For those of you who may be snickering at the acronym above, all I have to say is that you are clearly more current on sexual lingo than I apparently am. I had no idea what “FAP” alluded to until I recently mentioned how excited I was that there was finally going to be a professional organization to bring the former FAM network I co-founded back in the ’80s into the 21st century. . . when my friend just about lost her lunch as I told her the name: the Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals, or AFAP.
“A-what” she asked with a smirk?
“A-FAP” I meekly repeated. “What’s the problem?”
It was only then that I, purveyor of all things fertility and sexuality, apparently needed to be schooled in current terms for the finer details of, um, solitary male sexuality. If you still don’t know what I’m referring to, google it, as I obviously had to do when I first learned about it.
At any rate, all this to say that thank goodness we no longer need to rely on snail mail to transport our packed-to- the-gills, mangled manila envelopes to fellow Fertility Awareness instructors, as we did a couple decades ago when we first formed the Fertility Awareness Network. Even better, the new Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals (AFAP) has created a wonderful site in which to inquire about numerous aspects of the Fertility Awareness world, from where to take classes to how to get certified to teach. I encourage all of you to visit it.
