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 ...

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 f...

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.

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:

• Some Intermediate are free, but most of them are ...

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 ...

Relaying some info from Patreon

Hi All,

Apparently Patreon is changing their payment gateway provider for sites that have adult content like TheDuchy.  They are switching to a provider in the UK instead of in the U.S., which may impact payments this month, depending on the policies of your bank.  

Patreon sent this out in case you see anythin...

It's been a heck a month.  I began the Odyssey of building out material on suspensions and it snowballed.  Every time I think through and research a topic, a couple more topics seem to pop up--like an intellectual hydra.
