Sexual abstinence
Sexual abstinence is the practice of voluntarily refraining from sexual intercourse and (usually) other sexual activity. Persons abstaining from sex typically do so for reasons of chastity, to prevent conception, to prevent the transmission of pathogens, or due to a lack of desire to participate in sexual activity.
