Speech in training

In slavetraining, control of the slave's speech is a powerful means of taking control of her wider behavior. Speech is connected with a wide dimension of our thinking, our being. Speech is a pathway into the mind. Code d' Odalisque includes sections on the control of the slave's speech. The training of a slave involves taking control of, and reprogramming, her speech.

When it comes to remaking a slave's speech, it is especially advisable to move slowly and one step at a time. The best strategy is to wipe the slate clean and to start with silence. Step one. No speaking. Then you allow the slave to say only one thing - "I love cock!" Then, having established that platform, you can slowly introduce her to appropriate slave discourse.

A Trainer should concentrate on the following points first:

26.7. - A slave speaks with respect

An odalisque shall speak to all men and all freewomen with utmost respect at all times.

26.8. - Silence a virtue in a cockslave.

Silence is a virtue in a slave. An odalisque shall hold her tongue except where she is spoken to or where she must speak in the circumstances. She shall not speak unnecessarily or engage in idle gossip, backbiting or provoke or engage in trivial or malicious conversations.

26.9. - A slave's tone of voice

An odalisque shall speak in a quiet or a hushed tone unless otherwise directed for the purposes of play by her Keeper. The proper tone is lower than normal conversational speech but louder than a whisper. She shall speak clearly and not mumble.

26.10. - A slave's speech restrained

It is proper for an odalisque to be reticent, quiet and modest unless directed to be lewd and forward by her Keeper. When she must speak she is brief and restrained.

Take control of HOW the slave speaks as well as taking control of WHAT she says. What she says should be reduced to a minimum. All her speaking should be curtailed. When she speaks, she speaks as a slave.

Just like solitary confinement, the imposition of periods of TOTAL SILENCE when the slave is strictly forbidden from speaking are quite effective in placing her in a dependent and submissive position. So too is restricting her to only one word or phrase such as "I love cock!" Then that can be refined to "Your slave loves cock" as the slave learns to eradicate the personal possessive parts of her speech. Slowly with this.

The French parts of speech that are included in Code d' Ode can be a later addition unless the slave has a natural feeling for French. All the same, they are not just idle ornaments to the game. If the slave is taught to speak with French elements throughout her sentences this has a useful psychological effect. It means her mind is engaged in "catching up" because French will not come as smoothly to her as her native tongue. It is useful to "tie up" the slave's mind in this way. Another way of explaining this is to say that using the French elements in speech is like putting her leg in a splint. It acts as a device of mental restriction.
