Swapping
partners used to be called `wife swapping´. In Devotional Sex a
Princess can swap her Knight with another Princess, and this is called
Knight swapping.
With Knight swapping
each Princess gets to have fun with and be pampered by a borrowed
Knight. And both Knight's get to enjoy the adventure of serving a temporary
Princess.
Knight lending is when a Princess lends her Knight to
another woman.
A
Princess might lend her Knight to a female friend so that she can host
a girls night at her home with a naked man being their waiter and
entertainment. Or she might lend her Knight to a single female friend
so that her friend can enjoy an evening of being pampered.
A
Princess with a borrowed Knight can enjoy teasing and arousing him, and
she could even have him be naked for all of the time they are together.
Such erotic fun with a borrowed Knight might be as far as things go.
As this is Devotional Sex, a borrowed Knight should never be allowed to Climax while with a temporary Princess. And if sharing sexual pleasures is allowed, I recommend that this never goes as far as Joy.
Knight swapping or lending is different from the other types of activities with others because with Knight swapping or lending the Princess who
borrows a Knight takes him away to play with alone. In all the other
types of interaction with others the Knight obeys his own Princess.
With Knight swapping and lending he must obey a temporary Princess.
As with all Devotional Sex activities, Knight swapping or lending can only take place if everyone involved consents.
What
happens can range from mild to wild depending on how the limits have
been set (everyone involved is able to set limits) and what the
borrowing Princess decides to do within those limits.
The Knight setting his limits I recommend that every Princess fully explore her Knight's limits in regard to Knight swapping and lending.
Even
if a Princess has no intention of every allowing Knight swapping or
lending to happen, it may be fun for both to find out what her Knight
would like or be willing to do. And if she does not tell her Knight
that his being swapped or lent will always remain just a fantasy, the
couple can both enjoy the fun of the Knight thinking that one day it
might happen.
Once
a Princess has discovered her Knight's limits, she is free to swap or
lend her Knight whenever she wishes as long as this is all done within his limits. (More)
The Princess who is lending her Knight The Princess lending her Knight decides how long he will be away and what conditions will apply.
If the lending is part of a swap, then both Knights will be lent for the same amount of time. A Knight might be lent for just a few hours, an evening, or a whole weekend.
The lending Princess also sets what rules and restrictions will apply while he is away, and what, if any, activities are not allowed.
She may also make
suggestions to the Princess who will be borrowing her Knight. This
discussion may be in front of her Knight, or it can be done without him
knowing.
When
swapping Knight's the rules may be the same for both Knights. But this
does not need to be the case, and an interesting dynamic is created
when the rules for each Knight are different. (More)
The Princess with a borrowed Knight A
Princess and a borrowed Knight have a different dynamic from a Devotee
couple. As they are not in a relationship, the borrowed Knight is very
much just the sensual and sexual plaything of the Princess.
Borrowing a Knight is the ultimate indulgence for a Princess.
A Princess with a borrowed Knight is free to do whatever she wishes as long as
what is done remains within everyone's limits. Of course this includes
not going as far as the limits allow.
A part of Devotional Sex being fully consensual is that a Knight can set limits for what his Princess is allowed to do with other men. If such limits have been set, a Princess with a borrowed Knight is duty bound to stay within these limits.
Devotional
Sex is only successful if everyone involved enjoys it enough to want to
continue its practice. Thus a Princess with a borrowed Knight has a
responsibility to ensure that her borrowed Knight enjoys the experience
enough to want to do this again.
Knight swapping or
lending can be used to give someone new to Devotional Sex a fun
practical lesson. An experienced Princess can educate a new Knight, or
an experienced Knight can guide a new Princess. (More)
The Knight who is borrowed
The Knight who is lent or swapped has the adventure and pleasure of serving another Princess.
Doing things with a new person makes everything feel novel and much more exciting.
For example, it is fun for a Knight to be told to Reveal by his Princess, but hearing "Reveal" from a temporary Princess is much more exciting, and perhaps even slightly scary.
A
Knight with a temporary Princess will be on his best behavior because
he wants to impress his temporary Princess and make his own Princess
proud of him.
The
communication and feedback associated with Knight swapping and lending
not only ensures that things go no further than have been agreed, but
it ensures that the Knight's (normal) Princess knows how well he
behaves while he is away. (More)
Because
having a borrowed Knight is such a special event, most Princesses will
probably want to make the most of the opportunity.
This can be a time for her to enjoy Sensual Pleasures such as foot and body massages.
She can also enjoy lots of Erotic Fun
to both tease her borrowed Knight and to make their time together feel
unique. For example, the Princess may decide that her borrowed Knight
must be naked all of the time he is with her. (More)
Which full sexual activities
are allowed to take place between a Princess and her borrowed Knight
depends on the limits set by all involved. Of course a Princess with a borrowed Knight may decide not to go as far as the limits allow.
My recommendation is that a
Knight is never allowed to Climax while being swapped or lent. I also
recommend that all sexual activities be allowed except for Joy.
Applying
these restrictions leaves some sexual acts as things solely done within
the relationship, which ensures that sex within the relationship has
some unique pleasures.
The restrictions are also very easy to
apply for people who practice Devotional Sex because within a
Devotional relationship there will be many evenings with sexual
activity which do not go as far as Joy, and even more evenings where
the Knight is not allowed to Climax.
Of
course couples can set stronger or weaker rules if they wish. (More)
How
a Princess and her borrowed Knight relate together in regards to
intimacy and connection depends on what works best for them while they are together.
At one extreme the dynamic can be fairly `business
like´ and have no kissing or cuddling. The other extreme is when a Princess wants to
enjoy lots of intimacy with her borrowed Knight and there is lots of kissing and cuddling while they are together.
The amount of connection will also depend on the couple. If the Tantric
component of Devotional Sex is fully explored it is possible to create
a very strong connection and there may even be a spiritual component to
the session. (More)
A
Princess who would be jealous if her Knight was with someone else is
unlikely to agree to lend her Knight. And a Knight who thinks that he
might be so jealous if his partner was with another Knight that it
might damage their relationship should not allow Knight swapping to become part of his Devotional relationship.
But as part of the fun and excitement of
Knight swapping, both a Knight's Princess and the Princess who borrows
him can have fun with the fact that the Knight might be a bit jealous
that his Princess is with another man. If this is done properly, it can
be very powerful and exciting for the Knight. (More)
A chance to do some different things A
Princess with a borrowed Knight has the opportunity to explore any
activities which her normal partner is unwilling to do (or would not
enjoy doing) as long as her borrowed Knight is willing or wanting to do
that activity.
To take one of the enhancements presented in Chapter 13
as an example, if a Princess would like to give a Knight a good
spanking, and her normal partner is not interested in this kink, she
might find that her borrowed Knight would enjoy being spanked.
Having
a borrowed Knight also enables a Princess to enjoy a dynamic that she
feels would be inappropriate to do with her partner, but would be fun
to do with a borrowed Knight. (More)

A
key factor in ensuring that Knight swapping works in practice is to
ensure that there are two communications sessions afterwards. As
everyone knows that this communication will take place after the event,
this keeps what happens during the event within the agreed limits, and
it ensures that everyone behaves appropriately.
One communication session is for the two Princesses to compare notes.
The
other communication session is that after a Knight returns from being
lent or swapped he must tell his Princess in detail what happened and
how he felt.
It is recommended that to enhance Princess Power
that a Princess who borrows a Knight never tells her Knight anything at
all about what she did with her borrowed Knight. (More)
Knight swapping in real-life
The
challenge for a couple wishing to try some Knight swapping is that they
need to find a compatible couple who also practice Devotional Sex and who
are also interested in Knight swapping. Fortunately the Internet is
ideal for bringing people together.
If both couples have read
this site and are used to practicing Devotional Sex, making the
arrangements for a Knight swap might be a fairly quick and easy
process. (More)
Knight lending in real-life
Knight
lending requires a Princess to be willing to lend her Knight without
getting the fun of having a borrowed Knight. The three reasons why she
might lend her Knight are all to do with giving others an exciting
experience, so real-life Knight lending requires the lending Princess
to be very generous.
But
if a Princess is willing to lend her Knight, it may be surprisingly
easy to find a woman who would enjoy borrowing a Knight, and thus
couples who want to try Knight lending will probably be able to try
this for real. (More)
Creating a better relationship
When
it all works, Knight swapping and lending not only provides fun and
pleasure, but may also result in a better relationship for each Devotee
couple involved.
Sexual activity with other people always has some dangers, and Knight swapping is definitely not
for everyone.
But those who are brave enough to try Knight swapping, and who are able to
avoid the potential problems, will get to enjoy the fun and adventure of Devotional Sex with another person.
As well as being fun, Knight swapping might lead to a better relationship.
A
long-term relationship can become a bit stale partly because a man no longer
feels he needs to prove himself to his partner.
But
when a couple do some Knight swapping, the man will know that his
partner is enjoying another man. This may re-energize his competitive
drive and make him want to prove to his partner that he is still
deserving of her. Hence he is likely to strive to be a better Knight
with his Princess so that he compares favorably with the borrowed
Knight.
Hence Knight swapping might even bring a couple closer together and make their relationship even better. (More)
A Knight-swapping club is when three or more Princesses organize themselves so they can swap their Knights.
This
not only makes it possible to enjoy the pleasures of borrowing a Knight on a
regular basis, but provides some variety in the borrowed Knights. (More)
