Guy Baldwin, M.S. (b. 1946) is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist,author, activist, and educator specializing in issues of particular relevance to the BDSM and leather communities, and more generally in issues relating to non-heteronormative practices. He maintains that inclusion of non-injurious elements of sadomasochism (bondage, flagellation, domination, submission and others) in a consenting sexuality does not itself indicate or confirm mental illness or psycho-sexual dysfunction.
He is co-founder with Race Bannon[1] of an internet-based professional referral resource, the Kink Aware Professionals list (KAP list),[2] now administered by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. He continues to teach at various lifestyle events across the U.S. and Canada.
He has written three books, as well as numerous articles for such magazines as Drummer Magazine, Frontiers, Checkmate, International Leatherman, and The Leather Journal.[3][4][5]
