Guy Baldwin is an internationally recognized author, educator, and elder voice within the Leather and BDSM communities. Active since the early 1970s, he is widely respected for his work on consensual power exchange, Master/slave dynamics, and the ethical exercise of authority within Leather relationships.

He is the author of several foundational works, including Ties That Bind, Slavecraft, and Diary of a Slave. Through decades of teaching at major Leather and BDSM conferences worldwide, Baldwin has emphasized communication, self-awareness, accountability, and the principle that authority is earned through conduct rather than assumed by title.
