We affirm the fundamental goodness of sexuality in human life, both as a personal need and as an interpersonal bond. We know the unhappiness and anxiety which sex-negative attitudes can engender in individuals, alienating them from their own body and the bodies of others. We know that such attitudes affect not only a person's sex life but his/her general relatedness to others as well.
Sexual well-being is more than simply being able to perform. It is also taking responsibility for one's eroticism as an integral part of one's whole personality and involvement with others. Between the extremes of total sexual repression and compulsive sexual pursuit, a person can find the unique mean which will enable him/her to discover a life of self-respect, personal enjoyment and love.
Each person is a special ensemble of dispositions and needs and his/her specialness must be respected. We avoid all arbitrary notions of "good" and "bad" or "healthy" and "unhealthy." Our aim is to provide such information, guidance and therapy as will help the individual get in touch with his/her unique sexuality, approach it realistically and responsibly, and begin on the way to an independent, growth-orientated, integral, more joyful experience of living a human body.
