The Inescapable

There is a type of rope bottom called an “eel” … a person that likes to be tied up, but also really likes to try to escape.  And believe it or knot, many common ties are actually quite escapable.  Another believe it or not:  Most eels are quietly disappointed when they are able to escape.  They test their bonds to prove to themselves that they are well and truly caught, and when they are … well … therein lays their deepest pleasure.  Not all though, some are...

New tutorials to vote for!

This month we released the Curves Ahead TK, to join the Curves Ahead Drum Harness, thus giving you a few more options where you need to distribute pressure across a wider area

The 'Curves Ahead' TK!

This variation on the Takate Kote or Gote Shibari is great for people who, for whatever reason, would prefer a wider bands around the arms.  It prevents those extra cords from getting all bunched up together! When you make the strap(s) wider, you spread the force across a more area and make the harness more comfortable for floor bondage or suspension.

Check out the  'Curves Ahead' TK!

Drum Harnesses!

Yes, Two!

I have posted an updated version of the classic Drum Harness and have added the "Curves Ahead" Drum Harness as well! 

These are attention-getting waist harnesses features a zig-zag pattern that helps distribute pressure across a greater area.  They wonderfully accentuate the hips--if your part...

New Tutorial: BTS - Angelic Suffering

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.

One of our members wrote me this week suggesting that more material showing how the various ties, even simple ones could be used to have a great scene.  It was a perfect question!  The core tutorials are all about the technique of just doing that...

Tutorials ...by topic, difficulty, or unlock cost

The vote on simplifying went down to keeping things as they, but with lots of great suggestions on increasing the transparency.  So I have kept things generally the same, but have added a label and a new way to filter your content.  

Now, when you go to the "Learn Rope Bondage" dropdown, you will see some new options:

Should I simplify?

Over the past few months, I have had a few people send me messages or quite Patreon because they find the fee structure to be too complex.  Should I simplify?

I currently have things set up so that:

• All Core Knowledge and Easy tutorials are free
• Some Intermediate are free, but most of them are unlocked at the $3 level
• Some Advanced are unlocked at $3, and all of them are unlocked at $5 

My theory was that this would allow people at one...

The January Snowball Effect

The polar vortex has split and the frozen North has become more frozen, so of course(!) my plans for this month sort of "snowballed" on me.

My original plan for this month was to release tutorials on the Spiral Futomomo and the 3TK.  ...But when I started the 3TK, I realized that I really needed to update the 2TK as well.  So, I got that done too.  ...Then I realized that some people might like to have a really close-up tutorial on X Frictions, Square F...

December & 2018 Wrap-up

While TheDuchy has been around since 2000, 2018 was the first year we have made a go of actively building a community and gathering your support for the project.  And what a year it has been!  Thousands of people from across the world have joined us to learn and to guide how TheDuchy has grown.  As I have said so many times, (and will say many times in the future), I am deeply grateful to every one of you.

So let's have a few more things to wrap up 2018!
