Play enables a Knight to control his own energy - perhaps reaching high
energy or, especially if lasting a long time, more gentle play with
more moderate energy.
If she wants him to reach and then maintain very high energy then she
can say "Energize".
And if she wants him to do erotic meditation she can say "Float".
To stop him playing with himself and have him move his hands away she
can say "Fini".
Part of the power and fun of Play
is that the Knight doesn't know how long his Princess will want him to
do this. He feels hers if she has him Play for longer than he expects,
and of course the control he has given her feels very real if she has
him stop playing when he would like to continue.
So even though he is using his own hands he feels very much in her
hands.
A Princess saying "Play"
when in
bed together or during Affirmation is an easy way for her to keep her
Knight happy with some sexual activity without her having to do
anything. So even if nothing else happens that evening he will feel
that his energy has been used.
The Play wish is much more powerful
and fun if she has set a Preference
that whenever he is with her he cannot play with himself without her
approval. With this Preference set being allowed to play with himself
is a reward.
When this Preference is set the Knight just saying "Play?" is shorthand for
"May I please play with myself Princess?"
A Princess can experiment with her
Knight to see what happens when she has him play with himself for a
long time.
For example, if enjoying Affirmation while watching TV she
could have him play with himself the whole time. Some Knights may be
able to stay erect for ages. Others may have times when they are not
fully hard. But either way, he will be feeling very much her Knight the
whole time.
