| | Sexual abstinence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Abstinence is often viewed as an admirable act of self-control over the natural desire to have sex. | | | Some groups that propose sexual abstinence consider it an essential means to reach a particular intellectual or spiritual condition, or that chastity allows one to achieve a required self-control or a self-consciousness. | | | Additionally, as sexual skills are learned over time, there may be long term consequences to a practice that deprives people of experience they may need in order to form an understanding of their own feelings and their compatibility with others. |

| | > Abstinence |
| | However, the goal of abstinence education is to give teens the facts about the negative emotional and physical consequences of having pre-marital sex, as well as the benefits of waiting, so that they can make an informed choice about their sexual behavior. | | | Although some teens who choose abstinence may also be influenced by their personal religious convictions, abstinence-until-marriage education is about making healthy choices to be free from the risks of STDs, unplanned pregnancy and negative emotional consequences. | | | Critics of abstinence education often assert that there are no “abstinence-until-marriage” programs that have proven to be effective in reducing teen sexual activity. |

| | Understanding 'Abstinence': Implications for Individuals, Programs and Policies |
| | From a public health perspective, it is important both to subject abstinence to the same scientific standards that apply to other contraceptive methods and to make consistent comparisons across methods. | | | For example, if they are told that abstinence is 100% effective, they should also be told that, if used correctly and consistently, condoms are 97% effective in preventing pregnancy. | | | Thus, when the president suggests that abstinence is 100% effective, he is implicitly citing its perfect-use rate—and indeed, abstinence is 100% effective if "used" with perfect consistency. |
