The
public symbol of being a Devotee is wearing a gold ring with a red garnet
stone on the little finger of the left hand. This is presented in Chapter 1 here.
The private symbol that a man is a Devotional Knight is his keeping his
pubic hair clean-shaven.
Whenever
a Princess sees her Knight naked there is a visual reminder that he is
her Knight, and a Knight is reminded of his role whenever he shaves himself and every time he sees himself naked.
"I like seeing my Knight in all his glory with nothing hidden, knowing he is mine.It's more visually appealing, clean and neat. I can see everything.I like his Desire looking so exposed - he is open and he cannot hide any signs of arousal.I like the idea as much as the physical side." - Princess Ada
This private symbol of being a Knight is not
included in the definition of Devotional Sex,
hence it is optional.
But, as shown below, once a Knight has fully committed to being a
Knight, being clean-shaven is a very good way of showing and
celebrating this. Hence I recommend that this ritual be practiced by
all Knights.
For the Knight to keep himself clean-shaven he
will have to shave himself every few days, and this will become a new
Devotional Sex habit. This is why is being clean-shaven has been called a Devotional Sex ritual.
A
Princess is free to choose to have her pubic hair natural, trimmed, or
clean-shaven.
Whichever she chooses has no special significance within
Devotional Sex.
The meaning of this private symbol of being a Knight is the same as the meaning of wearing a Devotee Ring.
As
with all symbols, the meaning comes from the Princess and Knight
attaching this meaning to his being shaved.
Of course none of this
meaning applies to a man who has shaved pubic hair just because he
enjoys the look.
His being shaved changes the look of his erection, and this emphasizes some important parts of his commitment to being a Knight. (More)
The look of a Knight's soft Desire and balls when he is clean-shaven is very different when he is soft.
Being
so exposed means that his Princess can see every little change in his
arousal. During Affirmation a Princess can do much more than just
admire her Knight, she can now read his mind. (More)
Being clean-shaven makes a Knight's erection look bigger and more impressive. A Knight should always be proud of his erection.
Practicing
Devotional Sex means that a Knight will be hard more often, and thus a
Princess will have many opportunities to admire her Knight.
With
Devotional Sex a Princess can enjoy getting her Knight hard just for
the view, and this works particularly well during Affirmation. (More)
The best time to
start this ritual is when a couple make a commitment to each other to
practice Devotional Sex for a month or longer.
Another time to start is if a couple are interested in enjoying some Devotional activities with others.
It is best not to have a Knight shave himself if you are only going to practice Devotional Sex for a few days. (More)
Who decides to start this ritual
The initial desire to do this ritual may come from either the Princess or her Knight.
But
for his being clean-shaven to properly represent that he is a Knight,
the decision to start this ritual must be made by the Princess.
If doing this ritual was first suggested by the Knight, his Princess can take control and even add further new rules. (More)
When the Knight is single
A
Knight who is single can decide to keep his pubic hair clean-shaven to
symbolize his commitment to practicing Devotional Sex with any future
dates or during any intimate activities with a friend.
Being shaved makes the first Reveal even more memorable, and shows the new Princess that he really is a Knight. (More)
There are many ways a Knight can keep his pubic area clean-shaved. This section looks at the pros and cons of each. (More)
