Taking his first step into leather and bondage over ten years ago, ty dehner found that memories were not enough and began writing about his adventures. Several of these true life experiences were published in Bound & Gagged magazine. As his experiences grew, so did his ideas and he started to write fiction. His first published work was “Skin boi”. It was well received on the internet and to this day is one of his most requested pieces.

With the explosion of the internet there were many new places to share bondage fiction. But ty found that many of the sites didn’t last and he felt there was room for something better for all of us that were into man to man bondage and gear action. In 1999, he created the online magazine Ropedweb. Over time, he published his own stories, along with fetish pictures and videos that he also wrote and directed. By the time Ropedweb came to an end in 2005 it had been viewed in 160 countries around the world.

Since his introduction as a submissive into the leather BDSM world, ty has been involved with many community activities including sponsoring the International Deaf Leather contest in Seattle, taking over the historic New World Rubbermen and donating the contents to the Leather Archives in Chicago, marching in the pride parade in Vancouver, B.C., creating exciting web sites for Dungeon on the Bay, the Jail Training Center, and Ironstar Media. ty dehner has attended many fetish events including International Mr. Leather in Chicago, Rubbout in Vancouver, B.C., Dore Alley Street Fair in San Francisco and has enjoyed meeting the many leather, rubber, sport gear fans that attend.

Through all his writing he has had one focus, to share his experiences and dreams with others in the hopes that they will step out into this exciting and creative community to become a part of it. He has always enjoyed hearing from those that enjoy his work, as well as those that share their experiences after reading his work. If that includes you, please send an email.

ty dehner continues to write in his confinement on an island off the shores of Washington.
