ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dean Sherman is an internationally known and respected teacher and author. His book on Relationships – The key to love, sex and everything else” addresses even the most sensitive of topics and sprinkled with humour and wit. Through this message, Dean Sherman had touched thousands of lives over the past 25 years, around the world through seminars, conferences and schools.
With clarity and a sharp wit, Dean Sherman illuminates the often confusing and mysterious world of love, sex and relationships. He presents the clearest and most relevant and refreshing approach to the topic that is sorely missing from our schools and homes. He forces each person to engage in a direct discussion on the most dynamic and foundational facet of our lives. After all, if we as care givers of the young (parents, teachers, counselors or youth worker) do not address and tackle these “hot issues”, you can be sure they will learn from television, movies, books, the internet, MTV or their peers.
An extract from the book:
“I teach on love, sex and relationships because no single thing has had, is having, or will have as great an impact on any of our lives as romantic and sexual relationships.
Society knows this. The media play on the fact endlessly. Turn on the radio any time of the day or night and you will hear the same message in ninety percent of the songs.
- I thought he loved, but he left me.
- I’ve never felt this way before, I know it’s love.
- How can I get her to see me in a crowded room?
It doesn’t matter whether the song is heavy metal, pop, jazz, or country or whether it’s sung in Spanish or English, the same message is being pushed: romantic and sexual love.
Our whole culture is saturated with it. The majority of movies and television shows, books, and magazine articles are about love in some form. Teenagers rush home from school to watch TV soap operas, sitcoms, and talk shows. Will the woman tell her husband the baby she’s carrying belongs to his brother? Will the daughter find out her mother is cheating on her father? The programs are different, but the plots are alarmingly similar. If you don’t believe me, tune in to them sometime. Our culture is preoccupied with romantic and sexual relationships.
So I had to talk to those young people about relationships because they were preoccupied with the subject, and so was the culture we all lived. It’s still that way today.”
