Attire - nakedness

In the Gorean genre of slavery there is a complete attire that goes with the fantasy. There are specified slavegirl costumes. There are even Gorean foods and table manners. Gorean offers a complete lifestyle.

Code D' Odalisque is a different genre of erotic slavery. Gorean replicates aspects of the pre-Christian European barbarian slavekeeping culture (when men were real men and women were real women). It replicates pagan slavekeeping. It is a beautiful and noble lifestyle, but the author of the Gorean novels, John Norman, has obviously drawn upon features of ancient Ostrogothic and Celtic culture. In the Gorean genre, women are essentially kept as animals. Gorean training is animal training. A slave is like a loyal dog.

Code D' Odalisque draws upon different historical models. It draws upon the luxuriant and sensuous slavekeeping cultures of the ancient and medieval Near East. In these cultures you find the dedicated cockslave, the odalisque. Rather than a common dog, the cockslave is like a rare and exotic pet.

Since she is dedicated to sex the odalisque is essentially naked. She does not need to wear clothing. Clothing is to protect the body while working. The odalisque does not work. She fucks.

Nor is she dressed like a slut or a whore. She does not need to advertise. Sluts and whores dress as they do to attract male attention and to advertise their goods. But an odalisque has a Master and so does not need to spruik her wares.

So she is naked and barefooted - dressed for her purpose - which is to provide her Master with the visual delights of the female form and to be a willing agent in his sexual dreams.

In classical depictions of odalisques they are almost always naked, or they half-clothe themselves with a simple cloth wrap, or - more often - with a see-through wrap or veil.

The attire of the odalisque is always supplementary to her nakedness. She is never really clothed. Veils, wraps, shawls only serve to obscure her nakedness, but she remains naked.

The attire of an odalisque ORNAMENTS her nakedness without covering it. Typically, she wears jewellery without clothing. She wears decorative bands, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, ankle bracelets, but no garments - or very slight garments that do not really cover her.

What clothes and ornaments a slave wears is at the direction of her Master. He will of course allow her to a shawl to keep herself warm, as necessary. But he should respect the fact that she is an odalisque, and respect her nakedness and not dress her as a worker or maid or a prostitute, things she is not.

So, unlike Gorean slaveplay - where a slavegirl has a specific attire - the odalisque is essentially without garments because her business is sex. She doesn't need to protect her body like a worker and she doesn't need to advertise and attract attention like a whore or slut. It is especially important not to confuse an odalisque with a slut or a whore.

Nudity and nakedness are important to the institution of odalisque. Her nakedness is one of the things that distinguishes an odalisque from lower slaves. Her nakedness is her essence. In the odalisque's life a woman will spend much of her time laying around naked, being naked. She should enjoy her nakedness and display it to her Keeper.

CONSIDER THIS:

Why do human beings have less body hair than other primates? And why do women have less body hair than men?

The answer to this is that the human body has evolved away from hairiness in order to make the human skin more sensitive. This makes human beings more sexual and erotic creatures than other primates. The whole skin has become an erotic organ. This is not the case in lower primates - their skin is far less sensitive and is covered in hair.

When human beings have sex the body-to-body and skin-to-skin contact is erotic in itself. This is not the case in lower primates. Their sexuality is localised to their genitals. In human beings the sexual response is distributed throughout the body. The whole skin is an erotic zone.

So, human beings have greater physical erogeneity than other primates and, by extension, human females are more erotic in this sense than human males. The female body has evolved into a complete, hairless errogenous zone by comparison with apes and men.

This is why the odalisque is naked. The institution of the odalisque acknowledges and celebrates this turn of events in human evolution. It celebrates woman as the ultimate sexual creature of nature.
