abstinence

Abstinence ... waiting or “abstaining” from
sexual activity of any kind.

The decision you make about having sex or waiting until you're married will have a major impact on the direction of your life. Teenagers and young women may come to regret the decision to have sex. The result of that decision can be life altering - an unplanned pregnancy or contracting a life threatening sexually transmitted disease. Both events can consume a woman and her partner with anxiety, confusion and fear.
