Shunned forms of play

Code d’ Odalisque is a non-violent system of cockslave role play. It draws upon particular historical traditions and favors a particular sexual aesthetic. This is opulent, sensual, indulgent, decadent. Odalisque slavery, by its very nature, is sexual: it is a platform for sexual adventure. This is the whole reason a man would own an odalisque; in order to facilitate explorations of sexual fantasy and the uninhibited pursuit of transcending pleasures. It promotes an elegant debauchery, but debauchery all the same. No matter how it might be dressed up, and within whatever framework of manners and etiquette, the core activity in odalisque slave play is sex. Hardcore, decadent sex. In this, a Slavekeeper can resort to all manner of activities and deploy all manner of sex-aids and fantasy scenes being as decadently creative as he is able. The reason he has purchased an odalisque is to use her in his debauched indulgences.

The limits of this are set by their contractual arrangements, the limits specified by the slave in her Contract of Submission, and those set by the Code. An odalisque cannot be misused. She cannot be treated as a common whore, for instance. Neither is she a pain slave. She is protected from sado-masochism. More generally, certain types of play are avoided. The following types of BDSM play are not usually a feature of Code Culture:

• hard pain
• nipple-torture,
• whipping
• electroprodding,
• verbal abuse,
• degradation,
• public exhibitionism or humiliation,
• golden showers
• cross-dressing,
• extreme insertions,
• asphixiation-play,
• rape scenes,
• fisting,
• scat play,
• catfighting,
• whoreplay,
• slutplay
• french maid scenes
• dungeon scenes

or forms of extreme, reckless, dangerous or unusual play that is in any way at odds with the odalisque’s intrinsic role as a luxury pleasure slave and sexual servant. These shunned forms of play are those in which the odalisque would be treated as something less than an odalisque. The Code always works to create a context of fantasy and refinement and to prevent eroticism being confused with brutality. The slave is not a whipping bag. The slave is not an animal. The slave is not a toilet. And the slave is not a whore or a slut or a low slave (memlook) or a housemaid or worker. The Code always insists that an odalisque is treated as an odalisque, and that she is given due respect as an odalisque, and that this is a high and honorable calling. Accordingly, an odalisque should be treasured and protected from abuse. She should be enjoyed, by all means! But she is kept away from types of sexual play that are unbefitting.

Too much emphasis should not be placed upon such restrictions. The emphasis should be upon creative sex, not upon ‘Thou shalt nots’. The aim is not to stifle play. And there is always room for players to adapt Code d’ Ode to their own tastes. Some couples really enjoy golden showers, for example. Or spanking. In such cases the Code can be adapted as long as this is by consent and the character of the odalisque is preserved. By default, though, certain types of play – especially sado-masochism – are taboo. The odalisque should not be submitted to these types of play. She should be enjoyed at length, but not in these ways.
