  5. ABSTINENCE • What is abstinence? • Why choose abstinence? • Why could choosing abstinence be challenging? • What are alternative ways that a person who is abstinent can be intimate with a partner? • How will I know if I’m not ready for sex?

  6. ABSTINENCE There is more than one possible definition of sexual abstinence between two consenting people: • avoiding vaginal intercourse (penis to vagina sex), • avoiding oral (mouth to penis or vagina sex) and anal intercourse (penis to anus sex), or • avoiding genital contact (any type of direct touching of the partner's penis or vagina) Abstaining is not necessarily forever, and it is not only for virgins.
