Raunch culture

The enormous proliferation of pornography on-line is both a symptom of and a creator of modern hardcore raunch culture. While there are still plenty of puritans in the world, the modern era is characterized by free sexual expression – the sexual revolution has unleashed an era of sexual exploration.

This has its problems, though. One of them is that many women now find themselves under pressure to participate in male sexual fantasies. Men who spend their time watching porn very often project porn scenarios upon their wives or girlfriends. They expect their women to perform like porn stars. This is an ugly side of raunch culture. Porn stars become the model of sexual normality and women feel pressured to do for their men what porn stars do in movies.

The problem here is that pornography tantalizes male fantasies, stirs male libido, but the one institution we have to cater to male sexual needs – marriage – is not made for sexual adventure. A wife is not a porn star, or a whore. The wife’s role does not properly include providing debauched sexual adventure for her husband. Traditionally, at least, a wife was mother, homemaker, companion. If a man wanted things his wife wouldn’t provide he went to a prostitute. Today, as well as mother, homemaker, companion, a wife is expected to be an expert at deep throating, anal sex, gangbangs and threesomes.

Odalisque slavery is an answer to this problem. An odalisque is a female sexual servant, a slave class devoted to serving male sexual fantasy. An odalisque is a woman who has voluntarily devoted herself to that role. It is a role she loves and for which she has aptitude. As an obedient servant she is willing to be an accomplice in the fantasies of the men who are put over her. That is the service that odalisques provide. A man keeps an odalisque as a means to sexual adventure. An odalisque is a sexual outlet – a woman dedicated to selfless sexual service.

As such, odalisque slavery serves a raunch culture. Code d’ Odalisque looks back to the sophisticated and sensuous traditions of oriental slavekeeping, but its purpose is to serve contemporary raunch culture and modern hardcore tastes. Modern hardcore lifestyle – a world saturated in pornographic images, a world of hedonistic sexuality unrestrained by the taboos of the past – needs to be serviced by the institution of odalisque. Odalisque slavery is an alternative institution to marriage and prostitution.

There are women who can provide men the indulgence of their pornographic fantasies – they find fulfillment in this. But such women are rare. Most wives are not in this category. It is unreasonable for men to expect their wife to be as wildly sexual as a porn star. That is beyond the proper duties of a wife. Such men need cockslaves. An odalisque is trained in the provision of hardcore sex. That is her vocation. That is her profession.

Code d’ Odalisque re-invents the institution of odalisque. An odalisque is a sexual servant owned, nurtured and enjoyed by a gentleman Slavekeeper. The Code provides for a culture in which Slavekeepers share their slave with other gentlemen and friends. The odalisque, though owned by one man – who takes responsibility for her welfare - is a communal outlet. Ideally, an odalisque will service a network of gentlemen. The Slavekeeper is benevolent and generous. He keeps his odalisque for sexual service, for himself and his friends.

Code d’ Odalisque is a social code. It proposes a revival of the odalisque institution. In a society in which odalisque slavery operates, gentlemen treat their wives as wives and they use odalisques – cockslaves - for their debauchery and fantasy life. That is what an odalisque is for.

It may happen, of course, that a wife might make a good odalisque in some instances, but the role of ‘wife’ and the role of ‘sex slave’ are quite different all the same, and should not be confused. A wife is not naturally a sex slave or a porn star. The institution of marriage has its limitations. Marriage does not serve the full range of human sexual needs. This is why there are prostitutes, and why the institution of odalisque is needed to offer another, safe, consensual dimension to contemporary erotic life.
