You don’t need complicated and advanced rope skills to have an amazing scene!
The rope work in this BTS scene is easy and the only other this 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.

For some of us, there is nothing so powerful as the gift of a partner that wants us--and wants us to take control of them. There are thousands of ways that you can show this desire to your partner, but one way that can be a lot of fun around gift-giving holidays and birthdays is to wrap yourself up as a gift.
In this tutorial, we go through one way of doing this, adding layer after layer of easy bondage techniques that many people can self-tie. Every layer works independentl...

Shout out to all our friends for whom English is not the language they best understand!
A while ago I asked whether we should look in to going multi-lingual. The vote was split between "don't bother, English is so common as a first or second language it shouldn't be necessary" and "it would definitely be helpful, but Google Translate is not good enough; translations need to be done by native speakers"
So after a bunch of research (thanks Kaysea!), some testing and some plann...

Hi All,
I have added a new feature for BTS and Vid-level members. If you have a Discord account, you can join TheDuchy server and have a more interactive place to ask questions or share successes ... or failures ;)
Links will be sent to new members after the first of each month. If you are BTS or Vid and didn't get an invite, PM me and I will get you one.
I hope you find it a valuable new benefit!
Best,

The Gravity Boot is a Single Column tie for a person’s ankles with the unique property that the force comes out of the bottom of the foot directly in line with the ankle, instead of off to the side as with other Single Column techniques.
This is related to the Gravity Boot Single Column, but is different in that the...

Something just for you BTS and Video-level members!
There is an amazing amount that you can do with nothing but Single Columns and something to anchor them to. Here is a great example of that!

Hi All,
When I did the shibari examples for the last few tutorials, I realized that I had never actually put out a tutorial on the Square Knot Single Column. If you have ever heard a rigger say something like “Start with a 'Single Column'” and not qualify the name more specifically like “Lark’s Head Single Column”, this is probably what he or she was talking about.
This is p...

Hello all you wonderful kinksters!
Grab your partners and your cameras! Today we launch two new contests, but focusing on using a single pole. It can be bamboo, pipe, whatever, but just a single pole. (We will do a contest for frames in a few weeks, so if you want to be planning for that and doing your shooting now, go for it!)
I have been thinking for awhile about offering multiple languages on TheDuchy. We have members from all over the globe. Some of you have even asked about translations or have graciously offered to help do translations so that we can offer words from native speakers and are not at the mercy of AI.
So... What do you think? Would this be of value to you or those you know?
Vote your thoughts ... and feel free to comment wildly as well!
(You can vote for more th...

How do you connect a Bamboo pole or a pipe to two overhead anchor points so that you can use it as a broad hard point for dynamic suspension? Is there a suspension friction that works particularly well on broad hard points like bamboo/pipe/branch?
Here are two new tutorials with 3 videos and 220 new pictures to get you set up for suspensions using horizontal poles of bamboo!
O.M.G. This one took a LOT to put together. Hashira Shibari – tying your partner to vertical beam (post, pole, tree, whatever) – is a big topic! There are many, many concepts and possibilities to explore. It took hours of research and contemplation just to figure out how I wanted to present everything. But even though I could not do everything I wanted (I couldn’t shoot one of the videos I want to shoot because of COVID), what we have for you today can give you the keys to lite...

Today’s tutorial covers a few ideas for bondage using a single pole of bamboo (or anything else). We cover a few ideas for a yoke and one for the elbows.
This is the next in a series of several posts on incorporating bamboo (sticks, poles, whatever..) into your bondage scenes:
Today’s tutorial covers how to attach your partner to a pole or frame of bamboo (or anything else). I thought this was going to be an easy tutorial to build, but there are so many ways to do this, I ended up with a tutorial that includes 14 different techniques and including over 200 pictures. Oof.
