Chastity is sexual behavior of a man or woman acceptable to the ethical norms and guidelines of a culture, civilization, or religion.

In the western world, the term has become closely associated (and is often used interchangeably) with sexual abstinence, especially before marriage. However, the term remains applicable to persons in all states, single or married, clerical or lay, and has implications beyond sexual temperance.

In Catholic morality, chastity is placed opposite the deadly sin of lust, and is classified as one of seven virtues. The moderation of sexual desires is required to be virtuous. Reason, will and desire can harmoniously work together to do what is good.

A. Chastity is what you are do. Depending on the fine points of the ethical code you are following, it may involve abstaining from sex or from certain kinds of sex (in some Christian versions, chaste sex can occur within marriage, for example). Chastity says nothing about HOW you are accomplishing this task, though it does imply a kind of motivation about WHY you are choosing to. Sexual repression is one way in which a person might abstain from sex. It is taking whatever desires you have and excluding them from your consciousness. A person who is sexually repressed is not necessarily chaste - they may be having sex even though they don't desire it. Likewise, repression can be voluntary, but it is more often involuntary; a psychological… [cont.]
