Sex Temple
Sex & Bondage Temple of Seris
The sex temple is a fairly new idea, but is based heavily off of what I was working on, for Ryksyll at one time.
Cult Information
Beliefs
An obscure myth involving the Goddess Seris and her future love the God Naluk, involves her seducing him with various forms. One of the forms that is left out of the main beliefs of Seris is that she appeared to him as a sex slave, and offered herself to him. This is often left out for political reasons by the main religion because it has gone more mainstream, the ceremonies and rites focusing mainly on her aspects as the goddess of marriage, love and prosperity. Leaving the other more explicit aspects out of the religion, those of sex in all forms. The cult that has been absorbed by the world beast that makes up Manifold focuses on sex, bondage and sexual slavery, taking the one repressed myth as the foundations of its cult. The cult has changed since they were absorbed by the world beast. Going to more extremes, where they take the myth of Seris's form to seduce Naluk on face value. All the priestesses are slaves, and all the males who join the sect have to be warriors. They believe that they have to show this relationship to worship correctly. But they always do it in secret, for fear of being repressed by the main religion of Seris.
Hierarchy
Novice
The novices serve in the least capacity in temple. Doing all the menial work, and are often punished for the littlest thing. Effectively they are slaves to the other members of the temple. They wear Leather cuffs. They wear leather cuffs, one set around the ankles, and one set around the wrists, and a heavy leather collar around their necks, each is locked on with a heavy padlock and has three D-rings, though the padlock means nothing since the leather is magically sealed in place. They wear a combo ring/phallic gag on a training harness, and can only remove it when a priestess allows it, it too is magical. They own nothing else. Unlike the rest of the servants of the temple they are not allowed to shave their pubic hair.
Because they own nothing, they don't need any personal space to store it. So if the novices have been good they sleep in the novice area, which is a cell that can hold up to 20 girls, with a thickly padded floor. The rooms are only about 10' x 10', with a second smaller area set aside with a low padded wall, making it impossible to avoid touching another novice as they sleep. When they are in the smaller area cell the magic of their gags allows them to remove the phallic plug, so they can drink from the bowl on the ground that is filled with water and kept magically clean. They can also go to the bathroom, though the facilities are not very good, consisting of a dildo with water pouring gently out the tip and a drain. there is also an area with a shower section for cleaning. There are some things that the girls can play with, single links of chains that can be magically joined together or to the D-rings they wear on their cuffs and collar, and dildos around the room.
If the girls haven't been good which is often the case they are always punished. Punishments always include bondage and sex of some sort, often they include other items like S&M toys.
Junior Acolyte
Silver Cuffs. 2 Sets around the ankles, and wrists. No robe is allowed. Wears a gag on a training harness in their mouth. Their choice of gag while they are serving at the temple and sleeping. Only when their duties allow are they allowed to remove the gag, though they can't do so themselves.
Becoming an acolyte means that the woman needs to shave her pubic area, making her a slave to the goddess.
Senior Acolyte
Silver Cuffs. 3 Sets around the ankles, elbows, and wrists. Silver chain on the robes. Wears a gag on a training harness in their mouth. They have the magic to remove the gag if they choose, but it is shown as a mark of discipline if they keep it on as much as possible. They also have the authority to order around the acolytes and novices, but not remove their gags or restraints.
When a girl becomes a Senior acolyte she is allowed to wear the robes showing that she worships Seris. The robes for all the priestesses are the same. Consisting of cloth of some sort, cotton, flax, hemp, gauze, or thin silk, depending on the rank and duties of the woman. The robes are made of two strips about 3 to 4 inches wide and draped over each shoulder, ending just past the crotch. The robe is held closed by clips at the front and back, and chains on each hip.
Lesser Priestess
Golden Cuffs. 3 Sets around the ankles, elbows, and wrists. Golden chain on the robes. Must have a gag similar to the high priestess. They have the magic to remove the gag and restraints from the acolytes and novices.
Priestess
Golden Cuffs. 4 Sets around the ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. Golden chain on the robes. Must have a gag similar to the high priestess
Greater Priestess
Golden Cuffs. 5 Sets around the ankles, knees, upper thighs, elbows, and wrists. Golden chain on the robes. Must have a gag similar to the high priestess
High Priestess
The high priestess rules over the temple, and makes sure that all the rites and ceremonies are conducted. She knows all of the ceremonies and rites, which the lesser priestesses do not. The high priestess wears platinum cuffs and collar, which none of the other priestesses wear. She wears five sets, around her ankles, knees, upper thighs, wrists, and elbows. Each is magically sealed and cannot be removed, and each has four D-rings on it. On her body somewhere she always wears a gag of some sort on a magical strap. Either around her neck or in her mouth. Her robes are like the other priestesses robes but the chain is platinum.
Temple Layout
Outside
The temple is hidden because of the cult's fear of being suppressed by the main religion of Seris. They have built their temple hidden under ground behind a water fall that pours down into a pool of warm water surrounded by some trees. The cave behind the waterfall acts as the hidden entrance to the temple, but the entrance behind is hidden yet again. So the outer cave has been taken over by smugglers, slavers, and anyone who wants a hidden place for the night. The cave floor is covered with sand. A few modifications have been made to it, some small sub chambers have been turned into cages for holding goods or slaves. A few manicales on chains have been driven into various walls as well.
Inside
Inside the temple there are various different areas:
Living Quarters
Novice and acolyte quarters are near the entrance of the temple. The priestess quarters are near the back.
Worship rooms
- Main Temple: Lavish, hugs, filled with gold statues, and bondage toys.
- Elemental Rooms:
- Fire
- Earth
- Air
- Water
- Lightning
The priestesses are not allowed to enter these rooms with their robes, they must all be left outside. Each worship room has a grand door made of some rare metal or stone, but the priestesses usually don't enter through this door, instead there is a small wooden door they have to enter through on their hands and knees. Usually only when a woman is being dragged into the room to be a sacrifice or punished before the goddess is the main door used. Of course the sacrifice is a sexual sacrifice, a novice losing her virginity, or getting whipped for the first time, maybe being pierced.
All the rites are performed in these rooms, the priestess is always bound while performing. If she is the only one in the room then she can remove the bindings after the rite or ceremony, if not she must get someone else to unbind her. If she leaves the room while bound, it means that even if she finds herself alone she won't be able to remove the binds, someone else has to.
