust and perfect control.


Man is her Master. Cock is her god.

A Slavekeeper is not a god. An odalisque worships cock, not man. Man is her Master. Cock is her god. This motto explains the Code's approach to phallic worship.


Her tongue is never free.

An odalisque must observe a code of silence regarding her captivity at all times. In active play her Keeper controls her speech. She is never at liberty to discuss her slavery with others (except her Overmistress).


J'adore le phallus.

The French motto of the cock slave - I adore the phallus!


Protect. Nurture. Enjoy.

This motto explains the male attitude to the female under the Code. The man's duty is to protect the female, nurture her and enjoy her.


Consent. Legality. Safety.

This motto is required at the foot of licit contracts. All players are bound by these three things - consensual play, legal play, safe play - at all times.

Her nakedness is her leash.

The Slavekeeper controls a slave's clothing. She is kept captive by being kept naked and barefoot. 

The Gorean Slavery

Code d’ Odalisque is a complete system of consensual erotic slavery. The other modern system popular in BDSM sub-culture is known as “Gorean” or the “Gor” system. This is based upon the fictional works of John Norman, pseudonym of the philosopher Professor John Frederick Lange Jr. Beginning in the 1970s, and drawing upon the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Professor Lange has used fantasy fiction novels to illustrate his philosophy of “ethical naturalism”. From the 1980s onwards groups of people have translated the life described in this male adventure fantasy fiction into a real life sub-culture.

The novels describe a detailed system of slavery in which males are naturally Masters over women. The Gorean system is extracted from the novels. Goreans enact the slave system described in the novels. The system evokes a world of hunter/warriors – the noble barbarian – who, by virtue of his strength, is a Master over female slaves called “kajira”. The philosophy and ethics of the Gor system is Neitzchean – the refinement and nobility of power. A modern primitivism.

Gor is a beautiful system and it suits a certain temperament. There are many points on which it resembles Code d’ Odalisque. Both systems are male dom/ fem sub, for instance. But Code d’ O is a different system that draws upon different inspiration. The underlying philosophy might be described as “enlightened hedonism”, and it appeals to historical models from a later era. Gor takes its aesthetics from the European barbarian era. Code d’ O looks to the more sophisticated, urban slavery of the orient, up to and including the Ottoman Empire.

There is no quarrel or competition between Gor and Code d’ Ode. The systems appeal to different types of people. But it is useful to appreciate the differences between the systems. It helps to compare Gor and Code d’ Ode. The distinctive features of Code d’ Ode are better understood by comparing it to the Gorean system. Gor is tribal, primitivist, glorifying the ‘Order of Nature’ and offers an implicit critique of modern abstraction and alienation. Code d’ Ode is from a later phase of civilization. It is the slavery of the urban sophisticate, bourgeois decadence. This is why, for example, it takes the form of a quasi-legal codification. In this phase of history slavery is regulated to the life of the literate urban trader, a structured corporate world of contracts and rules. Gor is a system for the alpha male. Code d’ Ode is not rooted in such naturalism. It is a system – an indulgence - for educated, successful urban gentlemen.
