Strictly speaking, a slave owns nothing. Under the etiquette of Code d' Odalisque, therefore, an odalisque ought to avoid the use of the possessive parts of speech. She ought not refer to things as "mine" and should especially not refer to the Slavekeeper who is over her in this manner. It is not an absolute rule; she might use the possessive in some contexts but ordinarily she should try to find alternatives to the phrase "my Master". Of course, her Master is not "hers" - rather, she is an object and he owns her, not the other way around. It is a figure of speech to say "my Master" but if it can be avoided, it should. She can do this by avoiding the first person. She should avoid saying "I" and by extension "me" and "mine". A slave has no real right to such phrases. When she speaks to her Master she should say, "Your slave is happy to serve you, Keeper" rather than "I am happy to serve you, Keeper." She might say, "The Master of this slave" rather than "my Master". Much depends upon context, but avoiding the possessive forms of speech and shunning the first person are conductive to good mental discipline in a slave and helps to shape her slave-heart.
This is true of all slaves, memlooks and odalisques. By definition, slaves are stripped of both identity and possessions. An odalisque, however, is given the privilege of being able to refer to herself by the French word "moi" (pronounced mwaa) - me.This concession is largely to enable her speech to be attractive. In order to avoid the possessive and first person, speech can sometimes become clumsy. Instead, here the odalisque can use the French. "The Master of moi." "Moi is sleepy." Only odalisques among slaves can use this form. It is part of the way the speech of an odalisque, under the etiquette of Code d' Odalisque, is peppered with French words and phrases. This is one of the most important instances of it. When she refers to herself, instead of saying "me" she can revert to the French and call herself "moi". It is characteristic of odalisques; they refer to themselves as "moi".
All of this is set out in the etiquette and manners sections of Code d' Odalisque. The Code provides a detailed system regulating the speech of odalisques.

The end of the discalcing ritual?
Question: What happens at the end of the discalcing ritual? In the published version it says that it must be a memorable experience - a gangbang. Is that always the case? Is it for the pleasure of the slave or the Master? Can you explain what is supposed to happen at the end of the ritual?
The published ritual is one example of a discalcing ritual. Discalcing is the name of the ritual by which a freewoman becomes an odalisque. The slave surrenders her shoes in a symbolic gesture - odalisques are barefoot (discalced). When the formalities of consent, vows and other spoken parts are completed, the example ritual concludes with an orgiastic initiation of the slave into her new life. It reads:
At this point all the men undress and may freely enjoy the slave as they desire (subject to the restraints of her Contract of Submission). At a discalcing the slave should be fucked vigorously - gangbanged. It is her initiation into erotic slavery. It should be made an occasion she doesn't forget.
(h) The woman shall be led naked and barefoot into occlusion (captivity).

It is not essential. The actual requirements given in the Code itself are more broad. Article 4.8 (h) simply reads:
And, in any case, please note the proviso: (subject to the restraints of her Contract of Submission).If, for example, the woman has become a slave to only serve her Master and she does not want to be shared, then a "gangbang" would violate her Contract and be out of the question.
A discalcing is essentially a ritual stripping. The steps are: the woman consents to becoming a slave, she is stripped, then she is led into occlusion. It is not essential to end the ritual with an orgy, a "gangbang" or any other sex. It is, however, entirely appropriate to do so if one so wishes (and if it does not violate the slave's limits). It makes sense that since the woman is being initiated into sexual slavery she should at this point be initiated into what sexual slavery is all about. It should be a memorable event for the slave. It is not every day a woman commits herself to a life of sexual service.
The discalcing ritual is a matter for personal creativity. The published ritual is only a guide.

On cockworship
The term "cockworship" has a wider meaning than this in Code d' Odalisque. By all means, odalisques are encouraged to be expert in sucking cock in the way described above, but that is not the only act of "cockworship" for an odalisque. More generally, an odalisque is sworn to cockworship as a state of mind and as an attitude. She is expected to have a love for cock and to have an urge to devote herself to pleasuring cock. It is her obsession. There is nothing she loves more. She loves it so much, in fact, that she has devoted herself - her body - to cock. She makes herself into an object to be used for phallic pleasure. Code d' Odalisque is an exploration of this obsession. Obsession and monomania are among its themes.
In particular, for an odalisque cock is the object of worship, not the man to whom it is attached. Man is her master. Cock is her god. In a lot of Dom/sub play and consensual slavery the female sub become obsessed with the person of her Master. She becomes fixated upon him. In some cases, Masters expect to be worshipped like gods and want their slaves to be willing devotees. All of that is about power. Code d' Ode, on the other hand, is focused on pleasure, not power. Slaves are not expected to regard Masters as gods. Code d' Ode is a phallic thraldom. The slave obeys her Master and respects her Master, and may even love her Master, but cock is her god. She wants nothing more than for her Master to give her cock to serve. She loves him because he supervises her devotion to cock. Cock is her thing. He facilitates it.
For a woman to have aptitude for the odalisque's life, then, a woman must above all be cockloving. Some women even where they are sex loving are not necessarily cock-loving. Some women just love men, but not necessarily cock. Lots of fem subs are in this category. What they love about men is their power and strength; virility is a function of this. But some women are actually smitten by cock. They love the phallus. They may not even be especially fond of men socially and otherwise, but they love cock. They think cocks are beautiful. They love pleasuring them. They love being pleasured by them. They love fucking them. They love sucking them. They love everything about them. This is the type of woman who would be well-adapted to the odalisque role.
It is an ancient obsession. Phallic worship goes back to the neolithic age. But always, of course, the phallus is a symbol of greater things than the six to seven inches of swollen flesh that constitute the male organ. Often, of course, what is symbolized is fertility. The phallus is an ancient fertility symbol and that is the basis of a lot of phallic worship in history. This is not the odalisque's motivation. She is interested in the phallus as a symbol of bliss, rapture, pleasure. She loves cock because there is nothing on earth than can shake her reality like the virile orgasmic power of a cock. It represents concentrated pleasure. It is the god of transformations. Cock makes her tremble. Cock makes her swoon. Cock gives her a taste of heaven. It is the virile potency she worships, not its fecundity.
There are numerous practices in Code d' Odalisque that have cockworship as their intent. For example, there are various methods and modes of begging for cock that can form part of slave play. They are all designed to enhance and develop the woman's natural love for cock and to nurture it into a form of dedicated devotion. That devotion, ideally, should be as deep as religious emotions - thus it is called cockworship. A cockslave is for cockworship. Code d' Odalisque is specifically phallic. Odalisque slkavery is, in the end, a vehicle for phallic worship.

Grading vulva
Undoubtedly, one of the most salubrious aspects of assessing and grading an odalisque is the inspection of her vulva. Grading includes an assessment of her teeth, skin and other attributes, but it also includes an aesthetic estimation of her genitalia. Accordingly, the grader must make a careful inspection of the slave’s pussy.
The vulva is assessed on a scale of one to nine (1-9). There are defined types, as set out in the Code. The types are usually grouped into four distinct categories:
1. Concave (1-2)
2. Flat (3-4)
3. Arched (5-6-7)
4. Extended (8-9)
What we are after and regard as the ideal is a well-defined and gracefully attractive “arched” type.
This is usually determined by viewing the vulva from the side in profile. The grader should ask the woman to stand side-on. Then ask her to move her near leg back slightly. The mool can then be viewed from the side. The grader should do this from both sides, both views, as well as inspecting the vulva from other angles. It is best if the women is smooth shaven for this. It can also be helpful to change the lighting in order to see the slave in silhouette.
Ideally, looking side-on, there is a gentle, well-defined crescent moon shape made by the lower belly, the vulva and the perineum. The vulva does not protrude out too far, and nor is the vaginal entry sunken and hidden.
To some extent, this is an assessment of the size of the vulva. Are the cunt lips too big or too small, or in between? The protruding vulva is usually because the lips are too large, too flabby or swollen, chubby. The concave shape is usually because the vulva is small, thin. In some cases, the vulva are best described as “flat”. But it is not only size. It is also a question of shape, form, volume. Some allowance needs to be made for ethnic differences – Asian women are likely to have smaller lips, for example – but the range of types is universal.
We are interested in this line (marked in black) in the female form. It is a crescent shaped arch that extends from the lower belly to the perineum. How well-shaped is this line in any given specimen? Men who are grading slaves should look at this line in the subject's anatomy.
Universally, too, there is a lot of variation between women. These days more and more women are having cosmetic surgery to correct what they see as imperfections. Different gentlemen might have differing tastes in this sort of matter too. All the same, the ideal shape in Code d’ Odalisque conforms to popular preferences, i.e. neither too big nor too small, neither protruding nor sunken. We are not imposing an unusual standard. The ideal is a steady line, a gentle arch, a visually attractive form.
This is necessarily a subjective aspect of slave grading, but the grader should try to be as objective as possible. After inspection – guided by the four groupings – he gives the specimen a score on the 1-9 scale. Is the mool shapeless? Are the lips lacking in contour and definition? Or are they extended or even pendulous, over full? Finally, it is a judgment about the woman’s entire genitalia – obviously an important attribute for a sexual slave.
A vulva that deviates wide of the ideal should not be regarded as a fatal flaw, however. It is merely one factor in the assessment, and compared to other things it is, in the end, not a defining matter. On the contrary, too, a vulva that deviates from the ideal is still a thing of beauty. Here is an example:
This vulva would be graded 8 or 9 on our scale, classified as "extended", but no one is saying it is unattractive. The Code sets a standard and it is used for grading purposes but in the end pussy is pussy and the red-blooded hetero Slavekeeper has a natural love for them all.
Lucile - a case study
This is the story of a young woman of our acquaintance. Let's call her "Lucile". She is an attractive dark-haired woman, slim, pretty, small-breasted, chocolate eyes. Her father was an academic professor and so she came from a well-to-do home, had a standard, stable middle-class upbringing. Several older siblings.
A restless spirit, however, she left school early (just before her seventeenth birthday) and left home to live with her uncle who owned a hobby farm and was pursuing an alternative lifestyle in the sub-tropics. She lived on welfare initially but then worked occasional rural jobs such as fruit picking. She became a vegetarian and learnt guitar. Retro-hippy.
After that she became involved in a travelling street-theatre group populated by a range of feral but creative misfits. Sexual promiscuity was the norm in that group, and so it was at this stage that she became fully active sexually. She slept with a lot of boys - and some girls - and became engaged in theatre plays involving nudity and exploring sexual themes. The troupe specialised in alternative and slightly BDSM ritual theatre.
These connections led her to find a place in an inner city shared house where she became best friends with a young woman who worked as a burlesque dancer. Through her, Lucile eventually started a career as a dancer, making most of her money as a stripper. Moving around among various clubs, she soon came in contact with a man named John who acted as an agent for pole dancers and strippers, and soon after that began a sexual relationship with him. This was her first serious relationship.
It lasted just under a year. He was much older than her and turned out to be both emotionally cruel and manipulative. She wasn't mistreated physically, but John siphoned her wages away from her and she found that she was working more for him than for herself. He also pressured her to try prostitution, but she resisted this.
All the same, she did sleep with various men as a way of advancing her career and getting work. At the age of twenty, she could reasonably be described as a very nubile young woman, attractive and very sexy, and men were eager to sleep with her. At one stage she decided to return to study in order to get some qualifications, but John obstructed this and wanted her to do more dancing instead. This strained their relationship and eventually she fell in with another older dominant man, Steven, a former soldier. He removed her from the stripper scene, but he was possessive and egomaniacal. He wanted her to be entirely focused upon him. Submissive by nature, she began a dominant/submissive relationship as the passive partner over another eighteen months.
Steven was also into S & M. He had a particular thing for torturing women's breasts. He liked to apply nipple clamps, tight bondage, air suction or just pins to Lucile's breasts. She didn't enjoy this at all, and was scarred by it, but while it turned her off, it was wildly exciting to him. She spent most of the eighteen months she remained with him trying to find a way to get away from him. When she finally left him, he stalked her and her father intervened to get rid of him.
After this, she spent some time unemployed before getting work as a model. It was through modelling that she met "Richard", a mature intelligent gentleman who would employ attractive young female models for his own personal photography shoots. It was Richard who introduced her to Code d' Odalisque, sharing a copy of the Code with her. Richard was an artistic and sophisticated bohemian type. She spent a lot of time with him (always Platonic) listening to his ideas and reading his books. He thought she might be interested in Code d' Odalisque. She read the Code and was attracted to the idea straightaway.
Shortly after this, Richard asked her if she was serious in this. She said she was, and so he introduced her to a friend, Jeff, who was also interested in odalisque slave play. Jeff was 45+ yo, athletic type and owned a boating and yachting small business. He was divorced, no children. Loaded. Lucile met him over dinner one night and quite liked him. Not a genius, but handsome and warm. They negotiated the prospects of a contractual arrangement. He also had a business partner, Des, who was involved. (They had done similar things before, Jeff and Des.)
At length, Lucile - then nearly 23yo - consented to live as odalisque to Jeff for an agreed period of a year. Lucile saw this as an opportunity to re-orientate her life and to catch up on education. She enrolled in a diploma by correspondence (which pleased her father.) Jeff owned a large, modern home on the riverfront and dedicated two adjoining rooms and a bath and spa to be Lucile's quarters (with a sweeping view over the river.)
They adopted the protocols and slave positions of Code d' Odalisque - Lucile became her Keeper's dedicated cockslave, being kept barefoot and (mostly) naked for his sexual use. From time to time he would lend her to Des as a "Guestmaster". He and Des used her and enjoyed her. She found that she enjoyed the role and adapted naturally to it. She liked the leisure. She like being naked. She liked the house. Her Keeper was nice and above all she thoroughly enjoyed the sex. It was fun. It was fun being used in men's fantasies in a safe environment. All the while she remained friends with Richard and modelled for him. He had become important to her. She felt he was looking out for her.
Apart from the sex, her Master (Jeff) also taught her many things. A yachting man, he liked to keep a tight ship. Her upbringing had been liberal. She had always been undisciplined. Jeff demanded good grooming, punctuality, no round shoulders, clean fingernails, no smoking. He imposed structure upon his slave. It was also an experience in which she came to understand much more about men's sexuality. His athleticism was sexual; he made lots of use of her.
All of this was several years ago now. Since then Lucile has met a man and got married and works in the aged care industry. we like to think she was a successful case where Code d' Odalisque was useful to a young woman in the course of her life. Being an odalisque gave Lucile some stability and time out in life after getting off to a reckless start. This might seem a strange claim to make: being a sexual slave gave someone stability in life, but it is true. For over a year Lucile lived in the stability of Jeff's home by the river, rarely going out, and did her studies, and served her Master's bed (and often that of her Master's friend Des as well.) It was like all the fun of promiscuity without it being self-destructive. It was a settled, predictable life, with fringe benefits. Her family never knew she was living as an odalisque, but they were happy that she had found some stability and had moved on from hippy street theatre types and sadistic Iraq War veterans.
