Extreme Abstinence (in relation to sexual activity):
The deliberate and total refraining from any form of sexual activity—whether physical, emotional, or mental—in an intense or rigorous manner, often for a prolonged period. This practice may be motivated by personal, religious, or philosophical beliefs and can be seen as a form of asceticism or self-discipline, where the individual intentionally rejects sexual expression or desire to an extraordinary degree.

A person practicing extreme abstinence may choose to refrain from all sexual activity for an extended period—perhaps years—driven by a deep commitment to personal discipline or religious devotion. For instance, someone who believes in transcending earthly desires might abstain not just from physical sex, but also from any form of sexual fantasy or even casual flirtation. This person might avoid intimate relationships altogether, viewing any sexual engagement as a distraction from their higher purpose or spiritual goals.
This could apply to someone in a monastic setting, like a religious figure who vows celibacy and enforces strict boundaries, or it could refer to someone outside of religious contexts who simply decides to reject all sexual experiences and desires for personal or ideological reasons.

You may be tempted to streamline your affairs over the coming year but don’t go to extremes. Instead, be pragmatic and aim to reform your life just a day at a time. That way you are less likely to throw out things you are still going to need.

When one is struck suddenly with the urge to go #2 in an awkward setting and needs to find a bathroom immediately.
After the sorority wings eating contest I had to go extreme-o so badly but there were too many people in the sorority house and I had to go across the street to the freshman dorm to find an empty bathroom.
