Drugs?

What does the Code say about recreational drugs, and also the use of drugs like sedatives?

It is a fact that many people use drugs – including alcohol - to enhance sex. This has probably been the case in one form or another for thousands of years. Code d’ Odalisque accommodates this fact. A typical form of play is the “wine night” – an occasion for imbibing and hedonistic enjoyment. “Wine”, under the Code, is a generic term and means the Slavekeeper’s drink or drug of choice. The Code states that, according to tradition, absinthe and hashish are the inebriants most appropriate to odalisque slave play.

In principle, and in practice, then, Code d’ Odalisque accepts the use of recreational drugs as part of slave play. Code d’ Ode is guided by a hedonistic philosophy: in his quest for pleasure a Slavekeeper may use alcohol, or other substances, to reduce inhibition and enhance and extend his erotic indulgences. A Slavekeeper should be creative in this pursuit – consciousness-changing substances of various types may be part of that creativity. This is up to the Slavekeeper. The “wine” is his drink or drug of choice. The “wine” is his indulgence.

Similarly, in principle under the Code inebriants and other drugs can be administered to a slave both for the purposes of subduing her, making her easier to use and enjoy, and for the purposes of training, as required.

This must be placed within the restraints set in the Code, however. Foremost are considerations of consent. It is a violation of the Code – and indeed a crime under law – to drug someone without their consent. Secondly, there are issues of health and safety. The welfare of a slave is a top priority at all times. The Code also insists that an odalisque should not be drawn into or used in illegal activities. Her Keeper should never involve her in crimes. Obviously, prohibited substances incur penalty under law. An odalisque should not be exposed to this. The Code permits (and encourages) indulgence, but within the parameters of consent, safety and legality.
