Ian Turner (a.k.a. black) is a Canadian Top who lives in Toronto.

He is fond of floggers, signal whips, clothespins, abrasion, and other twisted activities. He is also well known as a bootblack.

Ian has engaged in SM since the mid-1970's, and became involved in the organized leather community in 1992. He is a member of Delta International, and was on Delta's Board of Directors for three years, including two years as Chairman. He is an associate member of Chicago Hellfire Club and The 15 Association. He helps facilitate the Leather/SM/Fetish Coming Out Group, a Toronto support group for gay men new to the scene. During the mid-1990’s, he was Male Co-Chair of the now-defunct National Leather Association Toronto Chapter.

At the 1998 Mr. Leatherman Toronto Competition, Ian received the Courtlan Forsey Memorial Award for contributions of lasting significance to the leather/SM community. In 2001, he won the Canadian Award at Pantheon of Leather. In November 2001, he won the title Bootblack Toronto 2002 at the Mr. Leatherman Toronto Competition.

As black the bootblack, he was collared for 3½ years to Master Barry. Since Master Barry’s untimely death at his home in Chicago in April 2005, Ian has semi-retired from bootblacking and concentrates on the Top side of his personality.

He is a retired data-processing manager.
