The act of purposely abstaining from sex is called celibacy. If You decide not to have sex for some time then you‘re being celibate. Some people decide to be celibate until they get married and it worked for them. I must say, being celibate is not easy especially if you’re a sexually active person with high libido and if you’re in a relationship with the intention of being celibate my dear, it'll be hard, I’m not talking about a long-distance relationship. I heard some married also practice celibacy because they want to be Intimate without sex. Mind you I feel like it is achievable if you put your heart into it and being celibate helps in a lot of ways.
Benefits of being celibate
It promotes better health: Abstinence from sex can improve the immune system and bring about better health. I feel like constant sex is stress.
It helps with mental health: Not having sex for a while helps with clarity, helps to focus on other aspects of life, and also improves mental health.
It helps build a meaningful and true relationship: To be honest, some people's main reason for being in a relationship is sex, abstinence will help filter people like that.
You’re not at risk of getting pregnant out of wedlock or contracting sexually transmitted diseases or infections.
Spiritually it brings you closer to God and helps with stability between the body and soul.
I don’t think there’s any known disadvantage to abstaining from sex so it’s a very good decision to make.
