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. 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.

In 1982 Baldwin created a database of professionals who knew about and were not prejudiced against kink and BDSM. It is now managed by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as the Kink And Poly Professionals Directory.[1][2]

Baldwin has written three books, as well as numerous articles for such magazines as Drummer, Frontiers, Checkmate, International Leatherman, and The Leather Journal.[3][4][5]

He is openly gay.[6]

Leather titles

In 1989, Baldwin held two leather titles: Mr. National Leather Association[7] and International Mr. Leather.[8] He is the only person to have held these two titles in the same year.
