This page looks at other ways a Knight can manage his energy:
Using an alternative method
The definition of Devotional Sex
doesn't say how a Knight learns to manage his erotic energy. So if he
finds that another method to manage his erotic energy then that is fine.
You may find that without learning to circulate your energy that as you
get used to practicing Devotional Sex then over time it naturally
becomes easier to manage your own energy, and eventually you end up
having great control and no longer feeling any frustration.
Learning to circulate your energy is likely to be a quicker way to eliminate frustration, but it's not the only way.
A mix of Vanilla and Devotional Sex
With 'normal' sex if a man has lots
of sexual activity and doesn't get to ejaculate at the end he is very
likely to feel frustrated.
With Devotional Sex it is usual for sexual activity to end without him
ejaculating but rather than nothing further happening it is usual to
have a Devotional Cuddle, and this cuddle generates intimacy and
connection.
When you first start to explore Devotional Sex you will enjoy the
feelings of intimacy and connection during a post-activity Devotional
Cuddle. But as you haven't yet learned to circulate your energy you are also
likely to feel some frustration.
If you have no interest in learning to circulate your energy and
you can put up with feeling a bit of frustration during post-activity
Devotional Cuddles then this can become the way you practice Devotional
Sex.
The second of the Three Freedoms
for those doing Devotional Sex is the freedom to include bits of other
techniques. So here you are continuing to include some Vanilla (the
frustration) as well as enjoying the intimacy and connection of
Devotional Sex.
A mix of BDSM and Devotional Sex
With Tease and Denial (part of the
BDSM world) the man is denied ejaculation by his dominant partner. His
feelings of frustration are deliberately built up as this kink is about
him 'enjoying' feeling denied and him feeling submissive. So Tease and
Denial doesn't end with a Devotional Cuddle and it's not about
directing his energy into feelings of intimacy and connection.
Tease and Denial has a very different dynamic and feel to Devotional Sex. But
rather than there being one technique or the other there is a continuum
between these two techniques.
So you and your partner may enjoy having a touch of Tease and Denial
and instead of learning to not feel any frustration during a
post-activity Devotional Cuddle you deliberately create some feelings of
frustration (as well as the intimacy and connection).
Once again this is using the second of the Three Freedoms so that a
couple can do what works best for them, but this time the mix is some
Tease and Denial with their Devotional Sex.
