Overview

Sexual abstinence is the practice of not engaging in sexual intercourse. The most common reasons for doing this are contraception (i.e. preventing procreation), and preventing the transmission of sexually-transmitted diseases.

• Some groups suggest that sexual abstinence should be taught and promoted as the best (or only) method of contraception; such groups are generally described as pro-abstinence. Many of these groups also seem to be anti-sex-education, as they do not wish any other methods of contraception to be taught or promoted.
