I got to know your concept thru a friend
and I love it. Also love the way you made it accessible on your website
and did not try to monetize it in any way. That is so great and kind
(to humankind!) ...
Thank you for your generosity, to have put something you have built out
there, for everyone's benefit.

I stumbled upon your tumblr page a couple of months ago, and to me it
was
one of the greatest discoveries I have ever made. It is just what I
have always wished for, and could never quite describe it accurately. I
do know others that are searching for the very same type of
relationship dynamic, and I have shared your website.
A female reader
who is searching for her Knight, 12 April 2018
I discovered Devotional Sex about a year ago. Our sex life had been
waning and my husband had started experiencing Erectile Dysfunction).
We're both 51.
Now (with Devotional Sex) he gets and stays hard much better than
before. I have him practice Affirmation at least some of every day and
I enjoy receiving Pleasure Kisses every day, sometimes lasting over an
hour.
Wish Words are
an amazing way to communicate and I use them often!
Devotional
Sex has been a revelation for myself as I realize it was exactly how I
want to feel and live with my lover ... Thank you for lighting our
life, our romance, and helping me to build my lover temple where my
Princess always awaits me.
We
are very close after he has made me orgasm through oral sex and he is
obviously through his erection devout and intensely loving afterwards.
Sometimes I let him give me a further orgasm with his fingers we are so
close afterwards a wonderful feel. I rarely allow him to ejaculate.

We were fortunate to be introduced
to Devotional Sex through friends. Our "social group" now is more other
couples who share the interest.

We find this way of life so positive we only wish everyone was doing
it. It has helped our marriage in every way possible.

Just want to thank you for this,
it's completely changed how both of us view sex. Twice daily Devotional
Cuddles (wake up and before bed) have helped communication so much.
After some hesitation by the Knight on Affirmation we've embraced that and really
found its benefits. Thank you so much for everything.

Devotional Sex has brought out much
more sexual interest and adventure from my wife. She is also now very
positive about sex.
Male 43, USA, Survey comment, April 2107
Even though we built a successful
life with many great children, my wife and I of nearly 25 years (a
quarter century!) were really struggling.
I found your web site quite by accident searching for something
completely different. After exploring it for over two weeks, and being
reluctant to show it to my wife, because of trust issues, I finally
chose to do so (reluctantly). After less than an hour reading about
DevS she recommended we try a brief spell, just for fun.
A few days later we decided to give it a little longer try because of
the immediate improvements in our marriage and intimate life.
Sometime later when we were talking about how long to continue for she
surprised me by saying she wanted to try this dynamic for a much longer
time - not just one brief session. We continued on while discussing
this for several more days as a very happy Princess and Knight.
Some time later, while again talking about DevS and how long to try it
for, she again totally shocked me by saying that she wanted to
incorporate this lifestyle from now on! Not sure I heard her, or
understood her right, I asked her what she meant and she repeated from
now on ….. forever!
Now mind you, she is anything but a dominant person. And up to now not
very sexual in general. But doing DevS has really been better than a
second honeymoon. She now regularly initiates sexual activities, often
having multiple orgasms in a session - sometimes as many as six to
twelve. The turn around in our marriage and sex life is staggering. She
has gone from a reluctantly willing partner to a happy eager and
confident Princess. We have been fully living DevS ever since.
Thank you from both of us!
Male 50, Tumblr comment, February 2017
Devotional Sex has very much
improved sex for both of us and at the same time depend our loving bond
with each other.
Her friends that have been told are very interested in discussing her
Devotional Sex experiences and want to hear all of the intimate details
that she will share.
Male 52, USA, Sometimes does DevS and
is interested in exploring living it, February 2017
Devotional Sex is great fun for
both, and helps build intimacy, love, while renewing both his and
especially her passion and desire.
I wish I had learned these things when I was young. We are now living a
long second honeymoon better than the first. What fun!
Male 52, USA, Lives DevS, February 2017
It is fun to see her have so
much fun! Happy wife very happy life.
Because we are just settling into this dynamic there are still some
bumps along the way, otherwise we both would probably hit extremely
happy. But right now we both seem to take greater pleasure pleasing
each other rather than being pleased. Does it get any better than that?
Male 52, USA, Lives DevS, February 2017
I could not be happier. I
am 29 years old living with a hot 20 year old handsome fit guy who
is
naked around the house every day with a beautiful cock and with balls
full of sperm. I am so proud to show him off naked to my girlfriends
who are so envious of my life.

comment, January 2107
We are about 1 month into this. We
have been married 9 years. I (Knight) always liked the idea of chastity
devices but something just didn't make sense or fit so I never brought
it up. When I found this site, it was like everything I was thinking
was put into a plan!
We are slowly adopting more and more, namely the terminology, but have
never felt closer and more connected. In the 1 month of doing this, I
have ejaculated 5 or so times. My Princess has orgasmed well over 30
times.
It turned an almost sexless marriage (although absolutely great bond
and relationship) into a heated, passionate situation that just seems
to be getting stronger and better! Thanks for this site!

Devotional
Sex is the best thing that channeled our respective sensuality and
sexuality with each other into something so erotic, sensual and
connected that our love for each other grows stronger and more intense
each day. A simple touch takes on significantly more meaning.
Male 62, USA, Lives DevS, Survey
comment, November 2016
WOW!
Thanks for the website. You put words to thoughts I have pondered
around for many years. Desires of a relationship that neither fitted
into a vanilla world or a BDSM world. How to make sexual feelings into
something more sacred than a quick fix between someones legs, male or
female …and still keep the interest and desire for each other
alive with some teasing and fun, a close connection and lots of mutual
respect.
Allow me to give you and your co-creators a big hug and many thanks for
sharing your experiences.
Liza, Tumblr comment, November 2016
It should be everyone's lifestyle because it make your relationship so
much closer. My advice is that all couples should try it.

could never imagine having a better relationship. This is going to be

With
women becoming more and more the bread winner and modern man taking
more interest in fashions, and their need for constant approval, I
think Devotional Sex is what is evolving and what will become the norm
in future generations. It seems once the initial trial period passes -
once a Knight always a Knight.
We have told a few couples about Devotional Sex. At first there was
expressions of awe and slight disapproval. However, three of the four
couples are now enjoying this new life style. And, I have observed how
much more the new Knights are attentive to their Princess needs. The
Princess's share successes when we have lunch.
Female 30, Lives DevS, Survey comment, February 2016
I was brought up to think of my
sexual role as very passive. As a Princess I'm not passive, I say what
I want. I love watching Stuart get himself erect for me. 'Want' means
joy sex, 'waste' means masturbate for me. 'Wonder' means admire and
kiss me but without ejaculation.
How many wives in the past got this gift?
Female, Tumblr comment, January 2016
Devotional sex has taken the pressure of "asking" for sex so that it is
more relaxed but incredibly more passionate and connected. This also
results in my Princess having more intense orgasms.
62, USA, Live DevS, Survey comment, January 2016
I felt honored when Josh told me he
would only ejaculate when I said yes. It involved such restraint, it
was a courtly gift!
I love it when he bends to kiss my sex, and in response just to my
look. I provoke his desire, through dress and talk. I want to please
him. But I am too a woman of my time and I like it that I say when he
can ejaculate and where and how. His restraint fuels us and I determine
the spend of what we have.
Female, Tumblr comment, January 2016
Since a few weeks we practice
Devotional Sex at her request. She is radiating since
we do it. She really is my Princess and I feel very good to be her
devoted Knight.
Tumblr message, 31 December 2015
Thank you so much for
being so devoted to encouraging good, loving, nurturing, satisfying
sex.
I didn't realize I was searching for something to explain to
myself and my love what I wanted till I found your site. So empowering
- so rewarding!

Devotional sex totally revived our
sex life which is why we live it full time. It's much more romantic now
as well. Intercourse is the best part. I find it much more exciting now
and my wife has become multi-orgasmic.

comment, December 2015
We enjoy the challenges of
Devotional Sex. She has not wanted intercourse and has not felt as
sexual as he during this season of her life but loves the freedom that
Devotional Sex gives her to be sexual however and whenever she wishes
without pressure from him.
She's learning to embrace the Goddess role and he's learning to accept
the challenge of being a Knight whose focus is to give her a place of
safety and refuge and opportunities to be sexual on her own terms.

I have been looking for this
all my life. This concept is amazing and would change many
relationships for the better.
Anonymous post to my Tumblr, November 2013
I
really, REALLY enjoyed this. It’s such a wonderful expression of
how sexual lifestyles evolve and deepen, and i just love how intimate
it is ....
Taking time, creating a space, and I like the idea that sex happens
when she wants it to happen. This and the building of sexual energy and
connection between partners is heavily anchored in tantra. It appeals
to me very much. but it is a philosophy that requires equality and
respect – and I wonder if our cultural baggage isn’t too
weighted with ego, defensiveness and sexism.
However you feel about the power balance or objectification aspects of
this ‘devotional sex’ I think it’s some incredibly
interesting reading that will add to your lovemaking in many ways.
I’ve included some links I followed down this particular rabbit
hole and found them all super informative.
This article
at TheDotSpot.net, April
2013
Dorothy
Black is the first professional journalist/writer
to write about Devotional Sex.
I
have spent about the last two hours reading your website. I am blown
away that you have created something like this. What a beautiful gift!
I can feel the depth of emotion and intimacy that sharing Devotional
Sex can create between a man and a woman. Your descriptions of your
experience with Ada are very vivid, and you have given me a lot to
think about.

And the next day she
wrote:
Devotional Sex is a beautiful technique that is very empowering and
healing for women. It creates exquisite closeness and intimacy between
partners whether they are friends, dating, or in a relationship. It
turns the traditional male / female sexual dynamic on its head. I would
even dare to say that it is revolutionary in its approach to sexuality,
hearkening back to certain historical periods when women and the
feminine principle were truly honored and revered.
What a fantastic site - the
whole concept really resonates with me. I am surprised that there aren't
thousands of links to this, this should be shouted like great news!
When i found your site I was like "oh my god. he just summoned up
everything thats in my mind and named things that i didn't name
before". So thank you for giving my desire a name - Devotional Sex.
Male, Tumblr comment, 28 December 2011
Another new fan of
Devotional Sex. ... Being new to your site, I have much
reading to do to get up-to-speed with all DevS offers. At this point in
time, I finally see DevS as something I can talk to my (hopefully
future)
Princess to without her feeling like I left the planet. I really love
happy women ...
Just stumbled on your
blog and website. You are right-on-the-mark for what I've been looking
for. I have much reading to do and hope to spark interest in my partner
soon. Many Thanks!
Male, Tumblr comment, 19 December 2011
After
a very long time I've found something that sings to my soul and my soul
hears it. I thought maybe I was a Sub with Dom traits but when I read
about the Devotional Sex dynamic I finally' made sense' to myself.
Thank you.
Female, Tumblr comment, 7 December 2011
I
found your website a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to stop
reading. I am very close to introducing my wife to the idea of
Devotional Sex but am still a little nervous. Maybe reading some of
your stories would help. Thank you for all your hard work.
Male, Tumblr comment, 5 December 2011
I stumbled onto the Devotional Sex website and read it for hours.
Thanks for putting so much effort into it Michael!
We spent a week trying some of the concepts of DevS and it was
fantastic!
My Princess took to it pretty quickly, very easily telling me when she
wanted things to end. Meanwhile, she usually only orgasms once per week
and was now getting an orgasm almost every day ...
We also spend time morning and night in a cuddle and I do find these
times have helped us grow closer.
If anyone is using Viagra you can throw it away and try DevS instead
because you will be horny like never before.
I looked at your site yesterday and I've been reading about the
Devotional Sex lifestyle. I love it!
It is a brilliant idea and I love the words that you use for things
:) You are brilliant my friend, brilliant!
Domme Heather, Female, 19, Michigan

For me Devotional Sex comes the closest to describing an ideal sexual
relationship.
The real-life and fictional stories on your site are both erotic and
heartwarming.
Further, I think you've done a great job picking out the words you've
chosen.
Knight Brian, Male, 40, Alabama USA,

Have
just discovered your website, spent two hours browsing, and would like
to thank you for having put so much time and energy into it.
I think it is potentially very user
friendly, and has lots of new insights, even for more seasoned Dom/sub
couples.
Mystress Eve, Female, England, via
FetLife, February 2010
I found your site today and I'm enjoying it.
One thing I like is that it
encourages a loving, caring relationship with husband and wife. Another is that it does not assume that
everyone will like or enjoy the same thing, nor should they have to.
My wife and I already do some of the fun things you mentioned.
We gradually started doing the Knight / Princess thing on our own.
It
has been a win / win thing for added variety in our sex lives. It makes
her hot for me to treat her like a Princess, and because it is so
adventurous and different, it makes me hot. It can be lovingly
circular.
Male, 50, August 2009
Many, many thanks for creating your thoughtful Devotional Sex FetLife
group.
I stumbled across it. Read all the
posts. And then surrendered many hours of my evening reading your
website.
It was quite intoxicating.
The very next evening that I can
afford scant sleep will find me again perusing its pages.
I'm new to the Femdom
journey. I've ordered a ridiculous number of books, spent countless
hours on FetLife as well as other sites.... all seeking something to
match my vision of dominance. Your site has come the closest to how I
perceive my power.
So, my thanks. I think you have
much to teach me.
Female, via FetLife, July 2009
I
just wanted to say how lovely it was to discover your website
today. Over the last year I've been lucky enough to have found the
most wonderful relationship with a warm and loving Knight just as your
website describes. I have sent him the link to your site and I know he
won't be able to believe that there is someone out there that has been
able to so eloquently capture the warmth and intimacy (not to mention
fun) of devotion.
I
like everything about your website. It's tone, graphics,
layout. Other websites have been hopelessly inappropriate for what
we have, now I have found one that fits perfectly. Thank you so much.
Female, July 2009
I'm
very pleased to add my thanks to those of my Lady, who contacted you a
few days ago to offer congratulations on your Devotional Sex website.
Since she pointed me in your direction, I've visited the site so many
times as it describes and approaches so closely the wonderful warm
world of love we already share.
The
trust, desire, respect and shear fun that we have so closely matches
the aims you recommend others reach for. Roles in any relationship
evolve, and it's uncanny that my Lady found in your site descriptions
of a way of loving that we had already moved towards and developed for
ourselves.
So
once again, thanks for all your hard work and for toiling to develop
such a comprehensive website, a breath of fresh air compared to all the
dreadful, extreme Femdom/BDSM shockers out there. Reading your
information, I keep thinking "Hey, that's my Lady and I, we do that."
Please, please keep up the hard
work.
Male, partner of the previous entry,

All
I got to say is wow what an interesting concept and site. Long story
short I have been reading this every free minute I have for the last
three days.
People
can easily use this to bring their relationship closer. To me it's so
much more than just sex. It's intimacy in pure form.
Male, excerpt from a series of emails,
June 2009
Wow. This is heaven sent! I will read all there is on the subject.
Male, via FetLife, June 2009
I find the concept very interesting. Some of the ideas are very appealing to
me - especially from a FemDom
perspective. I find the most rewarding aspects of being a Mistress are
coaxing, encouraging, training and reciprocating pleasure. Your website
seems to focus on this almost exclusively.
The language is intelligent
but easy to follow. I also
like the look of the website.
I find the personal stories the
most alluring as I can see how real people are applying this practice
to their lives. In the Ada and Michael Blog I love the way they
both anticipate each others needs and seem to get genuine pleasure from
relaxing and pleasuring each other - not concentrating solely on
receiving pleasure themselves. In my experience these are the most
rewarding of relationships - mundane and BDSM alike.
After
absorbing
myself in your site I had a mind-blowing session with a submissive and
was very impressed with how many things from Devotional Sex I could
apply to my practices.

This is a terrific site. You have done a lot of thinking and planning.
Congrats.
Male, early 60's, Canada, March 2009
Amazing
site, very interesting technique, enjoyed reading it...and it strangely
attracts me. Actually, it has hit a raw nerve as my main pleasure has
always been giving pleasure; not expecting in return or necessarily my
satisfaction. A very rewarding site. I shall read more.
Male, 46, a bisexual Dominant,
Melbourne Australia, March 2009
I
loved your site. My spouse whom I've been with for many years naturally
exudes Princess Power. We are not FEMDOM, but I can barely remember a
time when I haven't done Pleasure Kisses prior to Joy and I'm not
complaining.
Right back when we first met, she
was adamant
about stopping intercourse when she wanted. It was never tantric but
she would always eject me once she was finished. Yes it frustrated me
but (I know it sounds corny - it seems that I was a Knight without
knowing it). I guess I am different in that way to a normal male but
this became the norm, although calm-down cuddles would certainly be
most welcome. Ejaculation has always been a privilege.
I don't want to babble on but I
look forward to further additions that you make. Keep up the good work.
Male, Australia, November 2008
Great work, really good, please keep it up. I have been interested
in
and practicing this type of thing on and off for a number of years, now
it is being formalized as a genre by your site, well done.
Male, UK, September 2008
I
showed your business card around at a party and it generated huge
interest! I think you're on to something here. I had a good read of the
website myself and to be honest with you it's made me feel a lot more
secure about my own sexuality. Look forward to reading the updates : )
Female, 34, Melbourne Australia, 2008
Some
find the concept too different:
I
have had a look at your website, and think it sure sounds interesting.
However, I think the general (primarily) male population would not
agree to the concept - at least not for more than an experiment.
Perhaps if they are really in love with their Princess (or in
anticipation of a more serious relationship), otherwise I find that
people generally don't want to deprive themselves of what they believe
is "the best" part of sex. And we all know it is VERY hard to get
someone to even consider changing their mind - people are too set in
their ways.

You
push your kink on women FORCING them to receive "your devotion your
way"...I call that humping my leg & trying to convince me I enjoy
it. This has NOTHING to do with my desire, it has to do with how you
want to be serviced to the point you push this "revolutionary dogma" on
unsuspecting vanillas. If this was actually working you would be in a
stable long term marriage not trolling bars & the net for women you
can convince to service you all while claiming they are in charge.

I doubt @DevotionalSex could seem any more skeezy if it tried.

I did look at the website and to be honest there are so many things bad
about it I don't know where to start.
From a layout point of
view: all the colorful divider bits between paragraphs are
annoying.
From
a content point of view: All the childish
terminology used is just ...... childish. The writing style is
laughable. Perhaps it's written for people who are so boring they
don't get lots of interesting sex but I won't be referring anyone I
know to it because I'm sure they are having all kinds of cool sex
already.
