Bonded Service

Odalisque slavery is an application of bonded service. A whore is for hire but a slave is for sale. The odalisque is a woman who sells her sexuality to a man - her owner and Keeper - and is bonded to him for continuous use, not at a rate per hour. In many respects the whore and the odalisque are similar. Both are women who regard the sexual service of men as their occupation, or even as their vocation in life. Both are women who decide that sex is preferable to other forms of work.

But they go about their business in very different ways. The whore rents her body out by the hour. The odalisque serves one man. He has free use of her at all times and she is bound to obey him and serve him sexually. But he has a responsibility to her. Her preserves her from toil. An odalisque is a precious thing. It is a travesty to see her working in a factory or in meaningless jobs where her beauty and eroticism is wasted. A Slavekeeper protects an odalisque from the savageries of the labour market. She is neither maid nor cook. And neither is she expected to go out to work. She is kept. Kept for sex.

The advantage of bonded service is that the slave is within the protective, continuous care of a Keeper who is charged with the responsibility of putting her welfare first at all times. The whore has to fend for herself, or she is subject to a pimp. Pimping is forbidden in Code d' Odalisque. An odalisque cannot be rented out. But her Keeper has free use of her. He can exercise his imagination and use her as a fuckpuppet in his fantasies. Usually, in Code d' Ode, this will include sharing her with others.

In some ways odalisque slavery counters whoredom. An odalisque is a bonded sex worker. She serves under a Keeper. Her task - like the task of a whore - is to provide an (often extra-marital) sexual service to gentlemen. Her Master keeps her, feeds her, pays her bills. She lives a life of leisure and never dirties her hands. She is devoted exclusively to the erotic arts.
