MODELS OF MASCULINITY

The female slave in Code D' Ode is an exclusive cockslave. She is in this respect different than femslaves in other genres or systems of consensual slavery. Much consensual slavery is based on the "A Dog is a Man's best friend" ethos. The slave is a well-trained animal. The slavemaster is like a dog owner. He trains his dog. A good dog will sit obediently at his feet and sleep on her mat in the corner.

The Master/slave relationship is different in Code D' Ode. The genre is based upon different historical models. The cockslave is the trade of a wealthy, urbane and genteel culture.

Consequently, the model of masculinity in Code D' Ode is different. It is a genre of slavery that is adapted to a different or wider range of men than other contemporary genres.

In early historical models the fact that a man commands a slave is sign of his virility. It means he has captured a slave. She is a testimony to his hunting skills. She is a prize to the succesful Hunter/Gatherer. Or she is a sign of his natural superiority. He commands her because he is man enough to do so.

But in advanced slavekeeping cultures the keeping of a slave merely becomes a sign of wealth. A man owns a cockslave because he can afford one. The slave becomes an emblem of social and economic status, not of virility and authority.

This is the case in the modern world. The modern man keeps a cockslave as a luxury item. The modern slavekeeper is the succesful urban man who can afford to keep and enjoy a cockslave.

This means there is not real, fixed "Master" type. In the contemporary scene one encounters a lot of discussion about "true Masters" - men with a "Master's" psychology. This is less of an issue in Code D' Ode. There is no "true Master" type, although there are obviously some men who will handle use of a cockslave better than others.

In general, though, Code D' Ode does not promote a fixed, defined type of masculinity. But it does promote two things as "norms":

1. The sexual dominance of man over woman.
2. Heterosexuality

The Slavemaster in Code D' Ode is at least man enough to accept the conventional Male/Female roles without wincing with political correctness. He knows how to be boss. Sensitive New age Guys are excluded on these grounds.

And Slavemasters in Code D' Ode are red-blooded cunt-struck heterosexuals and make no apology about it. Gay slavery is fine, but why should gays have all the fun?

Different Masculine Cultures

Old Guard

The so-called "Old Guard" style of contemporary slavery is adapted to the military man. It is for the male Dom who likes to give orders and live within a chain of command. (A lot of gay M/s relationships follow this genre.)

Gorean

The so-called Gorean genre of contemporary slavery is adapted to the rugged pioneering type. It is for the alpha-male hunter/gatherer. It is strictly heterosexual and tends to celebrates testosterone-laden masculinity.

Code D' Ode

This genre is more suited to the contemporary urban male, not the Soldier or the Hunter but the CEO, the corporate He-man, the succesful business pirate, the corporate raider, the robber-barons of Walls St. Secure in his wealth, he can search for new pleasures.
