Long overdue update, after about 7 months of combining Emperor and Khan in some form(either q versions or part of a custom) with some primal/sm aside.
Overall I’ve run emperor(since V1 heh) in some form for about 2 years and Khan for about 1 year.
KHAN + Emperor thoughts
Women: I think this part was driven by Khan, based on my previous experiences with Emperor and Khan
- Ruthless bastrard. I kicked every woman out of my life at the first sign of playing games or looking uninterested. No interest in getting to finding out about her strugles, issues bla bla. My agenda is all that matters. I think this is a great mindset for creating a group of short term fuckbuddies
- Loved by my main girlfriend. I stand by my previous review of Khan: whenever I run Khan, something happens with her. She’s telling me repeatedly how in love is with me, how good I look. This is defnintely not happening when I run Emperor alone
- Dominant in bed. No need to say more, but with this combo I did start to get into bondage stuff quite alot. Without Khan I do get some “I don’t do this [yet]”, but never with Khan
- Overall it was a good experience, I do prefer the Khan alone one
Drive: washout between Emperor and Khan
- this was really confusing and it’s a bit hard to pin-point it. it was like “yeah, let’s do it” and “we’ll do it later, that’s fine”
- not a good experience, I prefer Emperor alone
Productvity: same as drive. a good ol’ mediocre “meh”
Physical: driven by Emperor
- sometimes struggled to do my daily workout, but did it anyway
- sometimes I broke my fasting regime (never with Emperor alone)
- ok experience overall, I prefer Emperor alone
Communication: washout between Emperor and Khan
- overall good, energetic communication style. Not the enthusiastic, passionate Emperor style, nor the laid back, unphased, extremely rational Kahn style
- I ABSOLUTELY WANT THE KHAN WAY, FROM MY POV THAT IS THE BIGGEST GAIN I GET FROM KAHN: NOTHING GETS TO ME AND IT’S REFLECTED IN HOW I COMMUNICATE, HOW I REACT, EVERYTHING
Joyfulness: I think this is hard to evaluate just because I added Sanguine to my custom. Everything became more sunny, the more Khan alone I was running beside the custom including emperor
Conclusion: I’m going to avoid combining big titles like Emperor, Khan, Stark. I think it’s fine to use Primal, SM, PSIT in addition to those 3, but never a combination between them. Saint always suggested not to combine those 3, and I think my experience reflects that.
When combining Khan and Emperor I imagined that I’m gonna get the highlights of both. In reality I got mediocre results, when looking separately what Emperor and Khan are supposed to do: no super drive, no super chill state
Following official recommendations, I will run Khan exclusively, but with Commander on the side: 1 month of ST1 and then ST4 all the way. Maybe Emperor Fitness at some point…
