The Knight
His Erotic Energy States
A
Knight has lots of different ways of feeling and handling his
erotic energy.
Some of these energy states are the 'normal' response to a
situation. Devotional Sex also has some new energy states which are part of what makes Devotional Sex unique.
Part of being a Knight is him deliberately moving between energy states
so that his state is the right one for the current situation. Also his
Princess can move him from one state to another to suit her wishes.
Rather than being in one state or another there is a
continuum between most states. So in practice a Knight will often be somewhere
in between two states.
Hopefully my giving names to the following twelve points on the energy continuum will be useful in explaining how Devotional Sex works.
If a state has (More) at the end, click that link for an expanded explanation.
Vanilla & Devotional Sex
These energy states are a normal part of both Vanilla Sex and Devotional Sex:
Attentive - He is thinking about sex and feeling desire but he is not (yet) fully hard.
Here his energy ranges from mild desire up to being slightly hard.
With Vanilla Sex this often fairly quickly leads to him becoming Eager and then activity. But with Devotional Sex a Knight will often be Attentive without anything further immediately following.
One of the joys of Devotional Sex is that he can be Attentive for many hours each day. This can be celebrated at home with Affirmation
(when he isn't fully hard). There are also many ways a Princess can
keep her Knight feeling Attentive when they go out together.
Eager - He is aroused and erect and is either engaged in sexual activity or is eager for it to start soon:
It is thoughts of desiring sex which get him hard, and as an Eager
Knight is keen for sexual activity, whatever it is, rather than her Wishes making him do
something they are allowing
him to do it.
As a Knight never knows what is
going to happen, even just waking up or getting into bed with his
Princess may be enough to get him Eager.
This is good because if she wants
something
to happen then he is already eager to please, and if nothing happens he
has
built up the erotic energy enabling him to relax into Adoration.
One of the fun things of being a Princess is that it is always very
easy to quickly make him Eager. For example during Adoration all she
needs to do is play with him a little more actively and he will quickly
become Eager, and during Affirmation it may take no more than her talking about sex for her to be able to see him move from Attentive to Eager.
Edging - He is on the edge of having a Climax:
With
Vanilla Sex this is his energy state just before he ejaculates. Some
couples enjoy getting him to this state and then keeping him there
(with the kink of tease and denial denying him release at the end).
With Devotional Sex if he is Eager or Energized and she says "Release" he will first move into Edging and from there ejaculate. But if she wishes she can first say "Edge" and he moves into Edging and stays at this level until she finally says "Release".
Edging which isn't followed by a
Climax is likely to leave a Knight feeling at least some frustration.
Thus I recommend that Edging is avoided until a Princess wants him to end a Session with him Climaxing.
A Knight doesn't miss out on the energy of Edging as with Devotional Sex he gets to spend lots of time in the Energized state.
Climaxing - Having an orgasm and ejaculation:
This
is a normal male orgasm and ejaculation except that as Devotional Sex
has him build up his energy for much longer than normal his Climax is
usually much more powerful and pleasurable. This is not only great for
him but it makes it more fun for her to give him this pleasure.
Once his Climax is over his energy goes to Flat.
Flat - Having no erotic energy after ejaculating:
With
Vanilla Sex a man spends most of his time flat. He will have times
going from Flat to Attentive then back to Flat. And sometimes he goes
from Flat to Attentive to Eager to Edging to Climaxing then back to
Flat.
With far fewer ejaculations
the recovery time for a Knight may be longer than normal. So if she wants him to begin a new Season
feeling like her Knight it works best to have him Climax just before
sleep, and then to give him a Devotional Cuddle (or more) in the
morning to rebuild his energy.
Sometimes a
Princess may want a rest from his
energy and so have him Climax on, say, Saturday morning. In this case
her Knight should recognize that she wants him flat and try to to
avoid rebuilding his energy until she is ready.
Not ejaculating with untamed energy
Most men are used to ejaculating at
the end of sexual activity, and if they don't do this it's felt as
frustration and then blue balls.
Frustrated - The feelings immediately after sexual activity ends without him Climaxing when his energy is untamed:
When
first starting Devotional Sex this is the natural reaction to not
ejaculating at the end of sexual activity. Not only does he feel
frustrated, but if this happens at bedtime his erection can remain very
hard for ages and it can be impossible to get to sleep.
If this happens within normal sex then he will only feel frustration
(and, if denied ejaculation by his partner, rejection as well).
When first exploring Devotional Sex he doesn't feel rejected because he has
committed to not ejaculate as often (so she isn't denying him). Though
he will feel some frustration this will be balanced by also feeling
intimacy and connection during the post-activity Devotional Cuddle.
Over time, as his body gets used to this new way of ending sex and if he learns to circulate his energy, the frustration becomes less and less until eventually there is no frustration at all. Instead he feels only Exaltation and Adoration, and it's always easy to go to sleep.
Blue Balls - The hours and days after sex ends without Climax when his energy is untamed:
Blue
Balls are the feelings of being on edge and frustrated in the hours and
days once his erection has gone down after having had sexual activity
without ejaculating. As well as possibly feeling moody and irritable,
and being unable to concentrate on normal things in life (eg work)
there can be a physical ache in the balls.
Again by his body getting used to this, and if he learns to circulate
his energy, both the physical ache and the mental symptoms pass, and
instead of Blue Balls a Knight enjoys feeling Enlivened.
Devotional Sex
These energy states are not usually felt by those doing Vanilla Sex but form a key part of living Devotional Sex.
Energized - He has very high erotic energy but is always at least 30 seconds away from being able to Climax:
With normal sex a man having high erotic energy without feeling he is just
about to ejaculate requires him to stay just below Edging. Him staying in control means
holding back.
The Energized state is when his energy builds without him ever feeling
he is about to ejaculate and thus he always remains in control and
won't accidentally Climax. In this state if he wants to ejaculate he
can't do so instantly but instead he first needs to mentally change
gears to move across to Edging.
Being Energized enables him to enjoy the energy of Edging but without
his Princess having to do the 'work' of keeping him at that high energy
level while also being careful to not push him over the edge.
As well as being calm when he is highly energized, both may enjoy him sometimes feeling desperate. Though he acts and feels desperate he is still in control as he won't accidentally Climax and if his Princess says "be Calm" he can calm himself and move to Exaltation or Adoration.
(More)
Exaltation - Turning his
high erotic energy when sex ends without him Climaxing into an emotional orgasm of intimacy and
connection:
Exaltation can be as powerful and pleasurable, albeit in a
different way, as a Climax. But unlike a Climax which leaves the Knight feeling flat after the
physical pleasure of orgasm and ejaculation, with Exaltation he remains energized
and his energy then calms to become Adoration.
A
Session where she has an orgasm and he doesn't Climax seems one-sided.
But if she orgasms and he ends with Exaltation the Session becomes a Delight to both.
Most Knights will only be able to feel Exaltation when they are also
enjoying a Devotional Cuddle. So here he
relies on his Princess to look
after him. Fortunately this is fairly easy for her as all she needs to
do is gently hold his erection as they cuddle which doesn't require
much effort even
if she is exhausted after her orgasm.
Exaltation is easiest to reach once
a Knight has learned to enjoy being Energized. To feel Exaltation
during a post-activity Devotional Cuddle he uses the energy generated
from the sexual activity to feel a peak of desperate energy of wanting
more sex now (which she will feel as he is likely to give some
desperate thrusts into her hand) and he then suddenly relaxes this
energy, accepting that this is all for now, and directing all his energy into feeling intimacy and
connection with his Princess.
This sudden relaxing of high energy
has some similarity with the sudden fall of energy with ejaculation and
with the release of tension of Cresting. Both of these have the
physical shuddering of orgasm. Exaltation has no such physical orgasm
but it can be thought of as a mental emotional orgasm.
As far as I'm aware it is only Devotional Sex
which teaches a man how
to experience Exaltation and creates a lifestyle where he can enjoy
this often.
Adoration - Erotic
resting during which he is aroused and erect and his erotic energy is
focussed on feeling relaxed intimacy and connection with his Princess:
He will have got aroused from being Eager. But once he feels that it is unlikely that sexual
activity will follow, rather than desiring immediate activity and
feeling frustrated that this isn't happening, he accepts that nothing further will happen now, and he deliberately channels
his
thoughts to intimacy and connection (and looking forward to activities
at future sessions).
It is easier for him to feel Adoration if his energy is accepted with
a Devotional Cuddle, but as his energy
isn't high 'just a cuddle' will be ok for some Knights.
As Adoration is enjoyed both after sexual activity ends and with
session of just a Devotional Cuddle, some couples will spend more time
enjoying the intimacy and connection of Adoration than they do enjoying
sexual activity.
Enlivened - The feeling of
relaxed erotic energy felt throughout the day by a Knight who has
learned to calm his energy:
When his energy is calmed rather then feeling blue balls or him being on edge he feels a pleasant background energy without which life feels a
bit flat.
Being Enlivened is deliberately a more energized version of the
experience of those who don't ejaculate often as part of Tao or Tantra.
The extra energy is needed with Devotional Sex
because it is this that
ensures that a Knight can always quickly become Eager
and thus keen to fulfill any of his Princess's Wishes.
Being Enlivened not only has him desiring and appreciating his partner
more but it can also create a greater
appreciation of and 'oneness' with the rest of the natural and human
world.
Cresting - For a male this is having an orgasm without ejaculating:
Learning to orgasm without ejaculating (the multi-orgasmic man) is an optional enhancement to Devotional Sex.
As he doesn't ejaculate his erotic energy is maintained and he can keep having orgasms or move on to other activities.
