Gary Schubach-Curriculum Vitae
Perspective
As a sex educator, lecturer and writer, my 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. It is every person’s right to have a fulfilling sex life as long as that practice does not infringe upon the rights of others.
In most cases, so-called sexual “problems” are a result of learning deficits rather than 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.
Objectives
- 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
- to help people create sexual relationships that will allow them to enjoy peace of mind, whatever their circumstances
- to teach people how to attract love and be loved by others and how to build families and communities that support positive and nurturing relationships
- to replace ignorance and fear about sexuality with awareness and knowledge
- to teach and promote skills that will allow people to live together in dignity, respect, understanding, trust, kindness, honesty, compassion and love
