The Quiet command
The Knight must stop talking about anything to do with Devotional Sex (can be said as "be Quiet").
A Princess has power over all aspects of the Devotional couples' sexual and sensual life, and this includes talking about it. While good communication is an essential part of Devotional Sex, this does not mean that every time a Knight wants to talk his Princess wants to listen.
The Quiet command can be used by a Princess at any time to stop the Knight from talking about any Devotional Sex related issue.
She may sometimes need to be a bit assertive when using this command. Usually just repeating the command several times and saying nothing else will do the trick.
The Quiet command can be used to bring to a halt any negotiation. In this case she is using her Princess Power both to end the negotiation and to get her wish on the issue being negotiated. If it is within the Knight's limits, then he must obey.
Of course the Quiet command cannot be used to avoid immediate discussion about a limit, or to ignore the use of a safe word.
As well as being used during sensual and sexual activities, a Princess may find it very useful to use this command during normal life. During dinner, while shopping together, or when on a drive are just some of the times a Knight might want to talk about Devotional Sex, and when his Princess may prefer to defer talk to another time.
Note that a Princess should never use this command to prevent an issue from ever being discussed. Rather the command should be used to control the timing of the discussion.
