The dictionary defintion of abstinence is shown to be restraining though this website is focusing on sex restraint. Sexual abstinence is restraining from sex until marriage. Though there are many reasons to be abstinent, it is not easy to practice it. Not having sex goes against the natural human instinct, which makes self-control a huge part of being abstinent. Abstinence is practiced to prevent negative outcomes for yourself in the future and also to prevent emotional distress. It is also practiced through some religious beliefs, particularly Christianity. Abstinence is becoming more popular today and is the only 100% effective form of birth control and STD preventative.
