New words for talking about sexual positions
New words for talking about sexual positions
Why these words for sexual positions were chosen
The reason most names were chosen is fairly obvious.
The exception is the Power position, and the reason I chose this name might surprise you.
The exception is the Power position, and the reason I chose this name might surprise you.
Firstly, it makes it possible to refer to a position without having to describe the position. While some positions have common names which are very well known (eg missionary), others would need a description every time I mentioned them (eg Joy Cuddle, Joy Rest).
Secondly, the positions with common names use words which do not work well within Devotional Sex (ie missionary, doggy). As I am using new words for common sexual activities, it felt appropriate to also create new words for the common positions.
Joy Power for Joy in the `missionary´ position.
(The Princess
lying on her back and
the Knight on top of and facing her.)
Power was chosen because it has a very Devotional Sex twist as to who has the power.
Most people would probably think that in this position it is the male who is dominant in this position. He has the power to control how fast and deep his Desire enters her Pleasure. With normal sex this is a position of male power.
The first twist of the power dynamic with Devotional Sex is that the Princess can (only if she wants, but also whenever she wants) tell her Knight how he should move. If, for example, she tells him to do slow and long strokes, then her Knight has lost his power to control the sexual dance. When the Princess directs her Knight how to move, both become aware that the Joy is about pleasing the Princess, and it is the Princess who has the power.
With Devotional Sex a Knight must always be careful not to Climax during Joy (unless his Princess wants him to). Male Climax is very easy to achieve in the Power position, and so in this position a Knight must take particular care to control his actions whenever he feels close to loosing control. Even when a Princess has not given her Knight any directions, he is still very aware of his Princess's power to control his Climax.
One way of making it easier for the Knight not to Climax during Joy is to make a rule that he never Climaxes in certain positions. This trains him, and his Desire, not to Climax in these `forbidden´ positions. Over time the Knight will find that in these `forbidden´ positions it becomes easier and easier to not feel close to Climax.
I recommend that a Knight should learn to never Climax in the Cuddle, Ride, Rest or Deep positions. (This is only a recommendation - Devotee couples are free to discover what works best for them.) This leaves the Power position as the only recommended position for a Knight to enjoy a Climax during Joy.
In Devotional Sex the high erotic energy of the Knight is balanced by the Princess having power to control the Devotees sexual and sensual activities. This power is maintained by her controlling when her Knight can Climax. One time when a Princess really feels her power is when she says to her Knight "Cum now".
Especially if the only position in which the Knight will be allowed to Climax during Joy is the Power position, then the use of the word power to describe this position in Devotional Sex has nothing to do with male power - the position has this name because it represents Princess power!
Joy Cuddle for Joy in the `spoon´ position.
(The
Princess on her side, facing away from
her Knight, and with the
Knight on his side facing
her, and entering her
from behind.)
This position is the least active position for Joy, and it is also the most cuddly.
Near the end of sexual activity a Devotee couple may often use this position as a nice way to cuddle while still enjoying Joy. If the Princess tells her Knight to "be still", his erection will eventually go down while still inside her. So the Joy Cuddle slowly becomes just a cuddle.
Hence cuddle is a very good word to describe this position.
Joy Ride for Joy with the Knight lying on his back and the Princess sitting on top of him.
In this position the Princess is riding her Knight, so the word ride is a good description of the position.
Joy Rest for Joy with the Knight lying on his back, and the Princess facing him and lying (resting) on top of him.
This position is usually enjoyed when the Princess who is Riding her Knight lies down for a rest, hence the choice of the word rest.
Of course this position is not always just restful, and it can be very stimulating if both or either Devotees move their hips.
Joy Deep for Joy in the `doggy´ position.
(The Princess on her
hands and knees, and the Knight
entering her from
behind.)
The
word doggy is very descriptive, but it does not feel, to me, an
appropriate word to use within Devotional Sex. The ancient Roman name for this position was `the lioness´. This is more noble than doggy, but this even more than the word doggy conjures up a picture of male aggression (if you watch lions mate, the male is often very aggressive, and sometimes even bites the lioness's neck).
As this position enables deeper entry than most other positions, I decided to use the word deep to describe the position.
Joy Sit for Joy with the Knight sitting up, and with the Princess facing him and sitting on top of him.
This name is just descriptive of the position.
