Alex Lindsay

Who am I and what am I doing here?!

Alex is originally from New York, New York, but currently calls Los Angeles home. He has been involved in the leather community in various ways for almost twenty years, going back to his introduction to BDSM through GMSMA classes. It was there that he discovered a love of flogging, which to this day is still one of his favorite BDSM activities, both as a bottom and as a top.

He moved to San Francisco, California in 1994 where he met the Leather Daddies and his partner of 14 years (and now husband) Loren Berthelsen. Together they have produced the West Coast Rubber contest and events for five years. Alex has also been involved with a variety of organizations in southern California. His appreciation of fetish is reflected not just in his involvement in the rubber scene, but also as member and current Deputy Chief of the Los Angeles Division of the California Boots & Breeches Corps. He also is a Deputy Member of the Regiment of the Black & Tans, and holds the title of Mr. Regiment 2009. He has been a member of Avatar Los Angeles for a number of years, assisting with the production of dungeon parties, and always a willing participant and presenter for the club's public meetings. He is also currently serving as President of the SoCal Bondage Club. This past year he had the honor of being nominated for a Pantheon Award in the category of Community Choice (Men).

He is also the founder of the OpenKink project, promoting openness and education about kink and sexuality.
