BDSM, KINK, and AltSex Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy
David Ortmann, co-author of the book “Sexual Outsiders: Understanding BDSM Sexualities and Communities,” has a private psychotherapy and sex therapy practice in both Manhattan and San Francisco catering to the needs of people in the Kink, Fetish, Leather, BDSM, and Erotic Powerplay communities. It is my practice to work with anyone who is suffering or on a journey of self discovery. I have comfortably worked with pedophiles, ephebophiles, zoos, nullos, and other members of the communities who have been judged harshly by other providers. I am a licensed psychotherapist in the states of California and New York, a sex therapist, educator, keynote speaker, and author. I have been recognized as one of the foremost thinkers and activists in the areas of BDSM, Kink, Fetish, and Leather sexualities, concepts and theories of masculinity, models of relationship formation, and the processes of human attachment and differentiation.
