The Written Code

The written Code d' Odalisque is a comprehensive document divided into short articles in a quasi-legal manner. It is clear that the Code began as a series of separate documents that have since been consolidated and revised. The editing process is still patchy and incomplete.

The Code begins with some preliminary descriptions of slave play and is then divided into parts under the following headings: General, The Odalisque, Principles of Contract, Discalcing, Contract of Submission, Assessment and Grading, The Plea for Mercy, Alms, The Master/Slave bond, The Nature of the Odalisque, The Rights and Duties of the Slavekeeper, Types of Play, Guests, The Odella, Training, The Slavetrainer, Positions, Gestures and Commands, Ordeals, Punishment, Sojourn, Overmistress, Qoola, Hareems, Etiquette and Decorum, Conduct during Orgia, Speech and Discourse, Written Etiquette, Auctions, Masques, Safe Words and End Game, Sub Rosa.

The Code serves many purposes. It contains a system of contract, a complete code of etiquette, a charter of rights and responsibilities, a system of grading and various devices to ensure safe, legal and consensual play. It is a voluntary Code founded upon the free consent of adults.

The fifth edition of the Code runs to over 50,000 words in length – the size of a small book. There is also a large body of supplementary material in the form of short essays and FAQs sheets to assist interested players. When collected together the supplementary material often goes under the title, 'The Code Companion'.

There are several versions of the Code in circulation. The third edition was widely distributed. A fourth edition seems to have never appeared. Instead, revisions went directly to a fifth edition which has been made available as a MSWord document, a PDF file and in a HTML format. It is not for sale but is distributed free of charge via the internet and shared among practitioners.
