Gentlemanjohn9 -> Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 4:17:15 AM)

Code d’ Odalisque is an alternative genre of adult slave play for both casual role-players and people seeking a lifestyle. It is an alternative to the familiar whips-and-dungeons style of slave play common in BDSM scenes. It offers a non-violent style of consensual slavery not based in sado-masochism. It revives the institution of “odalisque” - the pleasure slave - and draws upon the sensual slave traditions of the Orient for its inspiration.

An odalisque is a female slave who is preserved from labour and toil in order to devote herself to sexual service. She is not a cook or cleaner, not a maid or houseslave. Instead, she serves her Master’s bed as a dedicated bedroom slave. The genre is maledom/femsub with an emphasis on sexual captivity. It can be played soft or hard according to taste.

The “Code” is a complete written system of manners, slavepositions and etiquette that sets out the rights and obligations of an odalisque. It was first compiled by contemporary couples who were dissatisfied with what the BDSM scene was offering. They wanted a sensual, non-violent erotic style of slavery for women who enjoy being used sexually but who aren’t into whips, wracks and grunge. There are no moralistic judgements involved in this preference - it is simply the case that lots of women who are into bondage and submission do not want play based in pain. Code d' OPde caters to their needs.

The writers of the “Code” have taken ideas from the traditional institution of “odalisque” and combined them with a sense of modern, hardcore sexuality. The “Code” offers a complete “quasi-legal” codification of the odalisque’s life with an emphasis on consent, safety and legality. It includes a comprehensive system of slavetraining.

Many people in the BDSM scene ridicule this genre as "vanilla" or mere "role playing" but it offers a valid alternative. Today there are couples throughout the world who have adopted Code d’ Ode as either an adult “game” or as a way of life. The Code and all supplementary information is offered free to any interested adult.

Just seems like a way of saying 'true' to justify choice to me



LadyPact -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 4:20:02 AM)

It wouldn't work for Me.  I like pain involved. 

Thank you for sharing.

grunge?

That's right - if you are into pain then Code d' Odalisque wouldn't be for you. But there are of course plenty of folks in the wider BDSM community who are not into pain as such but still enjoy bondage, cxaptivuty, submission etc, all themes explored in Code d' Odalisque. Even so, the idea is adaptable. But it offers another genre of Master/s;ave lifestyles which i think is good. Diversity.

Do you really enjoy placing your relationships into 'genre' like books or music?

Would you describe Gorean as a "genre"? It has its own message board here. It is, I guess, a distinct style. So too is Code d' Odalisque. A distinct lifestyle. Obviously, in practice, people bend styles or genres to suit the realities of human complexity. But there are still distinct styles. Gorean is one. Code d' Odalisque is one.

Fair enough.



Gentlemanjohn9 -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 4:46:20 AM)

Code d' Odalisque particularly appeals to the sexually submissive female whose submissive nature does not extend to sado-masochism. Just because she likes to be used sexually does not mean she likes to be subjected to pain and torture. And just because she likes to serve a man's bed does not mean she wants to labour like a beast of burden. There are plenty of such women around. Code d' Odalisque is designed for their needs. Its not for everyone - nothing is. I like the fact that it looks back to the models in the Ottoman era and it uses Victorian erotica evoking the old era of the odalisque slaves.



seababy -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 4:51:01 AM)

I don't get it.

At which stage do I get my bum smacked until its lit up like a little glowbug?

I don't see the point in learning a "complete written system of manners, slave positions and etiquette that sets out the rights and obligations of an odalisque" when if I choose to go into a relationship my Dom will be stating what he likes when he likes which will more than likely not resemble this code.

Is it like a martial art code? Do you have belts? Cause maybe Id be tempted then. I kind of fancy saying I have a black belt in odalisque submission.

Well, I tried to follow your link, but it's broken.

Much like the English class system.
Bugger that.



YoursMistress -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 6:32:32 AM)

Is this system only Male Dom-centric?  I'm just curious whether there is a place for male submissives as well.  Not that I'm volunteering, mind you.  I'm about as far from a pleasure slave as I can imagine, lol.  (yes, I am searching for it in another window as we speak.  Ditto on kttqnp's note on your link)

added: Found this link for those interested.  It seems to be more cock-centric.  Maybe I do fit in.  Lord knows I can get fixated on my own. [:D]

DesFIP -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 6:54:34 AM)

It's a lovely idea. But if that's all I do, then who cooks his dinner, researches stuff he needs to know, runs his errands? Either you need a harem of nonsex slaves or a lot of money to hire staff.



YoursMistress -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 7:00:40 AM)

I think the harem of non-sex slaves could fit into this system, each with her own tasks and responsibilities.  As long as they are all nekkid, I suppose it's ok. 

yours



DesFIP -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 7:02:06 AM)

I looked at the link you found. YM. But that bit about no love between them, sex only, just turns me off. I need it all.



SomethingCatchy -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 7:21:22 AM)

I don't understand the need to put a title to something... if you aren't into what the 'average BDSM scene' is doing, then just don't do it. Laid down guidelines, make them public for others you may be interested in to read, and there you go. There's no need to get all up in a fit and create some 'code'.

Unless that's your thing. I just tend to let people do whatever it is they want to do, regardless if I agree or not.



Tantriqu -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 7:44:20 AM)

Hardcore sexuality with a pleasure slave? It's the way I roll.

Just another name for The Empress and the slave, but ours is much better since there is affection and no pirates. Depending on the part of his body which is most beauteous [arms, chest, ass, legs] and after he has Prepared it for Me, he gets a tunic, loincloth or ;-) just jewelry, and he Serves Me physically, sensuously and sexually. Sweetmeats and sherbet. A massage with oils. Multiple orgasms. Then naps to replenish ourselves from sexual exhaustion. Then I clap My hands for entertainment! Some dance for Me, some sing, some play an instrument. Then all read to Me, and then because it's a giant turn-on, all get Taken.

Then it's Monday, and four more sleeps before we get to do it alllllll over again.

I'd love to have a bigger harem [?hisem?], but I've only had two twice (so far!): mm, mm, mmmm.

I think I'm going to hang some little bells and coins from the base of My strapon tonight to make some VERY odalisque sounds the next time I Take him . . .

If you hear us jingling, don't come a-ringing!

No disagreement there.  I just happen to like S/m as a part of My BDSM world.  Just because something doesn't work for Me doesn't mean it wouldn't work for others.

Oh, and the others are correct.  The link that was working last night (I did read the definition through the link) isn't connecting to the same page now.  Maybe you could come back to the thread and add it again.





FullCircle -> RE: Code d' Odalisque (8/21/2009 7:57:15 AM)

I don't accept that traditional BDSM activities need to involve pain as the sadistic element can show itself in many other ways such as humiliation and degradation. Therefore I don't see the need to cast all people into BDSM as into pain or to form a separate distinct code away from it to cater for those people with the wrong idea that BDSM has to involve pain.

Going further I'd say the code sounds like degradation i.e. degrading someone to the status of sexual servant.
