Education

After completing his undergraduate degree at Colorado State University in 1966 he taught English for three years in the Los Angeles Public School System. From teaching, he returned to learning, and enrolled in Boston University where, in 1970 he received a Master’s degree. Rubel was accepted into a Ford Foundation sponsored program at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Education. He was among 16 graduate students in a program to train to be urban school superintendents. In 1977, Rubel received a doctorate degree in Education with a minor in Criminology. In 1976, Rubel received a visiting fellowship from the National Institute of Justice to document the literature and history of school-based crime and violence.

Career

In 1977, Robert Rubel and Peter Blauvelt founded the National Alliance for Safe Schools (NASS). The NASS did two things: first, it helped school district administrators identify patterns of unwanted behaviors in their secondary schools; second, it helped individual schools or entire districts to modify policies and/or practices to address such behavior.

From 1986 to 1988, Rubel was the Administrator for the American Association of Woodturners.

In 2001, Rubel began researching in the field of alternative sexuality. He wrote a series of books on alternative sexuality, and “authority transfer” dynamics. In 2007, Rubel joined the North American and international lecture circuit, speaking on a variety of topics related to the field of alternative sexuality. From 2007 to 2008, Rubel edited the Power Exchange Books Resource Series and its associated Power Exchange Magazine. In 2009, his book, Squirms, Screams, and Squirts: Handbook for going from great sex to extraordinary sex was picked by Playboy Online as their number one gift book recommendation for Valentine’s Day. in 2009, Penthouse Forum mentioned the same book for their 2009 Valentine’s issue.

Awards

Rubel was the recipient of the 2008 Pantheon of Leather XVIII — Community Choice – Man.
