It's a metaphor for saying that one's body is sacred, and so one should treat it well and with respect, as you would to a sacred temple.
The phrase is usually used to justify one's sense of self-respect (dignity), and to express their discontent towards lending their body for other people's gain (or for monetary gains).

Example 1:
Cheeky guy: Hey beautiful, your body is so enticing, you should totally become a model for some magazine 😍
Her: Nah, my body is a temple, I prefer to keep it clean thank you.
Example 2:
Girl friend 1: Hey why are you taking pictures of your feet?
Girl friend 2: Oh it's for only OnlyFans followers, they pay big bucks to see my feet! You should totally join too and we can make cash together!
Girl friend 1: No thanks, my body is a temple.

Get the Stone Temple Pilots mug.Long handled spoon, usually metal, kept on the person and wielded by an unavailable or prudish woman to deter men from intercourse. In all cases the spoon is brought down hard on the top of the chap's truncheon - very effective at turning wood to putty.
Also commonly found on matrons/teachers touring the boy's dormitories after 'lights out' at boarding schools, to stop any cases of self-love that maybe occuring.

Margaret: "Goodness gracious Reginald put that away before it feels the sting of my temperance spoon."

Get the Temperance Spoon mug.I find that subculture tediously templative; desperately clinging to prefab social masks because they’re terrified of the shrieking void within.

Get the Templative mug.The University of Arizona's Student Recreation Center Expansion. It makes Globo Gym look like a Soviet-era sweat box. All of the hugest of the huge congregate and worship the gods of Bench Press and Bicep Curls. It is a life changing experience. Sleeves are not encouraged. If you aren't cracked out on NO-EXPLODE when you are there, you aren't doing it right.

Get the Swole Temple mug.A rush strategy employed by a few starcraft 2 players. In a 2v2 match, one teammate creates a small army early on in order to confuse and prevent the enemy from successfully attacking early on. The other player uses the protoss, teching as fast as humanly possible to Dark templars and warp prisms. Using a warp prism you drop 3+ dark templars behind the enemy base, ussually causing the enemy to rage quit.
Works best when the non-protoss player uses marines or zerglings to gaurd their teammates base.

falcon337 sent a small group of zerglings to attack the protoss player in an early rush...
however koalla99 fended off the attack!
the enemy then teched air in a hope of countering the melee...
but just as he got his first air unit Thepastryviking hit Falcon337 with a dark templar rush!
falcon 337 had no observers and thus, rage quit!
VICTORY!
