Line 6:
Abstention can be temporary, lasting, voluntary, involuntary, quoiluntary, etc. Usually it’s associated with religion/spirituality, but there are other reasons someone could personally abstain from sex: medical, psychological, legal, social, financial, philosophical, moral, physical, ethical…
Both chastities and celibacies can be/are forms of sexual abstention/abstinence, while not all abstentions are considered celibate/chaste. Not the same as [[asexual]]ity or [[nonlibidoist]], as abstinence is behavioral, while asexuality is about feeling no [[sexual attraction]], including those with active sexual life, and [[Libidoist|libido]] is about sexual desire/drive.
The romantic equivalent is [[Romance Abstainer|romance abstainer]].
