Look inside

Perhaps your partner brought this to you. Perhaps you're curious but unsure. The Keyholder's Handbook starts from a simple premise: you don't have to be dominant, and you don't have to enjoy every part of this. It works at whatever intensity actually suits you.

Who it's for: first-time keyholders, partners who agreed rather than asked, and anyone holding a key from a distance. Experienced keyholders will find the templates and checklists just as useful.

What it helps with: separating real responsibilities from assumed ones, setting rules that are specific and fair, keeping check-ins light, and handling pestering with one calm, reusable reply. It also gives you permission to keep your own load small, and covers infractions, rewards, long-distance arrangements, what to do when things go wrong, and release and aftercare.

Built for consenting adults. Agree a safeword or pause phrase before you begin, and release for any health concern is always allowed, whatever the plan says.

18+ only.
