Thanks for a great reply.
These posts are getting my ideas down - sort of a first draft for both the eBook and additions to the website. So I'm actually refining my ideas about Devotional Friends for writing these posts.
I need to do a post soon about the differences between Devotional Friends and Devotional Dating. What both have in common is that both not only take intercourse off the menu, but both also take away male ejaculation. These are the two things which drive a male forward in sexual encounters.
When dating (when it is exploring forming a relationship) the huge benefit of DevS is the QUALITY of the sex. That sex happens is part of dating, such it 'just' the quality which changes.
I think Devotional Friends is the biggest breakthrough because this is a new way to enjoy the playground in between nothing or friends-with-benefits casual sex. This enables people to have an amazing erotic based experience when otherwise nothing would have happened. And Devotional Friends enable much more variation on what each couple get up to, so it creates many ways for just friends to explore the sensual, intimate, sexual, and erotic fun possibilities.
I didn't have my first girlfriend until I was 20, and we progressed very slowly in going a little bit further each time. This made each new step extremely significant and rather than rushing forward each new thing was fully enjoyed.
With my 2nd significant relationship my partner had not had any prior sexual experience, and had grown up in a conservative household. So with her things again moved forward very slowly and at her pace.
So these were really my first DevS experiences of desiring something, having to wait, and then with each new step, because that is as far as we went that time, relaxing into fully enjoying what we were doing.
It was in the last few years of my third significant relationship, which lasted just over 10 years, that I discovered what I've since called Devotional Sex. After this relationship ended I was brave enough to talk about Devotional Sex before we did anything with the first date where I thought something might happen. So we started with DevS, and it worked amazingly. Because she was visiting Australia from overseas we ended up living together, with DevS, for about 2 months.
Since then I used DevS with all my dating. At first I feared that this would result in less activity. I thought that this risk was worth it as it was so much more satisfying to start with DevS than the old standard first sex with intercourse way of dating. To my surprise I think I ended up with more activity than if I had been dating normally. With DevS I was used to not ejaculating. So the one thing that I missed out on was that I got far less intercourse as most dating didn't last long enough to get to that stage.
I've also enjoyed being a Devotional Friend with an old friend. And I've had dates where it was clear that there would be no relationship but she was interested in some activities as Devotional Friends.
Oral sex, performed on her, was the ultimate gift that she could give to her lover or partner.
I think most women are used to men who either don't want to go down on her or do so to 'say' "I've given you pleasure, so now it's your turn to pleasure me". So if they get a man who is eager to do this (because he enjoys doing it) they are very happy to let him.
But this all goes to show that there is huge variation in how men think about Pleasure Kissing and huge variation on how women think about it.
What is proven is that becoming a Knight can take man from thinking that giving a PK is ok to the state of wishing they happened more often and lasted for longer. And it's also very clear that when a Princess can receive a PK without having to follow this by other activities to satisfy him and make him cum, that they chose to have them far more often.
