query: What is sexual abstinence or sexual restraint?
answer: Sexual abstinence or restraint is the practice of refraining from some or all aspects of sexual activity for various reasons, including medical, psychological, legal, social, financial, philosophical, moral, or religious reasons.  It's different from asexuality, a sexual orientation where individuals don't feel sexual attraction, and celibacy, abstinence motivated by personal or religious beliefs.
