March 12, 2009
Abstinence is a relative term, the definition of which is subjective. Some people consider abstinence as staying away merely from having vaginal intercourse. They might be enjoying other modes of sex play and still consider themselves to practice abstinence.
Some others give a more strict sense to the term and consider abstinence as the stage of not involving in any mode of sex play. In this sense of the term, abstinence provides absolute security from all sorts of sexually transmitted infections. It also nullifies the possibility of unintended pregnancy. Abstinence presents pregnancy, as the sperm is not allowed to come into with the vagina.
Another greatest advantage of using abstinence, as your ‘contraceptive tool’ is that you do not have to face the medical and hormonal side effects caused by the use of pills and intrauterine devices. Thus, without having to suffer side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, spotting etc you are saved from the risks of pregnancy.
Staying abstinent is a choice, which is very much personal. However, in case of married couple, it is extremely important to convince your partner regarding the compelling factors that made you stick to abstinence. If your spouse is kept in darkness regarding your decision, the warmth of relationship is likely to be affected adversely. It is always advisable for partners to take decisions regarding their sex life together.
Once the decision has been made, extreme care should be taken to ensure that it s kept intact. It is often found that the intake of beverages such as alcohol and also drugs adversely affects the judgment. Addiction to such substances makes a person break his vow of abstinence easily.
In order to stay abstinent it is important to remind oneself regarding the factors, which made you take the decision. The consequences that you are forced to face if you happen to break your vow of abstinence will also help you in staying abstinent.
