Guy Baldwin, M.S. 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 in a consenting sexuality does not itself indicate or confirm mental illness or psycho-sexual dysfunction.

He has written three books, as well as numerous articles for such magazines as Drummer Magazine, Frontiers, Checkmate, International Leatherman, and The Leather Journal.
