Career
In 1977, Robert Rubel and Peter Blauvelt founded the National Alliance for Safe Schools (NASS). The NASS looked for ways to prevent crimes committed by students in public schools. The NASS conducted school security audits in urban school districts. Until 1992, NASS was a research and technical assistance affiliate of the National Association of School Safety and Law Enforcement Officials (NASSLEO).

In 1992, Rubel resigned to begin working in another field. Peter Blauvelt took over as Chief Staff Officer.

In 2001, Rubel began study 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 his chosen topic. 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.
