Keeping an Odalisque

Keeping an odalisque: some basic preparatory points. These are some basic things to note if you are at the beginning of owning a cockslave. 

*You are Slavekeeper. Your odalisque is slave. Owning a slave is a responsibility and a privilege. A Keeper must keep his slave. You must feed, accommodate and look after your slave. 

*Your odalisque is a captive sex slave. You keep her as a captive. You do so in order to use her for your sexual enjoyment. 

*She cannot be used as a work slave. Her only task is sex. She does not cook or clean. As Keeper, you will need to organize cooking and cleaning both for yourself and for her. 

*Your slave is a secret captive. She is hidden from the world. She is kept in “occlusion”. Treat your slave as a secret. Keep your slave lifestyle a secret. 

*The slave is forbidden to leave the house without express permission. The Keeper should establish rules about this and about her behavior outside the house (sojourn). The less time the slave spends in sojourn the better. The more time she spends in occlusion the better. 

*You control your slave’s clothing. Her natural state is completely naked. She should be allowed appropriate garments but kept “essentially naked.” 

*Because your slave is kept naked or semi-naked you need to provide appropriate heating. 

*Your slave must have access to bath and shower (and spa, where possible). An odalisque should spend a lot of her time washing, relaxing, preening, preparing herself for the use of her Master. 

*Instruct your slave in your preferences regarding her presentation to you. Tell her how you want her to present herself. With her hair up or down? Her pubic hair trimmed or shaven? Etc. 

*The slave should wear an “attar” – that is, a distinctive perfume. Make sure she wears this perfume whenever she is in active service as odalisque. 

*Encourage a “service ethic” in the slave. She should be eager to serve and proud to do her job well. 

*Establish a routine for the slave. Her life should be restrictive and structured. She is a captive, not a freewoman. 

*The slave should be nurtured – this requires that she goes on sojourn for some things. Allow her to go for walks, or swimming, or to piano lessons, or yoga classes, or French lessons, or other activities outside the house, as arranged. The Slavekeeper must pay for these activities. 

*Your odalisque has her own room – her odella. It should be comfortable, heated, private. She spends most of her time as captive in her odella. 

*Adjust your slave’s sleeping so that she lives mostly at night. An odalisque is a creature of the night. Let her sleep until mid to late afternoon. 

*Ensure that all contracts and guidelines are in order before any play begins. Give proper attention to matters of consent, safety and legality. 

*Discuss contraception with your slave from the very beginning. There is a heavy responsibility upon a Slavekeeper to not let his odalisque fall pregnant. 

*Discuss the question of guests with your slave from the very beginning. The default position is that a Keeper may share his slave with other gentlemen. Does the slave agree with this? If so, under what conditions? 

*Teach the slave the basic slave positions. Construct slave play around the slave postures and commands. Let it be formal but not military-style. 

*A Slavekeeper should acquire a suitable sword as emblem of his authority over his slave. An odalisque lives “under the sword”. Where there is no sword a cane can be substituted as a makeshift sword. 

*Require the slave to say certain things in French. Start with using “oui” instead of “yes”. Control her speech. Set rules. 

*Use bondage and confinement (cages etc.) to instill a captive mentality into the slave. 

*Be clear in your own mind about how you want to use your slave. What do you want her to do sexually? How do you want to use her? Be creative.
