Extreme abstinence

In the context of sexual activity, "extreme abstinence" refers to a deliberate and rigorous avoidance of sexual activity, often for an extended period of time, and can be associated with self-imposed limits or strict personal, moral, or religious beliefs. It goes beyond casual or temporary abstinence (such as celibacy or chastity) and can involve a deep commitment to resisting any form of sexual expression, whether through physical activity or even sexual thoughts and fantasies. This level of abstinence might be practiced for various reasons, including spiritual or religious goals, personal development, or as a response to societal or cultural ideals. In some cases, it may be seen as a way to maintain purity, focus energy on other life pursuits, or avoid attachment or temptation. "Extreme abstinence" in sexual terms can often be associated with ascetic practices, where individuals actively choose to suppress or avoid their sexual desires in pursuit of a higher purpose or sense of self-discipline.
