Dr.
Gary Schubach is a sex educator, lecturer and writer. His overall perspective
is that our society does not teach people the necessary interpersonal
relationship skills nor do people acquire this information naturally.
Most people have the desire to know more about sexuality and how to relate
successfully with another human being and create mutually satisfying relationships.
His view is that, in most cases, so-called sexual "problems" are a result
of learning deficits rather than as a result of psychological conflicts
that can be treated with the current models in mental health. In other
words, given what most people are taught about sexuality in school, by
their families and peers, their anxieties and difficulties are absolutely
reasonable and understandable.
It
is his purpose to foster a more open and honest public dialogue about
sexual issues so that individuals and couples will have sufficient information
upon which to make their own unique choices as to the kind of sexual relationships
and activities that are appropriate to them. He believes that it is every
person's right to have a satisfying and fulfilling sex life as long as
that practice does not infringe upon the rights of others.
It is his opinion
that the best time to begin education of people in human sexuality is
at an early age, providing the information to children that is appropriate
to their learning and developmental levels. Recognizing the difficulty
of creating curriculum in the public schools that will be acceptable to
the values and beliefs of everyone, he is committed to using emerging
technologies to create sexual education programs that have the flexibility
for parents to determine which lessons and values are appropriate for
their children.
Also, he believes
that it is crucial that persons in the helping professions, such as physicians,
nurses, psychologists, counselors,
therapists and educators be properly trained in all aspects of human sexuality
so that they can knowledgeably and effectively work with the people whom
they serve. Therefore, it is his purpose to create adequate training and
continuing education programs for such professionals utilizing both traditional
written materials and media and other advanced communication modalities.
It is his overall
goal to help people create sexual relationships that will allow them to
enjoy peace of mind, whatever their circumstances, to attract love and
be loved by others and to build families and communities that support
positive and nurturing relationships. To do this, it will be necessary
to replace ignorance and fear about sexuality with awareness and love
and to teach and promote skills that will allow people to live together
in dignity, respect, understanding, trust, kindness, honesty, compassion
and love.
