Lee Harrington is an American author, educator, speaker, and internationally recognised BDSM instructor whose work has helped expand contemporary discussions of Leather culture, power exchange, rope bondage, spirituality, identity, and conscious sexuality. Since the late 1990s, Harrington has taught workshops throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, becoming one of the most prolific educators within the international kink community. His writing combines practical instruction with cultural history, psychological reflection, and personal development, encouraging readers to approach BDSM as an evolving practice rooted in communication, consent, self-awareness, and continual learning. Harrington's work frequently bridges traditional Leather values with contemporary understandings of gender diversity, relationship structures, and embodied experience.

His interdisciplinary approach has made him one of the most influential voices in modern BDSM education, particularly among readers seeking to integrate technical knowledge with personal growth and community engagement.
