If you’ve been wondering how you can safely (and consensually) tie up a partner, you’ve come to the right place! The Duchy provides high-quality bondage tutorials for everyone from the newly curious to more experienced riggers and even bondage educators.

If you’re new to the world of rope, welcome! I’ll explain a little of what we do here, and direct you to the best place to start.

But first, a quick reassurance: Being interested in rope bondage is not weird. In fact, it is surprisingly common.

Rope bondage, also commonly called “Shibari”, has been practiced by artists and kinksters for many years. And I promise, we’re perfectly normal people… who just happen to enjoy tying each other up.

Before you consider going out and grabbing some rope, you will need to spend some time learning about rope, what you can do with it, and safety protocols involved. This will help you and your partner practice in a way that’s enjoyable for everyone.
