Hello everyone
We are getting closer to the beta testing of the new & improve mobile device user experience (UX) on TheDuchy!
We had hoped to open the beta this week but the team is still working a few things. When they are done, we will be inviting members to the beta test.
We have continued to update & refresh the core knowledge tutorials -- those found in 2021-11-05 17:19:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello everyone - We have some exciting news!
Over the past few weeks, we have been working with a development team to improve the user experience (UX) for people visiting TheDuchy via mobile devices.
This will include:
This decorative, open, 2-part box tie & body harness is my take on a very cool design by hua hua!
This tutorial shows 3 ways of achieving the same look at different levels of experience and skill. We wanted to demonstrate that there are often many ways to achieve very similar ends. You have likely heard the phrase “There is no ‘One true way’.” This tutorial is a great example of that!
Also included: Bonus material taking...

What tutorial should we do next? Go to TheDuchy and cast your vote!
The picture with the highest number of votes by Sept 19 will be the next member-selected tutorial!
Notes:
This atmospheric harness is surprisingly straight-forward to tie!
It can be a great option for people who have difficulty putting their arms behind their back. It is also a great way to practice your Crossing Hitches :)
This is actually 4 tutorials:

The Agura is the name for the class of ties that keep your partner in a cross-legged position.
This tutorial shows a few simple versions, demonstrating different variations on tying the legs or wrapping the ropes around the waist. These are relatively easy to self-tie.
This version is not appropriate for suspension. It does not feature appropriate distribution of force or locking of bands. (T...
2021-07-23 19:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone,
I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand, Florida, and Kansas. If you live in one of those places, you should see a small amount of t...

The Barre Harness

This simple but attractive chest harness is composed of a series of horizontal wraps that are later connected by vertical components running down the outside of the chest.

In this tutorial, I am experimenting with a suggestion made by our members on Discord. I’d like your feedback:

Hello all you wonder people!
I have been talking with a number of app and web developers, brainstorming on how to improve the experience for TheDuchy on mobile devices. There are a number of ways we can go, from refining how the webpage itself works and tuning that more for mobile, up through creating a native mobile app. There are benefits and limitations to each.
The reason I am even thinking about going down this road is that a number of you have asked for a way to view t...

Three new full tutorials:
Learn building blocks from which you can pick and choose to create many types and styles of rope bra!
This tutorial was a beast to design! After considering a whole series of tutorials showing the specifics of how to do each pattern, I eventually decided to take a step back and talk about this in the form of building blocks. I hope you enjoy! Jump in and get creative! It will be gre...

This is a straight-forward accessible hogtie suspension and torment session. This requires is an overhead hard point. You could do something like this if you have exposed beams or columns in your attic or basement.

Here is a technique for making a String Bikini (or Two-String Bikini) with rope! You can custom-fit this for a particular person, or tie it to work for a variety of people. Once you create it, it can be removed intact and reused at a later time. This tutorial inclu...

This lovely design is another that comes from the delightfully artistic mind of Kaysea! You can see her original vision on her IG. At its core, this is just a clever arrangement of simple twists and Cow Hitches.
One last entry in our Armbinder series!
The Mayfly Armbinder uses the “Mayfly” concept of opposing tension, which creates a lovely diamond effect between your partner’s arms. We create inline cuffs, “Hojo Cuffs”, around the forearms and then the opposite upper arm, creating a zig-zag, then go down the opposite way to form diamonds. If your partner tries to move one arm, it pulls on the other. Fu...

Flogger Forge Update
I have just created a new tool for Flogger Forge!
Now you can download a spreadsheet that will calculate the amount of rope you need, pretty much automating the consumption tables… This makes it easier to know just how much rope you need so you don't under- or over-estimate!

Hi Everyone!
After taking a bit of a hiatus on this, I want to start offering contests again!
Hopefully the enthusiastic response to the TK-Style Armbinder means that many of you will want to take part in the new Photo Contest!
Hi Everyone,
I am testing a new type of post display that will hopefully allow people to more quickly find what they are looking for by being able to apply multiple filters at the same time. Once we get things worked out, I can then replace several different pages that sort content in different ways, with just one page.

Happy New Year!
We are going to start off the new year with a series of tutorials on various types of Armbinders!
I LOVE the sexy, trapped, chest-presented look of a person in a tight armbinder, and I am sure many of you do, too! This can be a challenging position though, so I will be doing a few tutorials showing different variants that can be used depending a person’s flexibility.

Hi All,
I hope you had a great holiday season! Just a quick heads-up that I will be making a few changes to the sight as we enter 2021. All the same content will be there, but I will be shifting things around organizationally, with a goal of making things easier, reducing duplication, etc.
I am also rethinking how we do our voting. What we tried in 2020 was interesting as it made the roadmap very clear, but the down side was that the order of new tutorials got se...
