'''Code d' Odalisque''' is a genre or style of ''non-violent'' consensual slave play engaged in by willing adult men and women. It is a modern revival of aspects of the historical institution of '[[odalisque]]' (female sexual servant) in a consensual form. Play is guided by a written code of rules, etiquette and protocols. The genre or style is an alternative sub-culture within the broader [[BDSM]] community; play includes aspects of bondage and discipline, dominance and submission but not sado-masochism. The use of pain and degradation is forbidden under the Code. The values of the Code are hedonistic and pleasure-oriented combining exotic elements from Turkish/Persian erotic culture with modern, Western hardcore tastes. The structure of play is based upon the relationship between a male Slavekeeper and a female slave. Play is essentially [[heterosexual]] in character.

Guardianship of the Code, along with copyright, belongs to an organisation of Slavekeepers called 'The Guild of the Black Pearl' which consists of a small inner circle of Code d' Ode enthusiasts headed by Mr Charles Molyneux who is listed as the current Guild Syndic.
'''2. The Code'''
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
The fifth edition of the Code runs to over 50,000 words in length – the size of a small book. There is also a large body of supplementary material in the form of short essays and FAQs sheets to assist interested players. When collected together the supplementary material often goes under the title, 'The Code Companion'.
'''3. Versions'''
There are several versions of the Code in circulation. The third edition was widely distributed. A fourth edition seems to have never appeared. Instead, revisions went directly to a fifth edition which has been made available as a MSWord document, a PDF file and in a HTML format. It is not for sale but is distributed free of charge via the internet and shared among practitioners.
'''4. Non-violent'''
Code d' Odalisque was developed by people interested in Master/slave relationships but who were not interested in the sado-masochistic elements common in the [[BDSM]] world. The Code provides for sexual submission and explores such themes as bondage, restraint and obedience but without such elements as spanking, whipping, nipple torture, hot wax etc. The premiss of this system of Master/slave play is that there are many women who are, by nature, sexually submissive and who enjoy being used sexually and enjoy sexual obedience, but who do not want to be subject to the more violent aspects of [[BDSM]] culture. Non-violent sexual submission is the cornerstone of Code d' Odalisque and is the main reason that people are attracted to it. Sexually submissive women very often fall into violent or abusive relationships. The Code is designed to protect sexually submissive women from this and to offer them an alternative to sado-masochistic relationships. The Code promotes a culture of respect, chivalry and elegance in which the female slave (odalisque) is regarded as a rare treasure to be cherished, protected and nurtured. Although the Code is male dom/fem sub it is strongly pro-feminine.
'''5. The Odalisque'''
Line 77 ⟶ 82:
The Code draws careful boundaries between an odalisque, a whore and a slut. An odalisque is not a whore who sells her sex nor a slut who sleeps around as a free agent. Many aspects of the Code are constructed upon these distinctions. A Slavekeeper cannot treat his odalisque as a whore or a slut.
