The Odalisque's life (repost)


During her time in occlusion an odalisque will not spend all of her time in active play. In fact, sex play would normally constitute only a small portion of an odalisque’s time - at least in “real time” Master/slave arrangements. At other times - when not serving sexually - she is a kept slave and enjoys a life of relative ease and luxury. Even if her Master demands her services every night, what does she do during her days?

The first answer to this is - she sleeps. An odalisque will normally sleep several hours more than a busy working person. She is the sort of woman who loves sleep and will sleep for ten or more hours. She lazes snug and naked in bed. She spends a lot of her time just lazing in her bed. On the whole, in fact, she is lazy. The true odalisque type is lazy and enjoys doing nothing. She lazes on the divan and elsewhere in the house, casually displaying her naked beauty as an ornament for her Master. She day-dreams or reads and enjoys her nakedness.

Apart from this life of gentle indolence, however, she must keep herself groomed according to her Master’s standards. Her hair, teeth, eyelashes, face, nails, skin, pussy... she must keep her body clean and well-maintained at all times. A certain amount of grooming is needed every day. It can take up a lot of an odalisque’s time. This includes showering and bathing, spas and saunas.

As well as this “toilette”, the slave must more generally look after her body by way of diet and exercise. An hour of yoga every day will keep her body supple and toned. She might be permitted to go swimming once or twice a week, or maybe her Master has a pool and she can swim daily? Or other suitable exercise. Her lazy and opulent lifestyle needs to be restrained by a regime of physical care and exercise in order to keep her body in an attractive and able state for her Master’s enjoyment.

A slave is also allowed her own entertainments in her apartment (odella) to occupy her time. This depends on what her Keeper provides but might include TV, radio, computer, internet, music. A slave in occlusion does not need excessive stimulation in this regard, but some provision for entertainment in an odella is the norm. Often live media - TV, radio, internet - are avoided because they bring too much “real world” into the slave’s isolation. Instead, the slave is given music CDs and DVD movies by her Master, and even then old music and old movies are preferred because they do not bring the current “real world” into the isolation of the odella.

A Keeper might also provide materials and support to encourage his slave to pursue a suitable pastime such as practising a musical instrument. Classical and feminine instruments - the violin or flute rather than the bass drum or tuba - are preferred. A cockslave need not neglect all her non-sexual talents while in occlusion. If she is a pianist and has practised every day since the age of seven, a Slavekeeper should provide her with a piano to continue with her music.

Finally, periods of occlusion can be punctuated with periods of “sojourn” when the slave goes back into the world like a freewoman. A slave might have a part-time job several days a week or might undertake study or have some other reason to spend days in sojourn. Her Master might let her walk to the public library once a week, or go walking in the park. Arrangements will entirely depend upon the needs of Master and slave. Some women have a greater capacity for isolation than others. Genuine odalisques love occlusion and thrive in captivity.

Needless to say, a Master may set his slave a routine of daily tasks to perform by way of slavetraining. This will usually include practise of the Code d’ Odalisque slave positions and commands and other finer points of etiquette. The slave will later be tested on these points and is expected to be elegant and well-drilled.

An odalisque (in contrast to lower slaves) can eat at table with her Master, and she must be given the same quality food as her Master. These are great privileges. She can spend time with her Master at table in conversation and enjoy food with him. There are other occasions when she has non-sexual interaction with her Master.

And an odalisque may also have an Overmistress who may visit or ring her on a regular basis. Indeed, a slave and Overmistress may conduct a close relationship independent of the Slavekeeper.

A generous Master will pay for his slave to receive such physical fine-tuning as Swedish massage and pedicure or similar, now and then. Or he might pay for her music lessons or French lessons. A Slavekeeper has an obligation to nurture his slave. Odalisque slavery is not about degrading and demoralising a woman - an odalisque is to be nurtured and refined.

All the same, there is no need to pamper her excessively and no need to render her more psychologically complex by developing sides of her personality that might conflict with or complicate her role as cockslave. A cockslave needs to be simple. Her isolation is a condition suited to developing MONOMANIA in a slave. Specifically, this monomania takes the form of a fixation upon phallic worship.

Code d’ Ode doesn’t resort to pain and torture and SM to reach into the deeper layers of the slave’s being, so instead Slavekeepers use psychological training methods. Isolation is one of them. During isolation, the mentality and desires of the slave - all her energies - can be redirected onto the single fixation - cock. The phallocentric slave. Phallic fixation is proper for a cockslave. A Slavekeeper will use the periods of the slave’s occlusion to channel her energies into a single focus - her obsession with cock. He can rightly fill her days with methods and exercises that are designed to imbue her with this monomania. This is the art of Slavetraining in Code d’ Ode - directing the slave’s beauty and grace and spirit and zeal and heat into a deep and genuine cockworship.

Under Code d’ Odalisque a Slavekeeper has an obligation not to let his cockslave go unused. He is urged to make use of her often. And it is in the spirit of the Code (subject to her contractual limits) for her Master to share her with other men (guests). Sexual generosity is a virtue in Slavekeepers. A man who is so fortunate as to own an odalisque has an ethical obligation to share her with others not as fortunate as himself - usually his selected close friends. Where a slave is consenting, a circle of gentlemen can form around an odalisque. She always remains the property of her Owner and Master, but she will happily serve her Master’s guests if that is his bidding. Where a slave is an orgophon and specialises in group play, it is essential that her Master forms a circle of other players around his odalisque.

So an odalisque can expect active service in her slavehood and will not usually be left in her odella for days on end without her services being required. Service to cock, in any case, is what she lives for. That’s why she is an odalisque. When she is not serving cock she is usually preparing herself to better serve cock by catching some beauty sleep, grooming herself, exercising, bathing, toning. Otherwise she lazes, or busies herself with a routine of activities that enhance and refine her. For a woman of the right temperament it is a rich and full lifestyle.
