People who are abstinent choose not to have sex. The official definition of abstinence includes not taking part in vaginal, anal, and oral sex. However, some people practice abstinence by only skipping one or two of those types of sexual activity.<\/p>\n

The definition of abstinence is when you don\u2019t have sex. Outercourse is other sexual activities besides vaginal sex.<\/b> Sexual abstinence and outercourse can mean different things to different people.
\nAbstinence means different things to different people. For most people, abstinence means not having sex with anyone. Sometimes people use abstinence as birth control to prevent pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Abstinence prevents pregnancy by keeping semen away from the vagina,<\/b> so the sperm cells in semen can\u2019t get to an egg and cause pregnancy. If you\u2019re abstinent 100% of the time, pregnancy can\u2019t happen.
\nPeople sometimes only use abstinence to prevent pregnancy on days they\u2019re fertile (most likely to get pregnant), but they may have vaginal sex at other times. This is called fertility-awareness.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why you might practice abstinence, including:<\/b>
\n\u2022\tNot feeling ready to have sex yet
\n\u2022\tNo birth control available
\n\u2022\tDon\u2019t want to use available birth control methods
\n\u2022\tWaiting for marriage or a special partner
\n\u2022\tRecent breakup
\n\u2022\tFocusing on work or school
\n\u2022\tPersonal or religious beliefs
\n\u2022\tMedically necessary following an illness<\/p>\n

If you practice abstinence, it\u2019s important to let a partner know. Together, you can come up with different ways to be intimate with each other.<\/p>\n

Is It Prevents All Sexually Transmitted Infections<\/h2>\n

Abstinence is also successful in preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you don\u2019t have sex, it\u2019s hard to get an STI. However, if you abstain only from one type of sex, like vaginal, but still have others, like anal or oral, you can still get an STI.<\/p>\n

Benefits Of Abstinence<\/h2>\n

It is free and has no medical or hormonal side effects
\nWomen and men abstain from sex play for many reasons even after they’ve been sexually active. A couple may even choose to be abstinent after having had sex play with each other. The reasons people choose to be abstinent may change throughout life.<\/p>\n

People choose abstinence to
\nprevent pregnancy
\nprevent STDs
\nwait until they’re ready for a sexual relationship
\nwait to find the “right” partner
\nhave fun with romantic partners without sexual involvement
\nfocus on school, career, or extracurricular activities
\nsupport personal, moral, or religious beliefs and values
\nget over a breakup
\nheal from the death of a partner
\nfollow medical advice during an illness or infection<\/b><\/p>\n


\n<\/b><\/b>
\nAny woman or man can abstain from sex play. Many do so at various times in their lives. Some choose to abstain from sex play for a great part of their lives.<\/p>\n

What Can You Do With Your Partner While Still Being Abstinent?<\/h2>\n

Depending on your personal definition of abstinence, you may be able to participate in activities like:<\/p>\n

Kissing<\/b>
\nNot only does kissing release those \u201chappy hormones\u201d that help you bond with your partner, it can have an amazing effect on your overall health.<\/p>\n

Manual stimulation
\n<\/b>
\nJust like masturbation, manual stimulation \u2014 using your hands or fingers to pleasure your partner \u2014 can be a fantastic way to help you reach orgasm without sexual penetration.
\nYou can also experiment with using sex toys or lubricant to stimulate each other. Your risk for pregnancy and STIs increases when bodily fluids get involved, so be sure to take precautions.<\/p>\n

Oral sex
\n<\/b>
\nWhen it comes to pleasure, there are a lot of options for using your mouth on your partner\u2019s genitals and other erogenous zones.
\nWhether you\u2019re trying blow jobs, cunnilingus, rimming or something else, it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re still using protection from STIs.<\/p>\n

Is pregnancy possible?<\/h2>\n

Abstinence is the only birth control method that\u2019s 100 percent effective,<\/b> but that only works if you\u2019re actually abstinent 100 percent of the time. It only takes having unprotected vaginal sex once or sperm entering the vagina through another form of sexual activity for pregnancy to occur. If you and your partner are ready for sex, be sure to talk about condoms and other forms of birth control.
