The view of sex that most religions take is not that it's evil, but that it belongs within the confines of marriage. Thus, chastity is not a refusal to engage in sex, but a refusal to engage in sex outside marriage. A woman who practicies chastity has sex with her husband only; a woman who practices celibacy does not have sex. To be chaste is to bring the sexual urges under the dominion of your faith, not to merely deny them. People following an abstinence program (properly!) would be practicing chastity.

A sign of true love in a world bound to sexual slavery; Not succumbing to your sexual desires whenever they arise, therefore having true sexual freedom; Loving and respecting sex and love so much that you vow to save yourself into marriage out of love, not fear; Perfecting your sexual desires instead of letting them waste away through selfish pleasures; Vowing yourself to a life of no premarital sex out of love, not fear

One of the seven powers of Creation. The Powers of Light. The strengths of Man. Son of the Father of Day named Love. Chastity is the Boy Next Door who forgets to close the blinds, the White Knight in gleaming silver, the Bachelor who runs away and jumps a fence. The handsome priest who you sometimes caught looking down your shirt who blushes and tells you he is sorry. Chastity is Man not woman power. The boy who honours his Momma and is waiting for the right girl to bring home. The farmers son who tells you you look beautiful under the stars snd that just holding you hand is like being in heaven. That someday he will save up enough money to buy his own farm and when he does he will ask your daddy for your hand. When she had too many drinks and says yes, please, yes, the strongest man is the Chaste man who replies, no please, no and takes her safety home.
