Doggy Style Harness + BTS + Contest

I *love* a well-presented ass.  I imagine many of you do too.  Well, one of our members sent me a link to a Kink.com video this week asking how to do this and I couldn't resist.  

So!  Here are a few new entries:

New Feature on TheDuchy: Photo Contests!

Last month we took a vote and decided that it would be cool to add a few good examples of each tie to the tutorials so we might see how others tie it or how it might work on different body types, etc.

Well ... what better way to get great examples than having them come from all of you!?

With that in mind, I have added a new feature!  Starting from now, when I post a new tutorial, I will also post a contest and invite you to submit your pictures of that tie, a...

Gingham Thigh-highs

Hi All,

The world looks very different this month than it did last.  It is amazing to see so many people making the right choice to protect each other.   As a respectable fraction of the world's population hunkers down for a while, online is *the* major social outlet for many.  Site traffic to TheDuchy has gone up 50% in a month (just site traffic, not patrons)!  

So, for all of you amazing people who support TheDuchy, here is something just for you, desig...

Would you be interested in live interactive events?

Humans are social creatures.  So, as we collectively attempt to do what we can to #flattenthecurve by social distancing -- or are flat-out subject to a government-mandated quarantine -- we are going to need to rely on our other social tools  to meet those needs that we all have for human contact and social stimulation.

So ... I have been thinking for awhile about offering a li...

The Sweetheart Hip Harness - TheDuchy

Hello Everyone!  

Many people around the world are doing some self-imposed social distancing to try to help #flattenthecurve.   If you happen to be lucky enough to be with someone you can practice with, here is new harness to try!

Here is a sweet little hip harness developed by Kaysea!   It features a lovely little heart in the front and a number of fun and alluring options for thigh cuffs.  2020-03-16 16:04:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Exercises for Bondage & Poll Results

The results of last week's poll are in and the the results are overwhelmingly in favor of allowing example images.  But people generally preferred the balance of having the example images inside of a labeled fold so that a person can choose to check them out or not.  Totally cool!  I will start doing that from time to time.   We may not have an example pic for each tie, but we will do so when it makes sense.

Next, Kathryn joins us for two more videos this week t...

New BTS Tutorials: Low Frames

This tutorial is in the BTS ("Behind the Scene") section, and this one features nudity, which is not everyone's thing, so I didn't include a picture with this post.  Proceed only if you are OK pornographic nudity.

Here are two more very intense scenes that use only easy ties!  These two do also require anchor points to the side and above, but if you have a l...

Stretching for Box Ties!

Many of you have reached out to ask what to do to be more comfortably in a box tie (TK, etc) or even to build toward being able to get your elbows closer together.  The trick to being able to do any strict arms-behind-the-back tie like that is proper shoulder position and flexibility.

Farewell 2019!

Bed/Mattress Bondage - TheDuchy

There are many very cool positions that you can try with your partner of if you have a number of anchor points around your bed. But what if you don’t have a bed frame that you can tie to? This is a common problem in hotels where they often design their head boards and bed frames explicitly so that nothing can be tied to them! In this case, you may want to create your own anchor points.  Here are a few ways to do that!

Riffing with Rope to create a Breast Cage - TheDuchy

Hi All!

I have just released two tutorials that demonstrate how you can create your own patterns and ties so you are not -- a'hem -- bound ... to using only the patterns you have learned from others.

The first tutorial, Building Blocks – Junctions, shows the common options you have when two ropes cross each other, which to pick depending on which direction you want your rope to g...

TheDuchy was down temporarily on Sunday evening. It is now up and running again.

Hi All,

We have grow so much over the last year that I am having to have more disk space added to my hosting.  This was supposed to be complete before the weekend, but apparently they are just doing it now. Bad timing considering I just released a new post.  #infuriating

This tutorial focuses on the application of easy bondage techniques.  This time to bind your partner to a chair with their legs up.  Depending on their flexibility and how strict (tight) you make the leads, they can still thrash quite a bit, but they can still be quite restricted ... and be quite entertaining as they move...

Is your login more stable?

I upgraded our Patreon support and did some other things that I am told should make your login more persistent so you don't have to re-login as often.  (This does not yet make login easier, I am still working with the author to help resolve that.)

But I want to see if there is any improvement with what I have done so far:

Possible Patreon improvement, slipped Somerville Bowline & the Redmayne Strap-on

Hi All,

A few updates:

I installed an upgraded version of the Patreon Plugin and have worked with its author to see why we have been having such trouble with it.  We are by no means at the end of our journey--many more improvements need to be made--but it *should* now be better at retaining that you have logged in.  (I will put out a survey asking what you are seeing.)

How should I improve TheDuchy?

Hi Everyone,

Summer project time!  I am planning to revamp some elements of TheDuchy over the course of the summer, in preparation for offering an App version (more on that later).

So this is an open question to you:  If I am overhauling the site, what would you see improved?  What has been bothering you about how it works?  What features would you like to see added?  How do we get better, easier to use, more useful, etc.?

Temporary site trouble

Hi All,

One of the plug-ins that I use for TheDuchy had an update that really messed up the site. 🤬

I contacted the support agents for my hosting company and they are working to restore the site from a back up. They tell me they are working on it with priority, but they also say it may take a full day, maybe two, to get things fully working again. ☹️

I apologize that this is happening, but we should hopefully be up and running again shortly.

In the meantime, y...
