A message from our Executive Director, Emily Prior, on the passing of Jay Wiseman. A big name in the sexuality education and BDSM worlds. He will be missed.
Photo of Jay Wiseman and two of his book's covers, SM101 and Basic Rope bondage at the top of the page. 

With white text on black background:

Jay Wiseman, author, teacher, community organizer, former EMT, expert witness, and most importantly friend to many, passed yesterday, September 7, 2026. From what I understand, he had some complications following some major surgeries, and passed peacefully within a short amount of time. The condolences of friends, family, and the larger communities he was a part of have been pouring in from many sources. If you are on FetLife, more information about services and support can be found there.
 
I met Jay about two decades ago, give or take a few years, while in San Francisco studying sexuality during a special summer session held at SFSU. He was friends with a close friend who asked Jay to “watch out for me” while I was in the city on my own for 6 weeks. Jay and I met for lunch and became fast friends, talking about so many topics, including his writing, my research interests, and the local and larger BDSM and polyamorous communities we intersected with. Jay was warm, welcoming, highly intelligent, and somewhat dorky and nerdy (aren’t we all?). It was clear that he cherished his communities and spent most of his adult life supporting the communities and individuals within them as best as he could.
 
Many of us also know that he was sometimes controversial in his views and perspectives. We also know he was an author and mentor, and taught a variety of classes from bondage to CPR and first aid to bar exam prep. His main focus was always on safety and he valued human life.
 
Jay will be missed although he leaves an amazing legacy behind.
