Lee Harrington (he/they) is a spiritual and erotic authenticity educator, gender explorer, eclectic artist, and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. He brings a combination of playful engagement and thoughtful academic dialogue to a broad audience, and they believe we are each beautifully complex ecosystems who deserve to examine the human experience from that lens.

Guy Baldwin, a California licensed psychotherapist in private practice for 41 years, has been an active participant in, and a thoughtful observer and commentator on, the American Leather scene since the late 1960’s.

For nearly four decades, Baldwin has crisscrossed the continent teaching audiences of erotic adventurers how to have less trouble doing, and more fun exploring ‘outside-the-box’ sexualities.
An acclaimed speaker, he has delivered keynote addresses at lifestyle events too numerous to list here.

In 1989, judges chose Baldwin to serve as the 11th International Mister Leather (IML). Weeks earlier, judges made him the second Mr. National Leather Association. He is the only man to have held both titles concurrently. 
Mark Thompson, a senior editor at The Advocate, included Baldwin and 15 other “Writers, Healers, Teachers and Visionaries” in his 1994 book, Gay Soul. Guy has published three books, and authored numerous essays in a wide array of lifestyle publications. Now in it’s fourth printing, and recently made available as an ebook, SlaveCraft has long been required reading for those who feel turbo-charged by the voluntary inclusion of Authority in their erotic and romantic relationships. 
Mr. Baldwin’s lifetime of service has been marked by many accolades over the years including the Pantheon of Leather Lifetime Achievement Award, the Tom of Finland Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award. (Guy Baldwin was even immortalized in a drawing by Tom himself.) Guy was inducted into the Leather Hall of Fame in 2012 and also into The Society of Janus’ Hall of Fame. In 2000, the Leather Archives & Museum named Guy a “Centurion” thereby acknowledging him as one of the twenty most important contributors to the Leather lifestyle in the 20th Century. In 2008, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) awarded him the Leather Leadership Award, and then in 2009 he was the very first recipient of the Master/slave Heritage Award.

With Guy Baldwin you never know precisely what you’re going to get, but one thing is for sure, as a lifelong activist, a pioneer of radical sexuality, and a seeker of clarity, he never fails to challenge listeners by fearlessly speaking truth exactly as he has discovered it.

I am a reformed journalist, a writer and an alternative sexuality educator. I have been practicing kink for over 30 years now and Ayzad is the pseudonym under which in 2004 I wrote BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism, where I collected everything I had learned from my studies of a truly endless topic. That manual became a continuously updated best seller, starting collaborations with sexologists and scholars who drew me to extend my research to every form of unusual sexuality.

The results include five other books so far (four of them currently available in Italian only, sorry!), a podcast, a radio show, two video series, countless lectures and teaching collaborations. Today, education to ethical kink is my full-time job. Among my attempts to make the world a nicer place I also launched The Sexual Explorers Manifesto initiative, and I am a coach helping people solve their unusual sexuality issues.

Ayzad.com was born to collect and share my daily discoveries about the lesser-known aspects of sex, to have fun together and – as it always happens with these things – to better know ourselves. It is apparently working, given that I was listed among the world’s best sex bloggers. Enjoy!
