Question

Which refusal and avoidance actions are appropriate for someone who intends to remain abstinent? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Before going on a first date, Jose sets boundaries by discussing his decision to remain abstinent with his date.
• In an effort to prevent a potentially unsafe situation, Mia decides not to attend parties if drinking is involved and she doesn’t know most of the people.
• Because Harmon is known for having sex with past girlfriends, Angela decides it is best to not go to prom with him.

Explanation:

The question above refers to sexual abstinence.

The term sexual abstinence refers to a situation where an individual decides that he will not participate in any type of sexual activity, or activities that encourage the practice of sexual relations, during a certain period of life.

In this case, the individual who decides to adopt sexual abstinence stays away from situations that can break the concept of abstinence, such as participating in parties with alcohol and drugs and having a relationship with people who are sexually active.

In summary, we can show three examples of people who maintained sexual abstinence:

• Before going on a first date, Jose sets boundaries by discussing his decision to remain abstinent with his date.
• In an effort to prevent a potentially unsafe situation, Mia decides not to attend parties if drinking is involved and she doesn’t know most of the people.
• Because Harmon is known for having sex with past girlfriends, Angela decides it is best to not go to prom with him.
